Shortgrass Steppe site, stations Central Plains Experimental RangeMeteorological Station 11, study of air temperature (mean minimum) in units of celsius 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 Shortgrass Steppe (SGS)
contains air temperature (mean minimum) measurements in celsius units
and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

EcoTrends项目由黛布拉·彼得斯博士（乔达纳盆地长期生态研究站，美国农业部农业研究局[USDA-ARS]乔达纳实验牧场）与阿里尔·卢戈博士（卢奎洛长期生态研究站，美国农业部林务局[USDA-FS]卢奎洛实验林）于2004年创立，旨在支撑长期生态数据集的采集与分析工作。本项目为一项大型综合研究计划，核心目标在于提升长期数据的可获取性与应用效率。目前，已有约50个由州政府及联邦政府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局（ARS）、美国农业部林务局、美国能源部、美国地质调查局（USGS）及众多高校资助的相关站点。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。作为长期生态研究溯源感知综合跟踪架构（Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture, PASTA）的组成部分，持续进行的数据汇编工作通过人工与自动两种处理方式完成更新。本网络门户由乔达纳LTER站点与LTER网络办公室合作打造。本次介绍的短草草原（Shortgrass Steppe, SGS）数据集包含以摄氏度为单位的空气平均最低温测量值，且已聚合至年度时间尺度。
