2m Digital Surface Shaded Relief Model From Photogrammetric Data, Niwot Ridge LTER Project Area, Colorado
Citation: Manley, W.F., Parrish, E.G., and Lestak, L.R., 2009, High-Resolution Orthorectified Imagery and Digital Elevation Models for Study of Environmental Change at Niwot Ridge and Green Lakes Valley, Colorado: Niwot Ridge LTER, INSTAAR, University of Colorado at Boulder, digital media. This dataset is a Digital Surface Model (DSM) shaded relief for the Niwot Ridge Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project area at 2 m resolution. The DSM is derived from the first reflective surface that was created from 12 micron digital stereo aerial photography. Elevation points were automatically filtered to represent bare earth conditions and then interpolated to a 2 meter raster dataset. A shaded relief model was then generated. The DSM and shaded relief model covers a total area of 98 km2 and is available in Environmental Systems Research Institute's (ESRI's) GRID format for a total dataset size of 125 MB. They share a UTM zone 13 projection, NAD83 horizontal datum and NAVD88 vertical datum, with FGDC-compliant metadata. The DSM products are available through an unrestricted public license, and can be obtained online or on DVD by request (see Distributor contact information below). Imagery available in this series includes orthorectified aerial photography for 1953, 1972, 1985, 1990, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008. Together, the digital elevation models and imagery will be of interest to land managers, scientists, and others for observation and analysis of natural features and ecosystems. NOTE: This EML metadata file does not contain important geospatial data processing information. Before using any NWT LTER geospatial data read the arcgis metadata XML file in either ISO or FGDC compliant format, using ArcGIS software (ArcCatalog > description), or by viewing the .xml file provided with the geospatial dataset.
2m Digital Terrain Shaded Relief Model Combining LIDAR and Stereo-Enhanced Photogrammetric Data, Niwot Ridge LTER Project Area, Colorado
Citation: Manley, W.F., Parrish, E.G., and Lestak, L.R., 2009, High-Resolution Orthorectified Imagery and Digital Elevation Models for Study of Environmental Change at Niwot Ridge and Green Lakes Valley, Colorado: Niwot Ridge LTER, INSTAAR, University of Colorado at Boulder, digital media. This dataset is a Digital Terrain Shaded Relief Model (DTM) for the Niwot Ridge Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project area at 2 m resolution, and is well suited for visualization of bare-earth terrain. The DTM is derived from the first reflective surface or a Digital Surface Model (DSM) that was created from 12 micron digital stereo aerial photography. Elevation points were both automatically filtered and hand-adjusted to better represent bare earth conditions. Green Lakes Valley LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) point data were appended to the filtered and edited data. Breakline information (ie. ridge tops, lake edges, and streams) was added. A final 2 meter gridded DTM and shaded relief model was then generated. The DTM is useful for terrain analysis and derivation of layers such as slope angle, aspect, shaded relief images, and contours. The DTM and shaded relief model covers a total area of 98 km2 and is available in Environmental Systems Research Institute's (ESRI's) GRID format for a total dataset size of 125 MB. They share a UTM zone 13 projection, NAD83 horizontal datum and NAVD88 vertical datum, with FGDC-compliant metadata.

10m Digital Elevation Model Shaded Relief From National Elevation Dataset, Niwot Ridge LTER Project Area, Colorado
The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a National Elevation Dataset (NED). The NED is a seamless mosaic of best-available elevation data. The 7.5-minute elevation data for the conterminous United States are the primary initial source data. In addition to the availability of complete 7.5-minute data, efficient processing methods were developed to filter production artifacts in the existing data, convert to the NAD83 datum, edge-match, and fill slivers of missing data at quadrangle seams. One of the effects of the NED processing steps is a much-improved base of elevation data for calculating slope and hydrologic derivatives. The specifications for the NED 1 arc second and 1/3 arc second data are: Geographic coordinate system Horizontal datum of NAD83, except for AK which is NAD27 Vertical datum of NAVD88, except for AK which is NAVD29 Z units of meters NOTE: This EML metadata file does not contain important geospatial data processing information.

Digital Terrain Model (DTM) shaded relief from 2005 LiDAR for the Green Lakes Valley, Colorado
This 1m Digital Terrain Model (DTM) shaded relief is derived from first-stop Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) point cloud data from September 2005 for the Green Lakes Valley, near Boulder Colorado. The DTM shaded relief was created from LiDAR point cloud tiles subsampled to 1-meter postings, acquired by the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) project. This data was collected in collaboration between the University of Colorado, Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) and NCALM, which is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The DTM shaded relief has the functionality of a map layer for use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or remote sensing software. Total area imaged is 35 km^2. The LiDAR point cloud data was acquired with an Optech 1233 Airborne Laser Terrain Mapper (ALTM) and mounted in a twin engine Piper Chieftain (N931SA) with Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) at a flying height of 600 m. Data from two GPS (Global Positioning System) ground stations were used for aircraft trajectory determination. The continuous DTM surface was created by mosaicing and then kriging 1 km2 LiDAR point cloud LAS-formated tiles using Golden Software's Surfer 8 Kriging algorithm. Horizontal accuracy and vertical accuracy is unknown. cm RMSE at 1 sigma. The layer is available in GEOTIF format approx. 265 MB of data. It has a UTM zone 13 projection, with a NAD83 horizonal datum and a NAVD88 vertical datum computed using NGS GEOID03 model, with FGDC-compliant metadata. This shaded relief model was also generated. A similar layer, the Digital Surface Model (DSM), is a first-stop elevation layer. A processing report and readme file are included with this data release. The DTM dataset is available through an unrestricted public license. The LiDAR DEMs will be of interest to land managers, scientists, and others for study of topography, ecosystems, and environmental change.

Data from: Evaluating community effects of a keystone ant, Azteca sericeasur, on Inga micheliana leaf litter decomposition in a shaded coffee agro-ecosystem
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> Our research examined the effect of <i>Azteca sericeasur, </i>a keystone arboreal ant,<i> </i>on the decomposition of leaf litter of the shade tree, <i>Inga micheliana, </i>in coffee agro-ecosystems<i>. </i>This interaction is important in understanding the spatial heterogeneity in decomposition. We hypothesized that <i>A. sericeasur </i>could affect leaf litter decomposition by excluding other ants, which could release decomposers, like collembolans, from predation pressure. Determining the relative strengths of these interactions can illuminate the importance of <i>A. sericeasur </i>in decomposition and nutrient cycling processes.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">We assessed the ant and arthropod communities surrounding 10 pairs of trees, where each pair included one shade tree with an established <i>A. sericeasur </i>nest. Tuna baits were used in conjunction with pitfall traps to assess the ant and arthropod community, and litterbags with <i>I. micheliana </i>leaf litter were used to assess decomposition. The species richness of ants did not change in proximity to <i>A. sericeasur </i>nests, though the ant communities were distinct. Abundance of collembola and community composition of other invertebrates did not change with the presence of an <i>A. sericeasur </i>nest and there were no differences in leaf litter decomposition rates. This contradicts past studies that suggests <i>A. sericeasur </i>reduces species richness in its territory. We suggest that other ants may avoid <i>A. sericeasur </i>by moving within and beneath the leaf litter. Our results indicate there is no net effect of <i>A. sericeasur </i>on leaf litter decomposition.</p>

Data from: What makes a leaf tough? Patterns of correlated evolution between leaf toughness traits and demographic rates among 197 shade-tolerant woody species in a neotropical forest
Slow-growing juveniles of shade-tolerant plant species are predicted to have tough leaves because of the high cost of leaf replacement in shade relative to potential carbon gain. We assessed the degree of correlated evolution among eight traits associated with leaf toughness and their relationships with growth and mortality rates of 197 tree and shrub species from the understory of the 50-hectare forest dynamics plot on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Path analysis with phylogenetically independent contrasts revealed that leaves attained material toughness (resistance to fracture per unit fracture area) through increases in tissue density, percent cellulose per unit dry mass, and vein fracture toughness. Lamina density and cellulose content evolved independently, and thus represent different paths to material toughness. Structural toughness (resistance to fracture per unit fracture length) depended on material toughness and lamina thickness. Mortality rates of individuals 1-10 cm in stem diameter were negatively correlated with material toughness and lamina density, but were independent of structural toughness and cell wall fiber contents. Leaf toughness traits were uncorrelated with relative growth rates. These results imply that material toughness enhances resistance to natural enemies, which increases survival and offsets the biomass allocation cost of producing tough leaves in the shaded understory.
