Sub-micron aerosol particle size distribution collected in the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The authors would highly appreciate to be contacted if the data is used for any purpose.</p> <p>We measured sub-micrometer aerosol particles with two scanning mobility particle spectrometers (SMPSs) between 11 and 400 nm (file name ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution.csv) in 100 bins, and 11 and 181 nm in 77 bins - so no data entry in the remaining 23 bins - (ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution_nano.csv) at a time resolution of five minutes during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). Particles in this size range are important for cloud formation because a sub-set of them can act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).</p> <p>The time series of the size distribution shows that the particle population over the Southern Ocean can be quite variable featuring three dominant modes: a new particle formation mode (11 – 30 nm); an Aitken mode (20 – 70 nm); and an accumulation mode (> 70 nm). Often a concentration minimum between the Aitken and accumulation mode can be observed. It is known as Hoppel minimum (Hoppel and Frick, 1990; 10.1016/0960-1686(90)90020-N). Typically, particles larger than this minimum act as CCN. The variability of the particle size spectrum is a result of particle sources and atmospheric processes. Sea spray generation adds larger particles likely with a peak in the mode around 200 nm. Trace gas emissions from microbial communities in the ocean, such as dimethylsulfide (DMS) will be oxidized to either sulphuric acid or methanesulfonic acid in the atmosphere which condense onto pre-existing particles, hence growing those. Sulphuric acid can also form new particles (new particle formation mode). Rain and snow will remove particles larger than the Hoppel minimum.</p> <p>The data set can be used to explore the variability of the particle size distribution in three different oceans around Antarctica (Indian, Pacific, Atlantic Oceans) and from Cape Town to Europe in relation to weather patterns, air mass trajectories, microbial activity etc. It is best used in combination with CCN data to explore the importance of particles for cloud formation. This data set cannot be used to unambiguously determine sources of particles over the southern ocean or to trace anthropogenic impact in the region.</p> <p>The data have been cleaned from the influence of the exhaust of the research vessel.</p> <p>We give five-minute average data as dN/dlog(dp), where dN is the particle number concentration per measured size bin normalized over the logarithm of the bin width. The bin width is defined as the distance between two diameters. They are spaced equally in log-space with dlog(dp) = log(d_n+1/d_n) = 1/64. To derive the total particle number concentration between 11 and 400 nm one has to integrate over the diameter range taking into account the normalization by dlog(dp).</p> <p>Temporal coverage is from December 20, 2016 to April 10, 2017. The file “ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution.csv” covers the entire time period except between 9 and 14 January 2017 due to instrument issues. The file “ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution_nano.csv” contains data for the period between 9 and 14 January 2017 and can be used to fill the above gap. The second data file stems from another SMPS with a smaller differential mobility analyser, hence the smaller diameter coverage.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <p>The data set contains two files with the size distribution of sub-micrometer aerosol particles. The rows are indexed by the time stamp, which is the end of the 5-minutes averaging interval. The columns are the normalized concentrations of particles in the respective size bin.

Coarse mode aerosol particle size distribution collected in the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The authors would highly appreciate to be contacted if the data is used for any purpose.</p> <p>We measured coarse mode aerosol particle size distributions with an aerodynamic particle sizer (APS, model TSI 3321) at a time resolution of five minutes during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). The diameter range is 0.7 to 19 µm. Particles in this size range are indicative of primary sea spray aerosol, biological particles and potentially long-range transported mineral dust. These particles are also important for cloud formation as they act as cloud condensation nuclei or ice nucleating particles, the latter especially in the case of biological particles and mineral dust.</p> <p>Typically the instrument reports data starting from particles with a diameter greater than 500 nm, however, particle number concentrations in the channels below 723 nm were overestimated, which is a common artefact with this instrument.</p> <p>The data have been cleaned from the influence of the exhaust of the research vessel. Temporal coverage is from December 20, 2016 to April 10, 2017.

Unveiling the potential of redox chemistry to form size tunable, high index silicon particles
<p>In the present work, the effect of changing the precursor ratio of silicon between sodium silicde and a hexacoordinated silicon complex to form various sizes of particles is studied. TEM images show the size difference between particles produced with different ratios. Particles produced with a 1:1 ratio are 45 nm in diameter and up to a 1:4 precursor ratio is used to make 230 nm particles. X-ray diffraction patterns confirm the presence of crystalline silicon for all sizes, while Raman spectroscopy shows how different degree of oxidation occurs thanks to different particle sizes, shifting the Raman peak. The surface chemistry is also studied to evidence the growth mechanism.</p>

Data in support of 'Mechanistic insights into plant community responses to environmental variables: genome size, cellular nutrient investments, and metabolic trade-offs.'
Data was collected to examine whether and how the plant genome size (GS) influences traits (stomata size, stomata density, cellular and tissue level carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents) and metabolic-tradeoffs (of photosynthesis, evapotranspiration, water-use, efficiency) of plants in treatment plots in which nothing, N, P, or NP had been annually added. Data was collected from ~500 plants from seven grassland sites that are all part of the Nutrient Network (https://nutnet.org), a globally distributed experiment in which plots have different nutrient amendment treatments that are administered identically to allow cross-site comparisons of the effects of nutrients on biodiversity patterning. The sites chosen varied along a North-South latitude, longitude, mean annual precipitation (MAP) and mean annual temperature (MAT) gradient.
Mollusc population size distribution monitoring: Fall 2013 mid-marsh and creekbank infaunal and epifaunal mollusc size distributions based on collections from GCE marsh monitoring sites 1-10
This data set is the Fall 2013 report of infaunal and epifaunal mollusk species size distributions at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring. Infaunal and epifaunal molluscs were hand-collected from within quadrats of known area from mid-marsh and creekbank zones (n = 4 quadrats per zone) at all sites. The molluscs were returned to the lab, preserved in ethanol, measured and counted (count data is reported separately). Length of each measurable individual was determined using calipers or an ocular micrometer mounted in a stereomicroscope. Species abundance and density data for these collections may be found in the GCE-LTER data set INV-GCEM-1407. Numbers of individuals of each species in the abundance data file may not correspond exactly to the numbers of individuals in the size data file because some individuals may not have been measureable.

Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Data in support of Territory sizes and patterns of habitat use by forest passerines over five decades: Ideal free or ideal despotic?, Zammarelli et al.
In this study, we analyzed territory sizes of seven migratory songbirds occupying a 10-hectare plot in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire, USA over a 52-year period (1969-2021). All species varied in abundance over the duration of the study, some dramatically. Changes in territory sizes were inversely related to changes in abundance within the study plot despite differences in habitat preference, supporting the ideal free distribution. Territory sizes varied two-fold within a year across species. Results contribute to understanding how variation in territory size relates to 1) how habitat use changes with bird abundance, 2) the evolution of territory size, and 3) the role of territoriality in population dynamics. This dataset includes data, R code, and spatial files supporting this study. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.

Herbaceous vegetation size and cover data in grasshopper survey quadrats at the Jornada Basin LTER site, 1984 to 1985
This dataset contains annual herbaceous plant data collected in association with grasshopper surveys during 1984 and 1985 as part of the Jornada Basin LTER program. Annual herbaceous plant data was collected from Jornada grasshopper plots on the east bajada of the Dona Ana Mts. Three plots were situated on the bajada parallel to and 200 m south of the LTER-I transect. Two additional sets of three plots were located 5 km and 10 km south of the LTER transect. Each plot is composed of two 50 m belt transects, each divided into ten 5-meter-squared quadrats. Annual plants were measured in the northeast 1 square meter of each quadrat. All individuals of each species were counted and measured. A mean diameter, height, and the total number of individuals per 1-square-meter quadrat were recorded. Measurements were taken in May, July, and September of 1984, and in May and September of 1985. This dataset consists of the date of collection, plot number, transect number, quadrat number, plant species code, mean plant diameter, and mean plant height. This dataset is complete.
Nutrient mineralization from green leaves in litterbags of three mesh sizes in the LUQ-LTER Canopy Trimming 2 Experiment
Hurricanes generate disturbances in forests that alter physicochemical characteristics of the habitat by opening the canopy and depositing fresh wood and leaves. Our objectives were to evaluate the effects of simulated hurricane driven changes to nutrient fluxes from litter to soil immediately following canopy disturbance. This study used three complete replicated blocks with two canopy treatments, control and trim+debris. Measurements were made in three 5 x 5 m subplots within 20 x 20 m plots nested in the 30 x 30 m treatment areas. Anion and cation resin membranes were inserted into the fermentation layer at the litter-soil interface and retrieved after one week. The measurement intervals were 2-4 weeks before canopy trimming, 0-1, 1-2, 2-3 and 4-5 weeks after trimming. Nutrient mineralization differed significantly between control and trim+detritus. Total N and P fluxes occurred at 4-5 weeks after canopy trimming. Litter decomposition depends primarily on the interaction among climate, litter quality and biota, so consequently any change in habitat will result in changes in these factors. Our objectives were to evaluate the effects of hurricane driven changes to forests on green litter decomposition, invertebrate communities and nutrient mineralization. This study used three complete replicated blocks with two canopy treatments, control and trim+debris. Measurements were made in three 5 x 5 m subplots within 20 x 20 m plots nested in the 30 x 30 m treatment areas. Green leaves were enclosed in litterbags of three different mesh sizes in each subplot. Litterbags were retrieved after 21, 35, 84 and 168 days; decomposer fauna was extracted and identified, mineralized nutrients were measured using ion resin membranes, and weight loss was determined. Arthropod abundance differed significantly through time. In addition, the number of arthropod taxonomic groups and nutrient mineralization differed significantly between control and trim+detritus, and nutrient mineralizat
Size-fractionated net primary productivity (NPP) estimates based on 13C uptake during cruises along the Northeast U.S. Shelf Long Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) Transect, ongoing since 2019
This dataset consists of primary production measurements based on uptake of carbon-13 added as 13C-bicarbonate during 24-h deckboard incubations of seawater. Sampling occurred on cruises along the Northeast U.S. Shelf Long Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) Transect during summer, fall, and winter, starting in summer 2019. Net primary production (NPP) was determined from particulate organic carbon (POC) content and associated stable isotope enrichment. Three data tables are included: 1. Depth-specific primary productivity based on fractional light levels of the surface irradiance with reference to the profile of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). 2. Integrated primary productivity. 3. Natural abundance POC. The tables derive from the raw data included as other entities.
Size-fractionated chlorophyll from water column bottle samples collected during NES-LTER Transect cruises, ongoing since 2017.
Size-fractionated chlorophyll a and phaeopigments are measured from discrete bottle samples collected during CTD-rosette casts on Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) Transect cruises (ongoing since 2017), as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Sampling frequency is approximately seasonal. Samples were processed by three lab groups using different methods. Size fractions in addition to whole seawater (>0.7 micron) include >5 , <10, >10, and >20 microns with some samples pre-filtered <200 microns. Pigments were analyzed using fluorometers in which fluorescence was measured versus a blank and a standard, and final concentrations were calculated in micrograms per liter (or mg per cubic meter). Some of the data are from cruises in collaboration with the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI).

SBC LTER: Reef: Monthly fish abundance and size
These data describe the monthly survey on the abundance and size of fish species, as part of SBCLTER's kelp forest monitoring program to track long-term patterns in species abundance and diversity. This study began in 2000 in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, USA. The abundance and size of all taxa of resident kelp forest fish encountered along permanent transects are recorded at three reef sites (Arroyo Burro, Arroyo Quemado, Mohawk) located along the mainland coast of the Santa Barbara Channel. In these surveys, fish were counted in 40x2m benthic quadrat, and in the water parcel 0-2m off the bottom over the same area.
SBC LTER: Reef: Seasonal Kelp Forest Community Dynamics: Urchin size frequency distribution
These data describe the size frequency distribution of red (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) and purple (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) sea urchins within permanent plots of SBCLTER's seasonal kelp forest monitoring program to track long-term patterns in species abundance and diversity. The diameter of the test (shell without spines) was recorded to the nearest 0.5 cm for 50 red and 50 purple sea urchins located within a 40 m x 2 m area of each plot. Size frequency data of red and purple sea urchins are not collected in the continual kelp removal plots. When combined with size-mass relationships established in the laboratory these data were used to provide a non-destructive, in situ estimate of the dry mass per unit area of bottom for each species. The experiment was initiated in 2008 at five reef sites along the mainland coast of the Santa Barbara Channel.
SBC LTER: Reef: Seasonal Kelp Forest Community Dynamics: Abundance and size of Giant Kelp
These data describe the abundance and size of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) within permanent plots of SBCLTER's seasonal kelp forest monitoring program to track long-term patterns in species abundance and diversity. The number of giant kelp > 1 m tall were recorded within four contiguous 20 m x 1m permanent plots located within a 40 m x 2 m area. The number of fronds > 1 m tall were counted for each individual and used as an estimate of its size. The experiment was initiated in 2008 at five reef sites along the mainland coast of the Santa Barbara Channel.
