Santa Rita Experimental Range site, station Pasture 8 at Santa Rita Experimental Range, study of plant density of Erioneuron pulchellum in units of numberPerMeterSquared on a yearly timescale

The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters
(Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and
Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest)
to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets.
The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility
and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded
research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project,
including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by
the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service,
US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal
(http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data
compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application.
Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic
processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking
Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER
and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from Santa Rita Experimental Range (SRE)
contains plant density of Erioneuron pulchellum measurements in numberPerMeterSquared units
and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

EcoTrends项目由Debra Peters博士（约拿盆地长期生态研究（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）站点，美国农业部农业研究局（USDA-ARS）约拿实验牧场）与Ariel Lugo博士（卢奎略长期生态研究（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）站点，美国农业部林务局（USDA-FS）卢奎略实验林）于2004年创立，旨在支撑长期生态数据集的采集与分析工作。该项目为大型综合研究计划，核心目标是提升长期生态数据的可及性与利用率。目前共有约50个州级与联邦政府资助的研究站点参与EcoTrends项目并贡献数据，其中涵盖全部26个长期生态研究（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）站点，以及由美国农业部农业研究局（ARS）、美国农业部林务局（USDA-FS）、美国能源部、美国地质调查局（USGS）与多所高校资助的站点。EcoTrends项目的数据可通过探索性网络门户（http://www.ecotrends.info）获取。该门户依托交互式网络应用程序，支持用户持续开展数据汇编与数据获取工作。作为长期生态研究网溯源感知综合跟踪架构（Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture, PASTA）的组成部分，持续推进的数据汇编工作通过人工与自动两种处理模式完成更新。本网络门户由约拿LTER站点与LTER网络办公室联合共建。本次提供的圣丽塔实验牧场（Santa Rita Experimental Range, SRE）数据集，包含以每平方米数量为单位的Erioneuron pulchellum种群密度测量数据，且已按年度时间尺度完成聚合。
