Sevilleta Field Station Meteorological Network (SevMET): High frequency measurements from the Sevilleta Field Station Meteorological Station (FSTN), Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, NM, USA, 2024-ongoing.

The Sevilleta Field Station Meteorological Network (SevMET) is a spatially distributed, long-term climate monitoring network established to enhance and expand climate monitoring across a variety of dryland ecosystems (e.g., grasslands, shrublands, woodlands) within the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in central New Mexico. Ecosystem processes in drylands are strongly regulated by climatic drivers that are highly variable in space and time, both within and among years. Therefore, accurate measurement of environmental variables at high spatial and temporal resolution is fundamental to understanding biophysical processes in these ecosystems. SevMET consists of fifteen standardized research-grade weather stations located across multiple dryland ecosystem types (e.g., grasslands, shrublands, woodlands) representative of the southwestern US. Stations continuously measure a standard suite of meteorological variables at five-minute intervals, including air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation, incoming shortwave radiation, wind speed and direction, dew point, vapor pressure, and, at a subset of stations, barometric pressure. Stations also measure a suite of soil parameters (bulk electrical conductivity, dielectric permittivity, temperature, and volumetric water content) at six depths (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 cm) below the ground surface using 1-2 integrated soil profilers. Additionally, phenocams at each station capture images at thirty-minute intervals during daylight hours. This data package contains high-frequency meteorological measurements from the Sevilleta Field Station Meteorological Station (FSTN). Phenocam images can be accessed through the PhenoCam Network at: https://phenocam.nau.edu/webcam/sites/sevmetfstn/. These data complement and extend meteorological data recorded by an adjacent station (Met01), accessible at: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-sev&identifier=1.

Week-long continuous noise levels measured by an IoT-based device - EcoDecibel, in Sanzhi District, Taiwan, Aug 12 2021 - Aug 18 2021.

Noise pollution is a growing concern in urban and rural environments, impacting public health and quality of life. We conducted a study to check the validation of an IoT based, low cost, noise sensor - EcoDecibel as compared to traditional Class 1 and Class 2 noise meters in indoor as well as outdoor environments. Data was collected continuously over a seven-day period at various sites, including arterial roadways, county highways, and environmental areas. The primary objective was to evaluate the performance of the EcoDecibel device in comparison to the gold standard noise meters which was conducted in different settings in indoor and outdoor environments and then the EcoDecibel device was set up in field to analyse the real world noise measurements.Despite its lower cost, the EcoDecibel device demonstrated a high degree of accuracy with an R2 value of 0.9 when compared to the standard devices. This dataset provides valuable insights into noise pollution levels across different environments and highlights the potential of low-cost noise measurement devices for widespread monitoring and research. The metadata accompanying this dataset includes detailed information on the experimental setup, data collection methods, and analysis procedures. The dataset is openly available for further research and validation, promoting transparency and reproducibility in environmental noise studies.

Demographic measures of Liatris ohlingerae (Asteraceae) in 20 populations across multiple habitats and time-since-fire intervals in south central Florida from 1997-2017

Demographic data were collected on 2,858 tagged individually marked plants annually from 1997 to 2017 in 20 populations across three sites on the southern end of the Lake Wales Ridge in south central Florida, USA. Our goal was to understand demographic responses including recruitment, survival, reproduction and mortality of individuals across populations, habitat types and fire-return-intervals. Habitats include rosemary scrub, scrubby flatwoods and human created sandy roadsides. Populations spanned three sites including Archbold Biological Station (18 populations), Florida Forest Service Arbuckle Tract of the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest (1 population), and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Gould Road property (1 population). Annual demographic measures include survival (including plant dormancy), stage, measures of size, reproductive effort and herbivory. Plots were surveyed annually during flowering in August for previously marked plants and searched for newly recruited putative seedlings or previously missed larger adults. This landscape is managed with periodic prescribed fire impacting some populations with additional post-burn censuses completed after the burn. In addition, damage following three hurricanes in 2004 were recorded. Plants were followed through their lifecycle and after four years of no aboveground growth, plants were assumed dead and tags removed from the field.

Stable isotope and conservative tracer data used to estimate uptake of stream water dissolved organic carbon (DOC) through a whole-stream addition of a ¹³C-DOC tracer coupled with laboratory measurements of bioavailability of the tracer and stream water DOC using lability profiling with bioreactors

We performed a whole-stream addition of a ¹³C-DOC tracer and made laboratory measurements of the biological availability of the tracer as well as stream water DOC. The study was performed in October 2002 in a 1.27 km stretch of the third-order White Clay Creek in southeastern Pennsylvania. The tracer was prepared as a cold-water leachate of ¹³C-labeled tulip poplar saplings and it was added to the stream along with sodium bromide, a conservative tracer, over a 2-h period. Stream water samples were collected at 8 downstream stations over an 8-h period, filtered, and analyzed for concentrations of bromide and DOC. DOC was measured by Pt-catalyzed, persulfate oxidation, Br- was analyzed by ion chromatography, and C isotope samples were rotary evaporated, acidified, lyophilized, combusted, and the CO₂ analyzed with an elemental analyzer interfaced with an isotope ratio mass spectrometer. Lability profiling of the ¹³C-DOC tracer and stream water DOC were performed with a series of plug-flow bioreactors of increasing empty-bed contact times with the concentration of biodegradable DOC operationally defined as the difference between the DOC concentrations in the influent and effluent waters of the bioreactors. The bioreactor measurements were performed 2 days after the whole-stream release. Data were analyzed to estimate the uptake of stream water DOC associated with labile and semi-labile fraction of biodegradable DOC. These data have been previously used in a 2008 publication in Freshwater Biology, doi:10.1111/j.1365-2427.2007.01941.x.

Ecohydrology and Ecophysiology intensively measured plots in Watershed 1, Andrews Experimental Forest, 2005-2011

This database was developed to store data for ecophysiology and ecohydrology studies in Watershed 01 (WS01) at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. The data include a combination of continuous sensor measurements (e.g. for soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, and relative humidity data) and repeated sampling (e.g., litterfall, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), rock content of soils). WS01 was clear cut between 1962 and 1966, burned, and replanted to varying degrees of success with Pseudotsuga menziesii, and a set of long-term plots that lie on transects normal to the main stream system was installed in 1962 to monitor plant succession and biomass development (TP073). The plots for these ecohydrological studies were co-located with a subset of TP073 plots to facilitate cross-referencing and cross-analysis of information. The boundaries of the TW006 plots are all at least 5 meters outside of the boundaries of the plant succession and biomass plots so as not to interfere with the long term integrity of those plots. An initial set of eight plots were installed for TW006 in 2004. All of these plots were located near transect #1 of the TP073 plots; i.e. the transect closest to the mouth of the watershed (see http://oregonstate.edu/feel/mapsVideos/transect_diagram.jpg, http://oregonstate.edu/feel/mapsVideos/airshed_base.pdf, and for a “virtual tour” of the watershed that illustrates the plot locations see http://oregonstate.edu/feel/mapsVideos/WS01_3d_spinningWheel2.AVI.MOV). Each of the eight plots (also known as “telemetry plots”) is associated with a bank of solar collectors and batteries that provide power for a network of sensors, and data is transmitted by telemetry via a relay station to the Andrews Headquarters. An additional set of 16 plots was established in 2009 to extend data collection through a broader area of the watershed and to represent the full range of vegetation cover classes. The locations of these was based on a stratified random sampling

Anatuvuk River fire scar thaw depth measurements during the 2008 to 2014 growing season

The Anaktuvuk River Fire occurred in 2007 on the North Slope of Alaska. In 2008, three eddy covariance towers were established at sites represent ing unburned tundra, moderately burned tundra, and severely burned tundra. Several times during the 2008-2014 growing seasons, thaw depth was measured at approximately 70 points near each of these towers . Data presented here are the individual measurements for each site and date.

Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) measurements, relative humidity, and temperature data logged every five minutes from Betula nana and Salix pulchra shrub canopies, summer of 2012 in vicinity of Toolik Lake, Alaska.

This file contains PAR , relative humidity, and temperature data logged every five minutes from within, below, and above Betula nana and Salix pulchra shrub canopies at two locations near Toolik Lake, Alaska during the summer of 2012. The location of the PAR sensor and dataloggers were co-located with the LTER shrub plots (block 1 and 2), also used for the chamber flux and point frame measurements taken this same year. There were two logging sites (block 1 and 2), each of which had five PAR sensors, two for each shrub canopy and one above, as well as three sensors to log relative humidity and temperature. Additional data about the daily instrument output from these sites can be found in the file "ShrubCanopy_DailyLogger".

A/Ci curve parameters measured from shoots harvested at three levels in the canopy from 19 1m x 1m plots dominated by S. pulchra and B. nana shrubs near LTER Shrub plots at Toolik Field Station, AK the summer of 2012.

A/Ci curve parameters and modeled carboxylation, electron transport, and triose-phosphate utilization efficiency rates from shoots clipped from low, mid, and the top of tall, shrub canopies dominated either by Salix pulchra or Betula nana species. Six shoots were harvested from each 1m x 1m plot, two from each level in the canopy. These plots were located near the LTER shrub plots at the Toolik Field Staion, AK for point frame measurements, and all measurements took place the summer of 2012. The species harvested were chosen based on the species present in each plot, thus the species from each segment of the canopy may not be the same. Additional information about each shoot can be found in the "PF_ShootLightcurve_Data" and "PF_ShootHarvest_Data" pages, regarding the light response curves, area, mass, leaf area index, and leaf nitrogen content of each shoot. The file "PF_PercentCover" contains the species cover data for each plot.

Summary of measured and modeled light curve parameters for diffuse, direct, and intermediate light curves for 14 whole-canopy 1mx1m plots sampled near the shrub LTER sites at Toolik Field Station, Alaska, summer 2012.

14 1m x 1m shrub plots were sampled the summer of 2012 under direct and diffuse light conditions. Light response curves were measured under each light condition for each plot using a Li-Cor 6400 to measure net ecosystem exchange (NEP); these measurements were modelled using a saturatingMichaelis-Menton formula. The best fit parameters for those models are contained here (Pmax, K, RE, Eo, and light compensation point) for each individual NEP light response curve (direct, diffuse, and intermediate light conditions) measured with corresponding NDVI , LAI, diffuse light fraction, and average temperature. Sorting variables and curve ID numbers for each curve match the corresponding data in the flux data file.
