Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve site, station NADP Station MN01, Cedar Creek, MN, study of nitrogen from ammonium in wet deposition in units of kilogramsPerHectare on a monthly 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 Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve (CDR)
contains nitrogen from ammonium in wet deposition measurements in kilogramsPerHectare units
and were aggregated to a monthly timescale.

生态趋势（EcoTrends）项目由黛布拉·彼得斯博士（乔达纳盆地长期生态研究站，USDA-ARS乔达纳实验牧场）与阿里尔·卢戈博士（卢奎洛长期生态研究站，USDA-FS卢奎洛实验森林）于2004年创立，旨在支撑长期生态数据集的采集与分析工作。本项目为大型综合研究计划，核心目标是提升长期数据的可获取性与利用率。目前已有约50个由州政府与联邦政府资助的研究站点参与并向生态趋势项目贡献数据，其中涵盖全部26个长期生态研究（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）站点，以及美国农业部农业研究服务局（ARS）、美国农业部林务局、美国能源部、美国地质调查局（USGS）与众多高校资助的研究站点。生态趋势项目的数据集可通过探索性网络门户（http://www.ecotrends.info）获取。该网络门户依托交互式网络应用，助力用户持续开展数据汇编与数据获取工作。作为长期生态研究溯源感知综合跟踪架构（Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture, PASTA）的组成部分，持续进行的数据汇编工作通过手动与自动两种处理方式完成更新。该网络门户由乔达纳LTER站与LTER网络办公室联合开发运营。本研究使用的雪松溪生态科学保护区（CDR）数据集，包含以千克每公顷为单位的湿沉降铵态氮含量数据，且已被聚合至月度时间尺度。
