Small, single-point load cells were used to measure force exerted by the first leaf of three hard red cultivars (Farnum, Finley, and Norwest 553) as it emerged from a deep planting depth in a small containerized volume of soil. Coleoptile diameter was determined using a 0 to 25 mm, ratchet-stop...
The quantification and description of sea surface temperature (SST) is critically important because it can influence the distribution, migration, and invasion of marine species; furthermore, SSTs are expected to be affected by climate change. To better understand present temperature regimes, we assembled a 29-year nearshore time series of mean monthly...
The Integrated Landscape Assessment Project (ILAP) was a multi-year effort to produce information, maps, and models to help land managers, policy-makers, and others conduct mid- to broad-scale (e.g., watersheds to states and larger areas) prioritization of land management actions, perform landscape assessments, and estimate cumulative effects of management actions for...
The dataset contains three loblolly pines (Pinus taeda Lindl.) stems reconstructed with terrestrial photogrammetric techniques. The trees were growing in west-central Louisiana, Vernon parish. The reconstructed models reached over 50% of the relative height, the proportion of the stem, on which the majority of the merchantable volume is located. After...
We form a new data set of fields of sea level anomalies by combining gridded daily fields derived from altimeter data with coastal tide gauge data. Within approximately 50-80 km of the coast, the altimeter data are discarded and replaced by a linear interpolation between the tide gauge and remaining...
This study seeks to address the following questions: What are the research practices and needs of graduate students? How can new library services and features reduce the gap between graduate student needs and current IR services and features? Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with eight graduate students from different disciplines....
In this dataset we present the environmental effect of solar panels. We had two weather stations, one in a control area and one in an area with solar panels. The weather stations collected wind speed, temperature, solar radiation and relative humidity. We also measured soil moisture in different shaded zones...
This dataset was used to determine the attenuation of an audio signal by reticulated foam samples that span the natural range of intrinsic permeability for seasonal snow. Data are audio measurements acquired on a two-channel oscilloscope.
We characterized wildfire transmission and exposure within a matrix of large land tenures (federal, state, and private) surrounding 56 communities within a 3.3 million ha fire prone region of central Oregon US. Wildfire simulation and network analysis were used to quantify the exchange of fire among land tenures and communities...
