Quantifying Growth and Structure along Forest Edges in the Northeastern USA 2010-2021
Fragmentation transforms the environment along forest edges. The prevailing narrative, driven by tropical research, suggests that edge environments increase tree mortality and structural degradation resulting in net decreases in ecosystem productivity. We show that temperate forest edges exhibit increased forest growth (basal area increment; BAI) and biomass (basal area; BA) with no change in total mortality relative to the forest interior. To assess forest edges, we analyzed more than 48,000 forest inventory plots (USDA FIA) across the north-eastern US using a quasi-experimental matching design. At forest edges adjacent to anthropogenic land covers, we report increases of 36.3% and 24.1% in forest growth and biomass, respectively. We then scale the edge impacts on growth (along anthropogenic edges only) across our study area using maps of land-cover and forest type. We find large variability in the effect of including edges on estimates of total forest growth, largely driven by differences in the prevalence of fragmentation. Estimated increases in forest growth range from a 23% increase in the agricultural-dominated western areas, a 2% increase in the least-fragmented northern regions, and a 15% increase within the metropolitan east coast. Finally, we also quantify forest fragmentation globally, at 30-m resolution, showing that temperate forests contain 52% more edge forest area than tropical forests. We provide two tables containing the post-matched dataset of FIA subplots, including subplot BA, BAI, and edge status. We include the associated environmental covariates, extracted from gridded raster data, and used in our matching and statistical analyses. Due to plot confidentiality restrictions we do not provide spatial locations of the FIA subplots, but we do provide unique plot identifiers that allow users to link each record to the publically-available data provided by the USDA FIA database (https://apps.fs.usda.gov/fia/datamart/). This dataset can be used to re
Quantifying Forest Edge Area in the Northeastern USA 2016
Temperate forests are the most fragmented forest biome, yet current understanding of fragmentation effects on ecosystem processes, such as carbon cycling, is rooted in tropical forest research. In the associated manuscript, we review the effects of persistent fragmentation on temperate forest ecosystem processes and quantify the extent to which the US national forest inventory and land-cover maps represent forest edge area. We find a systematic underrepresentation of forest edges across all methods. Compared with very high resolution (1 m) maps, conventional 30 m resolution forest cover maps underestimate forest edge area by 16.4%, on average. Accounting for all forest edge area and edge effects on forest structure and growth results in a 14.8% median increase in aboveground forest carbon estimates with 23.8% and 74.2% increases in agriculturally and urban dominated counties, respectively. We conclude by proposing improvements to forest inventories, maps, and models to better represent the fragmented temperate forest landscape. We provide Google Earth Engine scripts (Gorelick et al. 2017; written in JavaScript) to calculate forest edge area and forest cover from commonly-used land cover maps, including the 2016 National Land Cover Database (NLCD), the 2016 Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection annual product (LCMAP), and the 2016 MODIS Land Cover IGBP annual product (Yang et al. 2018; Sulla-Menashe et al. 2019; Brown et al. 2020). We also include equivalent scripts to process a very-high resolution (1-m pixel size; VHR) land cover map of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed in 2014 (Pallai and Wesson 2017). We provide an R script to calculate forest edge proportion from the US national forest inventory (USDA FIA), following methods to identify inventory plots containing forest edge as described in Morreale et al. (2021) and using the R library rFIA to access the FIA data (Stanke et al. 2020). We also provide a data table containing the estimated forest area and
Sap-flux and associated environmental data from ash tree monitoring at four urban parks in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, from May to November of 2023.
We measured the sap flux density of eighteen ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) of varying health and canopy conditions across four urban parks in the City of St. Paul, MN, USA in summer 2023 with a low-cost, compact data logger system we designed in-house. Although many ash trees in the city have either been killed or removed to control the spread of Emerald Ash Borer, chemical insecticide treatments are available for trees that are in early stages infestation. The trees selected for the research have all been receiving insecticide treatment for a few years, but their health and canopy conditions vary. We also have collocated temperature, soil moisture, and precipitation measurements at the same site for summer 2023.

Orbicella faveolata and O. franksi coral metagenome assemblies from the Lower Florida Keys region of Florida, USA
<div> <p>The enclosed files include mostly <em>Orbicella faveolata</em> and three <em>Orbicella franksi</em> coral metagenome assemblies collected from the Lower Keys in Florida’s Coral Reef, USA. Metadata for the files is included in this repository. Apparently healthy coral tissue cores were collected between May 28 and June 21, 2021. The DNA was extracted from the host and associated microorganisms and sequenced in a paired-end 150 bp format on an Illumina NovaSeq. Trimming and quality filtering of DNA sequence reads proceeded, followed by host and photoendosymbiotic dinoflagellate DNA removal. The host-cleaned reads were assembled individually by coral sample into longer contigs using MegaHit v1.1.4. The “Assembly_Fastas” zipped file contains 41 metagenome assemblies from the individual <em>Orbicella faveolata</em> corals and 3 assemblies from the individual <em>Orbicella franksi </em>colonies for a total of 44 assemblies. In addition, these assemblies were annotated with eggnog-mapper v2.1.6 to generate both predicted gene regions and annotation output files. The “Predicted_Gene_Fastas” zipped file contains nucleotide fasta files of the predicted gene regions for all 44 coral metagenome assemblies. The fasta header of each gene includes the contig ID it originated from in the associated “Assembly_Fasta”. The “Predicted_Gene_Annotations” zipped file contains either .csv or .xlsx files with the eggnog-mapper-based annotations. These files contain a “query contig” that corresponds to the contig ID in the fasta header of the “Predicted_Gene_Fasta”. </p> <p>In addition to individual assemblies, a co-assembly was generated that included all 41 <em>Orbicella faveolata</em> coral samples. Prior to co-assembly, further removal of eukaryotic DNA proceeded by splitting the indiviudual assemblies into eukaryotic and prokaryotic content with the program EukRep v0.6.7, followed by mapping of the host-clean reads to the eukaryotic DNA to remove them. The eukaryote-clean reads from all 41 corals were input into MegaHit to generate a co-assembly. The co-assembly is included (FLK_OFAV_MG_coassembly_final.contigs.fa). Predicted genes from the co-assembly were generated with Prodigal v2.6.3 and the nucleotide fasta of the output is included in this repository (FLK_OFAV_MG_pred.fna). Like with the indiviudal assemblies, eggnog-mapper was used to generate annotations of the predicted genes from Prodigal (FLK_OFAV_MG.emapper.annotations.xlsx). Additionally, the abundance of each predicted gene was generated using Salmon to map the eukaryote-clean reads to the predicted genes. The number of reads (counts) for each gene across each coral sample were aggregated as integers into one table and included in this repository (FLK_OFAV_MG_pred_NumReads.tsv). </p> </div> <div> <p>These data were processed and generated by Julie Meyer’s Lab at the University of Florida, using funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. </p> </div>

2018-2020 Laboratory measurements of inorganic carbon accompanied by sensor data measurements of in situ inorganic carbon from the Upper Clark Fork River (Montana, USA)
These data were collected to support the Upper Clark Fork River restoration monitoring project supported by the US NSF Long Term Research in Environmental Biology (LTREB) and Consortium for Research in Environmental Water Systems (CREWS) programs. The LTREB monitoring project consists of monthly and bi-weekly water quality monitoring across a 215-km river restoration gradient contaminated by historic mining practices to monitor inorganic phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations, biotic standing stocks, heavy metal contamination, organic and inorganic carbon concentrations, and physicochemical parameters. The original analytical intent for these data was to assess the accuracy of calculating the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) from electrochemical and spectrophotometric pH along with total alkalinity (AT). These data correspond to two parts: a tank study and a field application. The tank study was a set of controlled laboratory experiments that took place in a well-mixed temperature-controlled tank of freshwater. Data for the tank study are primarily measurements of electrochemical and spectrophotometric pH, AT, electrical conductivity, temperature, and ionic strength. The field application was used to demonstrate the real-world applicability of the tank study results in the Upper Clark Fork River (USGS HUC 17010201) at the Gold Creek site southeast of Missoula, MT, USA. Data from the field application are primarily high frequency measurements of carbon dioxide, pH, temperature, and electrical conductivity. Additional miscellaneous data were collected for quality control. These field data were collected using field deployments of SAMI sensors from Sunburst Sensors (Missoula, Montana, USA). Electrical conductivity data were collected with a HOBO sensor from Onset Computer Corporation (Bourne, Massachusetts, USA).
