NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Simic fire data from Needle Creek, Western Slope - IMPD USNEC001
The historical role of fire in sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) landscapes remains poorly understood, yet is important to inform management and conservation of obligate species such as the threatened Gunnison Sage-grouse (GUSG; Centrocercus minimus). We reconstructed fire histories from tree-ring fi

R code for Demographic consequences of changing environmental periodicity
These R scripts contain the code to replicate the analyses performed in Demographic consequences of changing environmental periodicity , Ecology. Vital-rate estimation We used the demographic data of each species to model periodic differences in vital rates for each life-cycle stage using generalize
Data from: Comparative impacts of long-term trends in snowmelt and species interactions on plant population dynamics
Climate change can impact plant fitness and population persistence directly through changing abiotic conditions and indirectly through its effects on species interactions. Pollination and seed predation are important biotic interactions that can impact plant fitness, but their impact on population g
Floodplain hydrostratigraphy from sedimentology, geophysics, and remote sensing
This file includes the data published in: Malenda, H.F., Sutfin, N.A., Stauffer, S., Guryan. G., Rowland, J.C., Williams, K.H., and Singha, K. (2019). From Grain to Floodplain: Evaluating heterogeneity of floodplain hydrostatigraphy using sedimentology, geophysics, and remote sensing. Earth Surface
Effects of flowers on land surface albedo and soil microclimate
The phenology of vegetation, namely leaf-out and senescence, can influence the Earth’s climate over regional spatial scales and long time periods (e.g., over 30 years or more), in addition to microclimates over local spatial scales and shorter time periods (weeks to months). However, the effects of
Annually collected demography data from an alpine plant community on Mt. Baldy, Colorado (38.978725°N, 107.042104°W, ~3540 masl).
Description: Annual demography dataset for an alpine plant community in Colorado. This file updates previous years of data for this project posted to https://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.33410. This version is provisional and will be updated shortly with additional years of data and
Data from: Selection of floral traits by pollinators and seed predators during sequential life history stages
Organismal traits often influence fitness via interactions with multiple species. That selection is not necessarily predictable from pairwise interactions, such as when interactions occur during different lifecycle stages. Theoretically, directional selection during two sequential episodes, e.g., po
What plant ecologists can learn from zoology
How improved communication with zoology can enrich plant ecology is illustrated by some individual and collective actions that plant ecologists can take.

Effects of experimental manipulation of inflorescence size on pollination and pre-dispersal seed predation in the hummingbird-pollinated plant <i>Ipomopsis aggregata</i>
Effects of pollinators, herbivores, and seed predators on flowering phenology
The evolution of flowering phenology has most often been examined in light of one set of organisms, namely pollinators. However, the patterns of flowering phenology observed in nature are likely to reflect evolutionary compromises in response to a variety of selective forces. Two of the most importa
Untangling multiple factors in spatial distributions: Lilies, gophers, and rocks
Despite broad consensus on the power of experiments, correlational studies are still important in ecology, and may become more so as spatial studies proliferate. Conventional correlation analysis, however, (1) fundamentally conflicts with the basic ecological concept of limiting factors, and (2) ign
