Sonadora elevational plots: long-term monitoring of air temperature
This is a long term monitoring of air temperature at each elevation plot along the Sonadora gradient. At each plot a HOBO sensor is located close to the middle of the plot: at 1m above ground: and placed inside a radiation shield (a plastic cup). Sensors are programmed to sample and store air temperature every hour. A daily average is computed from hourly readings. Sensors are downloaded twice a year: thus blanks represent sensor malfunction: loss of battery: or memory full. Initial blanks were due to lack of enough sensors to cover the gradient.

Dendrometers during drought 2013-2016 in the Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot
96 trees of 25 species were fit with dendrometer bands in November 2012 and measured for 4 years, on average every 28 days. Initially sampling intensity was once every three months then increase to bi-weekly. The trees were located in the LFDP in 5 modified Gentry transects placed throughout (one in each corner and one in the center); tree tags are LFDP numbers corresponding with LFDP tree census data. Measurements ended in November 2016.

Measurements of height, diameter at breast height and basal diameter for Prestoea acuminata at the Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot (LFDP), Puerto Rico in January 2020.
Data were collected in January 2020 in Puerto Rico, within and outside the boundaries of LFDP. For each of these palms, we measured stem height from the ground to the base of the crown (Hbc; height of the youngest internode), diameter at 130 cm above ground (D130), and basal diameter (DB; just above the top of the roots). These are the data which accompany the publication: Height-diameter allometry for a dominant palm to improve understanding of carbon and forest dynamics in forests of Puerto Rico.

Potentilla plot soil moisture for Cabin Clearing, Elk Meadows and Rainbow Meadows, 2019.
To understand parent-hybrid dynamics in cinquefoil (Potentilla) species in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, I am estimating environmental overlap among parents and hybrids, interbreeding among parents and hybrids, and hybrid population growth in multiple natural populations at NWT and (not included here) the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL). Since 2018, I have been monitoring populations at Rainbow Meadows Lower, Rainbow Meadows Upper, Elk Meadows South, and Cabin Clearing - sites that vary in cinquefoil composition. In 2019, my team and I recorded reproductive phenophases (e.g., vegetative, buds, flowering, setting seed) on tagged plants in June, July, and August. When plants began flowering, we estimated floral counts. Characterizing flowering phenology of parent and hybrid species in each site sheds light on the potential for ongoing interbreeding in different environments. NWT soil moisture are provided here, demographic and phenological data are shared separately. This data was collected to test broad hypotheses about hybrid-parent dynamics in changing montane environments.
Soil moisture, temperature and relative humidity for subalpine forest permanent plots, 2017 - 2021.
We collected microclimate data for 12 permanent forest plots in subalpine forests and at alpine treeline at Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA. We collected soil temperature (2015-2020), air temperature (2015-2020), air relative humidity (2015-2020), and soil moisture data (2015-2019). Soil temperature, air temperature, and air relative humidity data were collected year-round, but they are not necessarily continuous during the sample period due to instrument failure. The goal of winter soil temperature data collection was to estimate snow duration. Soil moisture was collected every two weeks from 2015-2019 and continuously from June to October in three sites in 2018 and 2019. See data for periods of sampling and methods for details on sampling interval and instrumentation.
Individual and community flowering phenology, seed counts and pollinator visitation rates in shrub and open plots across Niwot Ridge, 2019 - 2021.
Climate-change induced alterations in environmental conditions in the alpine tundra has led to the expansion of woody shrubs, known as “shrubification.” Shrubification is thought to change microclimatic conditions, potentially leading to changes in plant community composition. Shrubification has been taking place at Niwot Ridge, a Long Term Ecological Research site nestled in the mountains of Colorado, for the past 40 years. Thus far, Niwot Ridge has seen some change in alpine plant communities due to shrubification, and changes in plant reproductive capacity and success could lead to future alterations of community composition. One important aspect in plant reproductive success is the timing of flowering, known as flowering phenology. Flowering phenology is controlled partially by environmental conditions, and thus is somewhat plastic for many species. In the first part of my thesis, I explore how shrubification may be causing changes in flowering phenology for 21 different plant species in the alpine tundra community at Niwot Ridge. I conducted an observational study over three years, monitoring the number of flowers present in 54 pairs of shrub-influenced and open plots, totaling 108 plots. I found that there is no difference in the flowering phenology between open and shrub-influenced plots. There is a measurable difference in the number of flowers produced between shrub and open plots, with open plots having more flowers on average, This difference is likely due to there being fewer plants in shrub-influenced plots. A second aspect explores shrub effects on the reproductive success of five different alpine species. In the field season of 2021, I took seeds from these five species from 12 pairs of shrub and open plots, totaling 24 plots. I counted and weighed the seeds to determine reproductive success; there was no difference in reproductive success between shrub and open plots.
Individual plant phenology data for Saddle nodal plots, 1984 - 1992.
Phenological data were collected weekly for permanently tagged plants located in 14 permanent plots (refered to as the nodal plots) in the Niwot Ridge Saddle area. 12 of the plots represent the 6 plant communities or noda (two from each nodum) identified in the Saddle (May 1973). The two remaing plots were located adjacent to two temporary snowfences erected near Saddle grid stake 49. The plots were 1x10 m, and were further divided into 10, 1x1 m quadrats. Plant species studied include Acomastylis (Geum) rossii, Bistorta (Polygonum) bistortoides and Bistorta (Polygonum) vivipara. Ten individuals of each species present in a plot were randomly selected. Plants were tagged approximately two inches behind each plant with an aluminum tag labelled with the species abbreviation and plant number. Tagged plant locations were determined using a Cartesian coordinate system with the outside corner of quadrat 1 serving as the origin. These locations are on permanent file at INSTAAR. Data collection began on 1 June, or as plots became snow free, and continued until senescence. Missing tags were replaced during the first week of data collection. Missing plants were replaced by a new plant in immediate area and the new coordinates were recorded.

Lidar digital elevation models and topographic change detection results from burned and unburned plots in the Sevilleta LTER.
These data were generated as part of a research project focused on montiroing sediment flux in dryland ecosystems following wildfire. In six separate small plots, three burned and three unburned, we conducted light detection and ranging (lidar) topographic surveys in 2016, 2017, and 2018 to document elevation changes and the volume of sediment deposition and erosion. At the down-wind edge of each plot, we used sediment catchers to trap sediment exiting the plots and thus estimate erosion volumes using in-situ equipment, which provided a secondary measurement of sediment efflux from all sites in addition to the lidar data. We used the geomorphic change detection software (https://gcd.riverscapes.xyz/) to produce maps of topographic change from the lidar digital elevation models for the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 periods at all plots, burned and unburned. Results from this project may aid in understanding post-fire transport of sediment and nutrients from drylands following wildfire.
Water Balance Modeling Project at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico: Vegetation Plot Data (1995-1998)
The water balance vegetation plots were part of a larger water balance monitoring project at the Sevilleta LTER. The plots were designed to measure the percent cover of photosynthetic/transpiring (green) plant species at specific sites where time domain reflectometry (TDR) probes and weather stations were already installed. In 1995, there were three sites (Field Station, Deep Well and Rio Salado). A 30m x 30m plot was installed at each site, and collection of vegetation data commenced in July 1995. Percent cover (green) and species identities were recorded monthly at a representative sample of 1m square quadrats within each plot.
