Toolik Field Station is life on the wildside! The Weather is made up and the season doesn't matter! You'll
never be able to guess what the next day will be like. Wildlife of all sorts pass
through or make the area their home. Plants of all sorts litter the great country
side. No where else will you find such a hodgepodge of life in one place. Just remember
to stay away from the wolves! They're not tamed just yet.
Our plant phenology program, begun in 2007, monitors the timing of certain developmental
stages within the plant community commonly found in moist acidic tussock and dry heath
tundra. It is an examination of the development and timing of commonly occurring plant
species and how they are affected by a changing climate. Download data from 2007-2017
