Florida Coastal Everglades site, station Taylor Slough Trexler Site TSC, study of plant density of Potamogeton illinoensis 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 Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE)
contains plant density of Potamogeton illinoensis measurements in numberPerMeterSquared units
and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

EcoTrends项目由黛布拉·彼得斯博士（乔尔达纳盆地长期生态研究网（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER），美国农业部农业研究局（USDA-ARS）乔尔达纳实验牧场）与阿里尔·卢戈博士（卢奎洛长期生态研究网（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER），美国农业部林业局（USDA-FS）卢奎洛实验林）于2004年创立，旨在为长期生态数据集的采集与分析工作提供支持。
该项目是一项大型综合研究计划，核心目标在于提升长期生态数据的可获取性与应用效能。
目前，约有50个由州政府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个长期生态研究网（LTER）站点，以及由美国农业部农业研究局（Agricultural Research Service, ARS）、美国农业部林业局、美国能源部、美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey, USGS）及众多高校资助的研究站点。
EcoTrends项目的数据集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相关工作。
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将通过人工与自动两种处理方式完成更新。
该网络门户是乔尔达纳LTER与LTER网络办公室的合作成果。
以下来自佛罗里达海岸大沼泽地（Florida Coastal Everglades, FCE）的数据集，包含以每平方米数量为单位的伊利诺伊眼子菜（Potamogeton illinoensis）植株密度测量数据，且已按年度时间尺度完成聚合。
