Sindewald et al - Identifying alpine treeline species using high-resolution WorldView-3 multispectral imagery and convolutional neural networks dataset

The dataset contains region of interest (ROI) polygons for six treeline species found in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO. The tree and shrub species include limber pine (Pinus flexilis), willow (Salix glauca, Salix brachycarpa, and hybrids), Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii), subalpine fir (Abie

Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) water potentials from clones with varying aspect and understory composition

Predawn and midday plant water potential measurements, collected on terminal twigs using a scholander-type pressure chamber (PMS Instruments, Corvallis, OR, USA). Measurements were collected from 1-3 canopy dominant or co-dominant raments in 12 mature trembling aspen ( Populus tremuloides ) near asp

Data from: Betting on rains that do not come: Monsoon failure and leaf area overshoot relate to increased tree mortality from drought

Structural overshoots, where biomass is overallocated to tree leaf area compared to sapwood area, could result in lethal stress during droughts. Climate change may alter climatic cues that drive leaf area production, such as temperature and precipitation, as well as seasonal dynamics that underlie s

Global Bee Interaction Data

Last modified: January 09, 2025 IntroductionThis dataset comprises all bee interactions indexed by Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI; Poelen et al. 2014). It is published quarterly by the Big Bee Project (Seltmann et al. 2021) to summarize all available knowledge about bee interactions from natural

Forest composition and structural controls on canopy snow interception in a Colorado watershed

Globally and across the Western United States shifting climate regimes have the ability to propagate change throughout ecosystems and affect their associated hydrologic functions. In mountain regions, which serve as “water towers” for much of humanity, the complex interactions between vegetation and

Stem and canopy growth analysis in Picea Engelmannii with UAVs and field measurements

Forests play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so it is critical to evaluate their capacity to store carbon over time. Existing research on forest carbon sequestration relies on field methods that do not allow for samplin

Lidar and deep learning reveal forest structural controls on snowpack

Forest structure has a strong relationship with abiotic components of the environment. For example, canopy morphology controls snow depth through interception and modifies incoming thermal radiation. In turn, snow water availability affects forest growth, carbon sequestration, and nutrient cycling.

Silviculture

Abstract Silviculture is the art and science of managing forest stands to meet landowner goals and objectives; traditional examples of goals and objectives include managing for timber production, improved wildlife habitat, fuels reduction, and maintenance or improvement of forest health.

Analysis of growth patterns in Conifer stands present in Gothic town

Forest ecology research is being revolutionized with the advent of remote sensing. Remote sensing is more accurate and reliable than previous methods for assessing forest dynamics, so it is important to generate workflows for assessing them. The forests of the Gothic townsite are an underutilized su

The Influence of Forest Structure and Composition on Transpiration Rates Among Drought-Stressed Conifer Species in the Upper East River Watershed

Despite the ecological significance of prominent coniferous forests surrounding RMBL, there are few comprehensive studies on these systems, particularly regarding transpiration dynamics. Their critical role in carbon sequestration, microclimate dynamics, and water resource management in the Upper Co

Interannual precipitation controls on soil CO2 fluxes in high elevation conifer and aspen forests

Long-term soil CO2 emission measurements are necessary for detecting trends and interannual variability in the terrestrial carbon cycle. Such records are becoming increasingly valuable as ecosystems experience altered environmental conditions associated with climate change. From 2013 to 2021, we con
