We deployed an Andersen’s Impactor for 24 hrs. to collect filter sample of bioaerosol particles at Mt. Crested Butte During Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign. It has six stages which bioaerosol particles were separated and collected in those stages based on their aerodyn

We deployed a Wideband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor (WIBS‐Neo, DMT) at Crested Butte Mountain to the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign. During 2022, we measured and calculated the size distribution of fluorescence bioaerosol particles (FBAPs), and non-biogenic aerosol pa

This release contains code to replicate random forest analyses associated with the JGR-Biogeoscience paper "Climate, hydrology, and nutrients control the seasonality of Si concentrations in rivers".

Cloud base height / vertical visibility and attenuated backscatter coefficient profiles from NOAA GML's Vaisala CL51 ceilometer deployed at Kettle Ponds (CKP). Data have been sampled to nearest 1-min. See Readme document for details.

Abstract High-elevation mountain regions, central to global freshwater supply, are experiencing more rapid warming than low-elevation locations. High-elevation streams are therefore potentially critical indicators for earth system and water chemistry response to warming. Here we present concerted hy

Abstract North America has more than 4000 bee species, yet we have little information on the health, distribution, and population trends of most of these species. In the United States, what information is available is distributed across multiple institutions, and efforts to track bee populations are

AbstractSoil respiration is a primary component of the terrestrial carbon cycle. However, predicting the response of soil respiration to climate change remains a challenge due to the complex interactions between environmental drivers, especially plant phenology, temperature, and soil moisture. In th

Pollinator-mediated selection is expected to constrain floral color variation within plant populations. Here, we test for patterns of constraint on floral color variation in 38 bee- and/or hummingbird-pollinated plant species from Colorado, United States. We collected reflectance spectra for at leas

Abstract Long-term plot-scale studies have found water limitation to be a key factor driving ecosystem productivity in the Rocky Mountains. Specifically, the intensity of early summer (the ‘foresummer’ period from May to June) drought conditions appears to impose critical controls on peak ecosystem

Many animals have the potential to discriminate nonspectral colors. For humans, purple is the clearest example of a nonspectral color. It is perceived when two color cone types in the retina (blue and red) with nonadjacent spectral sensitivity curves are predominantly stimulated. Purple is considere

Abstract Rapid environmental change can decouple previously reliable cues from important resources, causing specialized recognition systems to result in maladaptive behaviors. For native herbivorous insects, such evolutionary traps are often imposed by attractive invasive plants that prove harmful t

Plant–pollinator systems may be susceptible to temporal mismatch if bees and flowering Sean R. Griffin,2,4 plants differ in their phenological response

Species' geographic range shifts toward higher latitudes and elevations are among the most frequently reported consequences of climate change. However, the role of species interactions in setting range margins remains poorly understood. We used cage experiments in ponds to test competing hypotheses

Introduction: Fuels treatments have occurred within the Gunnison Basin for nearly 30 years. Since 1976, approximately 120,000 acres have been treated. Emphasis was on disposal of slash from timber sales, prescribed burning for wildlife and livestock improvements as well as restoration of threatened
