Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Stream Biology Camera Traps, 2020-2024

This dataset comprises daily images positioned to view streams above the weirs at Hubbard Brook for watersheds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9. Cameras are programmed to take one image per day at ~12:00 pm ET. Each file is timestamped with the image metadata, but also within the file name, and structured to enable temporal trend analysis for end-users. The cameras used are BUSHNELL model number 119R3, and data are collected on SIM cards and manually downloaded every six months. Data gaps are minimal and generally associated with battery failures. These data are designed to capture stream dynamics over time for the purpose of visual pattern analysis, environmental monitoring, and machine learning applications. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
