Soil movement across black grama and mesquite ecotone transects in the Jornada Basin, southern New Mexico, USA, 1933-2011

This package contains data from a study that measured long-term soil movement in areas undergoing mesquite invasion on the Jornada Experimental Range from 1933-2011. Data consist of height measurements of soil on two long-term transects established in the Natural Revegetation Exclosure (NatReveg) in 1933 and an exclosure in Pasture 8b in 1935. In 1933, about half of the NatReveg exclosure was covered with mesquite dunes. Grasses dominated the non-dune portion, but mesquite plants were present. Approximately one-third of the NatReveg site exclosure was sprayed with 2,4,5-T herbicide for mesquite control in 1966-68. Additional herbicide treatments were conducted upon the sprayed portion in 1969-72. The 1731-m NatReveg exclosure transect runs north-south through the center of the exclosure and extends 61 m (200ft) beyond the boundary fence on either end. The 457-m Pasture 8b transect is oriented WSW-ENE and was established in an area where mesquite dunes were large and well established. The predominant soils in this exclosure are deep loamy sands. Soil movement was measured by the distance between the soil surface and a notch in 50 cm T-posts located every 15.2 m (50 ft). Transects were measured in 1950 (8b only), 1955 (8b only), every five years from 1980-2000, and most recently in 2011. Most steel posts were re-measured at these intervals, but some were lost due to excavation or burial. These were replaced with a new baseline notch height initiated on the posts. Data correspond to each year of collection, as well as measures (in cm) of soil deposition or deflation during the intervals. This study is complete. For further information, see: Gibbens, R.P., J.M. Tromble, J.T. Hennessy, and M. Cardenas, 1983. "Soil movement in mesquite dunelands and former grasslands of southern New Mexico from 1933 to 1980." Journal of Range Management 36:145-148.

Soil seedbank analysis under experimental drought and delayed monsoon treatments in blue grama and black grama grassland at Sevilleta

This study investigated the question, "Does climate change affect vegetation and seed bank composition in desert grasslands?" The work was done in the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico, USA, in in the Extreme Drought in Grassland Experiment (EDGE). Vegetation and seed bank species composition were recorded in black grama (Bouteloua eriopoda) and blue grama (B. gracilis) grasslands at Sevilleta. At each site, two rainfall manipulations and ambient controls were established in 2013 (n=10). Treatments included extreme drought (-66% rainfall reduction) and delayed monsoon (precipitation captured during July-August and reapplied during September-October). Aboveground species composition was assessed and composite soil samples were collected in 2017, five years after the experiment started. Seed bank composition was evaluated using the seedling emergence method. Rainfall treatments increased aboveground species richness at both sites, and seed bank richness only in the blue grama community. Vegetation cover was reduced by both rainfall manipulations, but seed bank density increased or remained the same compared with controls. In aboveground vegetation, cover of annual and perennial forbs increased, and dominant perennial grasses decreased. In the soil seed bank, species composition was similar among all treatments and was dominated by annual and perennial forbs. The seed bank was more resistant to drought than aboveground vegetation. Because seed banks enhance long-term community stability, their drought resistance plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem processes during and following drought in these grassland communities.

Sevilleta site, station Deep Well, study of plant cover of Bouteloua eriopoda (black grama) in units of percent on a yearly timescale

The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters (Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest) to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets. The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project, including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service, US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal (http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application. Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from Sevilleta (SEV) contains plant cover of Bouteloua eriopoda (black grama) measurements in percent units and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.
