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. The data download link goes to the shapefile data format, though this data is available for download off the ArcGIS Online site as a KML, File

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

Here, we deposit data from a vegetation survey conducted in 2014. The data was collected to document current vegetation patterns in the region, parameterize species distribution models, and assess community turnover in flower color. The survey was conducted in the Upper Gunnison Basin and the enviro

Vascular Plants curated within the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory Herbarium. Specimens date to 1929 and are primarily from the East River and upper Gunnison basin.

Many biotic interactions influence community structure, yet most distribution models for plants have focused on plant competition or used only abiotic variables to predict plant abundance. Furthermore, biotic interactions are commonly context-dependent across abiotic gradients. For example, plant-pl

Elevation difference (snow depth estimate for exposed ground surfaces) between co-registered WorldView-3 optical stereo DSM products from 2016-09-25 (snow-off) and 2017-02-01 (snow-on). These are preliminary products from the Stereo2SWE workflow, used to derive snow depth estimates from time series

Many pathogens infect multiple hosts, and spillover from domestic to wild species poses a significant risk for spread of diseases that threaten wildlife and humans. Documentation of cross-species transmission, and unravelling the mechanisms that drive it, remains a challenge. Focusing on co-occurrin

Geologic mapping, characterization of geologic structures, and sampling for geochronology was completed in two areas of the northwestern Sangre de Cristo Mountains from 2011 through 2017. This data release provides the raw analytical data, metadata and sample information for 20 zircon U-Pb age analy

This data release includes data collected from the Villa Grove helicopter magnetic survey in northern San Luis Valley and Poncha Pass region in south-central Colorado, USA. The survey area extends over the northern part of Great Sand Dunes National Park, Poncha Pass and vicinity, and into the southe

This Laser ablation ICPMS U-Pb detrital zircon data set supports mapping and stratigraphic interpretations of the Upper Devonian Ignacio Formation in southwestern Colorado (Silverton area). All samples were collected from a measured stratigraphic section called "Sultan Creek South" located at 37.710
