This data package was created 2024-10-17 14:21:45 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data. The data derive from three sources: (1) samples collected by the park and analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality Lab that aren’t in the USGS National Water Information System

Uplands are land areas lying above the elevation where flooding generally occurs—areas found beyond riparian zones. Uplands represent the vast majority of land area in the Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN), and include rock outcrops, badlands, shrublands, grasslands, woodlands, and forests. U

These data were compiled to measure airborne horizontal mass flux of sediments moved by wind across soils, climates, vegetation types, and land uses on the Colorado Plateau. Objectives of our study were to quantify spatial and temporal patterns in wind erosion and further our understanding of how so

We collected data at three sites in Washington Gulch near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL, Gothic, Colorado, USA) from June to August 2021 and 2022. RMBL is located in the East River valley of the West Elk mountains, approximately 10 kilometers from Crested Butte, Colorado. Study site

Though rarely experimentally tested, biotic interactions have long been hypothesized to limit low-elevation range boundaries of species. We tested the effects of herbivory on three alpine-restricted plant species by transplanting plants below (novel), at the edge (limit), or in the center (core) of

Newly discovered lacustrine strata suggest that the most signifi cant episode of stream capture in the upper Colorado River system (western USA), namely the abandonment of Unaweep Canyon, probably involved a combination of headward erosion and lake spillover. The abandonment of Unaweep Canyon occurr

Aspen forests are one of the most dynamic forest types in western North America, responding to chronic factors of competition for resources, as well as episodes of intense herbivory, drought, and fires. The interactions of these driving factors lead to varying age structures of aspen across landscap

AbstractUnderstanding patterns of animal distribution and abundance based on their movements is important to identify the habitats and factors that maximize growth and reproductive success.

This presentation reviews the experiences of a meteorology-inspired infectious disease forecast station operating within a rural community. The forecast station promoted routine communication of a broader array of infectious disease activity than that monitored by public health; facilitated proactiv

The Southern Rocky Mountain volcanic fi eld contains widespread andesite and dacitic lavas erupted from central volcanoes; associated with these are ~26 regional ignimbrites (each 150–5000 km3) emplaced from 37 to 23 Ma, source calderas as much as 75 km across, and subvolcanic plutons.
