Konza Prairie site, station NWS COOP #144972, Manhattan, KS, study of air temperature (mean minimum) 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 Konza Prairie (KNZ) contains air temperature (mean minimum) measurements in celsius units and were aggregated to a monthly timescale.

Monitoring of vegetation and fire in Florida scrub, flatwoods, and wet prairie in south-central Florida from 1977-2015

This data package is comprised of three datasets all pertaining to the impacts of prescribed fires and wildfires on vegetation at 11 permanent transect sites over nearly four decades at Archbold Biological Station (ABS) in south-central Florida. Data were collected between 1977 to 2015 in wet prairies, flatwoods, oak scrub, rosemary scrub, and hickory scrub. The first dataset, cover_data, contains year and month of sampling at a given transect site, the vegetation association type, burn unit, and the percentage cover data for sampled species and bare ground. The second dataset, fire_occurrence, includes the dates of each fire that impacted each transect site, the burn unit of the transect, and the percentage of transect burned. The third dataset, species_information, includes the scientific name, common name, plant family, and nativity of each sampled species. A fourth unpublished dataset provides the GPS locations for all the aluminum posts that mark each of the 11 transects. These data are available from the Archbold data manager. Below we summarize the setup and data collected for each dataset. Cover_data: We determined the percentage cover (i.e., dominance) of each encountered species at 11 vegetation stands including two wet prairies (WS20, WS21), three flatwoods (WS30, WS42, WSP1), and six Florida scrub associations including four oak scrubs (WS26, WSP2, WS24, WS25, the latter two include areas of rosemary scrub), a rosemary scrub (WS27), and a hickory scrub (WS29). Each stand was sampled at selected times, ranging from five to as many as 12 repeated samplings, during the 38-yr period beginning in 1977 and continuing to 2015. Stands were sampled during January (mid-way during the winter dry season) except for sampling four stands in May 1977 and eight stands in July 1977 to document short-term 4-month and 6-month vegetation recovery following the initial January 1977 prescription burn. At each permanently marked transect site, we sampled 200 m using two parall

Reproductive output--number of flowering heads: The Diversity and Abundance of Prairie Plant Communties

This study is divided into six experiments that test the influence of many factors on the diversity and abundance of prairie plant communities. Each "community" is a 2.25 meter square plot seeded with the same amount of seeds from 59 different species of plants. The first experiment is a nitrogen-fire-water factorial. The second experiment is a nitrogen-pH factorial. The third experiment is a nitrogen gradient and the fourth experiment is a nitrogen gradient with a diversity of seeds added each year. The fifth experiment is a disturbance gradient and the last experiment has three levels of soil heterogeneity (variance from the mean) for both nitrogen and pH. See trmte86, trmte103, trmte104, trmte105, trmte106, trmte107 for plot layout.

Soil pH: Fire X Nitrogen: Interactive Effects in a Prairie-Like Grassland

This experiment was established on top of E002 in field B. In the spring of 1992, 3 randomly chosen replicates of each nutrient treatment of experiment E002 were chosen to be burned each spring. For a description of these plots, see E002. For a list of treatments, see the treatment layouts in file trmte98.
