Species interactions during succession in the western Cascade Range of Oregon, 1990 to present
The factors that contribute to plant species establishment and decline following disturbance determine the rates and patterns of successional change of a system. In this long-term field experiment, we test the commonly held assumption that competition for space or resources by dominant species determines the outcome of succession. Specifically, we examine the population- and community-level consequences of removing one or more potentially dominant species from the post-disturbance community after clearcut logging and burning of a mature/old-growth Douglas-fir forest. Experimental treatments include: (1) removal of early-seral annual, Senecio sylvaticus, or perennial, Epilobium angustifolium—or both—to test the influences of these early-seral dominants on subsequent community development; (2) removal of all species except Senecio or Epilobium, to test whether the decline of these early-seral dominants is driven by competitive displacement; or (3) removal of shade-tolerant forest species that dominate subsequent stages of succession—Rubus ursinus or Berberis nervosa plus Gaultheria shallon—to test the influences of these long-lived perennials on understory development. The experiment is a randomized block design comprising eight removal treatments plus a control replicated in each of 25 blocks. Removal (reduction in competition) is achieved by removing seedlings or vegetative stems annually from a treatment area of 2.5 x 2.5 m. Sample plots (1 x 1 m) centered within these are used to estimate cover of all vascular plant species and, for the first 8 yr of the experiment, stem density and height, facilitating estimates of above-ground biomass. Pre-harvest data were collected in 1990, logging/burning occurred in 1991, and removal treatments and post-treatment sampling were initiated in 1992. Six of the nine experimental treatments were terminated between 1996 and 1998, with loss of early-seral Senecio and Epilobium from the system. The remaining three treatments (removal
Tree Census Data of Tropical Dry Forest Succession in Permanent Plots at Palo Verde National Park, Costa Rica (1999–2004), Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS)
This data package contains tree census data from eight permanent forest plots established in 1999 across four successional sites within the tropical dry forest of Palo Verde National Park, Guanacaste, Costa Rica (10°21’N, 85°21’W). The plots were established to study forest structure, composition, and successional dynamics under different disturbance histories in the lowland dry forest ecosystem of northwestern Costa Rica. Each site represents a distinct successional stage, ranging from an early grass-dominated field (Jaragua) to an older partially disturbed remnant forest stand (Varillal). Two permanent 50×50 m plots were established at each site and subdivided into 10×10 m subplots. All woody stems with diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 10 cm were tagged, identified to species, and spatially referenced using X–Y coordinates within each plot. For multi-stemmed individuals, all stems meeting the diameter threshold were measured separately. Tree diameter, condition, and taxonomic identification were recorded during four measurement campaigns in 1999, 2001, 2002, and 2004. The dataset includes species identity, DBH, measurement year, individual condition, and subplot coordinates for each stem. These data provide a baseline for understanding forest regeneration, mortality, recruitment, and species composition changes in tropical dry forest succession under varying land-use histories. The dataset represents the historical component of an ongoing long-term monitoring program of forest succession conducted by the Organization for Tropical Studies at Palo Verde National Park, led, developed and supported by Eugenio González since its establishment in 1999.
Plant succession and biomass dynamics following logging and burning in Watersheds 1 and 3, Andrews Experimental Forest, 1962 to Present
Watersheds 1 and 3 in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest have a long history of hydrologic, geomorphic, and ecological study. Long-term successional studies in the two watersheds are unprecedented in their scope and duration (1962 to present), spanning more than 50 years of post-logging measurements. To date, studies have focused on understory responses to logging and burning, early stand developmental processes (tree growth and mortality), and understory responses to canopy closure. Understory sampling was initiated in 1962, prior to harvest, and includes approximately 190, 2 x 2 m permanent understory plots. Measurements include estimates of ground-surface conditions and abundance (cover and biomass) of herbaceous, shrub, and tree species. After broadcast burning (1963 in WS3, 1966 in WS1) plots were sampled annually through 1972/1973, but less frequently thereafter (every 2-6 years). Studies of early stand development were initiated in 1979/1980, with sample plots collocated with the understory plots. In each of approximately 190, 250 m2 tree plots, all conifer and hardwood stems greater than or equal to 1.4 m tall are tagged, measured for diameter, and assessed for status (live or dead, including the cause of mortality). Both watersheds experienced recent snow-related windthrow (2019, 2020) and parts of WS1 burned in 2020 during the Holiday Farm Fire, adding complexity to the structure and composition of the understory and overstory communities.
Succession in abandoned fields: Chronosequence data verified by monitoring of semi-permanent plots - Dataset underlying paper
<p>In task 3.1 of the WILDCARD project (www.wildcard-project.eu), we performed the analyses to identify the similarity between successional patterns in permanent plots and chronosequences on abandoned fields. This data is needed to know the accuracy of a chronosequence approach to reveal general successional vegetation pattens compared to the results obtained from semi-permanent plots. Raw data was provided by external collaborators. Results can be applied to other types of successional studies and restoratin projects, they verified the reliability of chronosequence approach.

Long-term studies of secondary succession and community assembly in the prairie-forest ecotone of eastern Kansas, Hay meadow restoration experiment
Local and regional-scale processes interact to govern the assembly, diversity and functioning of ecological communities. Evaluating the interplay of these differently-scaled processes in the regulation of ecological systems is a challenging problem, but is crucial towards understanding and predicting the potential effects of accelerated human activity on biological diversity and ecosystem sustainability. Since 2000, two long-term field experiments have been underway in grasslands of eastern Kansas to investigate the interplay of soil resource availability, species interactions and regional processes governing plant secondary succession, community assembly, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning. Both experiments involve manipulations of soil nutrients in permanent grassland study plots and employ multi-species seed addition treatments to evaluate the contribution of dispersal limitation and regional constraints on local species pools to the regulation of plant community dynamics. Hay meadow restoration experiment, previously funded by USDA, was established in 2000 in a section of the field that was left unplowed at the start of the experiment. Thus Experiment 2 was initiated in the context of secondary succession on recently abandoned cool-season hayfield where hay grass species were dominant at the start of the study. In this experiment we have been monitoring plant community change annually since 2001 in response to two aspects of hay management important in our area: annual fertilization and annual haying. The experimental design involves factorial manipulations of nutrient supply (two levels of NPK fertilization), annual haying (two levels: hayed; not hayed) and propagule input achieved by adding seeds of 41 native prairie species to half of the plots. Experiment 2 parallels Experiment 1 with manipulations of soil resources and species pools, but does so in the contexts of hay management and native prairie hay meadow restoration.
UCSB SONGS Mitigation Monitoring: Wetland Performance Standard - Plant Reproductive Success

Monitoring began in 2012.
Plant aboveground biomass data: Long-Term Nitrogen Deposition During Grassland Succession
The purpose of this experiment is to measure how initially disturbing an area and adding nitrogen over a long time will affect the number of species, the type of species present, the amount of annual growth, and the change from year to year in the growth of each species in a plant community which is also relieved of grazing by large and small mammals. This experiment is conducted within fields (A, B, and C) which were initially low in soil nutrients. The ground was disturbed by thoroughly disking the area prior to establishment of the experiment. There are 8 different levels of nitrogen addition with other nutrients added to ensure that nitrogen remains the limiting nutrient, and a control which receives no nutrients. Nitrogen fertilizer (NH4NO3) is applied twice per year, once in early May and once in late June. There are six replicates of each treatment per field. The treatments were randomly assigned to plots of size 4 by 4 meters. The plots are in 6 plot by 9 plot grids with 1 meter aisles between plots. The plot grids are enclosed by a fence to keep out mammalian herbivores. Gophers are trapped and removed as they appear. In the spring of 1992, subexperiments E097 and E098 were established. E097 is in fields A and C where randomly selected plots within each treatment no longer receive fertilizer. E098 is in field B where randomly selected plots within each treatment are burned. Note that the design of E002 is similar to E001 except E002 was thoroughly disked prior to establishment.
Adelie penguin reproduction success, 1991-2024
The fundamental long-term objective of the seabird component of the Palmer LTER (PAL) has been to identify and understand the mechanistic processes that regulate the mean fitness (population growth rate) of regional penguin populations. Two hypotheses have guided this research, with one suggesting that population mean fitness is best explained by changes in regional krill biomass, and the other proposing that long-term changes in sea ice affects mean fitness by tipping the balance in favor of one species over another in accordance with species-specific evolved life history affinities to sea ice. Although these hypotheses are not mutually exclusive, current evidence in the PAL region tends to favor the latter over the former. Since the inception of PAL, Adélie penguin populations have effectively collapsed, while those of gentoo and chinstrap penguins have increased dramatically, trends that are spatially and temporally coherent with decreasing regional sea ice duration. Adélie penguins are an ice-obligate polar species whose life history is intimately linked to the presence of sea ice, while chinstrap and gentoo penguins are ice-intolerant species whose life histories evolved in the sub-Antarctic, where sea ice is a less permanent feature of the marine ecosystem. In contrast, although krill constitute the most important component of the summer diets by mass of these three penguin species, changes in PAL krill abundances have exhibited no long-term trends, and thus fail to explain the divergent patterns in penguin populations evident in our time series. No lay dates were recorded during the 2020-2021 season due to a late start to the field season due to COVID. No data collected during the 2021-2022 season due to the Palmer Station Pier Build.

Supplementary material for "Long-term trends of reproductive success of black grouse Lyrurus tetrix in the southern Swiss Alps in relation to changes in climate and land use"
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>Breeding success of an Alpine black grouse <em>Lyrurus tetrix</em> population in southern Switzerland was monitored from 1981 to 2020. This long-term dataset allows exploring relationships of reproductive rates with climate and habitat, which have shown marked changes during this period. Over the 40 years, the average elevation of black grouse breeding sites increased by around 100 m in Central/Southern Ticino but showed only a slight increase in Northern Ticino, where black grouse occur at higher elevations. Average reproductive rates in Northern Ticino remained constant throughout the study period but declined in Central/Southern Ticino. Relationships between reproductive success and weather as well as habitat variables were analysed with a multiple regression model. Temperature during the early chick-rearing phase and the time of egg-laying was positively correlated with reproductive rate. Correlations between reproductive rates and precipitation were less clear, and only small proportions of the variance in reproductive rates could be explained by precipitation. Brush forest explained the greatest amount of variation in reproductive rate (6.2%). Forest, alpine agricultural areas, and unproductive vegetation all showed a positive relationship with reproductive rate, but the proportion of the variance explained was small. Year (5.1%) and its interaction with region (2.3%) explained considerable amounts of the variance. While in Northern Ticino reproductive success did not show a negative trend when correcting for weather and habitat changes, there remained a negative trend over the years in Central/Southern Ticino. Despite the positive correlations of reproductive rate with temperature, increasing temperatures do not appear to have improved reproductive success, likely as a result of habitat changes that forced black grouse towards higher elevations. Changes in reproductive success were limited to the southern region, indicating deteriorating conditions at the edge of the distribution range.</p> <p> </p>
Data from: Lianas decelerate tropical forest thinning during succession
<p>The well-established pattern of forest thinning during succession predicts an<br> increase in mean tree biomass with decreasing tree density. The forest thinning<br> pattern is commonly assumed to be driven solely by tree-tree competition. The<br> presence of non-tree competitors could alter thinning trajectories, thus<br> altering the rate of forest succession and carbon uptake. We used a large-scale<br> liana removal experiment over 7 years in a 60-to-70-year-old Panamanian forest<br> to test the hypothesis that lianas reduce the rate of forest thinning during<br> succession. We found that lianas slowed forest thinning by reducing tree growth,<br> not by altering tree recruitment or mortality. Without lianas, trees grew and<br> presumably competed more, ultimately reducing tree density while increasing mean<br> tree biomass. Our findings challenge the assumption that forest thinning is<br> driven solely by tree-tree interactions; instead, they demonstrate that<br> competition from other growth forms, such as lianas, slow forest thinning and<br> ultimately delay forest succession.<br> </p>

Data from: Reproductive success of the wood warbler Phylloscopus sibilatrix varies across Europe
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>Differences in population trends across a species’ breeding range are ultimately linked to variation in demographic rates. In small songbirds, demographic rates related to fecundity typically have strong effects on population trends. Populations of a forest songbird, the wood warbler <em>Phylloscopus sibilatrix</em>, have been declining in many but not all regions of the European breeding range. We investigated if clutch size, hatching rate, nest survival, and number of fledglings vary across Europe, and if nest survival is related to differences in the regionally dominant nest predator class (birds vs. mammals). From 2009 to 2020, we monitored 1896 nests and used cameras at a subsample of 645 nests in six study regions: the United Kingdom (mid-Wales, Dartmoor, New Forest), Germany (Hessen), Switzerland (Jura mountains), and Poland (Białowieża National Park). Number of fledglings was lowest in New Forest (1.43±CI 0.23), intermediate in Jura (2.41±0.31) and Białowieża (2.26±0.24), and highest in mid-Wales (3.02±0.48) and Dartmoor (2.92±0.32). The reason for low reproductive success in New Forest, Jura, and Białowieża was low nest survival, and large clutch sizes in Białowieża did not compensate for high nest losses. High reproductive success in mid-Wales and Dartmoor was due to high nest survival and large clutch sizes. Overall predation rates were similar everywhere despite variation between the regions in the dominant nest predator class. Unsuccessful nests in mid-Wales were mainly predated by birds, in Dartmoor, New Forest, Hessen, and Jura similarly by birds and mammals, and in Białowieża exclusively by mammals. Regional reproductive success does not match the population trends recently reported for the wood warbler in the six study regions (i.e., high reproduction ≠ positive trend). Annual survival may be a decisive factor, but it is difficult to quantify for a nomadic species such as the wood warbler that rarely returns to the same breeding locations.</p>
Supplementary material for "Demographic assessment of reintroduced bearded vultures in the Alps: success in the core, challenges in the periphery"
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <ol> <li> Regular assessment of reintroduced populations is essential to guide management and provide lessons for other reintroduction projects. Bearded vulture <em>Gypaetus barbatus</em> reintroduction in the Alps began in 1986 with the release of the first fledglings, the first successful reproduction was recorded in 1997, and the population has grown steadily since. A previous assessment suggested that no further releases would be required to establish a self-sustaining population from a demographic point of view. However, this conclusion was based on a small sample size and spatially homogeneous demographic rates of released individuals, which may differ from and be spatially variable among wild-hatched individuals.</li> <li>Using longitudinal data and breeding site survey data, we constructed an integrated population model to examine the demography of the entire Alpine population, spatially stratified into a core and a periphery. We performed retrospective population analyses to identify demographic reasons of spatial differences in population growth, and conducted population viability analyses to assess the impact of future threats and reintroduction options.</li> <li>In 2021, an estimated 173 (CRI: 149-199) females were present in the Alps, of which 65 (CRI: 63-67) were breeders. Adult survival and productivity were higher in the core than in the periphery, so the population grew more strongly in the core than in the periphery. Differences in adult survival contributed most to the differences in population growth between the two areas.</li> <li>The population viability analysis predicts that the Alpine population will double in 10 years but that an increase in the mortality hazard above 0.055 will lead to a population decline. Unlike the population in the core, the population in the periphery is dependent on further releases at this stage.</li> <li>Bearded vulture reintroductions in the Alps have succeeded in creating a self-sustaining population with higher reproductive success and similar survival probabilities to the autochthonous Pyrenean population. In general, management should focus on preventing further mortality risks. In the periphery, reducing current mortality and increasing reproductive success are essential to make the population independent of releases.</li> </ol> <p> </p> <p><strong>Readme</strong></p> <p>Data files and code for all analyses and figures presented in the paper.
