- Land cover heterogeneity information considering soil wetness across the entire Arctic tundra is of interest for a wide range of applications targeting climate change impacts and ecological research questions. Patterns are potentially linked to permafrost degradation and affect carbon fluxes. First, a land cover unit retrieval scheme which provides unprecedented detail by fusion of satellite data using Sentinel-1 (synthetic aperture radar) and Sentinel-2 (multispectral) was adapted. Patterns of lakes, wetlands, general soil moisture conditions and vegetation physiognomy are interpreted at 10 m nominal resolution. Units with similar patterns were identified with a k-means approach and documented through statistics derived from comprehensive in situ records for soils and vegetation (more than 3500 samples). The result goes beyond the capability of existing land cover maps which have deficiencies in spatial resolution, thematic content and accuracy, although landscape heterogeneity related to moisture gradients cannot be fully resolved at 10 m. Wetness gradients were assessed, and measures for landscape heterogeneity were derived north of the treeline. About 40 % of the area north of the treeline falls into three units of dry types with limited shrub growth. Wetter regions have higher land cover diversity than drier regions. An area of 66 % of the analysed Arctic landscape is highly heterogeneous with respect to wetness at a 1 km scale (representative scale of frequently used regional land cover and permafrost modelling products). Wetland areas cover 9 % and moist tundra types 32 %, which is of relevance for methane flux upscaling.
