Indicative distribution map for Ecosystem Functional Group TF1.7 Boreal and temperate fens

This archive contains indicative distribution maps and profiles for TF1.7 Boreal and temperate fens, a ecosystem functional group (EFG, level 3) of the <a href="https://global-ecosystems.org/">IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology</a> (v2.0). Please refer to Keith et al. (2020) for details. The descriptive profiles provide brief summaries of key ecological traits and processes, maps are indicative of global distribution patterns, and are not intended to represent fine-scale patterns. The maps show areas of the world containing major (value of 1, coloured red) or minor occurrences (value of 2, coloured yellow) of each ecosystem functional group. Minor occurrences are areas where an ecosystem functional group is scattered in patches within matrices of other ecosystem functional groups or where they occur in substantial areas, but only within a segment of a larger region. Given bounds of resolution and accuracy of source data, the maps should be used to query which EFG are likely to occur within areas, rather than which occur at particular point locations. Detailed methods and references for the maps are included in the profile (xml format).

Leaf area index (LAI) by plant functional group in moist acidic tussock tundra, at the 2007 Anaktuvuk River fire scar measured in 2017

This file contains leaf area index (LAI) based on biomass measurements from an aboveground pluck in the southern portion of the Anaktuvuk River fire scar, and a nearby unburned site in late July 2017. Vegetation was sampled randomly at 10-m intervals along two 100 meter transects at both the burned and unburned sites. Vegetation was sampled within a 10X40 cm quadrat to the mineral layer, and plant material was sorted into new and old aboveground leaf and woody biomass by species. All samples were dried and weighed, and subsampled leaf material was scanned to determine specific leaf area (centimeterSquaredPerGram biomass) per species, which was then used to transform leaf biomass (gramPerMeterSquared) into the leaf area index for each site.

Biomass totals and root biomass (partitioned by percent of total leaf area) for species, tissue type, and functional group for the Arctic LTER experimental 1981 mesic acidic tussock tundra (MAT81) for the 2000 and 2015 harvests, Toolik Field Station, Alaska.

Whole plant biomass totals and root biomass (partitioned by percent of total leaf area) for species, tissue type, and functional group for the Arctic LTER experimental 1981 mesic acidic tussock tundra (MAT81) for the 2000 and 2015 harvests. Because most of the root biomass could not be identified to species in either 2000 or 2015, the calculation of root biomass and element content for roots not identified to species was estimated by the proportion of those species’ contributions to total leaf area. Specific Leaf Area (SLA = leaf area per gram leaf, centimeter squared per gram) values were available from several previous harvests of this experiment; in the present study, we used measurements from the 1995 harvest (Shaver et al. 2001).

PIE LTER, stable isotope chemistry (carbon, nitrogen and sulfur) for food web analysis of functional groups in the Plum Island Sound Estuary, Massachusetts.

Stable isotopes of primary producers will be compared to stable isotopes of functional groups of organisms at primarily three sites within the estuary that have different dominant sources of organic matter. The three sites are: Lower (IBYC, SO-3, mouth of Plum Island Sound, 2-3 km upstream of the mouth of the estuary), Middle (OTL, PR-10.1, upper Sound, lower Parker, 8-11 km upstream of the mouth of the estuary) and Upper (P2, PR-21.9, upper Parker, above Middle Rd Bridge (22 km upstream of the mouth of the estuary). The Lower site is dominated by marine phytoplankton, the Middle site is dominated by a mixture of salt marsh and phytoplankton and the Upper site is dominated by oligohaline phytoplankton and fresh marsh. Ten functional groups will be sampled at each site (Surface sediment, benthic diatoms, Nereis, mummichog, ribbed mussels, POM, blue mussels, pelagic copepods (Acartia), silversides and soft shell clams (Mya). Marsh, benthic algae and phytoplankton inputs or benthic vs. pelagic pathways will be evident in the isotopic signals of these functional groups. Samples will be collected between the middle and end of August to reflect a growing season using recently produced OM. Samples of 15 – 20 individuals will be pooled for analysis. Some silverside samplings will have 3 different pooled samples for determination of variance. Often times the same species are not collected at each site due to habitat differences (salinity/discharge) so additional species are collected to try to accomplish task of getting functional groups collected.

Proportions of Phytoplankton Functional Groups (PFT) retrieved using a Self-Organizing Map in the North Atlantic

Concentrations of diagnostic pigments are retrieved from satellite data (Chl-a + Rrs at 4 wavelengths + SST) using a SOM trained on a global in-situ HPLC dataset (see El Hourany et al. 2019). Pigments are converted to PFTs using empirical coefficients. Three sets of coefficients are used and the results are averaged (see El Hourany et al. 2024). The PFT data is expressed as the proportion of each group in the total community abundance: <code>Proportion_i = (alpha_i * Pig_i) / sum_j(alpha_j * Pig_j)</code> There are seven PFT groups (diatoms, dinoflagellates, haptophytes, green algae, cryptophytes, pelagophytes, prokaryotes). The satellite input Chl-a data is included as well. It was retrieved from the Globcolour portal (<a href="https://hermes.acri.fr/">https://hermes.acri.fr/</a>) in 2022. The CHL-1 product for case 1 waters is used. It uses the AVW merging method: single-sensor level-2 Chl-a data is merged from multiple sensors (SeaWiFS, MERIS, MODIS-Aqua, VIIRS-NPP/JPSS1, OLCI-A/B). The data spans from 2002 to 2020, at a daily resolution. It is available on a regular latitude/longitude grid, at a resolution of 1/24° (approximately 4 km) in a window of bounds 15°N−55°N ; 82°W−40°W. <h2>Storage</h2> All variables are stored in the same daily file: <code>PFT_SOM-DAP_GLOB_4km_daily/[year]/[month]/PFT_[year][month][day]_GLOB_4.nc</code>. The PFT proportions are stored as percentages (ranging between 0 and 100). Files are NetCDF4, and the metadata follow CF conventions. The PFT variables are stored using linear packing (see <a href="https://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#Linear-Packing">https://nco.sourceforge.net/nco.html#Linear-Packing</a>) as 16-bits unsigned integers (<code>NC_USHORT</code>), with a scale factor of 1.54e-3. This means values are discretized between 0 and ~100.92 (<code>=(2**16 - 2) * 1.54e-3</code>), with a discretization step of 1.54e-3. As for the PFT variables, these values are in percent points. <h2>References</h2> <ul> <li>El Hourany, R., Abboud-Abi Saab, M., Faour, G., Aumont, O., Crépon, M., Thiria, S. “Estimation of secondary phytoplankton pigments from satellite observations using Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs)”, J.

Nematode functional groups in quadrat treatments on canopy gradient plots

Previous studies have suggested that herbivory in forest canopies can influence forest floor processes such as nutrient cycling and decomposition. We studied the response of litter decomposition to a moisture/productivity gradient with manipulations of the effects of canopy herbivory at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, North Carolina. Litterbags containing Quercus rubra L. and Acerrubrum L. litter were placed at three elevations along the gradient and sampled monthly for two years. Microarthropods, nematodes, and litter mass loss responses to the productivity gradient were measured. The relative abundance of Collembola and three suborders of mites (Oribatida, Mesostigmata and Prostigmata) was compared across the gradient. Numbers of nematodes per gram dry weight of litter are reported from litterbags placed in quadrat treatment boxes on canopy gradient sites. Treatments used on quadrat boxes include frass additions (boxes 3,8,13,18,23), thrufall additions (boxes 4,9,14,19,24), controls (boxes 5,10,15,20,25), greenfall exclusion (boxes 2,7,12,17,22) and litterfall exclusion (boxes 1,6,11,16,21). Frass and throughfall treatments were initiated in spring of 1998. See Reynolds 2000.

Indicative distribution map for Ecosystem Functional Group MT1.2 Muddy Shorelines

This archive contains indicative distribution maps and profiles for MT1.2 Muddy Shorelines, a ecosystem functional group (EFG, level 3) of the <a href="https://global-ecosystems.org/">IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology</a> (v2.1). Please refer to Keith et al. (2020) and Keith et al. (2022) for details. The descriptive profiles provide brief summaries of key ecological traits and processes, maps are indicative of global distribution patterns, and are not intended to represent fine-scale patterns. The maps show areas of the world containing major (value of 1, coloured red) or minor occurrences (value of 2, coloured yellow) of each ecosystem functional group. Minor occurrences are areas where an ecosystem functional group is scattered in patches within matrices of other ecosystem functional groups or where they occur in substantial areas, but only within a segment of a larger region. Given bounds of resolution and accuracy of source data, the maps should be used to query which EFG are likely to occur within areas, rather than which occur at particular point locations. Detailed methods and references for the maps are included in the profile (xml format).
