The\nCircumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM), produced in 2003, has been\nwidely used as a base map for studies in the arctic tundra\nbiome. However, the relatively coarse resolution and vector format\nof the map were not compatible with many other data sets. We present\na new version of the CAVM, building on the strengths of the original\nmap, while providing a finer spatial resolution, raster format, and\nimproved mapping. The Raster CAVM uses the legend, extent and\nprojection of the original CAVM. The legend has 16 vegetation types,\nglacier, saline water, freshwater, and non-arctic land. The Raster\nCAVM divides the original rock-water-vegetation complex map unit\nthat mapped the Canadian Shield into two map units, distinguishing\nbetween areas with lichen- and shrub-dominated vegetation. In\ncontrast to the original hand-drawn CAVM, the new map is based on\nunsupervised classifications of seventeen geographic/floristic\nsub-sections of the Arctic, using AVHRR and MODIS data (reflectance\nand NDVI) and elevation data. The units resulting from the\nclassification were modeled to the CAVM types using a wide variety\nof ancillary data. The map was reviewed by experts familiar with\ntheir particular region, including many of the original authors of\nthe CAVM from Canada, Greenland (Denmark), Iceland, Norway\n(including Svalbard), Russia, and the U.S. The analysis presented\nhere summarizes the area, geographical distribution, elevation,\nsummer temperatures, and NDVI of the map units. The greater spatial\nresolution of the Raster CAVM allowed more detailed mapping of\nwater-bodies and mountainous areas. It portrays coastal-inland\ngradients, and better reflects the heterogeneity of vegetation type\ndistribution than the original CAVM. Accuracy assessment of random\n1-km pixels interpreted from 6 Landsat scenes showed an average of\n70 % accuracy, up from 39 % for the original CAVM. The distribution\nof shrub-dominated types changed the most, with more prostrate shrub\ntundra mapped in mountainous areas, and less low shrub tundra in\nlowland areas. This improved mapping is important for quantifying\nexisting and potential changes to land cover, a key environmental\nindicator for modeling and monitoring ecosystems.\n\nRelated Publication:\n\nMartha K.
