Time lapse photography is a powerful tool to detect seasonal and interannual change in remote locations. In 2008, a time lapse camera was installed at Niwot Ridge, below D1, with a view overlooking Green Lake 4. The resulting photos give a view into the seasonal evolution of ice and snow cover over the Green Lakes Valley.

Plant species list for Niwot Ridge and Green Lakes Valley, 1970 - ongoing.
A plant species list was created for Niwot Ridge and Green Lakes Valley from species identified in those areas by NWT scientists, working primarily at the Saddle and Martinelli sites. Additions to this list included species identified by Komarkova (1979) in the Indian Peaks Wilderness area but not on Niwot Ridge or in the Green Lakes Valley because of the likelihood that those species might exist within the LTER research area. Additions to the list were also provided by Terry Theodose, Leeanne Lestak, Teresa Nettleton, Susan Sherrod, Laura Mujica-Crapanzano (2004), Hope Humphries (2006), and Jane G. Smith (2019-2025). The list was revised to remove duplicate entries, correct typos, and resolve synonymy problems. Species and non-species categories received USDA PLANTS database names and codes.

Spatial and temporal variability characterizes virtually all ecosystems, with resource supply changing over the course of growing season and across years due to climate variation. To better understand spatial heterogeneity in ecological response across landscape positions, we established a 16-node sensor array within a 45 hectare catchment landscape that measures temporal variability of important biogeochemical and hydrological controls on ecosystem processes. The array was established at the Niwot Saddle catchment in order to accompany long term water quality and discharge records taken at the top and bottom of this catchment. The region forms an important ecological linkage between the the terrestrial areas of the Niwot Ridge LTER and the aquatic component in the Green Lakes Valley.more » « less

Spatial and temporal variability characterizes virtually all ecosystems, with resource supply changing over the course of growing season and across years due to climate variation. To better understand spatial heterogeneity in ecological response across landscape positions, we established a 16-node sensor array within a 45-hectare catchment landscape that measures temporal variability of important biogeochemical and hydrological controls on ecosystem processes. The array was established at the Niwot Saddle catchment in order to accompany long term water quality and discharge records taken at the top and bottom of this catchment. The region forms an important ecological linkage between the terrestrial areas of the Niwot Ridge LTER and the aquatic component in the Green Lakes Valley. Over two years (2017 – 2018), above-ground biomass data were sampled adjacent to each of the 16 sensor nodes to characterize plant productivity. Beginning in 2023, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was measured at each node.more » « less

High alpine ecosystems are particularly sensitive to climate-driven change, with vegetation expansion increasingly observed in historically barren soils. In late August and early September 2024, we revisited 50 previously established vegetation plots in Green Lakes Valley (Niwot Ridge LTER) to evaluate patterns of plant colonization and community change over time. Using legacy vegetation data from 2008 and 2015, we assessed changes in plant cover and composition in relation to microtopography and prior plant occurrence. We resampled plots using spatially referenced 1-meter radius surveys, estimating species incidence and cover while documenting moss, lichen, sedge, and grass diversity. These data can provide insight into how priority effects and fine-scale environmental variation influence alpine plant community dynamics and may inform predictive models of plant responses to ongoing climatic shifts.more » « less

Starting in 2012 zooplankton sampling at Green Lake 4 was included in the long term monitoring data set at Niwot Ridge. Immediately after the ice has completely melted from the lakes, zooplankton samples are taken once a week for six consecutive weeks at the deepest portion of the lake from an inflatable raft. Zooplankton were sampled at the deepest location of each lake by pulling a conical net (Wisconsin net) vertically through the water column (i.e., vertical tow sample). For each zooplankton sample obtained, adult organisms were identified to species, or lowest taxonomic level (Chydoridae sp. and Bosminidae sp.). Larvae of cladocerans were counted together as neonates; calanoid and cyclopoid copepodites were counted together as nauplii. Individual body lengths of the first 50 -100 (when possible) individuals of each taxon were recorded using a calibrated eyepiece micrometer and means reported.more » « less
