Heterogeneity of practice underlies the homogeneity of ecological outcomes of United States yard care in metropolitan regions, neighborhoods and households. PLoS ONE doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0222630 These data contain answers 2011 survey questions: In the past year, which of the following has been applied to any part of your yard: Water for irrigating grass, plants, or trees? Fertilizers? Pesticides to get rid of weeds or pests? The total household annual income (8 ordinal categories), age of respondent (5 ordinal categories), and the answer to: About how many neighbors do you know by name? (recorded in 5 ordinal categories). Two additional columns are provided to indicate the metropolitan region of the respondent (one of the following six: Phoenix, Los Angeles, Minneapolis - St. Paul, Baltimore, Boston, or Miami) and the degree of urbanicity in that region (Urban, Suburban, or Exurban).

   Leon, Miguel C (October 2024, Environmental Data Initiative)

   This dataset contains population, meteorological, phenological, and chemical data collected from tropical montane stream and forest ecosystems. This synthesis product merges 11 distinct datasets into a single comprehensive resource, facilitating easier comparison and study of diverse ecological data. Try our data explorer [here.](https://luqshiny.lter.network/sigds/) It provides a multi-faceted dataset essential to enhance biodiversity monitoring, ecosystem management, and global change research. Data spans from 1975 to 2024, with some gaps and missing data points. Particularly at the beginning of the time span measurements started with temperature and rainfall before other dataset collections began with the inception of the LUQ LTER in the late 1980s. For phenology 17 species were selected for inclusion, listed below. 11 dominant species as described in Uriarte et al. 2009 (DOI 10.1890/08-0707.1). As well as in decline species PALRIP- Palicourea riparia and CISVER - Cissus verticillata. Species that show a strong response to hurricanes PHYRIV - Phytolacca rivinoides- an understory herb and IPOTL -Ipomoea tiliacea- Morning glory vine. And a species thriving understory shrub SMIDOM - Smilax domingensis. - **From Uriarte et al. 2009 these 11 species represent 75% of the stems >=10 cm dbh in the LFDP plot: ** - **ALCLAT** - Alchornea latifolia - **CASARB** - Casearia arborea - **CECSCH** - Cecropia schreberiana - **DACEXC** - Dacryodes excelsa - **GUAGUI** - Guarea guidonia - **INGLAU** - Inga laurina - **MANBID** - Manilkara bidentata - **PREMON** - Prestoea montana - **SCHMOR** - Schefflera morototoni - **SLOBER** - Sloanea berteriana - **TABHET** - Tabebuia heterophylla - **PALRIP** - Palicourea riparia - For more details on methods and variables see each individual dataset: - Canopy Trimming Experiment (CTE) Litterfall: [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=162](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=162) - Litterfall in tabonuco (subtropical wet) forest in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico (MRCE Litterfall data): [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=111](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=111) - Rainfall at El Verde Field Station, Rio Grande, Puerto Rico since 1975: [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=14](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=14) - Maximum temperature at El Verde Field Station, Rio Grande, Puerto Rico since October 1992: [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=16](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=16) - Minimum temperature at El Verde Field Station, Rio Grande, Puerto Rico since 1975: [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=17](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=17) - Chemistry of stream water from the Luquillo Mountains, Quebrada Sonadora and Quebrada Prieta: [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=20](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=20) - Shrimp populations in Quebrada Prieta (Pools 0, 8, 9, 15) (El Verde): [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=54](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=54) - Meteorological data from El Verde Field Station: NADP Tower: [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=127](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=127) - Chemistry of rainfall and throughfall from El Verde and Bisley: [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=174](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=174) - Phenologies of the Tabonuco Forest trees and shrubs: [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=88](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=88) - Prieta streams - Discharge and water level: [https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=182](https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-luq&identifier=182) We would like to acknowledge the contributions of all those who have worked in the Luquillo LTER over the course of its 36 year and counting history.

5. Madidi Project Full Dataset

   https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5160379  

   Tello, J. Sebastian; Macia, Manuel J.; Arellano, Gabriel; Nieto-Ariza, Beatriz; Cayola, Leslie; Fuentes, Alfredo F. (January 2021, Zenodo)

   This item contains version 5.0</strong> of the Madidi Project's full dataset. The zip file contains (1) raw data, which was downloaded from Tropicos (www.tropicos.org) on August 18, 2020; (2) R scripts used to modify, correct, and clean the raw data; (3) clean data that are the output of the R scripts, and which are the point of departure for most uses of the Madidi Dataset; (4) post-cleaning scripts that obtain additional but non-essential information from the clean data (e.g. by extracting environmental data from rasters); and (5) a miscellaneous collection of additional non-essential information and figures. This item also includes the Data Use Policy</strong> for this dataset.</p> The core dataset of the Madidi Project consists of a network of ~500 forest plots distributed in and around the Madidi National Park in Bolivia. This network contains 50 permanently marked large plots (1-ha), as well as >450 temporary small plots (0.1-ha). Within the large plots, all woody individuals with a dbh ≥10 cm have been mapped, tagged, measured, and identified. Some of these plots have also been re-visited and information on mortality, recruitment, and growth exists. Within the small plots, all woody individuals with a dbh ≥2.5 cm have been measured and identified. Each plot has some edaphic and topographic information, and some large plots have information on various plant functional traits.</p> The Madidi Project is a collaborative research effort to document and study plant biodiversity in the Amazonia and Tropical Andes of northwestern Bolivia. The project is currently lead by the Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG), in collaboration with the Herbario Nacional de Bolivia. The management of the project is at MBG, where J. Sebastian Tello (sebastian.tello@mobot.org) is the scientific director. The director oversees the activities of a research team based in Bolivia. MBG works in collaboration with other data contributors (currently: Manuel J. Macía [manuel.macia@uam.es], Gabriel Arellano [gabriel.arellano.torres@gmail.com] and Beatriz Nieto [sonneratia@gmail.com]), with a representative from the Herbario Nacional de Bolivia (LPB; Carla Maldonado [carla.maldonado1@gmail.com]), as well as with other close associated researchers from various institutions. For more information regarding the organization and objectives of the Madidi Project, you can visit the project’s website (www.madidiproject.weebly.com</strong>).</p> The Madidi project has been supported by generous grants from the National Science Foundation (DEB 0101775, DEB 0743457, DEB 1836353), and the National Geographic Society (NGS 7754-04 and NGS 8047-06). Additional financial support for the Madidi Project has been provided by the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Comunidad de Madrid (Spain), the Universidad Autónima de Madrid, and the Taylor and Davidson families.
