Virginia Coast Reserve site, station Hog Island Rodent Trapping Transect 5, study of animal abundance of Mus musculus in units of numberPerTrappingTransects 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 Virginia Coast Reserve (VCR)
contains animal abundance of Mus musculus measurements in numberPerTrappingTransects units
and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

EcoTrends项目由Debra Peters博士（若塔盆地长期生态研究站，美国农业部农业研究服务局若塔实验牧场）与Ariel Lugo博士（卢基略长期生态研究站，美国农业部林务局卢基略实验森林）于2004年创立，旨在支撑长期生态数据集的采集与分析工作。本项目为一项大规模综合研究计划，核心目标在于提升长期数据的可获取性与应用价值。目前，约有50个州政府及联邦资助的研究站点参与并向EcoTrends项目贡献数据，其中包含全部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服务局（United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, USDA-ARS）、美国农业部林务局（United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, USDA-FS）、美国能源部、美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey, USGS）及众多高校资助的各类站点。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页应用，为用户提供持续的数据整合与可访问性服务。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，常态化的数据整合工作通过手动与自动两种处理模式完成更新。本网络门户是若塔长期生态研究站与LTER网络办公室的合作成果。本次发布的弗吉尼亚海岸保护区（Virginia Coast Reserve, VCR）数据集，包含以每诱捕样线数量为单位的小家鼠（Mus musculus）种群丰度测量数据，且已按年尺度完成聚合。
