PhenoCam images from JERGRASSLAND site, Jornada Experimental Range, New Mexico, USA since 2019

    This data set consists of repeat digital imagery from the tower-mounted digital cameras (hereafter, PhenoCams) at the Jornada Experimental Range. JER is a member of the PhenoCam network, which has as its mission to serve as a long-term, continental-scale, phenological observatory. Imagery is uploaded to the PhenoCam server every 30 minutes. The archived images provide a permanent record that can be visually-inspected to determine the phenological state of the vegetation at any point in time. Vegetation greenness metrics (e.g., GCC) derived from the ratio of the green color band to sum of red, green, and blue color bands serve as proxies for vegetation greenness. Greenness metrics can be extracted from the images using simple image processing methods in 1-day or 3-day increments.

    Long Term Ecological Research (LTER), Jornada Basin Data Catalog

      This dataset links to the Jornada data homepage, which links to 153 individual datasets. Those datasets can then be searched based on Title, Keyword, or Investigator. The Jornada Basin Long Term Ecological Research Program (JRN LTER) has been investigating desertification processes since 1982.

      The Bronson Files, Dataset 10, Field 113, 2018 Cotton

        Dr. Kevin Bronson provides a dataset representing the third of three consecutive years of cotton and nitrogen management experimentation in Field 113 of the Maricopa Agricultural Center, Arizona USA. Included is an intermediate analysis mega-table of correlated and calculated parameters, laboratory analysis results generated during the experimentation, plus high-resolution plot level intermediate data analysis tables of SAS process output, as well as the complete raw data sensor recorded logger outputs. Note that the second and third year of F113 cotton experimentation includes a large utilization of depleted nitrogen-15 isotope tracing to support evaluation of nitrogen use and uptake.

        The Bronson Files, Dataset 9, Field 113, 2017 Cotton

          Dr. Kevin Bronson provides a dataset representing the second of three consecutive years of cotton and nitrogen management experimentation in Field 113. Included is an intermediate analysis mega-table of correlated and calculated parameters, laboratory analysis results generated during the experimentation, plus high-resolution plot level intermediate data analysis tables of SAS process output, as well as the complete raw data sensor recorded logger outputs. Note that the second and third year of F113 cotton experimentation includes a large utilization of depleted nitrogen-15 isotope tracing to support evaluation of nitrogen use and uptake.

            The Bronson Files, Dataset 7, Field 13, 2015

              Dr. Kevin Bronson provides a second year of water management in cotton agricultural research experiment dataset for compute, including notation of field events and operations, an intermediate analysis mega-table of correlated and calculated parameters, and laboratory analysis results generated during the experimentation, plus high-resolution plot level intermediate data analysis tables of SAS process output, as well as the complete raw data sensor recorded logger outputs.

              The Bronson Files, Dataset 6, Field 13, 2014

                Dr. Kevin Bronson provides a unique nitrogen and water management in cotton agricultural research dataset for compute, including notation of field events and operations, an intermediate analysis mega-table of correlated and calculated parameters, and laboratory analysis results generated during the experimentation, plus high-resolution plot level intermediate data analysis tables of SAS process output, as well as the complete raw data sensor recorded logger outputs.
