Biomass removal at the initiation of a biodiversity experiment at the Jornada Basin LTER site in 1995
This dataset contains data on vegetation biomass removed from treatment plots during the establishment of a biodiversity experiment at the Jornada Basin LTER site in southern New Mexico, USA. In fall of 1995, various combinations of plant functional groups or species were experimentally removed from 25 x 25 meter plots with the objective to distinguish the differential effects of plant community biomass, functional groups, and biodiversity within functional groups on ecosystem and plant community function. Eight different treatments were established with selective removal of species or functional groups: control (C, no removals); four functional group removal treatments (PG, perennial grass removed; S, shrubs removed; SSh, subshrubs removed; Succ, succulents removed), and three species richness manipulation treatments. Richness manipulations included a simplified treatment (Simp), where only the single most abundant species of each growth form is preserved and all other species in the growth form are removed, a reduced‐Larrea treatment (rL), where the Larrea is assumed to be the dominant and is removed while minority components remain, and a reduced-Prosopsis treatment (rP), where Prosopis rather than Larrea is removed as the shrub dominant. The amount of plant material removed during the establishment of these treatments was recorded for later use as covariate or measure of disturbance. Removed fresh material was weighed in the field by species, then converted to dry mass using a subset of removed plot vegetation that was oven-dried and weighed in the lab. Variables in this file summarize the dry mass of plants removed by growth form (functional group, i.e. shrub, subshrub, perennial grass, succulent), and by total live dry mass, for each plot in the biodiversity experiment. Also provided are masses of dead material collected from plots (same groups as live material removed for each treatment) and total dry mass, live plus dead. Species-level data are available upo
Plant species-level responses to functional group and species removals in biodiversity experiment plots at the Jornada Basin LTER site, 1999
This dataset contains individual species size data in vegetation plots that have had various plant functional groups or species experimentally removed at the Jornada Basin LTER site in southern New Mexico, USA. This data was collected with the objective to distinguish the differential effects of plant community biomass, functional groups, and biodiversity within functional groups on ecosystem and plant community function. To make these distinctions, treatments were established by the selective removal of plant species or functional groups within experimental plots. There are eight treatments: control (C, no removals); four functional group removal treatments (PG, perennial grass removed; S, shrubs removed; SSh, subshrubs removed; Succ, succulents removed), and three species richness manipulation treatments. Richness manipulations included a simplified treatment (Simp), where only the single most abundant species of each growth form is preserved and all other species in the growth form are removed, a reduced‐Larrea treatment (rL), where the Larrea is assumed to be the dominant and is removed while minority components remain, and a reduced-Prosopsis treatment (rP), where Prosopis rather than Larrea is removed as the shrub dominant. In 1999, this pilot study attempted to assess individual species responses of representative individuals in these treatments. Ten randomly selected individuals of eight plant species were measured in each experimental plot, and this dataset reports volumetric data (diameters and height) for each. The study was designed as an individual-based complement to the transect data in EDI dataset knb-lter-jrn.210121001 but was not continued past 1999. This dataset is complete.
Temperature, Salinity, Sound Velocity, Location, Depth, Heading, and Velocity measured aboard the R/V Nanuq for the Northern Gulf of Alaska LTER site, 2020-2021
This dataset describes measurements from a thermosalinograph and navigation device used aboard the R/V Nanuq during cruises in Resurrection Bay and the Gulf of Alaska. Thermosalinograph data includes temperature, salinity, conductivity, and sound speed measurements every five seconds while the instrument was in use. Navigation data describes latitude, longitude, depth, heading, course over ground, and speed over ground. Data are collected on R/V Nanuq using the ship's GPS devices and a Seabird Electronics SBE-45 thermosalinograph (TSG) that samples uncontaminated pumped seawater. Temperature and conductivity data are sampled every 5 seconds and salinity and sound velocity are derived parameters. No data quality control has been applied to this data, so users should be cautious that conductivity, salinity and sound speed dropouts to due bubbles are common when the ship is plowing through large waves. Data are collected by a variety of projects, including from the NSF-funded Northern Gulf of Alaska Long Term Ecological Research (NGA LTER) program, the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (EVOSTC) Gulf Watch Alaska GAK1 project, the UAF Sub-Arctic Oceanography Field Course, the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) glider program, and others.
WSC - Gridded sample points at Wibu field site including yield, soil texture, water table depth, and estimated soil water retention parameters
A variety of data from gridded sampling points at the Wibu field site. The gridded sampling scheme is described in the Point Locations dataset. This dataset includes 2012 and 2013 absolute and normalized yield, soil textural characteristics (organic content, porosity, bulk density, particle size metrics, % sand/silt/clay), a variety of water table depth metrics (mean, percentiles, sum exceedance values, moving averages), and soil water retention parameters estimated using the Rosetta pedotransfer function. It was collected as part of a study of the impacts of water table depth, soil texture, and growing season weather conditions on corn production at the Wibu field site, described in Zipper et al. (in review). The Wibu field site is a commercial agricultural field, which grew corn in the 2012, 2013, and 2014 growing seasons. See Zipper and Loheide (2014) Ag. For. Met. for more information about the field site.
WSC - Water surface elevation (WSE) and water table depth (WTD) from 14 points at the Wibu field site, 2012-2013 growing seasons
Observation wells were installed for the purpose of continuously monitoring the water table level during the 2012 and 2013 growing seasons at the Wibu field site. These data were then used to study the yield response of corn to water table depth, soil texture, and growing season weather conditions (Zipper et al., in prep). The Wibu field site is a commercial agricultural field, which grew corn in the 2012, 2013, and 2014 growing seasons. See Zipper and Loheide (2014) Ag. For. Met. for more information about the field site. The 2012 growing season was characterized by severe drought, and the water table fell below the bottom of most wells in late June/early July.
WSC - Leaf area index (LAI) at various points within Wibu field site, 2012-2014
Leaf area index (LAI) measurements collected at various points within the Wibu field site between 2012-2014. Measurements were collected approximately weekly from plant emergence until appr. 1 month past the onset of senescence. The Wibu field site is a commercial agricultural field, which grew corn in the 2012, 2013, and 2014 growing seasons; therefore, these are all LAI values for corn. See Zipper and Loheide (2014) Ag. For. Met. for more information about the field site and use of the LAI data.

Cuneiform Inscriptions Geographical Site - Assemblage Estimates (CIGS-AE)
<p>The <em>Cuneiform Inscriptions Geographical Site - Assemblage Estimates </em>(CIGS-AE) provides basic overall estimates of and bibliographical references for the approximate number of cuneiform inscriptions derived from individual archaeological locations. In use across the wider Middle East from c. 3,400 BCE until 100 CE, cuneiform is one of the earliest and most extensively documented ancient scripts in world history. The CIGS-AE is a component of the <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4960710">Cuneiform Inscriptions Geographial Site (CIGS)</a> index, a digital geospatial register of archaeological sites with finds of cuneiform inscriptions across Europe, Asia, and Africa.</p> <p>CIGS-AE provides a first comprehensive quantitative overview of the approximate number of cuneiform inscriptions unearthed from known archaeological locations. It does not provide an overview of the entire corpus of cuneiform inscriptions known, as the index disregards all inscriptions with no verifiable archaeological origin, estimated to be between fifteen and twenty per cent of the overall corpus according to the catalogue of the <a href="https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/heatmap">Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative</a>. The present resource then offers a lower threshold for the size of the full cuneiform corpus and a fairly reliable overview of its general distribution. The accompanying bibliography offers a basic set of references for all known archaeological sites with finds of cuneiform inscriptions. This information is intended as a starting point for further study, and should not be considered an exhaustive nor authoritative bibliography.</p> <p>This resource has been prepared by researchers of the <a href="http://lingfil.uu.se/">Department of Linguistics and Philology</a> of <a href="http://uu.se/">Uppsala University</a>. The index is intended as a tool for students and researchers in cuneiform studies and related areas and as an aid to cultural heritage managers and educators in communicating and safeguarding this unique body of world written heritage. The index remains under development and is regularly updated. The authors will very much appreciate notices of any omissions, errors, or inaccuracies. For any inquiries, please contact <a href="https://www.katalog.uu.se/profile/?id=N18-1120">Rune Rattenborg</a> (<a href="mailto:rune.rattenborg@lingfil.uu.se?subject=%5BCIGS-AE%5D%3A">rune.rattenborg@lingfil.uu.se</a>).</p> <p>The version 1.1 index contains 603 entries with a total five fields, including one primary ID, two integer fields for assemblage size and grouping, and two string fields for bibliographical references and notes. Record identifiers are matched with primary IDs in <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4960710">Cuneiform Inscriptions Geographial Site (CIGS)</a> index to allow for geospatial visualisation of quantitative data.

Soil Organic Matter Mechanisms of Stabilization (SOMMOS) - enhanced soil characterization data from 40 National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) sites
Soil organic matter (SOM) is a critical linkage among many ecosystem services that sustain our society and life on Earth. It is the primary energy source for microbes and the principal storehouse of water necessary for plant growth. SOM also stores nutrients for plants and sorbs pollutants that otherwise could contaminate food and water supplies. Soils also help regulate climate by storing carbon that would otherwise be released to the atmosphere and contribute to climate change. The SOMMOS project investigated processes in the soil that protect SOM from being decomposed by microbes, processes that increase its sensitivity to environmental changes, and how changes in climate and land management influence the amount and stability of SOM. The project, which was a collaboration between scientists from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), University of Colorado, University of Michigan, Oregon State University, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and the USDA-Forest Service, took advantage of soil samples collected across NEON, a major NSF investment in environmental monitoring that covers the entire United States. This continental-scale soil sample set was analyzed for a wide array of physical and chemical properties, well beyond those typically measured on such a large-scale sample set, including radiocarbon, extractable metals, organic matter chemistry by pyrolysis-GCMS, liquid extract fluorescence spectroscopy, and more. In addition to this dataset, archived samples are available from the project for sharing with interested researchers.
Continuous stream CO2 and temperature data and sensor calibration grab samples from five NEON sites (CARI, COMO, KING, MART, WALK), August 2021-April 2024.
This package contains: 1) sensor-based measurements of dissolved CO2 concentration and temperature, and 2) dissolved CO2 concentration from grab samples that were used to calibrate the sensor data, collected at five stream sites in the NEON network (CARI- Caribou Creek, AK; COMO- Como Creek, CO; KING- Kings Creek, KS; MART- Martha Creek, WA; and WALK- Walker Branch, TN) between August 2021 - April 2024. The grab sample dataset contains a combination of samples collected by NEON (DP1.20097.001) and additional samples collected by project personnel. All samples were collected using the headspace equilibration method, and dissolved CO2 concentrations were calculated using the 'neonDissGas' R package (https://github.com/NEONScience/NEON-dissolved-gas). The sensor dataset contains CO2 concentrations measured with an eosGP CO2 gas probe, averaged to 15-minute intervals and corrected to align with grab sample concentrations using a site-specific grab versus sensor regression. Due to inaccuracies in the eosGP temperature data, we instead include the temperature data from NEON that was used to convert CO2 between units of ppmv and umol/L (DP1.20053.001 for CARI, KING, MART, and WALK, and data from the multiparameter sonde for COMO). All NEON data used in this data package references the RELEASE-2025 version of each data product (downloaded February 2025).
Soil and litter microclimate data from NEON and LTER Sites Across Eight U.S. Ecoregions (CliMush Project), 2022–2023
Data include soil and litter measurements for moisture, pH, and carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. Samples were collected from 8 different ecoregions, as determined by NEON, at various NEON/LTER and/or other experimental sites. Soil cores and litter samples were taken in the spring and fall of 2022.
Forest structural diversity at NEON sites in the continuous USA that experienced recent moderate disturbance
Disturbances can change the structural diversity of forests through time, which can be measured from three-dimensional data provided by LiDAR. Discrete-return LiDAR was used to measure a suite of 19 structural diversity metrics that describe the height, cover and openness, vegetation density, and internal and external heterogeneity of forest vegetation at NEON base plots. Discrete-return LiDAR point clouds from the NEON Aerial Observation Platform (DP1.30003.001) were downloaded September of 2020 and used to estimate the metrics within 40 x 40 m base plots. Metrics were estimated from base plots at 15 NEON forested sites from provisional LiDAR data available from 2014 to 2020. The workflow that produced the data was developed in the program R.
Carbon Isotope and Ring Width Measurements from Tree Rings of Selected Canopy Species at Six Sites in the Eastern United States
Forest Water Use Efficiency (WUE) is defined as the ratio of carbon uptake per unit water vapor loss via transpiration. Micrometeorological measurements suggest that forest WUE has dramatically increased over the last two decades, in excess of what would be expected from increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Coinciding with observed trends in forest WUE have been marked decreases in acid deposition throughout much of North America and Europe. There is evidence that acid deposition may impact forest WUE, either by altering the availability of nutrients in forest soils or by directly affecting foliar physiology. Changes in WUE could also lead to changes in stream discharge from forested catchments. The hypothesized response of forests to changing levels of acid deposition is not currently considered in the land surface components of global climate models (GCMs). Since carbon dioxide and water vapor are the two most important greenhouse gases, it is vital to accurately model their land-atmosphere exchange. This research uses a catchment-based approach to investigate the effects of changing acid deposition on forest WUE. Tree ring carbon isotopes reconstruct historical WUE time series within six catchments that have been differentially impacted by acid deposition due to distinctions between their underlying bedrock mineralogy and geological histories. The research also capitalizes on experimental treatments that have altered soil biogeochemistry in paired catchment designs (Bear Brook, ME; Hubbard Brook, NH; and Fernow Experimental Forest, WV). Additional watersheds that vary in underlying bedrock chemistry are also used in this research to examine tree-ring WUE time series as natural experiments along a base-cation gradient. These watersheds include Sleepers River, VT; Hubbard Brook, NH; Cone Pond Watershed, NH; and Shenandoah National Park, VA.
