Soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity data from the black sand extended growing season length experiment, 2018 - 2024, hourly.
As a result of climate change, the Rocky Mountain Front Range is experiencing warmer summers and earlier snowmelt. Due to the importance of snow for regulating soil temperature, growing season length, and available moisture in alpine ecosystems, even small shifts in the snow-free period could have large impacts. The focus of the Growing Season Length Experiment is to examine how terrain-related differences in climate exposure influence the way alpine habitats respond to climate change via earlier snowmelt. To simulate how changes in growing season length may affect biotic and abiotic components, NWT LTER researchers established 5 experimental sites each containing a pair 10 x 40m rectangular plots. These blocks include north and south facing aspects, subalpine and alpine tundra meadows in a range of hydrological conditions (e.g. dry meadows, moist meadows, wet meadows). We accelerated snowmelt in one plot of each block by adding chemically inert black sand, while keeping the second plot as an unmanipulated control (black sand was added to these plots after snow had naturally melted). This dataset includes measurements of soil temperature, moisture, and electrical conductivity.
Time-lapse camera (phenocam) imagery of black sand extended growing season length experiment, 2022 - 2023.
As a result of climate change, the Rocky Mountain Front Range is experiencing warmer summers and potentially earlier snowmelt. Due to the importance of snow for regulating soil temperature, growing season length, and available moisture in alpine ecosystems, even small shifts in the snow-free period could have large impacts. The focus of the Black Sand Extended Growing Season Length Experiment is to examine how terrain-related differences in climate exposure influence the way alpine habitats respond to climate change via earlier snowmelt. To simulate how climate exposure may affect plant communities, NWT LTER researchers established 5 experimental sites each containing a pair 10 x 40m rectangular plots. These sites include north and south facing aspects, subalpine and alpine tundra meadows in a range of hydrological conditions (e.g. dry meadows, moist meadows, wet meadows). We accelerated snowmelt in one plot of each block by adding chemically inert black sand, while keeping the second plot as an unmanipulated control; black sand was added to these plots after snow had naturally melted. This dataset includes phenocam images from 2022-2023.
Synthesized Dataset of Length-Weight Regression Coefficients for Delta Fish
This dataset is a compilation of length-weight regression coefficients for fish species commonly found in the freshwater tidal habitats of the San Francisco Estuary. This effort was born out of the Delta Smelt Resiliency Strategy Aquatic Weed Control Action study, which, in order to calculate fish biomass, needed to calculate individual fish weights from their measured lengths. The Aquatic Weed Control study was supported by Interagency Ecological Program through the Endangered Species Act and is included in the Interagency Ecological Program 2017-2019 workplan. Weight is estimated from length using the exponential function W=a\ L^b. These can be calculated using the linear regression of the log-transformed equation (log(W)=log(a)+b log(L)). This dataset provides the species-specific a and b parameters. Associated publication(s) and relevant metadata information are included. Data was obtained either via database (fishbase.us) or peer-reviewed scientific papers.
Little Rock Lake Experiment at North Temperate Lakes LTER: Zooplankton length 1988 - 1998
The Little Rock Acidification Experiment was a joint project involving the USEPA (Duluth Lab), University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, University of Wisconsin-Superior, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Little Rock Lake is a bi-lobed lake in Vilas County, Wisconsin, USA. In 1983 the lake was divided in half by an impermeable curtain and from 1984-1989 the northern basin of the lake was acidified with sulfuric acid in three two-year stages. The target pHs for 1984-5, 1986-7, and 1988-9 were 5.7, 5.2, and 4.7, respectively. Starting in 1990 the lake was allowed to recover naturally with the curtain still in place. Data were collected through 2000. The main objective was to understand the population, community, and ecosystem responses to whole-lake acidification. Funding for this project was provided by the USEPA and NSF. Zooplankton samples are collected from the treatment and reference basins of Little Rock Lake at at two to nine depths using a 30L Schindler Patalas trap (53um mesh). Zooplankton samples are preserved in buffered formalin and archived. Data are summed over sex and stage and integrated volumetrically over the water column to provide a lake-wide estimate of average length of organisms for each species.
Euphausia superba length frequency from zooplankton collected with a 2-m, 700-um net towed from surface to 120 m, aboard Palmer LTER annual cruises off the coast of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, 1993 - 2024.
Euphausia superba standard lengths (SL) were measured at grid stations on the annual LTER cruises along the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). Annual cruises take place between late December to early February, except for the NBP21-13 cruise, which was November and December. Krill were collected with a 2x2 meter, 700um mesh net fitted with a flow meter and towed obliquely to 120m.
Oyster and associated fauna counts and lengths from restored and reference reefs in the coastal bays of Virginia, 2005-2019
This dataset has been superceded by Lusk, B., R. Smith, and M.C.N. Castorani. 2024. Oyster fauna lengths, counts, and biomass from restored and reference reefs in Virginia coastal bays, 2005-2023 ver 1. Environmental Data Initiative. https://doi.org/10.6073/pasta/d68de69f29cee5f737313a07f813f245 (Accessed 2024-02-22). which includes additional years and parameters. Oyster and associated reef fauna counts and lengths were sampled at 16 natural reference reefs and 61 restored shell plant reefs located at 18 sites in the Virginia Coast Reserve. Overfishing and disease decimated oyster reefs in the Virginia Coast Reserve in the 1900s. Reference reefs were defined as remnant reefs that naturally recovered in the early 2000s to develop the pronounced vertical structure and multiple oyster size classes that represent the desired endpoint of restoration efforts. Nearly every year since 2003, The Nature Conservancy and Virginia Marine Resource Commission have constructed oyster reefs in intertidal areas in the VCR. To construct the restored reefs, practitioners applied dredged, fossilized oyster shell to intertidal locations chosen for their bottom stability and accessibility (locations lacked oysters prior to construction). Whelk shell supplemented the oyster shell at 9 of the restored reefs.
Abundance, biomass, and length of seagrass-associated invertebrates in the Virginia coastal lagoons, 2019-2023
These data comprise annual summer estimates of the abundance (counts), biomass (dry mass), and individual lengths of infaunal and epifaunal invertebrates across restored seagrass meadows (eelgrass Zostera marina) of the coastal lagoons of Virginia, USA. Infauna were collected during low tide by hand using cylindrical benthic cores. Epifauna were collected during low tide using cubic weighted throw traps that were sampled with dip nets. Incidentally captured fishes are included in these data. In 2019-2022, 50 sites were sampled, using 3 replicates per sampling method per site. Beginning with 2023 sampling, two additional sites were added that are consistently bare of seagrass (unvegetated seafloor). At sites with patchy areas of seagrass and bare substrate, cores were collected within seagrass only and thus represent seagrass-associated fauna at those sites, rather than a spatially haphazard sample. At the few sites that lack seagrass, cores were collected in bare substrate. All cores were separated by 25 m. Regardless of substrate and seagrass conditions, throw traps were deployed haphazardly and separated by at least 10 m. In the laboratory, invertebrates were first sorted to broad taxonomic groups and later identified to lowest practical taxonomic level and enumerated. Most taxonomic groups were either dried and weighed by taxon or measured as individual length by specimen. Existing data include one table with counts and weights for broad taxonomic groups (2019-2023) and three tables related to lowest practical taxonomic identification (2019-2020), including one for counts and biomass, one for individual lengths, and one for taxonomic information. Data collection began in July 2019 and continues annually in June-July.
Full-length and split homologs of human proteins in the gut microbiome
<p>These files were generated as part of the manuscript "Human xenobiotic metabolism proteins have full-length and split homologs in the gut microbiome" (submitted).</p> <p>The .tar file contains .ipc files that are tables of full-length (full_humcover3.ipc) and split homologs (part_humcover3.ipc) of human proteins in the gut microbiome, organized by alignment coverage threshold. For example, the directory `HumanUPR_0.67_src_20000_70` contains results obtained at a 67% alignment coverage threshold for the bacterial protein, and 70% for the human protein. Note that our pipeline collapses full-length alignments to the same UHGP-90 protein family into a single entry per species, with the number of genomes reported in the column nGenomes. Split homologs are not collapsed because genomic context is used to define them, and this context may differ across individual genomes.</p> <p>These files are in Arrow <a href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/ipc.html#ipc">IPC</a> format, which provides compression and fast I/O for large tables. We recommend reading them using <a href="https://pola.rs/">pola.rs</a> or the <a href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/">R Arrow</a> package. In particular, because the full-length homolog table is large, you may wish to work with it without loading it into memory, which can be accomplished using <a href="https://docs.pola.rs/api/python/dev/reference/api/polars.scan_ipc.html">scan_ipc</a> in pola.rs or <a href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/reference/open_dataset.html">open_dataset</a> in R Arrow.</p> <p>We also provide gzipped .csv format datasets of full-length (pgkb_FH_drugs.csv.gz) and split (pgkb_SH_drugs.csv.gz) homologs, at the default 67% alignment coverage threshold for bacterial and 70% for human proteins, organized by their <a href="https://www.pharmgkb.org/">PharmGKB</a> annotations. For each drug annotated in PharmGKB as being metabolized by a human protein with full-length or split homologs, we provide the human protein(s) responsible, its xenobiotic enzyme class, the bacterial protein homolog(s), length and percent identity of the alignment, and either the specific genome (g, split homologs only) or the number of genomes (nGenomes, full homologs only). Xenobiotic enzyme classes are defined as in Figure 4 of the manuscript, with the additional classes "nucl" (nucleobase-containing metabolic proteins not annotated to any other class), "redox" (oxidoreductases not annotated to any other class), and "other" (all remaining proteins).</p>
Inter- and intra-annual temperature and precipitation variability (1950-2022) across the ranges of non-migratory birds and their association with generation length
While environmental variability is theorized to impact the life history characteristics of organisms, these hypotheses have not been thoroughly tested with empirical data. To fill this gap, we synthesized a global data set of environmental variability metrics and life history characteristics across the ranges of 7,477 non-migratory, non-marine avian species. These data are derived from the ERA5 climate reanalysis, AVONET, BirdTree, and BirdLife databases as well as previously published research. By extracting environmental variability values across individual species' ranges, this data set allows users to evaluate avian species' pace of life in response to environmental change.
Weight, sex, age, beam diameter, antler points and teat length for harvested deer from 1984-2025 in Black Rock Forest, Cornwall, NY.
Data from white-tailed deer harvested within Black Rock Forest, Cornwall, New York are collected annually. Trained staff measure mass, antler beam diameter, and teat length (since 2010), estimate age via dentition, count antler points, and assess sex on all field-dressed deer. Heart girth, measured as chest circumference, was recorded from 1984 to 1998.
SJR Dolphin SCA: Degradation Scores, OL Length and Identifications of Otoliths Collected from Bottlenose Dolphin Stomachs
Otoliths were collected from stomach contents of stranded bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops erebennus) in the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. Otoliths were analyzed by a panel of 3 reviewers to determine the level of otolith degradation that occurred during digestive processes. Otoliths with scores ≤ 3 were measured. Otolith length measurements were used to estimate the size of most species by applying standard regression equations developed from fish species collected from a nearby water system, the Indian River Lagoon, and for one species, equations developed from violet gobies collected from the St. Johns River. These equations enabled estimation of the mass of each prey species in each dolphin’s stomach, then the calculation of their relative proportions of reconstructed mass across all stomachs. For otolith identification purposes, a panel of 4 reviewers assigned each otolith with a family-level and species-level identification. Each identification was given a confidence code ranging from 1 (no confidence) to 4 (certainty). When the average code for all reviewers was < 3, the otolith was considered unidentified. If two of the reviewers agreed with the “weight” reviewer and all gave scores ≥ 3, the score of the outlying reviewer was discarded. Identification was assigned when the average confidence code was ≥ 3. The minimum number of species per dolphin stomach was determined by counting the left and right otoliths for each species separately, using the higher count as the minimum prey number. Unidentified species were counted, and half of their sum was considered the minimum prey number. The frequency of occurrence (%FO, or proportion of stomachs in which a species was detected) and numerical proportion (%N, or proportion of a given species pooled across all stomach samples) of each prey species were then calculated.
Arctic Grayling length, weight and tag data from Arctic LTER Streams project, Toolik Filed Station Alaska, 1985 to 2018
Since 1983, the Streams Project at the Toolik Field Station has monitored physical, chemical, and biological parameters in a 5-km, fourth-order reach of the Kuparuk River near its intersection with the Dalton Highway and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. In 1989, similar studies were begun on a 3.5-km, third-order reach of a second stream, Oksrukuyik Creek. Fish were collected on each river. Station locations, representing kilomter values certain distances from original phosphorus dripper (see method) were noted. 1985 to 2012 long-term tagging file for Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) on the Kuparuk River. All grayling adults and juveniles captured during the field season are measured, weighed, tagged and released. Grayling were tagged originally with a colored tag with a number. In 1993, researchers started pit tagging the grayling. These pit tags can be read with an antenna to track the migration of the grayling throughout the Kuparuk River system. Arctic grayling young-of-the-year (YOY) were caught multiple times during each summer and measured and weighed as well. This file combines the data from the following data sets: Dataset ID Short name 10325 1985-2012_Kuparuk_Grayling_Tags 10327 1986-2012_Kuparuk_YOY 10329 1989-2011_Oksrukuyik_Grayling_Tags 10330 1989-2012_Oksrukuyik_YOY
Fish tagging data (length, weight, tag number) from the Kuparuk, the Sagavanirktok (primarily Oksrukuyik Creek) and the Itkillik (primarily the I-Minus outlet stream) watersheds, 2009 - 2017
Since 2009, the FISHSCAPE Project (grant number 1719267, 1417754, and 0902153), based at Toolik Field Station, has monitored physical, chemical, and biological parameters within three watersheds: The Kuparuk (including Toolik Lake and Toolik outlet stream); The Sagavanirktok (primarily Oksrukuyik Creek, but also including sections of the Ailish and Atigun Rivers and the Galbraith Lakes); and The Itkillik (primarily the I-Minus outlet stream, a tributary that that feeds into the Itkilik River). Target species were primarily Arctic grayling and Lake trout, although Arctic char, Burbot, Dolly varden, round whitefish, and slimey sculpin were also captured. Fish were collected on each river/lake. Coordinates and/or specific station locations were noted. All fish captured during the field season are measured, weighed, tagged (if large enough) and released. If fish were not previously tagged, they were tagged with Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags which can be read with a whole stream antenna to track the migration of the fish, predminately Arctic grayling, throughout the systems.
Standard Lengths and Mean Weights for Prey-base Fishes from Taylor River and Joe Bay Sites, Everglades National Park (FCE), South Florida from January 2000 to April 2004
Prey-base fishes. The small demersal fishes of the coastal wetlands are a keystone element in this ecosystem. They are the primary and secondary consumers of the plants mentioned above and they are the primary food resource for myriad piscine (e.g. game species of fish), reptilian (e.g. juvenile crocodiles) and avian (e.g. wading birds) predators. The community dynamics of these fishes are dictated by hydrologic and hydrographic parameters so they also respond predictably to water management practices. Because they are a bottle-neck in the food web, their abundance and availability dictate the success of higher trophic levels. Fish are sampled in June, September and monthly from November through April at five locations. A 9m2 drop trap designed specifically for this habitat are used to quantify fish use. Nine traps are used at each site.
Multiple Element Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE) - stomatal density and length 2021-2022
Stomatal density and length were measured on leaves of sugar maple (Acer sacharrum Marsh.) and yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis Britton.) trees in New Hampshire at the Bartlett Experimental Forest, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, and Jeffers Brook as part of the Multiple Elementation Limitation in Northern Hardwood Ecosystems (MELNHE) study. Leaves were collected in late July and early August in 2021 and 2022 from the tops of dominant and codominant trees using a shotgun. These measurements were made on 3 leaves from each tree. These data correspond with other foliar trait data collected from the same trees in 2021 and 2022. That EDI package is as follows: Hong, S.D., K.E. Gonzales, C.R. See, and R.D. Yanai. 2021. MELNHE: Foliar Chemistry 2008-2016 in Bartlett, Hubbard Brook, and Jeffers Brook (12 stands) ver 1. Environmental Data Initiative. https://doi.org/10.6073/pasta/b23deb8e1ccf1c1413382bf911c6be19 This data package contains the stomatal density and length derived from the raw images in a separate EDI data package: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-hbr&identifier=321 These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
WDNR Yahara Lakes Fisheries: Fish Lengths and Weights 1987-1998
These data were collected by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) from 1987-1998. Most of these data (1987-1993) precede 1995, the year that the University of Wisconsin NTL-LTER program took over sampling of the Yahara Lakes. However, WDNR data collected from 1997-1998 (unrelated to LTER sampling) is also included. In 1987 a joint project by the WDNR and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Center for Limnology (CFL) was initiated on Lake Mendota. The project involved biomanipulation of fish communities within the lake, which was acheived by stocking game fish species (northern pike and walleye). The goal was to induce a trophic cascade that would improve the water clarity of Lake Mendota. See Lathrop et al. 2002. Stocking piscivores to improve fishing and water clarity: a synthesis of the Lake Mendota biomanipulation project. Freshwater Biology 47, 2410-2424. In collecting these data, the objective was to gather population data and monitor populations to track the progress of the biomanipulation. The data is dominated by an assesssment of the game fishery in Lake Mendota, however other Yahara Lakes and non-game fish species are also represented. A combination of gear types was used to gather the population data including boom shocking, fyke netting, mini-fyke netting, seining, and gill netting. Not every sampling year includes length and weight data from all gear types. The WDNR also carried out randomized, access-point creel surveys to estimate fishing pressure, catch rates, harvest, and exploitation rates. Five data files each include length-weight data, and are organized by the type of gear or method which was used to collect the data: 1) fyke, mini-fyke, and seine netting 2) boom shocking 3) gill netting (1993 only) 4)walleye age as determined by scale and spine analysis (1987 only), and 5) creel survey. The final data file contains creel survey information: number of anglers fishing the shoreline, and number of anglers that started and complete
North Temperate Lakes LTER Zooplankton conversion formulas length to biomass
Formulas for calculating zooplankton biomass based on measured length for species encountered in NTL's northern lakes. Formulas are either based on literature reports or measurements in particular research lakes. The mass unit in the formula is micrograms.
Standard body length of Euphausia superba collected with a 2-m, 700-um net towed from surface to 120 m, collected aboard Palmer LTER annual cruises off the coast of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, 2009 - 2024.
Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, are a critical food-web link between phytoplankton primary production and higher trophic levels, such as whales, penguins, and seals. Krill standard length was measured from LTER zooplankton tows along the western Antarctic Peninsula. Annual cruises take place between late December to early February, except for the NBP21-13 cruise, which was November and December. Length data provides estimates of age-class abundance and recruitment. Climate-induced changes in krill recruitment are an important consideration in the management and modelling of krill populations.
Length of Salpa thompsoni collected with a 2-m, 700-um net towed from surface to 120 m, collected aboard Palmer LTER annual cruises off the coast of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, 2009 - 2024.
Salps (Salpa thompsoni) are conspicuous gelatinous zooplankton capable of rapid population increases, enabling them to respond quickly to unpredictable phytoplankton blooms common in the Antarctic. Body length was measured on salps collected from LTER zooplankton tows along the western Antarctic Peninsula. Annual cruises take place between late December to early February, except for the NBP21-13 cruise, which was November and December. Salps have amongst the highest filtration rates of all zooplankton, and package their waste into large, fast sinking fecal pellets. These pellets provide a mechanism to export carbon fixed in the surface waters into the deep ocean. Since filtration rates and pellet size are positively related to the size of a salp, population estimates of grazing and exported carbon can be determined through length data.
Fish Counts and Lengths in South Bay and Hog Island Bay, Virginia 2012-2018
To study how seagrass restoration affects coastal fish communities over time, we sampled fishes at each site once or twice per year with beach seines (7.6 m wide × 1.8 m tall; 1.5 m deep pocket with 6.4 mm mesh) hauled along 25-m transects in the summer (May or June) and autumn (September or October) from 2012 through 2018. Researchers ceased sampling at the 4 initially unvegetated sites in South Bay after 2015, when these sites were colonized by seagrass, although seining occurred once more at these sites during the autumn of 2017. During each sampling event, we counted, measured (total length), and identified fish to the lowest possible taxon in the field prior to release. All seine hauls occurred during the day and within 3 hours of low tide for logistical reasons (n = 204). Due to methodological changes, after 2018 surveys are recorded in a different dataset VCR22364 "Abundance and Size of Seagrass-Associated Fishes in the Virginia Coastal Lagoons, 2019-xxxx" https://doi.org/10.6073/pasta/400c84b859e81e9a1e5212bccb37b759.
