Arctic Peatlands And Mineral Wetlands Maps

As a first step to improve our knowledge and understanding of the extent and coverage of Arctic wetlands a series of raster images were developed which combine existing data to provide overview maps (10 km pixels). These data are combined to displays mineral wetlands, peatlands, and the extent of permafrost per pixel. These data can be used at broad scales to illustrate or analyze patterns of wetland extent north of 60° latitude
