Abstract:

This data was collected from 1983-1985 as part of the Jornada Basin LTER program. Grasshoppers were sampled from nine plots on the east bajada of the Dona Ana Mts. Three plots were situated on the bajada parallel to and 200 m south of the LTER-I transect. Two additional sets of three plots were located 5 km and 10 km south of the LTER transect. Each plot is composed of two 50 m belt transects, each divided into ten 5 m2 quadrats. Grasshoppers were visually sampled in each quadrat/plot each May, July, and September of 1983, 1984, and 1985. For each individual grasshopper, its age, sex, and substrate it was observed on were recorded.

This dataset consists of the date of collection, plot number, transect number, quadrat number, grasshopper species, substrate, sex, and age. This dataset is complete.

Sampling design

=======================================

This data was collected from 1983-1985 as part of the Jornada Basin LTER program.

Grasshoppers were sampled from nine plots on the east bajada of the Dona Ana Mts. Three plots were situated on the bajada parallel to and 200 m south of the LTER-I transect. Two additional sets of three plots were located 5 km and 10 km south of the LTER transect. Each plot is composed of two 50 m belt transects, each divided into ten 5 m2 quadrats. Grasshoppers were visually sampled in each quadrat/plot each May, July, and September of 1983, 1984,, and 1985. For each individual grasshopper, its age, sex, and substrate it was observed on were recorded.

This dataset consists of the date of collection, plot number, transect number, quadrat number, grasshopper species, substrate, sex, and age.

Additional Files

An additional metadata file - jgrashop.dsd.txt - from the earlier Jornada information management system is included and may contain useful metadata.

A list of species codes - JornadaGrasshopperDatasetCodes.txt - is included and should be used alongside the dataset to identify “Grasshopper Species” and “Substrate” attribute codes.
