title: The Science of Recovery Plans database

description: In September 1998, the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB), with the full cooperation of USFWS, undertook a project to review and characterize existing recovery plans. The principal goals of the recovery plan review project were to compile an extensive detailed database on the content and characteristics of recovery plans, and to conduct quantitative analyses of these data to make useful recommendations for how the effectiveness and scientific rigor of recovery planning efforts could be improved. The project also provided a unique opportunity to undertake a large collaboration among graduate students and faculty at 19 different universities, and to facilitate communication between academic scientists and USFWS policy makers and resource managers. The project began in September 1998 with development of a detailed questionnaire that was used as the primary tool for data collection. The data-collection Instrument (as the questionnaire was called) guided reviewers to consider and record data about a broad range of topics regarding the attributes and information contained in each recovery plan. General topics included: descriptive attributes of the plan and the species it covered; species biology; threats to the species; prescribed management actions; monitoring; plan administration, and; the criteria against which recovery would be measured. Recovery plans for 181 species were reviewed during the project. The sample represented about 20 percent of all recovery plans, and was stratified to include plans for different taxonomic groups (vertebrates, invertebrates and plants), revised and unrevised recovery plans, single-species and multi-species recovery plans, and plans approved over a range of years (1977 to 1998). After all plans had been reviewed and data compiled, two workshops were held at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) in Santa Barabara, CA. The workshops were attended by student and faculty representatives from each seminar group. The purpose of these workshops was to initiate analyses of the recovery plan database. This project successfully accomplished the most detailed and comprehensive review of endangered species recovery plans yet conducted, and produced a rich database of information on the content and characteristics of these planning documents. Analyses of the database have identified many positive aspects of recovery plans, and also suggested specific ways in which the recovery planning process could be improved. The database will continue to be a valuable resource for detailed quantitative information on recovery plans. Abstract from http://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/recovery/synopsis.html.

title: Trajectories of restored California grassland communities: plant cover data

description: This experiment takes place in 36 gopher exclosures constructed in 1998 in an experimental planted perennial grassland. Each exclosures has an area of 400 square meters. These plots have been subjected to a factorial combination of nitrogen addition, burning and pocket gopher addition. We began the introduction of pocket gophers into the pens in the fall of 1999. We conducted controlled burns on 12 of the plots in the fall of 2000. Data include monthly soil moisture data and annual measurements of cover (1 m^2 pinframes), biomass production by species (0.2 m^2), and light (photosymthetically active radiation) at ground level.

title: Multiple Stable Equilibria or Competitive Superiority in California Grasslands: soil moisture data

description: We began work on this project in December of 1999 by setting up three large experiments in which we are investigating the relative importance of burning, watering, nitrogen deposition, and pocket gopher disturbance on the relative invasiblity of native perennial and exotic annual grasslands. As a part of setting up these experiments we established 136 plots which ranged in size from 9 to 25 square meters. These plots start out as either dominated by exotic annual or native perennial grasses. In addition to their initial composition, we subject these plots to a variety of treatments including seed additions, burning, nitrogen addition, watering, and pocket gopher exclusion. Data include annual sampling of plant cover (1 m2 pinframes), seed production and aboveground plant production (0.2 m2), as well as soil moisture and nutrient concentrations.

title: The Global Population Dynamics Database

description: As a source of animal and plant population data, The Global Population Dynamics Database is unrivalled. Nearly five thousand separate time series are available here. In addition to all the population counts, there are taxonomic details of over 1400 species. The type of data contained in the GPDD varies enormously, from annual counts of mammals or birds at individual sampling sites, to weekly counts of zooplankton and other marine fauna.

The type of data contained in the GPDD varies enormously, from annual counts of mammals or birds at individual sampling sites, to weekly counts of zooplankton and other marine fauna. The project commenced in October 1994, following discussions on ways in which the collaborating partners could make a practical and enduring contribution to research into population dynamics. A small team was assembled and, with assistance and advice from numerous interested parties we decided to construct the database using the popular Microsoft Access platform. After an initial design phase, the major task has been that of locating, extracting, entering and validating the data in all the various tables. Now, nearly 5000 individual datasets have been entered onto the GPDD. The Global Population Dynamics Database comprises six Tables of data and information. The tables are linked to each other as shown in the diagram shown at http://cpbnts1.bio.ic.ac.uk/gpdd/Structur.htm. Referential integrity is maintained through record ID numbers which are held, along with other information in the Main Table. It's structure obeys all the rules of a standard relational database.
