Sierra Ancha Experimental Forest (SAEF) Climate Data: 2000 - 2011
The Sierra Ancha Experimental Forest (SAEF) is a research area focused on studying watershed management. The Experimental Forest lies roughly 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Globe, Arizona, and is located within the Tonto National Forest. Tabular climate data for the SAEF are presented, including monthly and daily measurements for precipitation, temperature, and wind, for the years 2000 through 2011.
ComBase: A Web Resource for Quantitative and Predictive Food Microbiology
ComBase includes a systematically formatted database of quantified microbial responses to the food environment with more than 65,000 records, and is used for:
* Informing the design of food safety risk management plans
* Producing Food Safety Plans and HACCP plans
* Reducing food waste
* Assessing microbiological risk in foods
Arctic Peregrine Falcon Abundance on Cliffs Along the Colville River, Alaska, 1981-2002 and Covariate Input Files
This data set consists of fourteen data files. Rcode_arctic_peregrine_abundance.R contains R code that was used to analyze Arctic peregrine falcon data collected between 1981 and 2002. The code primarily uses the R package "UNMARKED" and is based on the Dail-Madsen model for estimating population abundance. To run this code in an R environment, download the file and open it in an R interpreter (such as RStudio). The remaining files are all covariate matrices that act as inputs to the R code.
Leaf-level trade-offs between drought avoidance and desiccation recovery drive elevation stratification in arid oaks: site environmental data, individual tree stem and leaf physiological data, and analyses
We investigated whether oak species in the Chiricahua Mountains were 1) elevationally stratified, 2) whether that stratification was correlated with temperature minima, maxima, and water availability, 3) if physiological tolerances to freezing or drought stress correlated with elevation ranges, and 4) if traits important to local (elevation) distributions were correlated with climatic values of the wider species ranges. Data were collected at field sites from wild, adult trees in the Chiricahua Mountains, Arizona, USA from 2014-2015.
National Animal Nutrition Program (NANP) Modeling: Animal Performance Information
This page allows you to download data from the National Animal Nutrition Program animal performance data repository directly into an Excel file. Component data sets: [NRC Dairy Report](https://animalnutrition.org/node/12); [Lofgreen Garrett](https://animalnutrition.org/node/13); [Environmental Stress](https://animalnutrition.org/node/27): [to follow]; [Beef Digestiblity](https://animalnutrition.org/beef-digestibility): [to follow]; [USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center](https://animalnutrition.org/usda-barc).
Agricultural Land Management Alternative with Numerical Assessment Criteria (ALMANAC) Simulation Model
The Agricultural Land Management Alternative with Numerical Assessment Criteria (ALMANAC) model simulates crop growth, competition, light interception by leaves, biomass accumulation, partitioning of biomass into grain, water use, nutrient uptake, and growth constraints such as water, temperature, and nutrient stress. Plant development is temperature driven, with duration of growth stages dependent on degree days. Each plant species has a defined base temperature and optimum temperature.
A global moderate resolution dataset of gross primary production of vegetation for 2000–2016
This dataset contains GPP from Vegetation Photosynthesis Model (VPM) at two spatial resolution (0.05 and 0.5 degree) and three temporal resolution (8-day, monthly, annual). The units for the three temporal resolution are g C m-2 day-1, g C m-2 month-1, g C m-2 year-1, with no conversion factor.
USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map (PHZM)
The 2012 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map (PHZM) is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones. For the first time, the map is available as an interactive GIS-based map, for which a broadband Internet connection is recommended, and as static images for those with slower Internet access. Users may also simply type in a ZIP Code and find the hardiness zone for that area. No posters of the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map have been printed. But state, regional, and national images of the map can be downloaded and printed in a variety of sizes and resolutions.
