Data from: Different effects of fire age and fire recurrence on grass and woody plant chemistry in Kafue National Park, Zambia

In savannas, fire and herbivores are important drivers of natural ecosystem processes. Fire is also used intensively for management purposes. However, reported fire effects differ between studies. Reasons for these differences are still poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effects of fire on leaf chemistry of grasses and woody plants in the savanna of the Busanga Flood Plain, Zambia, in relation to the time elapsed between plant sampling and the last fire (fire age) and the frequency of fires during the last 16 years (fire recurrence). We analyzed leaves for their nitrogen, carbon and fiber concentrations, and estimated their metabolizable energy content, reflecting feed quality for browsers and grazers. Grasses and woody plants differed in all chemical components and showed different responses to fire. Grass quality was higher at sites burnt in the year of sample collection than at sites burnt only in previous years, but did not change under different fire recurrences. Leaves of woody plants did not differ in relation to fire age but their quality increased with increasing fire recurrence. In woody plants, the carbon content responded to the interaction between fire age and fire recurrence, indicating changes in carbon allocation in response to fire. Thus, burning increased feed quality for grazers and browsers but on different temporal scales. The scale effects may contribute to the differences in resource allocation described by different studies. They merit more attention in management decisions as well as in future studies on fire effects in savanna systems.

Great Basin National Park, NV air temperature and relative humidity

Hourly air temperature and relative humidity data has been collected from a network of 29 data-logging sensors installed within radiation shields ~1.5 m above ground level at discrete sites within the Great Basin National Park (GBNP), NV, USA from August 2006 to August 2023. The sensors are "embedded" – suspended in trees or atop wooden stakes – within diverse ecosystem types spanning over 2,000 m of elevation, and are maintained/downloaded during annual visitations by collaborating teams of students and staff from the Ohio State University, University of Georgia, and Sinclair Community College, assisted by GBNP staff. This dataset can be utilized to assess the microclimates and weather patterns within the GBNP. The dataset comprises daily mean, maximum, and minimum temperature and relative humidity collected between Aug 2006 – Aug 2023. Hourly, raw data are available upon request.

The dataset “Rapid Documentation Of Avifaunal Diversity of Neora Valley National park, Kalimpong,West Bengal, India” is published by Nature Mates Nature Club Neora Valley National park established in 1986 is situated  in Kalimpong district of West Bengal, India. It is also known as the land of Red Panda. It spreads over an area of 88 km2 (34 sq mi). It is unique and ecologically important as it includes a relatively inaccessible patch of late successional forests and with rich diversity and a wide range of environment gradients.   Four habitat types are recognised viz., (i) Subtropical Mixed Broadleaf Forest, (ii) Lower Temperate Evergreen Forest, (iii) Upper Temperate Mixed Broadleaf Forest and (iv) Rhododendron Forest. The vegetation includes Dry Mixed Forest, Wet Mixed Forest, Lauraceous Forest, Bak-Oak Forest, High level oak Forest, Coniferous Forest, Himalayan Moist Temperate Forest and Rhododendron forest. It is home to several endemic orchids. The common species of Rhododendrons are Rhododendron arboruem, R. barbatum, R.falconeri, R. dalhousiae. A number of species with medicinal value are also found here. Some of them are Swertia chirata, Lycopodium spp., Aconitum spp., Aristolochia spp., Berberis cristata, Costus speciosa, Didymocarpus pedicellate, Rouwolfia serpentine, etc.   Neora valley national has a rich faunal diversity like, Mammals reported from this area are Indian leopard, five viverrid species, Asiatic black bear, sloth bear, Asian golden cat, wild boar, leopard cat, goral, serow, barking deer, sambar deer, flying squirrel and tahr, red panda, clouded leopard, Reptilian fauna includes King cobra, common krait, green pit viper, blind snake, lizards. Insects include butterflies, moths, beetles, bees, wasps, bugs and cicadas. Besides this it is also bestowed with rich avian diversity. The dataset presented below compiles a comprehensive record of avian species observed during a field excursion to Neora Valley National Park on  2nd and 3rd March of the year 2021. All the birds have been categorized and recognised at either the species or genus taxonomic rank. The avian taxonomic group is varied, consisting of 59 species that are categorized into 30 families and 8 orders.   Resource Contacts Name: Arjan Basu Roy Position: Secretary Organization: Nature Mates-Nature Club Address: 6/7 Bijoygarh Kolkata-700032 Email: basuroyarjan@gmail.com Orcid :<a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9872-3562"> https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9872-3562</a> Home page:<a href="http://www.naturematesindia.org/"> http://www.naturematesindia.org/</a> Name: Lina Chatterjee Position: Research Affiliate Organization: Nature Mates-Nature Club Address: 6/7 Bijoygarh Kolkata-700032 Email: lina.linachatterjee@gmail.com Orcid :<a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5626-5046"> https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5626-5046</a> Home page:<a href="http://www.naturematesindia.org/"> http://www.naturematesindia.org/</a> Name: Tarak Samanta Position: Research Affiliate Organization: Nature Mates-Nature Club Address: 6/7 Bijoygarh Kolkata-700032 Email: taraksamanta995@gmail.com Orcid :<a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6809-0549"> https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6809-0549</a> Home page:<a href="http://www.naturematesindia.org/"> http://www.naturematesindia.org/</a> Name: Rishin Basu Roy Position: Researcher Organization: Nature Mates-Nature Club Address: 6/7 Bijoygarh Kolkata-700032 Email: <a href="mailto:wildrishin@gmail.com">wildrishin@gmail.com</a> Orcid : <a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9638-818X">https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9638-818X</a> Home page: <a href="http://www.naturematesindia.org/">http://www.naturematesindia.org/</a> Name: Nivedita Sengupta Position: Intern Organization: Nature Mates-Nature Club Address: 6/7 Bijoygarh Kolkata-700032 Email: niveditasngpta.ns@gmail.com Orcid :<a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1085-7385"> https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1085-7385</a> Home page:<a href="http://www.naturematesindia.org/"> http://www.naturematesindia.org/</a> Name: Vijay Barve Position: Research Advisor Organization: Nature Mates-Nature Club Address: 6/7 Bijoygarh Kolkata-700032 Email: vijay.barve@gmail.com Orcid :<a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4852-2567"> https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4852-2567</a> Home page:<a href="http://www.naturematesindia.org/"> http://www.naturematesindia.org/</a>

Network embedding for understanding the National Park System through the lenses of news media, scientific communication and biogeography

The United States national parks encompass a variety of biophysical and historical resources important for national cultural heritage. Yet how these resources are socially constructed often depends upon the beholder. Parks tend to be conceptualized according to their (fixed) geographic context, so our understanding of this system of systems is dominated by this geographic lens. To expose the systemic structure that exists beyond their geographic embedding, we analyze three representations of the national park system using park-park similarity networks according to their co-occurrence in: (a) ~423,000 news media articles; (b) ~11,000 research publications; and (c) ~60,000 species inhabiting parks. We quantify structural variation between network representations by leveraging similarity measures at different scales: park-level (park-park correlations) and system-level (network communities' consistency). Because parks are governed and experienced at multiple scales, cross-network comparison informs how management should account for the varying objectives and constraints that dominate at each scale. Our results identify an interesting paradox: whereas park-level correlations depend strongly on the representative lens, the network communities are remarkably robust and consistent with the underlying geographic embedding. Our data-driven methodology is generalizable to other geographically embedded socio-environmental systems and supports the holistic analysis of systems-level structure that may elude other approaches.

Prioritization – ZONATION of Šumava National Park

The final raster layer of prioritization created by using ZONATION software. It is a result of our analyses: we made habitat suitability models for fifty species and used a habitat mapping layer – a detailed description of natural habitats with its older and updated version of the layer. These biodiversity features were inputs for ZONATION. The algorithm starts from the whole landscape and iteratively removes pixels of the raster of the lowest conservation value. We used ABF (additive benefit functions) algorithm, which emphasizes locations with many occurrences of different species and richness of the inputs. The final file divides Šumava NP (our study area) into one hundred same pieces according to its conservation priority.
