Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Thaw Gradient Extended sites: Physical data from land cover classes from an upland watershed undergoing permafrost thaw.

This data set contains meausrements of soil properties (depth to permafrost and depth of organc matter) from sites throughout the wathershed within certain land cover types identified by an unsupervised landcover classification. The purpose was to see how land cover classes differed in soil properties and if we could detect diffences in classes undergoing permafrost thaw that results in thermokarst.本数据集收录了全流域内经无监督土地覆盖分类（unsupervised land cover classification）识别得到的特定土地覆盖类型测点的土壤属性测量数据，涵盖永久冻土（permafrost）埋深与有机质层厚度。本研究旨在明确不同土地覆盖类别的土壤属性差异，并验证能否识别出因永久冻土融化引发热喀斯特（thermokarst）现象的土地覆盖类别间的差异。
