Kellogg Biological Station site, station KBS LTER weather station, study of air temperature (mean maximum ) in units of celsius on a monthly 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 Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) contains air temperature (mean maximum ) measurements in celsius units and were aggregated to a monthly timescale.

Data and R code for “Both weather and resources influence masting in chestnut oak (Quercus montana Willd.) and black oak (Q. velutina Lam.)”, Plant Ecology, 2021

Masting is the synchronous and highly variable production of fruit within a population. Although several hypotheses have been proposed to explain why and how masting evolved in plants as a reproductive strategy, the factors that trigger a large reproductive effort in a particular year are still not well understood. While both weather and resources have been proposed to play an important role, testing these hypotheses has been challenging due to a lack of long-term data and appropriate experimental designs. In this manuscript, we used 18 years of acorn production data to analyze the relationship between resources, weather, and masting in black oak (Quercus velutina) and chestnut oak (Q. montana). The data were collected in southeast Ohio as part of the Fire and Fire Surrogate (FFS) study, which applied silvicultural treatments (i.e., thinning and prescribed fires) to reduce competition and manipulate resources. We found species-specific responses to the thinning and fire treatments, with an overall increase in acorn production for chestnut oak in the thin + burn treatment and an increase for black oak in the thin-only treatment compared to the control. Chestnut oak reproduction also had strong positive relationships with warm spring temperatures, and a positive change in summer temperatures compared to the previous year (i.e., summer temperatures that went from cool to warm). For black oak, warm spring temperatures increased acorn production while later starts to spring warming the year before decreased acorn production. These results support the hypotheses that both resources and weather (as a cue and as a limiting factor) are important for masting in oaks. Thus, both factors should be included in predictive models for acorn production under current and future climate conditions.
