We examine the 0–100 Ma paleoceanographic record retained in pelagic clay from the South Pacific Gyre (SPG) by analyzing 47 major, trace, and rare earth elements in bulk sediment in 206 samples from seven sites drilled during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 329. We use multivariate statistical analyses (Q-mode factor analysis...
Tracking the dynamic morphology of active materials during operation of lithium batteries is essential for identifying causes of performance loss. Digital volume correlation (DVC) is applied to high-speed operando synchrotron X-ray computed tomography of a commercial Li/MnO₂ primary battery during discharge. Real-time electrode material displacement is captured in 3D allowing...
Managing multiple ecosystem services (ESs) across landscapes presents a central challenge for ecosystem-based management, because services often exhibit spatiotemporal variation and weak associations with co-occurring ESs. Further focus on the mechanistic relationships among ESs and their underlying biophysical processes provides greater insight into the causes of variation and covariation among...
This data set contains RCode designed for mapping correlated vegetation summary variables via univariate (modified random forest regression) and multivariate (random forest nearest neighbor) methods. It also contains a small vegetation plot dataset to illustrate the type of information needed to support such an analysis.
This dataset contains the taxonomic classifications of environmental DNA (eDNA) sequences obtained from Fall Creek, Oregon, via microfluidic multiplex PCR (Fluidigm Access Array) and high-throughput sequencing. It is accompanied by electrofishing counts taken at the same time as the eDNA samples. Metadata and R scripts are provided to analyze the...
Movement in an important component of an animal’s life cycle when it relies on both aquatic and terrestrial habitats. When multiple species overlap in the use of these habitats, they rely on other methods to reduce competition for shared resources. This dataset measured the jumping performance and movement behavior of...
We examined long-term changes in daily streamflow associated with forestry practices with two datasets (this one and the original Alsea Streamflow dataset (1972) over a 60-year period (1959–2017) in the Alsea Watershed Study, Oregon Coast Range, Pacific Northwest, USA. In this contemporary period, 2006 to 2017 (12 water years), data...
In the future, Earth will be warmer, precipitation events will be more extreme, global mean sea level will rise, and many arid and semiarid regions will be drier. Human modifications of landscapes will also occur at an accelerated rate as developed areas increase in size and population density. We now...

This dataset consists of vascular plant species cover estimates collected from 12, 1x1-m quadrats, nested within 15x15-m plots that excluded and were open to wild ungulate access. The wild ungulate exclusion experiment was conducted in young forest plantations (<6 years old), each randomly assigned to one of 3 silvicultural herbicide...
