Long Term Ecological Research Network

Field biologists and ecologists are starting to open new avenues of inquiry at greater spatial and temporal resolution, allowing them to "observe the unobservable" through the use of wireless sensor networks. Sensor networks facilitate the collection of diverse types of data (from temperature to imagery and sound) at frequent intervals--even multiple times per second--over large areas, allowing ecologists and field biologists to engage in intensive and expansive sampling and to unobtrusively collect new types of data. Moreover, real-time data flows allow researchers to react rapidly to events, thus extending the laboratory to the field. We review some existing uses of …

Ecological Disturbance And Response: Central Role Of Biological Legacies, Jerry F. Franklin, David Lidenmayer, James A. Macmahon, John Magnuson, Arthur Mcknee, David Perry, Robert Waide, David Foster, Frederick Swanson

Long Term Ecological Research Network

Introduction: Our understanding of the long-term ecological consequences of ecosystems disturbances has increased dramatically in the last two decades. The expansion in knowledge has been fueled by recent large and intense natural disturbances that have provided scientists with extraordinary opportunities to thoroughly investigate impacts and recovery processes associated with such disturbances. These disturbances events include the Mount St. Helens eruption of 1980 (Franklin et al. 1984; Franklin, Frenzen, and Swanson 1996). Yellowstone forest fires of 1988 (Christensen et al. 1989) and Hurricane Hugo of 1989 (Walker et al. 1991) and Andrew of 1992 (Pimm et al. 1994). Experiments and long-term …

Stream Organic Matter Budgets, J.R Webster, Judy L. Meyer

Long Term Ecological Research Network

This analysis of organic matter dynamics in streams has 3 objectives: 1) to explore the relationships between physical characteristics of streams and their watersheds (climate, geomorphology) and steam organic matter dynamics using data from a broad geographic area; 2) to compare steam organic matter dynamics in a diverse array of steams in order to suggest determinants of observed patterns; and 3) to reveal deficiencies in currently available data on organic matter dynamics in steams. Streams were included in this analysis not to represent the global diversity of stream types but because organic matter data were available. In the introductory chapter …

Long Term Ecological Research Network

Effective management of ecological research data can insure the security and accessibility of data that cannot be collected again under the same conditions and plays a key role in every aspect of the research project from experimental design to publication. Commercial relational database management software, developed an adequate solution for long-term scientific data management. An archive file format provides the standard around which a data file management system is implemented. The system works within the parameters of existing components of the operating system software. Data filters and data engines are used to communicate data to and from applications. This paper …

Integration Of Scientific Information Management And Environmental Research, Susan G. Stafford, James W. Brunt, William K. Michener

Long Term Ecological Research Network

A new dynamic between science and technology is changing the management and analysis of environmental information. As a result of the expanding scope of environmental research, developers of environmental databases must now address difficult and diverse issues: the wide variety of data being considered for inclusion, the size and complexity of databases being collected; their design, development and utilization, the different scales of data collection; increasingly sophisticated analytical requirements; and the integration of data from various sources and disciplines. Increased attention to spatial variability, scale and the integration of basic and applied research to address societal issues has several implications …
