Ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) drumming surveys, 1987-2017, Adirondack Long-Term Ecological Monitoring Program Project No. 9 by Adirondack Ecological Center of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Newcomb, New York. Environmental Data Initiative
The objective is to document long-term population trends of ruffed grouse in a northern hardwood ecosystem. The survey area is the Huntington Wildlife Forest, a 6,000 ha field station which receives no hunting pressure. Routes are surveyed starting an hour prior to sunrise on 2-5 mornings each year between April 14 and May 9 (occasionally later), on days when wind and rain are minimal to absent. Counts are standardized relative to weather conditions and timing. Observers count the number of individual ruffed grouse heard drumming (""drummers"") at 32-50 route stations during a 4-minute period. Trends at stations over time as well as overall drummer index are calculated and compared to independent datasets.
Lakes of Missouri Volunteer Program (LMVP) and University of Missouri: Missouri Statewide Lake Assessment Data (MO-SLAP), 1978-2013
The Lakes of Missouri Volunteer Program (LMVP) is funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and coordinated by the School of Natural Resources at the University of Missouri. It was created in 1992 and began with four lakes in the Kansas City area. Since then about 200 volunteers have participated and water samples have been collected on over 50 different lakes around the state. The goals of the LMVP are: 1) to determine the current water quality based on productivity or trophic state of Missouri's lakes, 2) to monitor for changes in water quality over time, and 3) to educate the public about lake ecology and water quality issues. Volunteers take water samples to measure algae, nitrogen, phosphorus, inorganic suspended solids, and measure Secchi transparency in the field. Many lakes have several sample sites. The water samples are analyzed at the University of Missouri-Columbia, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife limnology laboratory. An annual data report is compiled containing the results of the data from all of the public lakes. This report is sent to all interested parties including the volunteers, government agencies and lake associations. The process starts in the spring when an LMVP staff and volunteer meet at the lake. The volunteer is given all of the equipment and trained by the staff on the proper collection and processing procedures.
Seed Production Survey, 1988-2009, Adirondack Long-Term Ecological Monitoring Program Project No. 26 by Adirondack Ecological Center of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Newcomb, New York, USA
The purpose of this project is to 1) estimate number of seeds per unit area in a mature northern hardwood/mixed conifer forest stand and 2) document changes over time in selected tree and shrub seed production. Permanent seed traps were established in 1988 in two forest types. Seed traps (13.9 L [5 gal] capacity buckets) are installed 0.5 m off the ground on two metal stakes in the center of each forested plot. Buckets are open to the tree canopy and have small (< 2cm) holes near the bottom edges for drainage. Fifty collection buckets are placed approximately 30 m (100 feet) apart and distributed along painted grid lines in the Huntington Wildlife Forest Natural Area. Twenty-five plots are northern hardwood upland forest (dominated by sugar maple, American beech and yellow birch with some conifers) and 25 plots are in the mixed hardwood/conifer lakeshore forest type (dominated by red maple, yellow birch, red spruce and eastern hemlock). Tree and shrub seeds are collected annually during two periods: July to November (Fall) and November to July (Spring). The spring and autumn collections are based on tree species’ seed phenology. If a bucket was tipped over due to disturbance by a bear or some other factor, it was censored from the survey for that year. Mice or other seed predators that were physically found/present in buckets also resulted in sample censoring. Animal scat or partly-consumed seeds are not censored, as these may have fallen from the tree canopy during seed predators’ normal activities.
White-tailed Deer Population Study, 1962-2008, Adirondack Long-Term Ecological Monitoring Program by Adirondack Ecological Center of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Newcomb, New York, USA
From 1962-2008, White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were studied at the SUNY ESF Huntington Wildlife Forest (HWF) and adjacent private and public lands in Essex and Hamilton Counties, New York, USA. Social group membership, migration and dispersal, reproductive biology, and many other objectives were studied over the course of the study period. Deer were captured, individually marked with ear tags or streamers, fitted with radio collars (later, GPS collars), and released to be tracked for a variety of research objectives. Deer were located by visual observation, recapture, and/or their location was estimated with ground, air or tower-based radio telemetry. Physical condition of deer was recorded at capture and at subsequent recapture or visual observation select variables were documented (e.g., deer group size; presence of fawns with does). Physiological, demographic, social organization, home range and behavior data were collected. HWF is a no-hunting area but deer could be harvested if they moved to huntable parts of the study area; there was a managed hunt on HWF in 1966-1970 and in 1984 to meet deer density and forest management objectives at that time. Unmarked deer were incorporated into the dataset if they were roadkilled, harvested or otherwise encountered during field activity; these deer did not receive individual identifications but may have been incorporated into select projects.
Continuous Forest Inventory (CFI), 1970-2017, Long-term Forest Property Monitoring by State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, New York, USA
SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) based in Syracuse, New York, maintains a series of Continuous Forest Inventory (CFI) permanent plots on their Forest Properties. ESF has over 700 CFI plots located on 5 different properties, four properties in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York and one property south of Syracuse. Plots cover northern hardwood species including sugar maple, red maple, yellow birch, beech, white ash, red oak, white pine, hemlock, red spruce, and pine/softwood plantations of various species. Data is collected at ten year intervals on each property starting from initial plot establishment. Plot information collected includes: location information, slope, aspect, forest type, cutting history, and photo of plot. Tree information/measurements include (in general, trees greater than 3.6 inches diameter at breast height): tree tag number, species, tree history, diameter at breast height, sawlog height, bole height, total height, crown vigor, crown class, tree location, and tree notes. Data is collected/field checked/edited according to detailed written procedures by ESF professional staff with assistance of students. Data is collected to monitor general forest health, growth rates, mortality, and overall forest metrics. Data is used to calculate standing volumes, stocking of forest trees, carbon stocking in addition to other information. ESF Forest Properties with CFI plots:
University of Kansas Field Station: Cumulative field records of snake species collected by Dr. Henry S. Fitch 1948 - 2003, with a few additional records collected 2004 - 2016. Records contain capture locations, measurements, notes on reproduction, recapture, and growth data. This data package contains individual files for 14 species.
Dr. Henry S. Fitch began his pioneering research on the snake fauna of the Fitch Natural History Reservation and adjacent University of Kansas Field Station in 1948. Fitch remained an active researcher until the early 2000s. For nearly six decades he conducted extensive field work on snakes using capture/recapture techniques, and compiled other biological data as well (e.g., all snakes captured were weighed, measured, and marked with incomplete data collected on reproduction, stomach contents, and recaptures). This research resulted in scores of scientific publications on the ecology of the snakes. Henry S. Fitch died in 2009 and left as a legacy hand-written data sheets with approximately 60,000 capture records. George R. Pisani, a biologist at the University of Kansas and later at the Kansas Biological Survey, collaborated with Fitch on some ecological studies. Beginning about 2005, Pisani began the many-year process of converting the thousands of Fitch’s records of snake captures into an electronic database. This work was funded in part by the Kansas Dept. of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Chickadee Checkoff Program.
Weather and Terrestrial Microclimate Measurements from sites located at Mars Hill University
This project contains data collected from sites located on the campus of Mars Hill University in Mars Hill, NC. Weather data includes measurements of air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation, and photosynthetically active solar radiation. Soil moisture, soil temperature, and air temperature data were measured at two forested locations. At each forested location, eight soil moisture sensors were installed in transects radiating NE, NW, SE, and SW from the datalogger. Sensors were installed approximately 20m and 40m along the transect. Measurements were taken every minute and hourly and daily data values recorded.
