The partitioning of water inputs between deep and shallow groundwater flow paths is a fundamental processes, yet is challenging to observe. Numerical models provide a valuable tool to further develop insights on these groundwater mixing processes. This repository contains scripts to run the ParFlow-

This dataset contains timelapse videos and distributed measurements of air temperature, relative humidity, dewpoint, and soil temperature across the East River Basin from October 3rd, 2023 to August 12th, 2024. Instruments were deployed in 14 sites as part of the DOE Grant: Seasonal Cycles Unravel M

We examined how abiotic (warming), and biotic (presence of dominant plant species) factors interact to affect soil microbial processes in montane meadow ecosystems at high and low elevations at the WaRM experimental sites near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Colorado in the West Elk rang

It is published quarterly by the Big Bee Project (Seltmann et al. 2021) to summarize all available knowledge about bee interactions from natural hist

Premise: Co-occurring plant species that share generalist pollinators often exchange pollen. This heterospecific pollen transfer (HPT) impacts male and female reproductive success through pollen loss and reductions in seed set, respectively. The resulting fitness cost of HPT imposes selection on rep

Understanding drivers of species distributions is an important challenge for more accurately projecting ecological change under climate warming. Species distributions have often been modeled using solely environmental factors as predictors. However, there is much recent data supporting the hypothesi

Alpine climates are seemingly adverse environments for plants. These habitats directly impact plants via pollinator scarcity and abiotic factors like extreme temperatures and precipitation that influence resource allocation. As a result, elevational gradients are natural laboratories that can be use

Studies have shown that there have been pollinator declines occurring worldwide (e.g., Beismiejer et al. 2006; Potts et al. 2010; Burkle et al. 2013; Goulson et al. 2015). It is important to understand plant-pollinator interactions as thoroughly as possible, including which species are interacting w

Community ecology and dynamics are often only thought of in terms of the processes selection and speciation. Likewise, plants are often only considered in their immobile, germinated form. However, when it comes to plant community dynamics, seeds and the seedbank are often critical in predicting comm

There is an urgent need to explore the interactions among multiple global change drivers in underrepresented regions such as semi-arid ecosystems, forests in the tropics and subtropics, and Arctic tundra when forecasting future terrestrial carbon-climate feedback.

The abiotic environment drives species abundances and distributions both directly and indirectly through effects on multi-trophic species interactions. However, few studies have documented the individual and combined consequences of these direct and indirect effects. We studied an ant-tended aphid a

Although species interactions are often proposed to be stronger at lower latitudes and elevations, few studies have evaluated the mechanisms driving such patterns. In this study, we assessed whether, and by which mechanisms, abiotic changes associated with elevation altered the outcome of an ant–aph

AbstractThe hyporheic zone, where surface water and groundwater mix, is an important microbial habitat where biogeochemical reactions influence water quality. We show that spatial variability in hyporheic flow in the East River near Crested Butte, CO, drives heterogeneity in streambed geochemical co

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

Despite colonizing nearly every plant on Earth, foliar fungal symbionts have received little attention in studies on the biogeog- raphy of host-associated microbes. Evidence from regional scale studies suggests that foliar fungal symbiont distributions are influenced both by plant hosts and environm

AbstractClimate change is shifting altitudinal species ranges, with potential to disrupt species interactions. Altitudinal gradient studies and warming experiments can both increase understanding of climate effects on species interactions, but few studies have used both together to improve predictio
