Semiarid grasslands and extreme precipitation events: Do experimental results scale to the landscape?

Storm cloud

This dataset contains growing season precipitation data collected from an extensive rain gauge network with thirty catch cans distributed on the USDA-Central Plains Experimental Range (CPER) in Nunn, Colorado from 1982-2013. The CPER is a site in the USDA Long-term Agroecosystem Research Network. These data provide records of long-term observations, which can be applied to assess responses to naturally occurring deluges across the 62.7 km2 CPER in NE Colorado, a SGS ecosystem with significant spatial variation in precipitation received during the growing season, soils and grazing management, and where several small-scale deluge experiments have been conducted.
