NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Simic fire data from Antelope Hill, Western Slope - IMPD USAEH001
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
Lek Disturbance Buffer Analysis data, Western Colorado, Derived from Gunnison Sage Grouse Location Data 2010 - 2014
This data release consists of three files (Crawford_and_WGB_Location_Data_S1.csv, Lek_Dist_S2.csv, and Home_Range_Area_S3.csv). The first data set represents specifics about each GPS location representing temporal and spatial relationships used in our analysis including the Month, day and year and l
Data for Context-dependent biotic interactions control plant abundance across altitudinal environmental gradients, 2014, 2016, Colorado, USA.
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

Environmental Focus Group Findings on Snodgrass
The Environmental Focus Group was asked to provide an opinion on the potential of ski area expansion onto Snodgrass Mountain. We considered the following potential environmental impacts, which were identified in environmental assessments of previous proposals: > > > > Use of East River water for sno
Benefits of restoration on abandoned roads at high altitude: minimizing the impacts of habitat fragmentation
The influence of edge effects on aquatic invertebrate diversity in the streams of the East River Valley of Colorado
The Gothic earthflow revisited: a chronosequence examination of colonization on a subalpine earthflow
A chronosequence study of permanent plots spanning 45 years on a 70-year-old subalpine earthflow in south-western Colorado suggests that it is the severe microclimate of the earthflow which is limiting further colonization of the site.
