Title: Long-term trends in abundance of Lepidoptera larvae at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and three additional northern hardwood forest sites, 1986-2022
Numbers and lengths of Lepidoptera larvae (caterpillars, all species) were censused on shrub level foliage at biweekly intervals from late May/early June through late July/early August each year. Measurements were conducted on the Main bird plot in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and on three additional plots within the White Mountain National Forest from 1986-1997. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.  more » « less

  2. Streamflow at 9 watersheds (12-77 Hectares) within the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire, USA has been measured continuously from as early as 1955. Streams are gaged with V-notch weirs, in some cases in combination with rectangular San Dimas flumes, at the outlet of each watershed. Through 2012, stage heights were recorded by means of a mechanical spring-wound clock and pen on a strip-chart recorder. Beginning January 1, 2013, these analog chart recorders were replaced with digital sensors. Overlap with both measurement techniques occurred for several years at all weirs. Streamflow data were gathered by the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest and contributed to the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES).
