Abstract:
This data set contains the UAV-based lidar data of a forest succession dataset in the context of boreal ecosystems survey. The data provides structural and biophysical information on forest state, structure, topography, morphology, disturbance (wildfire, thaw slumps, windfall), thermokarst lake-shore interfaces, among others. Main data products are Lidar-based 3D point clouds. Lidar survey was conducted over 21 selected vegetation transects. Each transect (500m by 200m) contains at least one ground vegetation reference plot (https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.943547). The data was acquired in August and early September 2021 (07.08.2021 - 01.09.2021) along an extended 670 km line segment in Central and Eastern Yakutia (Republic of Sakha), Siberia, Russia. The principal study areas are the intramontane Oymyakon region in the Verkhoyansk mountain range near Lake "Ulu", and the central-eastern Yakutian lowlands with a slightly different ecological setting.
A transect was covered by UAV-based Lidar at flight heights between 60-100 m above ground level. Subsequent analysis and segmentation algorithms allows single-tree crown and canopy analysis.

Comment:
First-order data are Lidar point clouds in .LAS file format. Second-order data products (e.g. canopy height model, vertical complexity index, elevation quantiles, digital terrain models) are provided in .TIFF format. Individual tree crown segments are populated with second-order information in .SHP file format. Further information are provided in the detailed ReadMe file.
This data was collected during the international joint Russian-German expedition 'RU-Land_2021_Yakutia' in collaboration between the Alfred-Wegener-Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in Potsdam, and the North-Eastern Federal University of Yakutsk, with UAV flight support by the Technical University Berlin. Additional funding for equipment was provided by the "Potsdamer InnoLab für Arktisforschung" grant no. F221-08-AWI/001/002, namely the Brandenburg Ministry for Science, Research and Culture.
