Shrub inventory for Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. samples. Sample collection of Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. was undertaken in the Inuvialuit Settlement region, Northwest Territories, Canada during field campaigns in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Shrub stems were sampled from both living canopy-forming shrubs, and from beaver-browsed stems. This dataset consists of inventories of shrub samples and subsamples collected for shrub ring width measurements, dendrochronological chronology formation, and crossdating. This data was collected as part of the Beavers and Socio-ecological Resilience in Inuit Nunangat (BARIN) project. Funding was provided by the UK Research and Innovation Canada Inuit Nunangat UK Arctic research programme (CINUK) grant NE/X002578/1.

Shrub ring width datasets for Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. Sample collection of Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. was undertaken in the Inuvialuit Settlement region, Northwest Territories, Canada, during field campaigns in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Shrub stems were sampled from both living erect canopy-forming shrubs, and from beaver-browsed stems. This dataset consists of standardised ring width (SRW) growth curves per individual shrub sampled. SRW values result from crossdating and averaging across the section and individual shrub level, following established shrub dendrochronological methods. The shrub ring width measurements are used for dendrochronological chronology formation and crossdating. These data were collected as part of the Beavers and Socio-ecological Resilience in Inuit Nunangat (BARIN) project. Funding was provided by the UK Research and Innovation Canada Inuit Nunangat UK Arctic research programme (CINUK) grant NE/X002578/1.
