Shrub ring width measurements of Alnus alnobetula and Salix spp. collected from the Inuvialuit Settlement region, Northwest Territories, Canada, 2022-2024 - VERSION 2.0

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. This dataset is an updated version of Hole, G., Buntgen, U., & Wheeler, H.C. (2026).

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.
