title: Multisource Field Plot Data for Studies of Vegetation Alliances: Northwestern USA

description: Although vegetation alliances defined and described in the U.S. National Vegetation Classification are used as a fundamental unit of habitat for modeling species distributions and for conservation assessments, little is known about their ecological characteristics, either generally or individually. A major barrier to understanding alliances better is the lack of primary biotic and physical data about them. In particular, few alliance or association descriptions of the USNVC are based directly on original field plot data. Such data do not exist in the quantity or over the geographic extents necessary, and new field work to acquire such data is unlikely. This study attempts to learn about the efficacy of and limitations to developing the data needed by integrating existing information from multiple sources and themes across the Inland Northwest of the USA. Almost 40,000 field plot records from 11 different sources were integrated, sorted, and evaluated to generate a single standardized database from which plots were classified a priori as members of alliances. Additional data sets of climate, biomass productivity, and morphological traits of plant species were also integrated with the field plot data. The plot records were filtered for eight univariate parameters, species names were standardized, and multivariate outliers of species composition were identified and removed. Field plot records were extracted from the data sets with SQL statements based on existing descriptions of alliances, and these subsets were tested against a null model. Ultimately 21% of the field plots were classified to 49 vegetation alliances. Field plot classifications were corroborated with a nonmetric multidimensional scaling ordination. This study resulted in a large set of primary data critical for the study of vegetation alliances. It shows that it is possible to develop synthetic vegetation field plot data sets from existing multisource information.

title: MycoDB: Database for meta-analyses of mycorrhizal inoculation

description: MycoDB is a web-based tool developed for the purpose of compiling data on mycorrhizal experiments. A web tool allows multiple collaborators to contribute information at different times from various locations, while still maintaining the integrity of the data. We hope to use this database to perform meta-analyses to synthesize the currently disparate body of empirical work on mycorrhizal function within communities and ecosystems.

title: DETERMINING PAN-TROPICAL PATTERNS OF LIANA DISTRIBUTIONS FROM REGIONAL DATASETS

description: This dataset contains information on the abundance, basal area, and species identity for more than 80,000 lianas from tropical forests located in Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. We have compiled this dataset to determine the distribution of lianas (abundance, biomass, and diversity) across large geographic regions and abiotic gradients throughout the tropics.

title: Life History Characteristics of Non-Volant Placental Mammals

description: The purpose of this data set was to compile general life history characteristics for a variety of mammalian species to perform comparative life history analyses among different taxa and different body size groups. Data were collected from the literature, and data sources are documented for each species within the data file. Since life history characteristics will show minor variation with environmental conditions (resource availability, climate, competitive environment, and predation pressure) a general life history for each species was sought to average over minor differences in local populations. To create a general life history for each species, life history values are often an average from several literature sources. Life history variables included in the data set are: Maximum Lifespan (months), Age of First Reproduction (months), Gestation time (months), Weaning age (months), Weaning Mass (grams), Litter size (months), litters per year, newborn mass (grams), and adult body mass (grams). Since these data were collected with the intent to examine general life history patterns, these data are good for examining large-scale patterns, specifically in comparing life history characteristics for different orders or families of mammals. All orders of placental mammals, except Chiroptera (bats) are represented in this data set: Artiodactyla (161 species), Carnivora (197), Cetacea (55 species), Dermoptera (2 species), Hydracoidea (4 species), Insectivora (91 species), Lagomorpha (42 species), Macroscelidea (10 species), Perissodactyla (15 species), Pholidota (7 species), Primates (156 species), Proboscidea (2 species), Rodentia (665 species), Scandentia (7 species), Sirenia (5 species), Tubulidentata (1 species), and Xenarthra (20 species). There are two caveats on this data set, however. First, these data are not appropriate for asking population-level questions where the integration of life history parameters with specific environmental conditions is important. Second, while this data set is extensive, it is not exhaustive. The creation of an exhaustive data set is the ultimate goal, but that goal is still several years from completion. In the meantime, researchers utilizing the data set are urged to conduct their own search for data not reported within the current data set. Researchers are also encouraged to contact the author of the data set and alert her to literature sources containing data for missing variables or species. The updated data set will be made available to Ecological Archives periodically.
