Photosynthetically Active Radiation in the Clearcut Site at Harvard Forest 2013
The purpose of these measurements was to capture the light attenuation of the canopy throughout the growing season, which can help in determining leaf area/canopy openness at the site. Measurements were done along a 50-m-long transect (one of the ones used for line-intercept vegetation surveys, on the side of the EC-tower). Eight measurement locations were established along the transect, equidistant, and marked with a bright orange flag. Measurements were taken with a LI-COR LI-191 Line quantum sensor as described below. Before and after measurements along the transect, PAR-readings were taken in an open area (away from canopy cover) either at a log along the access road to the site or up on the fire tower nearby. At each location along the transect, two measurements were taken – one at the ground surface and one at a height of 1.3m (diameter at breast height).
Leaf Area Index every 15 cm of 1m x 1m chamber flux and point frame plots and sites where dataloggers monitored photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) above, within and below Salix pulchra and Betula nana canopies during the growing season at the Toolik Field Station in AK, Summer 2012.
Leaf area index (LAI) measurements were taken with the Delta-T SunScan wand every 15 cm from the ground to above the canopy under both direct and diffuse light. conditions The data includes all outputs from the SunScan wand: time of measurement, transmitted light, spread of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) sensors, beam fraction, and zenith angle. These measurements were taken for 1m x 1m chamber flux and point frame plots sampled in tall Salix pulchra and Betula nana shrub canopies as well as sites monitored remotely by PAR sensors situated above, within, and below tall shrub canopies at the Toolik Field Station in the summer of 2012.
Bonanza Creek LTER: Annual Active Layer Depths from 1972 to Present in the Wickersham Fireline Sites near Fairbanks, Alaska
In June of 1971 the Wickersham fire burned 6313 ha and provided an opportunity to study various fire effects. When wildfire burns through a northern black spruce forest there is usually a subsequent increase in depth of thaw, due to the reduction in the depth of the organic layer. The construction of firelines with heavy machinery involves the complete removal of the organic layer and results in an even greater increase in active layer. This study was designed as a long-term comparison between depth of thaw on firelines, burned and unburned open black spruce forest underlain by ice rich permafrost.
Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) time series from lagoon sites along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, 2018-ongoing
To understand seasonality and production as part of the Beaufort Lagoon Ecosystem Long Term Ecological Research program, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is recorded in situ, starting August 2018 across the Beaufort Sea coast. Spherical quantum sensors measure PAR ~0.5 m above the benthos at underwater mooring locations and cosine sensors measure incident PAR at the surface at a permanent land-based station.
Bonanza Creek LTER: Annual Active Layer Depths at Core Floodplain Sites from 1990 to Present in the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest near Fairbanks, Alaska
Annual thaw depths are measured at the time of maximum thaw at any of the 35 BCEF-LTER sites that have permafrost or intermittent seasonal frost. 1. Wildfire in the black spruce permafrost sites will cause an increase in the active layer thickness and subsidence of the surface layers that may last for up to 25 years. The active layer thickness should return to the pre-fire depths between 25 and 30 years after the fire. 2. Climate warming in interior Alaska may result in an increase in the active layer thickness in black spruce permafrost sites. 3. Fire and climate warming together may result in the elimination of permafrost from some black spruce permafrost sites in interior Alaska. 4. Forest succession on the floodplain of the Tanana River results in a gradual decrease in soil temperature as the organic layer increases with time. The development of a thick feathermoss layer in later stages of succession is especially important in the development of permafrost. Permanent or intermittent permafrost should develop in the older white spruce stages. Black spruce stands on the older terraces should be underlain by permafrost with a shallow active layer. 5. Climate warming will delay the formation of permafrost until the latest stages of forest succession and may eliminate it completely from floodplain stands.
Bonanza Creek LTER: Active Layer Depth or Permafrost Presence for the Regional Site Network
The initial goal (2000-2013) of these data was to define the presence/absence of permafrost within 2.5m of the surface in the regional site network. Efforts were focused mainly on sites where this was not easily deduced. The final subset of sites (2015 � present) are distributed across the 3 ecoregions of the RSN and primarily in older aged wet sites. The permafrost distribution in interior Alaska is discontinuous and dynamic; susceptible to fire and climate disturbances. Therefore, sites included in this long-term monitoring dataset may cease to be monitored as permafrost degrades and disappears or may be monitored again if permafrost is reestablished.
The effects of changing vegetative composition on the abundance, species diversity and activity of birds at the Jornada Basin LTER site, 1997
This data package contains bird abundance data collected in plots that have had various plant functional groups or species experimentally removed at the Jornada Basin LTER site in southern New Mexico, USA. This data was collected in an effort to distinguish the differential effects of plant community biomass, plant community functional groups, and biodiversity within functional groups on plant community function, including effects on animals. To make these distinctions, treatments were established by the selective removal of plant species or functional groups within experimental plots. There are eight treatments: control (C, no removals); four functional group removal treatments (PG, perennial grass removed; S, shrubs removed; SSh, subshrubs removed; Succ, succulents removed), and three species richness manipulation treatments. Richness manipulations included a simplified treatment (Simp), where only the single most abundant species of each growth form is preserved and all other species in the growth form are removed, a reduced‐Larrea treatment (rL), where the Larrea is assumed to be the dominant and is removed while minority components remain, and a reduced-Prosopsis treatment (rP), where Prosopis rather than Larrea is removed as the shrub dominant. Following treatments, bird abundance and habitat preference data was collected in 1997. This data set consists of plot number, treatment type, and time of bird presence by taxa and by habitat and behavior. This study is complete.

Tussock (Eriophorum vaginatum) density, mortality, and rodent-herbivore activity in moist acidic tussock tundra at the site of the 2007 Anaktuvuk River fire and nearby unburned tundra, measured in 2019
This dataset consists of tussock density, mortality rates and causes, and an assesment of rodent-herbivore activity levels in previously burned (2007 Anaktuvuk River fire) and unburned tussock tundra. Eriophourm vaginatum tussocks were counted every meter within a 1 square meter quadrat along three transects. Cause of tussock mortality, as well as level of rodent herbivory was assessed for each tussock, and rodent herbivore activity was assessed for each quadrat. The goal of the project was to examine the impact of post-fire changes in plant community composition and structure on habitat suitability and rodent herbivore activity in response to a large, severe, and unprecedented fire in northern Alaska moist acidic tundra.

Coweeta Synoptic Data from 49 sampling sites in the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin from 2009 to 2010 (active channel width, bankfull width, and channel depth data)
This data was generated as part of synoptic sampling conducted at the Coweeta LTER between June 2009 and May 2010. 49 wadeable streams with low levels of development were sampled throughout the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin in the Southern Appalachians. Active channel width, bankfull width, and channel depth were measured every 5 meters for 150 meters at synoptic stream sites. Effects of riparian vegetative conditions on a suite of channel morphological variables were investigated: active channel width, variability of width within a reach, large wood frequency, mesoscale habitat distributions, median particle size, and percent fines. At each site, a uniform 150 meter section of stream was surveyed. Within each reach active channel width, bankfull channel width, and channel depth were measured every 5 meters. Active channel width was defined as the vegetationless channel bed from left vegetation break to right vegetation break. A whitepaper on the Synoptic field sampling activites can be found at: http://coweeta.uga.edu/publications/white%20paper%20summary%20of%20synoptic%20sampling.pdf

Small mammal ARTS: Orion receiver data for site radiomapping and vole tracking, and scripts and results for localization and activity estimates
<p class="FirstParagraph">This data set accompanies "An Automated Radio-Telemetry System (ARTS) for Monitoring Small Mammals". </p> <p class="FirstParagraph">The behavior of small fossorial mammals, such as voles, is extremely difficult to observe in natural environments. Small mammals were traditionally studied with labor intensive methods such as trapping and recapture or radio telemetry via homing, which require week/months of work and produce static home range estimates.</p> <p class="FirstParagraph">In pursuit of better understanding natural history and behavioral ecology we implemented an automated radio telemetry system (ARTS) to continuously monitor small mammals. We used an isotropic antenna array coupled with broadband receivers to estimate animal positions with nonlinear least squares, nonparameteric, and Bayesian trilateration methods. We then used Lomb-Scargle periodograms to estimate activity patterns of freely-behaving Prairie voles.</p>
