Sediment organic matter at two stations in West Falmouth Harbor between 2007 and 2016
West Falmouth Harbor (West Falmouth, MA, USA) has been experiencing a dramatic increase in nitrogen loading from an upgradient municipal wastewater treatment facility since the early 2000’s. As part of a long-term study into the effects of this nitrogen enrichment, we have measured multiple biogeochemical processes at two locations within the harbor at either end of the eutrophication gradient - one in the well-flushed outer harbor (OH) and one in the inner basin closer to the dominant groundwater N source (Snug Harbor, SH). Samples of the top 4cm of the sediment profile were taken each year and analyzed for organic matter content via loss on ignition in the top 1cm and the sediment from 3-4cm deep. In a subset of years, intermediate depths were quantified, as well as samples below 4cm. Note, calculations for loss on ignition do not account for the weight of salt from porewater dried with the samples. A separate analysis found that salt accounts for between 3 and 19% of the dry weight of the sediment, depending on porosity. A calibration was done with percent carbon in 2009, showing a tight linear correlation between carbon content and organic matter across the entire site (%LOI = 2.71*%C + 0.2471).
Sevilleta Field Station Meteorological Network (SevMET): High frequency measurements from the West Mesa Meteorological Station (WSMS), 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 Tule 222 Well Meteorological Station (WSMS). Phenocam images can be accessed through the PhenoCam Network at: https://phenocam.nau.edu/webcam/sites/sevmetwsms/.
Nitrate and Salinity sampled in West Falmouth Harbor during the wintertime between 2011 and 2024
West Falmouth Harbor (West Falmouth, MA, USA) has been experiencing a dramatic increase in nitrogen loading from an upgradient municipal wastewater treatment facility since the early 2000's. As part of a long-term study into the effects of this nitrogen enrichment, we have measured nitrate concentrations and salinity in water samples collected during the winter months (January, February, March) from the surface waters of the two basins with groundwater inputs impacted by nitrate from the contaminated aquifer. We use these in an open water mixing model to calculate the spatially averaged groundwater nitrate concentration in our manuscript, which we use to calculate the total nitrogen loading to these two basins. This manuscript can be found at DOI: 10.1007/s12237-025-01630-0
Groundwater nitrate concentrations in wells located at the shoreline of West Falmouth Harbor from 2006 to 2023
West Falmouth Harbor (West Falmouth, MA, USA) has been experiencing a dramatic increase in nitrogen loading from an upgradient municipal wastewater treatment facility since the early 2000's. As part of a long-term study into the effects of this nitrogen enrichment, we have been measuring groundwater chemistry in wells installed along the shoreline of the harbor to monitor the spatial and temporal patterns in N loading. Water samples were collected approximately annually from 2006 through 2009, and less frequently in subsequent years, and processed for nitrate + nitrite. Full analysis details are available in Hayn et al. 2025 in Estuaries and Coasts (doi: 10.1007/s12237-025-01630-0).

Mammalian herbivores restrict the altitudinal range limits of three alpine grass species (transplant and herbivore exclusion experiment and demographic data from natural populations), West Elk Mountains, Colorado, USA 2015-2018
Though rarely experimentally tested, biotic interactions have long been hypothesized to limit low-elevation range boundaries of species. We tested the effects of herbivory on three alpine-restricted plant species by transplanting plants below (novel), at the edge (limit), or in the center (core) of their current elevational range and factorially fencing-out above- and belowground mammals in the West Elk Mountains, Colorado, USA from 2015-2018. Herbivore damage was greater in range limit and novel habitats than in range cores. Exclosures increased plant biomass and reproduction more in novel habitats than in range cores, suggesting demographic costs of novel interactions with herbivores. We then used demographic models to project population growth rates, which increased 5-20% more under herbivore exclosure at range limit and novel sites than in core habitats. Our results identify mammalian herbivores as key drivers of the low-elevation range limits of alpine plants and indicate that upward encroachment of herbivores could trigger local extinctions by depressing plant population growth.
Gastropod abundance at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, Watershed 1 and West of Watershed 6, 1997-2006 (Reformatted to a Darwin Core Archive)
This data package is formatted as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A, event core). For more information on Darwin Core see https://www.tdwg.org/standards/dwc/. This Level 2 data package was derived from the Level 1 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/edi/263/2, which was derived from the Level 0 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/knb-lter-hbr/126/4. The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0 data package and is included for context: Snail and slug abundance were measured for a 10 year period between 1997 - 2006 at three elevations on Watershed 1 as well as in a reference area west of Watershed 6. Watershed 1 received calcium additions as wollastonite (CaSiO3) during the study period. This data set includes counts of snails and and slugs for the entire study period. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Soil Acid-Base Properties and Microbial Activity, Watershed 1 and West of Watershed 6 (2015-2016)
In summer 2015 and spring 2016, researchers collected soils from the CaSiO3-enriched watershed at Hubbard Brook (W1) and from a nearby site west of the reference watershed at Hubbard Brook (W6). These soils were sampled throughout the hardwood zone of each watershed, and the sampling scheme explicitly examined pit-and-mound microtopographic gradients. These soils were analyzed for acid-base properties, net and gross N cycling rates, microbial biomass, and C cycling rates. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the US Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
