SGS-LTER Historical LTER Soil water - neutron probe: field data (1983-1992) in ungrazed ESA (Ecosystem Stress Area) on the Central Plains Experimental Range, Nunn, Colorado, USA, ARS Study Number 10
This data package was produced by researchers working on the Shortgrass Steppe Long Term Ecological Research (SGS-LTER) Project, administered at Colorado State University. Long-term datasets and background information (proposals, reports, photographs, etc.) on the SGS-LTER project are contained in a comprehensive project collection within the Digital Collections of Colorado (http://digitool.library.colostate.edu/R/?func=collections&collection_id=3429). The data table and associated metadata document, which is generated in Ecological Metadata Language, may be available through other repositories serving the ecological research community and represent components of the larger SGS-LTER project collection. Long-term (1985-1992) dynamics and spatial variations in soil water below the evaporative zone were evaluated for a shortgrass steppe with a low and variable precipitation regime. Each of sandy loam, clay loam, and two sandy clay loam sites compromised a toposequence with upland, midslope, and lowland positions. Soil water was monitored at 15cm intervals providing estimates covering 22.5 to 97.5 cm depths. Soil water throughout the profile was highest in the clay loam and lowest in the sandy loam. However, stored soil water did not vary systematically among slope positions. Additional information and referenced materials can be found: http://hdl.handle.net/10217/82912

Data from: Whether larval amphibians school does not affect the parasite aggregation rule: testing the effects of host spatial heterogeneity in field and experimental studies
Almost all macroparasites show over-dispersed infections within natural host populations such that most parasites are distributed among a few heavily-infected individuals. Despite the importance of parasite aggregation for understanding system stability, the potential for population regulation, and super-spreading events, many questions persist about its underlying drivers. Theoretically, aggregation results from heterogeneity in host exposure, resistance, and tolerance. However, few studies have examined how host spatial arrangement – which likely affects both parasite encounter and density-dependent interactions – influences infection and dispersion, representing a critical gap in our current knowledge regarding the possible drivers of parasite aggregation. Using field data from over 165 ponds and 8,000 hosts, we evaluated how the spatial clustering of amphibian larvae within ponds 1) varied among different amphibian species, and 2), affected the distribution of parasites within the host population using Taylor's Power Law. A complementary mesocosm experiment used field-guided manipulations of the spatial arrangement of larval amphibians to create a gradient in host clustering while controlling host density, thereby testing for spatial effects on both infection success and aggregation by three different trematode species. Our field data indicated that larval amphibians exhibited significant spatial clustering that was well captured by Taylor's Power Law (R2 0.92 to 0.97 for different host species), but the residual variation only weakly correlated with observed patterns of trematode parasite over-dispersion. Correspondingly, experimental manipulation of host clustering had no effects on parasite infection success or the degree of parasite aggregation among cages or mesocosms. Given the importance of parasite over-dispersion for host populations and disease dynamics, we advocate for further investigations of host and parasite spatial aggregation, particularly studies that incorporate and/or control for heterogeneity in exposure and susceptibility.
Data from: Exclusion of invertebrates influences saprotrophic fungal community and wood decay rate in an experimental field study
1. Decomposer communities perform an essential ecosystem function by recycling nutrients. However, the effect of higher trophic levels on microbial decomposer communities and rate of decomposition is poorly understood. We therefore conducted an exclusion experiment to test the effect of invertebrates on fungal decomposer communities in dead wood, repeated at 30 sites in two landscapes, and measured wood density to assess effect on decay rate. 2. Invertebrates were excluded from recently cut logs by cages with a 1 mm mesh net, and fungal communities in caged logs were compared to logs accessible to invertebrates by DNA metabarcoding analyses. Accessible logs included control logs, cage control logs and positive control logs. 3. We found that exclusion of invertebrates had a significant effect on fungal community composition. For example, the wood decay fungi Trametes versicolor and T. ochracea were significantly more abundant in accessible logs than in caged logs. The strongest effect on fungal community composition, however, was attributed to differing baseline conditions in the individual trees. When accounting for these baseline differences, caged logs had significantly higher wood density than control logs after two years, indicating lower rates of wood decay in caged logs. 4. Further studies, spanning several years, are required to fully understand the influence of invertebrates on fungi and wood decay. However, our results indicate that invertebrates influence both the composition of saprotrophic communities in dead wood and their decomposition function, which is vital to forest ecosystems.

Experimental study on the variation of atmospheric magnetic field intensity in dust evets, haze events, rainy days, snowy days and thunderstorms
<p>The simultaneous measurement of vertical magnetic field intensity (<em>B<sub>z</sub></em>), three-dimensional electric field (<em>E<sub>x</sub></em>, <em>E<sub>y</sub></em>, <em>E<sub>z</sub></em>), ambient temperature (<em>T</em>), ambient relative humidity (<em>RH</em>), mass concentration (<em>PM</em><sub>2.5</sub> and <em>PM</em><sub>10</sub>) and three-dimensional wind speed (<em>U<sub>x</sub></em>, <em>U<sub>y</sub></em>, <em>U<sub>z</sub></em>) were conducted at Lanzhou, China and Xi'an, China during haze events, dust events, snowfall events, rainfall events and thunderstorms. The hourly mean value and hourly standard deviation of d<em>B<sub>z</sub>/</em>d<em>t</em> were used to evaluate the disturbance level of atmospheric magnetic field (AMF) during these weather. The hourly mean value of d<em>B<sub>z</sub></em>/d<em>t</em> in dusty days, rainy days, snowy days and thunderstorms varies evidently compared to that in fair weather, which implies that these weather conditions will effectively affect the variation of AMF. Analysis of <em>E<sub>z</sub></em> and <em>U</em><em><sub>xy</sub></em> suggests that the movement of charged particles under the action of horizontal wind will change the average currents in atmosphere and induce a magnetic field, and this induced magnetic field will disturb the variation of AMF. Hence, the induced magnetic fields generated by the movement of charged particles should not be ignored in these complex weather conditions. The analysis of d<em>E<sub>xy</sub></em>/d<em>t</em> shows that the induced magnetic field generated by the change of the electric field can disturb the AMF as well. In addition, hourly standard deviations of d<em>B<sub>z</sub></em>/d<em>t</em> in haze event, snowfall event and thunderstorms are larger than that in fair weather, which means that these events can influence the fluctuation of AMF. The approximate circular motion of charged particles in the horizontal plane under turbulence was discussed to be the main reason for the intense fluctuation of AMF in haze and snowfall events, but the large fluctuation of AMF in thunderstorms maybe attributed to the transient changes of space electric field under lightning.</p>
