NEON Biorepository Soil Collection (Distributed Periodic) (repackaging of occurrences published by the NEON Biorepository Data Portal)

This collection contains air-dried soil samples collected during periodic soil sampling at NEON terrestrial sites (NEON sample class: sls_bgcSubsampling_in.bgcArchiveID). Soil biogeochemical samples are collected once every 5 years, with three unique sampling locations per plot and ten plots per site. Soil sampling is conducted to a maximum depth of 30 ± 1 cm where possible. When organic (O) and mineral (M) horizons are present within a single profile they are separated prior to analysis and archiving. However, other sub-horizons are not separated. Soil from the O horizon is homogenized and non-soil material is removed by hand (no sieving), whereas soil from the M horizon is homogenized and sieved to 2 mm. Prior to archiving, all soil samples are air-dried, then placed into glass jars and stored at room temperature. See links below for NEON data products that provide various physical, chemical, and biological measurements (pH, moisture, carbon and nitrogen content and stable isotopes, inorganic nitrogen pools and net transformation rates, microbial community composition and biomass) for these same soils. In addition, a more detailed characterization of the dominant soil types at each site, including taxonomy, texture, bulk density, and geochemical properties, occurred during the construction period of NEON through two projects. These data are available in NEON data products Soil physical and chemical properties, distributed initial characterization (DP1.10047.001) and Soil physical and chemical properties, Megapit (DP1.00096.001).

Methane ebullition and diffusion rates, turbulence, water temperature, and water depth data from Falling Creek Reservoir (Virginia, USA) in the ice-free period during 2016-2019

This dataset includes weekly and subweekly methane ebullition and diffusion rates collected from March through November in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 in Falling Creek Reservoir (FCR), a drinking water reservoir owned and managed by the Western Virginia Water Authority and located in Vinton, Virginia, USA. In 2016, ebullition rates were measured at four near-shore sites along a longitudinal gradient in FCR that included four replicate locations within each site, for a total of 16 sites in the reservoir. In 2017, methane emission rates and five different potential environmental driver variables (water temperature, wind speed, pressure, turbulence, primary production) were measured at five longitudinal transects that included four replicate sites per transect, for a total of 20 sites in the reservoir. In 2018, ebullition was measured at the same five longitudinal transects but with two replicate sites per transect, for a total of 10 sites. In 2019, ebullition was only measured at the furthest upstream transect monitored in 2017-2018, with four replicate sites within that transect. The dataset consists of four tables: 1) weekly methane ebullition and diffusion rates and the water depths at each of the 24 unique monitoring sites; 2) 10-minute resolution sediment-water interface and surface water temperatures from 16 sites in 2017; 3) weekly sediment-water interface and surface turbulence at the four transects in 2017; and 4) geographical coordinates of each of the 24 sites in the reservoir.

Pond Area Estimates: Nine Study Regions in Alaska for 3 time periods (1950s, 1978-1982, 1999-2001) using remotely sensed images

The data are ArcGIS shapefiles by USGS quadrangle within 9 study regions: Arctic Coastal Plain, Stevens Village area, Yukon Flats, Minto Flats, Denali Flats, Talkeetna, Innoko Flats, Tetlin Flats, and Copper River Basin. Each shapefile polygon represents the shoreline of a pond as visually interpreted from each georectified remotely sensed image. All images were rectified based on at least 25 control points from 1:63 360 USGS digital raster graphics topographic maps using a second-order polynomial with a RMS error of less than one satellite image pixel (30 meters). All closed-basin ponds greater than 0.2 hectares were visually delineated and manually traced as polygons using ArcGIS. Each pond polygon has an ID and Hectares field representing the pond ID and area in hectares for the time period of the remotely sensed image.

White Spruce NPP: average NPP per tree by age cohort for 4 time periods between 1993 and 2008

This data set is derived from BNZ LTER inventory plots, where DBH of all trees is measured every 3 to 4 years, and increment changes in AG biomass are derived from allometric equations. Data included in this file were obtained from 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004 and 2008 inventories, generating 4 growth increments between 1997 and 2008. Data are reported by age cohort, and include NPP increments (averaged across all trees within each landscape and successional stage) for all trees of known age (determined from coring).

Urban heat island: temperature climate trends in central Arizona-Phoenix: period 1948 to 2007

The question was to what degree are summer minimum temperature climate trends in the latter half of the 20th and early part of the 21st century attributed to local urban development as opposed to global climate change? The approach was to select a range of towns/cities in CA, NV, and AZ for which a pairing of sites from a town/city and a site outside that town/city was possible. Climate records for the period 1948 to 2007 were accessed, and statistical time trends determined for the urban vs. rural locations for towns/cities over a considerable range of population (i.e., from 3.5K to 3.2M). The urban heat island effect increased with the natural log of the population, ranging from a total change in minimum monthly temperatures of ca. 1.5F to over 12F over the population range of 3.5K to 3.2M. These rates of change in the 1948-2007 period overwhelm any background global climate change, with the exception of the rural sites and smaller towns. This study for the first time identified the temperature trends of a range of towns and cities in the Sonoran and Mojave deserts to unravel the impact of urban warming from that of global warming in the contemporary global warming era sometimes called the Anthropocene era. Previous literature investigatin these sites were only up to 1984 or did not address the urban warming contribution. The impact depends on land cover and extent of population development over time.
