Jornada Basin LTER/Jornada Experimental Range site, station Rabbit survey route in creosote vegetation zone, study of animal abundance of Leporidae in units of numberPer10KiometerOfRoad on a yearly timescale
The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters (Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest) to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets. The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project, including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service, US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal (http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application. Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from Jornada Basin LTER/Jornada Experimental Range (JRN) contains animal abundance of Leporidae measurements in numberPer10KiometerOfRoad units and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

BES bird survey habitat features. This is a collection of the habitat features for the BES bird sampling points. Features include number of houses, proximity to trees, shrubs, grass, annuals, and other vegetation and physical features.
This dataset is associated with BES Bird Monitoring Bird Monitoring Project: ================= The BES Bird Monitoring Project is a breeding bird survey designed to find out what birds are found in the breeding season in Baltimore and where. Our monitoring efforts will show associations among block group socioeconomic variables, land cover, land use, and habitat features with breeding bird abundance, to provide information for land managers on possible consequences of land use changes on bird communities. A distinguishing feature of the bird monitoring at BES LTER, relative to other urban bird work, is the capacity for long-term monitoring of features at multiple scales through links to other parts of the project. Different processes influence habitat for birds at different scales, e.g. ongoing household level human decision-making at lot scale vs. block or neighborhood scale abandonment/re-development. Our project seeks to understand how these processes impact bird occurrence, abundance, and composition differ at the lot, block and neighborhood scale. The data consists of four major elements, Sites, Surveys, Taxalist, and Birds. Sites records the sites and their characteristics. Surveys describe the actual outings or sampling sessions. They describe the weather, the temperature, the sites visited. Taxalist provides the integration of speciaies abbreviations and common names, and Birds describes the actual sightings, linking to the other three tables.

BESLTER Permanent Plot vegetation data combined for the survey years of 1998, 2003, and 2015
BESLTER Permanent Plot vegetation data combined for the survey years of 1998, 2003, and 2015. Introduction: Urban forests are often highly fragmented with many exotic species. Altered disturbance regimes and environmental pollutants influence urban forest vegetation. One of the best ways to understand the impacts of urban land-use on forest composition is through long-term research. In 1998, the Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) established eight forest plots to investigate the impacts of urbanization on natural ecosystems (Groffman et al. 2006). Four plots were established in urban forest patches and four in rural forests. All eight plots are located within the Baltimore Metropolitan Area. Purpose: Vegetation in the BES long-term plots were sampled in 1998, 2003, and 2015 to understand the influence of urbanization on species abundances and to quantify change in forest composition, diversity, and structure (Groffman et al. 2006 and Templeton 2016). Plot Structure: Six of the plots are 40�40m (1600m2). The Hillsdale 1 and 2 plots are 30�30m (900m2). The Hillsdale plots are smaller to fit within the boundaries of the forest patch. Sites were selected with the following criteria in mind: 1) to represent urban and non-urban forests, 2) away from obvious habitat boundaries or edges, 3) with consistent drainage lines within the plot, and 4) with at least 80% continuous tree canopy. All vegetation layers were sampled in order to characterize the structure and composition of the plant community. Each plot was permanently outlined with metal markers buried at or below the soil line. Between each of the plot corners, metal markers were placed at 10m intervals. The 10m markers divided the plot into 16 10x10m subplots (nine 10x10m subplots at Hillsdale). Each 10x10m subplot was then further divided into four 5x5m subplots. Only one of the four 5x5m subplots in each 10x10m subplot was used for all vegetation sampling below the tree layer. Shrubs and vines were measured along two
Shrub Survey: Effect of Burning Patterns on Vegetation in the Fish Lake Burn Compartments
This study examines the effects of long-term prescribed burning treatments on vegetation structure and composition, productivity, and nutrient cycling in upland oak savanna and woodland vegetation. The basis for the study is an ongoing, experimental prescribed burning program begun in 1964 at Cedar Creek, and a similar program operating since 1962 on the adjacent Helen Allison Savanna property (owned by The Nature Conservancy). These prescribed burning programs are designed to subject upland oak communities (and some old fields) to different burn frequencies and patterns of burning, with the ultimate objectives of 1) restoring and maintaining the historically important savanna and open woodland vegetation, and 2) providing information about the effects of different burning patterns on vegetation structure and composition. This study addresses the latter of these two purposes and expands on it by also investigating possible influences of fire on resource availability (nutrients, water, and light) and net primary productivity. This study represents a continuation and expansion of experiments 015 and 094.

Vegetation Choice Survey: Twin Cities Household Ecosystem Project
We designed our methods to estimate carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus fluxes through individual households, and to address two primary questions: 1. How are these fluxes distributed across households? 2. What biophysical and socioeconomic factors contribute to differences in these fluxes across households? Our hybrid approach combines: 1. A mailed survey 2. Energy provider records 3. On-the-ground landscape measurements 4. A computational tool (the Household Flux Calculator) 4. Parcel data (interpreted using GIS) The resulting dataset includes information on biophysical and socioeconomic variables that potentially influence household-level fluxes of elements. Using this method to study element fluxes at the household level allows us to explicitly link consumption choices and element fluxes.
