Santa Barbara Coastal site, station Santa Cruz Island, Twin Harbor West, Santa Barbara Channel, study of plant cover of Taonia in units of percent 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 Barbara Coastal (SBC) contains plant cover of Taonia measurements in percent units and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.EcoTrends项目（EcoTrends project）于2004年由黛布拉·彼得斯博士（Debra Peters，美国农业部农业研究服务局约尔纳达实验牧场约尔纳达流域长期生态研究站，USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range）与阿里尔·卢戈博士（Ariel Lugo，美国农业部森林服务局卢奎略实验森林卢奎略长期生态研究站，Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest）发起创立，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获取性与利用效率。目前已有约50个州级及联邦政府资助的研究站点参与并为EcoTrends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，以及由美国农业部农业研究服务局（USDA Agriculture Research Service, ARS）、美国农业部森林服务局（USDA Forest Service）、美国能源部（US Department of Energy）、美国地质调查局（US Geological Survey, USGS）与众多高校资助的研究站点。 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，为用户提供持续开展数据汇编与数据获取的服务。作为LTER溯源感知综合跟踪架构（Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture, PASTA）的组成部分，当前正在推进的数据汇编工作通过人工与自动双轨处理机制持续更新。该网络门户由约尔纳达LTER站与LTER网络办公室合作开发。 本项来自圣巴巴拉海岸（Santa Barbara Coastal, SBC）的数据集包含以百分比为单位的Taonia植被盖度实测数据，且已按年度时间尺度完成聚合处理。
