These data were compiled for monitoring riparian zone trends and changes in the Navajo Nation as part of a study to document riparian ecosystem health and its water use in support of potential restoration efforts. The objective of our study was to monitor the short and medium-term effects on the rip

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

This data release includes Al-26/Be-10 cosmogenic nuclide concentrations and burial isochron ages for three locations in central Colorado, USA, with preferred burial ages ranging from ~2 Ma to 600 ka, that provide constraints on geologic mapping and chronostratigraphic correlations of Pleistocene Co

Abstract This data release includes a list of high-priority hazardous faults and associated spatial data (regional polygons and buffered fault traces) for the Intermountain West (IMW) region of the United States. These are the top five faults or regions of concern per IMW state, based on the 2025 (v

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

This data release includes Al-26/Be-10 cosmogenic nuclide concentrations and burial isochron ages for three locations in central Colorado, USA, with preferred burial ages ranging from ~2 Ma to 600 ka, that provide constraints on geologic mapping and chronostratigraphic correlations of Pleistocene Co

By migrating, ungulates take advantage of cyclical fluctuations in resources, which allows them to persist at greater population numbers than they would in the absence of these seasonal movements. We sought to identify the drivers of spring elk (Cervus canadensis) migration and evaluate how well ind

Astragalus microcymbus, the skiff milkvetch, is a perennial forb endemic to Gunnison and Saguache counties in Colorado, United States. In 1995 Denver Botanic Gardens scientists began monitoring individual A. microcymbus plants to track longevity and reproductive rates, ultimately recording plant len

This data release provides digital flight-line and gridded data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the central portion of the Colorado Mineral Belt, central Colorado. The Colorado Mineral Belt is a broad, northeast-southwest trending alignment of historic mining dist

With continual growth in recreational trail use, it is becoming increasingly complicated to balance demands for outdoor recreation opportunities with wildlife conservation. To better understand how mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus canadensis) respond to trail-based recr

Evolutionary adaptation can allow a population to persist in the face of a new environmental challenge. With many populations now threatened by environmental change, it is important to understand whether this process of evolutionary rescue is feasible under natural conditions, yet work on this topic

Cold-air pooling (CAP) mapped across Colorado at 100m resolution and the region surrounding the East River watershed, CO at 30m resolution. Classifications were determined using a Python implementation of the algorithm originally developed in Lundquist et al., 2008, applied to digital elevation mode

This dataset contains maps of cold-air pooling (CAP) across Colorado at 100m resolution (Colorado_100m.nc) and the region surrounding the East River watershed, CO at 30m resolution (EastRiver_30m.nc). Classifications were determined using a Python implementation of the algorithm originally developed

Aerosol particles were collected using a four-stage Size and Time-resolved Aerosol Collector (STAC) during the SAIL field campaign. Each stage of STAC separates particles into distinct aerodynamic size fractions with 50% cut-off diameters: Stage A: 2.27 µm Stage B: 0.615 µm Stage C: 0.421 µm Stage D

Climatic warming affects ecosystem-scale carbon fluxes directly through its impact on photosynthesis and respiration, and indirectly by altering the plant community. This study reports on a 10-year factorial warming and dominant plant species removal experiment, conducted in a high- and a low-elevat

From fall 2021 through summer 2023, NOAA and research partners conducted a field study (SPLASH - the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology). This field study established a state-of-the-art observing network in the East River watershed of the Colorado mountains
