Data for Ornate Box Turtle (Terrapene ornata) Emergence

These data were used to make a predictive model of when ornate box turtles (Terrapene ornata) are likely to be above ground and at risk from fire. The data were generated using shell temperatures, soil temperatures at 0.35 m deep from known overwintering sites, and the spring and fall soil temperature inversion dates during 2019–2022 to infer if 26 individual radio-tracked turtles were above or below ground at three sites in Illinois.

本数据集用于构建预测模型，以研判锦箱龟（Terrapene ornata）出露地面、面临火灾风险的时段。该数据集依托2019-2022年间采集的龟壳体温、已知越冬位点处0.35米深度的土壤温度，以及春秋季土壤温度反转日期，对伊利诺伊州3个研究位点内26只经无线电追踪的锦箱龟个体的地面活动状态（地面以上或地下）进行推断。
