Weather station data from three locations at Lake Sunapee (NH, USA), July 2019 – December 2023
Davis weather stations, owned and operated by the Lake Sunapee Protective Association (LSPA), were installed at three locations near the shoreline of Lake Sunapee (NH, USA) in July 2019. These stations collect data at 30-minute intervals for a number of weather and meteorological variables continuously throughout the year. In addition to the measured variables, a number of derived variables are also recorded at the same time intervals. Data are manually downloaded from Davis’s WeatherLink website every quarter, then collated and QAQC’d to remove any obvious outliers or recording errors in the R programming language.

Ecosystem-level Carbon dioxide fluxes in two long-term experimental wet sedge tundra sites near Toolik Lake, AK, ARC LTER 1994.
Ecosystem-level Carbon dioxide fluxes were measured in two long-term experimental wet sedge tundra sites near Toolik Lake, AK. Experimental treatments at each site included factorial nitrogenXphosphorus, greenhouse and shade house and were begun in 1985 (Sag site) or in 1988 (Toolik sites). Fluxes were measured on quadrats that were later sampled for biomass and leaf area.

Treatments included control, nitrogen plus phosphorus amended plots for either 6 or 13 years and vole exclosure plots with or without amends of nitrogen and phosphorus. Note: The added Carbon and Nitrogen values were incorrectly added to the data sheet. A block of data was repeated for all treatments. In version 14 the values were corrected.
Air temperature and humidity, and soil temperature data from the Arctic LTER Moist Non-acidic Tussock Experimental plots (MNT97), Toolik Lake Field Station, Alaska, 1999-2025.
In 1999, a Campbell CR10x data logger was installed in block 2 of the Arctic LTER Toolik Moist Non-acidic Tussock Experimental plots(MNT97). The plots are located on a hillside near Toolik Lake (68 38' N, 149 36'W). Air temperature and relative humidity were measured at 3 meters (control), and inside the greenhouse, and fertilized greenhouse. Soil temperatures were measured with thermocouples placed in control, fertilized, greenhouse, and fertilized-greenhouse plots.
A multi-year DAILY weather file for the Toolik Field Station at Toolik Lake, Alaska starting 1988 to present.

Meteorological data collected on Toolik Lake during the ice free season for 2014-2020, Arctic LTER, Toolik Research Station, Alaska
File describing the meteorological conditions on Toolik Lake (named the Toolik Lake Climate station), adjacent to the Toolik Field Research Station (68 38'N, 149 36'W). This is a floating climate station and should not be confused with the Toolik Field Station Climate site (TFS Climate Station or Met Station) which is a terrestrial station (located on land). Note that this land station has been called the "Toolik Main Climate Station", and the station on the lake is located where the main lake sampling site is located so it has also been called the Toolik Lake Main Climate Station. Measurements include air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and radiation. Note: There are no discharge data for 2013 because of equipment malfunction.

Above ground plant, belowground stem and root biomass was measured in moist acidic tussock tundra experimental sites established in 2006 by the Arctic Long-term Ecological Research site (ARC-LTER. Control plots and plots amended with three different levels of nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P), F10 (10 g/m2 N and 5 g/m2 P); F5 (5 g/m2 N and 2.5 g/m2 P); F2 (2 g/m2 N and 1 g/m2 P), were sampled.

High-frequency, long-term measurements of water quality and chlorophyll in the Tempe Town Lake, Tempe, Arizona, USA, ongoing since 2018
Constructed in 1997, the Tempe Town Lake is a small reservoir that transforms a section of the typically-dry Salt River bed into a 224-acre lake in the heart of Tempe, Arizona. To accommodate the river when it flows, the lake features hydraulically-operated steel gates that allow water to pass through the system unimpeded. The lake has been a remarkable success as a community amenity and as a driver of economic growth in the area around the lake. The lake provides an ideal model system for the many artificial lakes constructed in arid-land cities owing to management decisions, such as draining, that affect their operation and ecology. At the same time, dramatic shifts in hydrology and chemistry when the lake is transformed to a flowing river and back into a Lake during and after floods, provide opportunities to study the system's dynamic evolution to new limnological steady states. The CAP LTER began measuring water quality, including temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) in the lake starting 2005. Initially, these data were collected through a mix of hand-held meters and analyses of water samples collected during regular visits to the lake (e.g., see [knb-lter-cap.630](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-cap&identifier=630)). In summer 2018, the CAP LTER installed a *in situ* datasonde to measure water quality, including optical dissolved organic carbon characteristics, at high temporal resolution (~ 30 minutes). After a brief period during which data were collected both with the datasonde, and by hand-held meters and analyses of water samples, the project transitioned to collecting data exclusively with the datasonde. The data presented here reflect readings captured by the datasone.
Herb Survey: Effect of Burning Patterns on Vegetation in the Fish Lake Burn Compartments
This study examines the effects of long-term prescribed burning treatments on vegetation structure and composition, productivity, and nutrient cycling in upland oak savanna and woodland vegetation. The basis for the study is an ongoing, experimental prescribed burning program begun in 1964 at Cedar Creek, and a similar program operating since 1962 on the adjacent Helen Allison Savanna property (owned by The Nature Conservancy). These prescribed burning programs are designed to subject upland oak communities (and some old fields) to different burn frequencies and patterns of burning, with the ultimate objectives of 1) restoring and maintaining the historically important savanna and open woodland vegetation, and 2) providing information about the effects of different burning patterns on vegetation structure and composition. This study addresses the latter of these two purposes and expands on it by also investigating possible influences of fire on resource availability (nutrients, water, and light) and net primary productivity. This study represents a continuation and expansion of experiments 015 and 094.
