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. The objective of the long-term ANPP study is to monitor long-term net above ground primary production of the shortgrass steppe community by species. There are 6 sites: ridgetop (ridge), midslope (mid), swale, ESA (replicate 1 not 2), Section 25 (SEC 25), and owl-creek (OC). Each site is located in a different landscape position or soil type on the shortgrass steppe and may be grazed or not. Ridgetop, midslope and swale are grazed and are sampled along a catena. Section 25 is grazed and is located in an upload grassland. ESA is an ungrazed upland grassland an is the control from the Ecosystem Stress Area experiment. Owl Creek is ungrazed and is located in the lowland along the owl creek drainage. There are 3 transects with 5 plots in each transect. Plots in the grazed locations are protected by cages. Because this is a monitoring effort, true replicates across the landscape are not

The abundance and diversity of small mammals in shortgrass steppe is strongly influenced by the structure and composition of vegetation. Vegetation structure provides cover from predators and harsh abiotic conditions. Plant species composition affects the types of seeds and herbaceous material available to granivores and herbivores, and influences arthropod populations, which are important prey for the omnivorous species that dominate in shortgrass steppe. Both vegetation structure and plant community composition are sensitive to the availability of precipitation as well as the activity of large mammalian herbivores. In 1999, we began measuring vegetation structure and plant community composition on the three grassland and three shrubland trapping webs where we live-trap small mammals

Rabbits are the most important small-mammal herbivores in shortgrass steppe, and may significant influence the physiognomy and population dynamics of herbaceous plants and woody shrubs. Rabbits also are the most important prey of mammalian carnivores such as coyotes and large raptors such as golden eagles and great horned owls. Two hares (Lepus californicus, L. townsendii) and one cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus audubonii) occur in shortgrass steppe. In 1994, we initiated long-term studies to track changes in relative abundance of rabbits on the Central Plains Experimental Range (CPER). On four nights each year (one night each season, usually on new moon nights in January, April, July, October), we drove a 32-km route consisting of pasture two-track and gravel roads on the CPER.

With the exception of heteromyids, eg kangaroo rats and pocket mice, most small rodents in shortgrass steppe are omnivorous. Depending on season, arthropods (insects and arachnids) make up 40-85% of the diet of grasshopper mice and thirteen-lined ground squirrels, the most widespread rodents in northern shortgrass steppe. Small mammals are among the most important predators of ground-dwelling macroarthropods and herbivorous insects provide a direct resource link between weather and plant production. Understanding temporal variability in the abundance of arthropods is central to determining the mechanisms that drive small rodent populations. At present, there are no long-term studies of arthropods in shortgrass steppe, despite the important role that these taxa play in grassland food w

Small mammals (rabbits, rodents) are integral components of semiarid ecosystems because of their roles as consumers of plants, seeds and arthropods, as soil disturbance agents, and as food for raptors, snakes and mammalian carnivores. Because of their vagility and intermediate trophic position, populations of small mammals may track changes in vegetation and the abiotic environment that may result from shifts in land-use and other anthropogenic disturbances. However, these populations are variable over space and time, and their response to environmental changes may not be immediately apparent given their behavioral flexibility and relatively long life-spans and generation times. Patterns in the distribution and abundance of small mammals thus may simultaneously reflect and affect the

Supporting information of a study for the definition and evaluation of a graphical user interface for housing co-design

This dataset is from a study that intends to define, prototype and test a graphical user interface for a housing co-design system. To define the requirements of the interface, we conducted interviews with professionals of architecture, urbanism and social sciences areas, as well as with housing cooperatives and inhabitants of these institutions. An interface solution was prototyped, tested and refined. Then we conducted a heuristic evaluation and a summative evaluation. Such evaluations involved the testing of a high-fidelity prototype, to receive feedback from UX/UI experts, potential users (inhabitants) and architects. S1_File refers to the interview protocol used with the three groups of interviewees. We share the English and Portuguese versions of the interviews with professionals and the original (Portuguese) and translated versions of the remaining ones since these were conducted in Portuguese. S2_File is a dataset reporting the results of the interviews. Each question includes the answers given and the identification (anonymized) of the interviewees who responded to that question. S3_File describes the usability issues identified by the experts during the heuristic evaluation of the high-fidelity prototype. The first page organizes the issues by severity (left) and priority (right). The remaining pages have a table for each issue, including rows for problem designation, heuristic violated, problem description, solution proposal, severity degree, and an image of the interface pointing to the referred issue. S4_File refers to the results of the heuristic evaluation. It includes the identification of each issue, which expert (anonymized) identified such issue, and the heuristic it violates, with the sum of the times each heuristic was violated at the end of each column. At the right, a table presents the consolidation of issues, organized by priority, with columns identifying the issue, severity level, frequency, and priority. S5_File is the script given to potential users to experiment with the interface during the summative evaluation. This script guides the user through the tasks to perform since the prototype does not have all the features functioning. S6_File refers to the questionnaires applied during the summative evaluation with inhabitants. It includes a preliminary questionnaire, a Single Ease Question (SEQ) questionnaire, a System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire, and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) questionnaire. S7_File refers to the results of the summative evaluation with inhabitants (potential users). <ul> <li>Page A refers to the preliminary questionnaire with demographic information such as age, gender, education, relationship with digital technologies, etc. Each field corresponds with each inhabitant (anonymised) and the sum and percentage. In the middle, a table presents a summary of the consolidation. In the right possible relations are presented. </li> <li>Page B presents the results of the SEQ questionnaire, identifying the ratings each inhabitant (anonymized) gave each task. A summary of such values is at the right. </li> <li>On page C, the result of each rating for the SUS questionnaire given by each inhabitant (anonymized) is shown. At the bottom is the calculation of the SUS score.</li> <li>Page D presents the GUI questionnaire results for each inhabitant (anonymized), with the average and SD identified for each question. A summary of such results is on the right.</li> <li>Page E holds the notes taken by the researchers based on their observations regarding task performance. The information is organized in tables for each step of each task and includes the completeness, attempts, and time taken for each inhabitant (anonymized) to complete such task. Also, the sum, percentage, average, and SD are registered. Next to each task is a table identifying how many participants accomplished the task at the first attempt.</li> <li>Page F refers to the strong and weak aspects identified by the inhabitants. Strong and weak aspects are identified, as well as which inhabitant (anonymized) has identified them. The sum and percentage are also given. At the right, there is a table with the consolidation of results by combining similar answers. </li> </ul> S8_File refers to the results of the discussion with architects after experiencing the interface. Such results relate to the positive and negative aspects that the architects identified in the interface and its usefulness for architecture. The left table identifies the strong and weak aspects that architects (anonymized) identified and the sum and percentage associated with them. The table on the right consolidates such results, with similar responses combined.
