Daily Summary of Soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, stream water temperature, stream stage and discharge data from Soil Moisture Station 01, Highlands Biological Station, Highlands, NC
Measurements of soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, stream temperatue, and stream stage/discharge were collected as part of a long-term monitoring project at the Highlands Biological Station, Western Carolina University, Highlands, North Carolina. The sensor station is located in an acidic cove forest (high elevation subtype) dominated by an understory of Rhododendron maximum and an overstory of Betula alleghanensis and formerly Tsuga canadensis, the latter of which has mostly succombed to the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid.
Soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, stream water temperature, stream stage and discharge data from Soil Moisture Station 02, Highlands Biological Station, Highlands, NC, 2021-2025
Measurements of soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, stream temperatue, and stream stage/discharge were collected as part of a long-term monitoring project at the Highlands Biological Station, Western Carolina University, Highlands, North Carolina. The sensor station is located in a remnant old-growth Canada Hemlock Forest (typic subtype) community dominated by an understory of Rhododendron maximum and an overstory of Tsuga canadensis, the majority of which are still alive and have been treated with systemic insecticides to protect against infestations of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. Other trees include Betula alleghanensis, Acer rubrum, and Quercus rubra. The pressure transducer is located in the thalweg of Coker Creek, a second order stream that flows into Lindenwood Lake.

Measurements of soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, stream temperatue, and stream stage/discharge were collected as part of a long-term monitoring project at the Highlands Biological Station, Western Carolina University, Highlands, North Carolina. The sensor station is located in an acidic cove forest (high elevation subtype) dominated by an understory of Rhododendron maximum and an overstory of Liriodendron tulipifera, Betula alleghanensis, and Tsuga canadensis, the latter of which has several trees that have succombed to the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, though living trees have been treated with a systemic insecticide. The pressure transducer is located in a second order stream known as Station Branch.

Supplementary material for "High semi-natural vegetation cover and heterogeneity of field sizes promote bird beta-diversity at larger scales in Ethiopian Highlands"
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <ol> <li>The intensification of farming practices exerts detrimental effects on biodiversity. Most research has focused on declines in species richness at local scales (alpha-diversity) although species loss is exacerbated by biotic homogenization that operates at larger scales (i.e., affecting beta-diversity). The majority of studies have been conducted in temperate, industrialized countries while tropical areas remain poorly studied. Agricultural landscapes of sub-Saharan Africa are still largely dominated by small-scale subsistence farming, but strenuous efforts to intensify farming practices are currently spreading to meet a growing food demand. It is therefore crucial to understand how these intensified practices affect biodiversity to mitigate their negative impacts. </li> <li>We investigated how farming system (small- vs large-scale farming) and landscape complexity (semi-natural vegetation cover) drive bird species composition, community turnover, and beta-diversity patterns in Ethiopian Highlands’ agroecosystems. We evaluated the following hypotheses: (1) large-scale farming homogenizes bird communities, (2) community turnover is higher in small-scale farms, (3) interactive effects between landscape complexity and farming systems shape avian communities, (4) heterogeneity of field sizes increases community turnover at larger scales. </li> <li>Bird communities underwent greater compositional changes along the landscape complexity than along the agricultural intensity gradient. Contrary to our expectations, beta-diversity was not significantly lower within large-scale farms (no biotic homogenization), and complex landscapes that still offer a high amount of semi-natural vegetation promoted community turnover in both farming systems. </li> <li>Semi-natural vegetation cover mediated how avian communities responded to agricultural intensification: the compositional differences between small- and large-scale farms increased with vegetation cover, further promoting avian community heterogeneity at the landscape level.</li> <li>The heterogeneity in field sizes also enhanced bird community turnover, suggesting that a combination of both small- and large-scale farming systems within a given landscape unit would promote beta-diversity at larger scales, provided large-scale farms do not become dominant.</li> <li>Synthesis and applications: Landscape complexity shaped avian communities to a stronger degree than farming intensity, emphasizing the importance of semi-natural vegetation and landscape heterogeneity for the maintenance of diverse bird communities and for achieving multifunctional landscapes promoting biodiversity and associated ecosystem services on the High Ethiopian plateaus. <br> </li> </ol>

Subglacial valleys and ridges of Highland A, East Antarctica
<p>This dataset contains 3 GIS shapefiles which delineate a landscape buried beneath the ice in East Antarctica. The files are: PlateauBoundaries (a polygon shapefile outlining the extent of 3 blocks of ancient land surface), RADARSATRidges (a line shapefile delineating inferred mountain ridgelines inside each block of ancient landsurface), and RADARSATValleys (a line shapefile delineating inferred valley thalwegs inside each block of ancient landsurface). The landscape was mapped from RADARSAT satellite data of the surface of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. This dataset links to a 2023 paper by the same authors entitled 'An ancient river landscape preserved beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet'.</p>
