Abstract
These data were collected to better understand what influences frost table depth at a small (10-1000 m) scale within Arctic shrub tundra. Frost table depth was collected at eight grids and two transects eight times between June 11 and August 20, 2015, resulting in a total of 3056 frost table depth measurements. At locations where frost table depth was measured, snow, vegetation and other landscape variables thought to affect frost table depth were also documented. For more description of the data collection methods, see Wilcox et al. (2019),

Purpose
These data were collected to better understand what influences frost table depth has at a small (10-1000 m) scale within Arctic shrub tundra.
