Santa Barbara Coastal site, station Santa Barbara County, CA (FIPS 6083), study of percent urban population 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 percent urban population measurements in percent units
and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

EcoTrends项目由Debra Peters博士（霍洛拉迪盆地长期生态研究站（Jornada Basin LTER）、美国农业部农业研究局霍洛拉迪实验牧场（USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range））与Ariel Lugo博士（卢奎洛长期生态研究站（Luquillo LTER）、美国农业部林业局卢奎洛实验森林（USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest））于2004年发起成立，旨在支撑长期生态数据集的采集与分析工作。
本项目属于大型综合研究工作，核心目标为提升长期生态数据的可获取性与应用价值。目前共有约50个州级与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（US Geological Survey, USGS）与众多高校资助的站点。
EcoTrends项目的数据可通过探索型网络门户（http://www.ecotrends.info）获取。该门户依托交互式Web应用程序，支持用户持续开展数据汇编与数据获取工作。作为长期生态研究站溯源感知综合跟踪架构（LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture, PASTA）的组成部分，持续推进的数据汇编工作通过手动与自动两种处理模式完成更新。
本网络门户由霍洛拉迪LTER与LTER网络办公室合作开发。本次发布的圣巴巴拉海岸（Santa Barbara Coastal, SBC）数据集包含以百分比为单位的城市人口占比实测数据，并已聚合至年度时间尺度。
