This data package contains a series of datasets aimed at understanding the seasonal origins of water used by the dominant conifer species, Abies lasiocarpa and Picea engelmannii, in the East River Watershed. There is a distinct difference in the stable isotopic ratio of summer rain and snowpack and

Leaf area, wet, and dry weights for leaf samples from sites where field sampling was conducted during the 2018 National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) imaging spectroscopy and lidar surveys in Gunnison County, Colorado. The sampling sites were located acros

The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) represents the water drainage network of the United States with features such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, coastline, dams, and stream gages. This data was downloaded directly from the usgs.gov National Map downloader site. The data was then clippe

These are the platted and recorded designated city and town boundaries within Gunnison County. This dataset was downloaded directly from the Gunnison County GIS website and was updated on 09/10/2019.

This dataset contains the parcel boundaries with the tax parcel information included from the Gunnison County Assessors and GIS office. It was downloaded directly off the Gunnison County GIS department website. The data download link goes to the shapefile data format, though this data is available f

This data set includes all trails, bikeways and public paths within Gunnison County. It was created by RMBL GIS and is a compilation of trail data from multiple sources such as the Crested Butte Mountain Bike Association, US Forest Service and Gunnison County. The data download link goes to the shap

These are the US Forest Service designated districts for the Gunnison County area. This dataset was created in 2015 by Rocky Mountain Biological Lab GIS off documents and legal boundaries from the USFS. These districts are broken into 4 different districts: West Zone/Aspen Ranger District (White Riv

This data set contains all of the wilderness area boundaries within Gunnison County. The original dataset was downloaded off the Gunnison County GIS website.

These are the parcel lands within Gunnison County that are either managed or owned by the US forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management. This layer was created by RMBL GIS, and is a subset of data from the original Exempt shapefile downloaded from the Gunnison County website. The data download

This data set is created and updated yearly based on scientist, researcher, and student GPS mapping throughout the year. All of the current research sites from each summer are combined as polygons in one feature layer. This dataset is for public use and does not contain any private researcher name o

Prof. David Inouye has been collecting data on the abundance and timing of flowers that fall within permanent plots at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), in Gothic, Colorado, USA, from 1973 to present. During the growing season, flowers of each species are counted approximately every o

Prof. Rebecca (Becky) Irwin has been collecting data on the abundance and timing of bees in permanent sites near the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab (RMBL), Gothic, Colorado, USA, from 2009 to present. During the flight season, we use pan traps and netting every two weeks to estimate bee abundance by

These data continue and expand upon data collected by Kenneth B. Armitage titled, " Social Behavior and Population Dynamics of Yellow-bellied Marmots", that goes from 1965 - 2001. A record includes the subject's age, sex, body mass, locality, and reproductive status. Starting in 2002, additional col

Upper East sub-basins are delineated as area contributing flow to SFA 2016 stream gage locations. Shapefile attributes include sub-basin ID, name, area (m2 and km2) and codes for spatial contributions to EBC and PH used by Carroll et al. (2018). Geospatial reference is UTM 1983 zone 13.

Airborne LiDAR data were acquired over the East River Watershed on June 8, 2015 to August 10, 2015. The area covered was approximately 4933 square kilometers with an average point density of 10-12 points per square meter to comply with USGS's QL1 standard. Additional products include the LiDAR point

Patterns of insect herbivory may follow predictable geographical gradients, with greater herbivory at low latitudes. However, biogeographic studies of insect herbivory often do not account for multiple abiotic factors (e.g. precipitation, soil nutrients) that could underlie gradients. We tested for

Climate change is causing species with non-overlapping ranges to come in contact, and a key challenge is to predict the consequences of such species re-shuffling. Experiments on plants have focused largely on novel competitive interactions; other species interactions, such as plant-microbe symbioses
