Synthesizing community changes to global change treatments using the CoRRE (Community Responses to Resource Experiments) database - Data to accompany Avolio et al. 2021

These are the required data to do all subsequent analyses in Avolio et al. 2021 in Ecology Letters using the Community Responses to Resource Experiments database (corredata.weebly.com). Paper abstract: Global change is impacting plant community composition, but the mechanisms underlying these changes are unclear. Using a dataset of 58 global change experiments, we tested the five fundamental mechanisms of community change: changes in evenness and richness, re-ordering, species gains and losses. We found 71% communities were impacted by global change treatments, and 88% of communities that were exposed to two or more global change drivers were impacted. Further, all mechanisms of change were equally likely to be affected by global change treatments – species losses and changes in richness were just as common as species gains and re-ordering. We also found no evidence of a progression of community changes, e.g., re-ordering and changes in evenness did not precede species gains and losses. We demonstrate that all processes underlying plant community composition changes are equally affected by treatments and often occur simultaneously, necessitating a wholistic approach to quantifying community changes.

A simple global river bankfull width and depth database

<p>A simple global database of river widths and depths was derived using the HydroSHEDS river topology data set and simple geomorphic relationships among area, discharge, width, and depth. This database can be useful to provide initial estimates for hydraulic or hydrologic modeling where other suitable measurements are unavailable. The purpose of this database is not to replace more detailed estimates of river width and depth, but it is a first attempt at mapping these river characteristics with near-global coverage.&nbsp;</p>

Lake-TopoCat: A global Lake drainage Topology and Catchment database

<p><strong>Contact</strong>: Md Safat Sikder (mssikder@illinois.edu), Jida Wang (jidaw@illinois.edu)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Citation</strong></p> <p>If you use&nbsp;Lake-TopoCat, please cite the following paper:</p> <p>Sikder, M. S., Wang, J., Allen, G. H., Sheng, Y., Yamazaki, D., Song, C., Ding, M., Cr&eacute;taux, J.-F., and Pavelsky, T. M.,&nbsp;2023. Lake-TopoCat: A global lake drainage topology and catchment dataset.&nbsp;<em>Earth System Science Data</em>,&nbsp;15, 3483-3511,&nbsp;<a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-15-3483-2023">https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-15-3483-2023</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Data description and components</strong><br>This version of Lake-TopoCat was constructed using the SWOT Prior Lake Database (PLD) v106 (<em>Wang et al.</em>, 2023) lake mask and the 3-arc-second-resolution hydrography dataset MERIT Hydro v1.0.1 (<em>Yamazaki et al.</em>, 2019). The drainage type of each PLD lake, such as isolated, inflow-headwater, headwater, flow-through, terminal, and coastal, was determined with assistance of MERIT Hydro-Vector (<em>Lin et al.</em>, 2021), a high-resolution river network dataset with spatially-variable drainage densities.</p> <p><br>For convenience, the global landmass (excluding Antarctica) was partitioned to 68&nbsp;Pfafstetter Level-2 basins or regions, and the Lake-TopoCat data products were also organized based on these 68 regions, with their region&nbsp;or basin IDs shown in the Fig. 'Pfaf2_basins.jpg', attached to this database.</p> <p><br>Lake-TopoCat consists of five feature components, each with multiple attributes depicting lake drainage relationships. The five features are:</p> <p><strong>1. Lake boundaries:</strong> polygons of 5,893,363 PLD lakes, larger than 1 ha.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; File name: <em>Lakes_pfaf_xx&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </em>where, 'pfaf_xx' indicates the Pfafstetter Level-2 basin ID (shown in Fig. 'Pfaf2_basins.jpg')</p> <p><strong>2. Lake outlets:</strong> points representing outlet or pour points of each individual lake. There are multiple outlets from a multifurcation lake. We identified 5,983,642 outlets for 5,893,363 lakes, where 83,819 lakes (~1.4% of the global lakes) show bi/multifurcation.</p> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; File name: <em>Outlets_pfaf_xx</em></p> <p><strong>3. Unit catchment:</strong> boundary polygons of catchment defining the drainage areas between cascading (i.e., immediately upstream and downstream) lake outlets. The count of unit catchments equal to the count of lake outlets, and bifurcation or multifurcation lakes have multiple local catchments. In total, the delineated catchments in Lake-TopoCat cover about 85.1 million km2, which is about 63% of the Earth&rsquo;s land mass excluding the Antarctic.</p> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; File name: <em>Catchments_pfaf_xx</em></p> <p><strong>4. Inter-lake reaches:</strong> line features defining the drainage networks that connect the lake outlets to the inland sinks or the ocean. About 11 million connecting reaches were generated among ~6 million outlets. The total length of these inter-lake connecting reaches is ~19 million km, which is at least 8.75 times longer than the SWOT-visible river reaches as depicted in the SWOT River Database (SWORD) v16 (<em>Altenau et al.</em>, 2021).</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; File name: <em>Reaches_pfaf_xx</em></p> <p><strong>5. Lake-network basins:</strong> boundary polygons of the entire drainage area containing each inter-lake network (i.e., a complete basin from the headwater to an inland sink or the ocean for all basins containing lakes). A total of 108,985 lake-network basins were identified. Among them, endorheic basins account for 2.75% by count and 19.5% by area of all lake-network basins. These endorheic basins cover ~17.5% of global surface excluding Antarctica.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; File name: <em>Basins_pfaf_xx</em></p> <p>The attribute tables for each of the feature components are explained in Section 4 of the&nbsp;product description document. For user convenience, we release the preliminary Lake-TopoCat lake outlets, unit catchments, and inter-lake reaches, with the affix '_prelim' in the file names (explained in the attached product description document). We also provide the polygon boundaries of the 68 Pfafstetter basins or regions&nbsp;in the file named 'Pfaf2_regions'. All files of&nbsp;Lake-TopoCat are available in both shapefile and geodatabase formats.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Disclaimer</strong><br>Authors of this dataset claim no responsibility or liability for any consequences related to the use, citation, or dissemination of Lake-TopoCat.</p>

globalbioticinteractions/AEC-DBCNet: Collaborative databasing of North American bee collections within a global informatics network project archive

<p>Data in this archive are from the <em>Collaborative databasing of North American bee collections within a global informatics network project</em>. Data was originally captured using Arthropod Easy Capture software developed at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), New York. Project lead investigators are John Ascher (Principal Investigator) and Jerome Rozen (Co-Principal Investigator) at the AMNH, and Douglas Yanega (Principal Investigator), University of California Riverside.</p> <p><strong>Please use this citation for this archive: </strong>John Ascher,&nbsp;Digital Bee Collections Network data archive from the C<em>ollaborative databasing of North American bee collections within a global informatics network project</em>. Version: 08 Mar 2016.&nbsp;https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1436853</p> <p>This project was supported by the National Science Foundation grant <a href="https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0956388">DBI 0956388</a> and <a href="https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0956340">DBI 0956340</a></p> <p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong> Natural history collections contain millions of bee specimens documenting the geographic ranges, temporal occurrence patterns, and floral associations of the 20,000 described bee species. This project will digitize and consolidate specimen records from 10 bee collections across the United States. The investigators will make or verify species identifications, capture full label data, georeference and error-check localities, and upload this information to publicly accessible databases. Web-based tools will be used to capture data across collections efficiently, validate bee and plant names through automated comparison with taxonomic authority files, and synthesize data on species pages with images, digitized literature records, and other information about bees and their host plants. Data will be uploaded to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and to Discover Life (www.discoverlife.org), a website that features customizable global maps for all global bee species and dynamic identification keys for North American species. To obtain information needed to conserve and manage pollinators, the investigators will work with ecologists to model geographic and temporal trends in bee populations in relation to environmental variables. Bees are the most important pollinators of the approximately 1/3 of crops that require animal pollination. Recent declines in honey bee populations highlight the need to understand better the roles of native bees in agricultural and natural systems. This project will help predict risks to bees and their pollination services from climate change, habitat loss, and other factors. The outreach program Bee Hunt (www.discoverlife.org/bee) will educate the public, including students in underserved communities, about bee diversity and the importance of pollination services. Using digital photography and rigorous research protocols, Bee Hunt will empower people at biological field stations, nature centers, parks, schools, and other sites to collect high-quality data to augment information from specimen records.</p>

GLOWCAD: A global database of woody tissue carbon concentrations/fractions

<p><span>Woody tissue carbon (C) concentration is a key wood trait necessary for accurately estimating forest C stocks and fluxes, which also varies widely across species and biomes. However, coarse approximations of woody tissue C (e.g., 50%) remain commonplace in forest C estimation and reporting protocols, despite leading to substantial errors in forest C estimates. Here, we describe the Global Woody Tissue Carbon Concentration Database (GLOWCAD): a database containing 3,676 individual records of woody tissue C concentrations from 864 tree species. Woody tissue C concentration data—i.e., the mass of C per unit dry mass—were obtained from live and dead woody tissues from 130 peer-reviewed sources published between 1980-2020. Auxiliary data for each observation include tissue type, as well as decay class and size characteristics for dead wood. In GLOWCAD, 1,242 data points are associated with geographic coordinates, and are therefore presented alongside 46 standardized bioclimatic variables extracted from climate databases. GLOWCAD represents the largest available woody tissue C concentration database, and informs studies on forest C estimation, as well as analyses evaluating the extent, causes, and consequences of inter- and intraspecific variation in wood chemical traits.</span></p>

A global review of subaqueous spreading and its morphological and sedimentological characteristics: A database for highlighting the current state of the art

<p>Subaqueous spreading, a type of extensional mass transport that is characterized by a ridge and trough<br> morphology, has been documented globally but is poorly understood. Subaqueous spreading is observed on<br> gently inclined surfaces (typically &lt;3◦) when sediment bodies experience a sudden reduction of shear strength<br> along their basal plane during clay softening or liquefaction of sands or silty sand sediment. Historically,<br> spreading has been associated with very large landslides, but many unknown aspects of these mass movements<br> have yet to be clarified. Does spreading influences the large catastrophic failure? What are the sedimentological<br> and morphological aspects that contribute in initiating this process? These are some of the research questions<br> that spurred the present work. Here, we introduce a database that incorporates information from thirty-two case<br> studies, and use this to provide key insights into the sedimentary and morphological aspects of subaqueous<br> spreading that will assist in the identification of spreading elsewhere. We find that subaqueous spreading is most<br> common along passive glacial margins, but is also observed along active margins. The occurrence of contourites<br> interlayered with glaciogenic deposits is, in most cases, associated with landslides (or landslide complexes) with<br> spreading morphology. The database shows that seismic loading is commonly suggested to be the dominant<br> trigger mechanism, although more geotechnical observations and modelling analysis would be needed to support<br> this conclusion. We compare subaqueous spreading with terrestrial spreading, in particular to earthquake-related<br> lateral spreading and clay landslides. We find that subaqueous spreading shares the same driving processes and<br> potentially also some of the trigger mechanisms that are associated with the terrestrial spreading cases. Future<br> work will be required to address the association between spreading and its occurrence on some of the largest<br> landslides on Earth, its development mechanism, and its potential hazard implications.</p>

The Global and National Energy Systems Techno-Economic (GNESTE) Database: Cost and performance data for electricity generation and storage technologies

<p>Here, we present a database which collates historical, current, and future cost and performance data and assumptions for the six most prominent electricity generation technologies; coal, gas, hydroelectric, nuclear, solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power, which together accounted for over 92% of installed generation capacity in 2022. In addition, we provide the same data for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), regarded as critical to the integration of variable renewables such as wind and solar PV.</p> <p>The data are global in scope but with regional and national specificity, covers the years 2015 through to 2050, and span 5510 datapoints from 56 sources. The database enables modellers to select and justify model input data and provides a benchmark for comparing assumptions and projections to other sources across the literature to validate model inputs and outputs. It is designed to be easily updated with new sources of data, ensuring its utility, comprehensiveness, and broad applicability in future.</p>
