Abstract:

This dataset contains plant and litter cover estimates derived from overhead photos collected from microplots in a long-term experiment (2013-present) of cross-scale interactions (CSIs) at the Jornada Basin LTER site in southern New Mexico, U.S.A. Experimental treatments were initiated in 2013 at 15 experimental blocks, each with 4 treatment plots: plant-scale herbicide of mesquite shrubs, patch-scale connectivity modifiers (ConMods), herbicide + ConMods, control without manipulations. Repeat, overhead (downward-looking) photographs of ten "microplots" in each plot were taken for estimation of litter, soil, and vegetation cover in the experimental treatment and control plots over time. Photographs were rotated and then cropped to provide standardized areas, and then were analyzed with USDA SamplePoint software to determine coverage by ~27 plant, litter or other cover classes on a 100 point grid. Raw and corrected cover estimates are provided. This study is ongoing and new data will be added annually. Cover estimates are derived from photos in EDI dataset knb-lter-jrn.210413004.

Description:

Experimental design

The experimental design for the Cross-Scale Interactions study (CSIs) consists of 15 - 1 ha blocks spatially distributed across the study area selected to have similar total percentage vegetation cover within a block, but to vary in the proportion of perennial grass and mesquite cover among blocks. At each block location, four 15 x 25 meter experimental plots were identified with similar percentage grass and shrub cover. Within an experimental plot was a buffer area, an 8 x 8 meter treatment or control subplot (the "focal patch"), and 8 x 8 meter upwind and downwind subplots. Each experimental plot was arrayed perpendicular lengthwise to the dominant southwest to northeast wind direction, and was placed > 15 meters away from the other experimental plots to minimize between-plot treatment effects. Excluding the buffer zones, the distance between focal patches and subplots in different experimental plots ranges from > 20 to ~40 meters.

Each experimental plot within a block was randomly assigned to one of four connectivity treatments: (1) plant scale where all mesquite plants within and surrounding the focal patch were killed in place with herbicide to modify competitive interactions between woody plants and recovery of perennial grasses and other herbaceous plants with no direct effects on horizontal transport by wind and water, (2) patch scale where Connectivity Modifiers (ConMods, Okin et al. 2015) were located in bare soil interspaces between plants in the focal patch to reduce gap size and to modify transport of water, soil, nutrients, litter, and herbaceous seeds, (3) both patch- and plant-scale manipulations were conducted in each focal patch, and (4) no manipulations [controls]. Block and plot selection were completed in June 2012 followed by the characterization of initial vegetation cover in all plots in June 2013 when treatments were initiated.

Assignment of treatments to experimental plots (by block) is described in the attached files "csis_treatment_key.csv" and "Study413_CSIS_Plot_Treatments.pdf".

Overhead photo collection and analysis

In each plot (4 per block), repeat overhead photos of ten randomly selected microplots were photographed annually. Photos were taken from directly above the microplot (overhead, or downward-looking orientation) from a height of approximately 85cm above ground level using a 12.1 megapixel digital camera, resulting in image dimensions of 4,000 x 3,000 pixels. In ConMod-only and ConMod + Herbicide treatments, photos were centered over the center post of the ConMod structure, and in Control and Herbicide-only plots photos were centered over a marker nail affixed to the soil surface. Annual photos were taken in winter (Jan-Feb) from 2013-2016 to try to better distinguish perennial grass from annual plant biomass. In 2017 the method changed and photos were taken near peak biomass during the growing season (July-Sept) in order to better capture and identify living biomass. Images were archived for later analysis of plant growth and litter accumulation within the microplots.

These images were standardized and then analyzed for percent cover by approximately 27 plant, litter, and other cover categories using USDA SamplePoint software(Booth et al. 2006, Peters et al. 2020). Before cover analysis, photos were standardized by rotating and then cropping to 50 cm x 50 cm with the image centered over the footprint of the microplot. A grid of 100 points was sampled in each image and assigned to one of the 27 cover type categories. Percent cover by each category was calculated by first subtracting cover points coming from ConMod structures and outside mesquite branches from the 100 point grid to produce an "actual" total cover value, then dividing the cover points from each desired cover category by this number. Several of the cover types in the resulting data file overlap and can be summed to obtain functional group covers such as annual grasses or forbs. Data here include grid size (100), actual cover (100-(ConMods & outside branches)), grid counts by type, and percent cover by type.

Abstract:

Dryland ecosystems occupy nearly half of the Earth's land surface and provide goods and services for more than 1 billion people. The goal of the Jornada Basin Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program is to understand what factors determine the structure and function of drylands, and to develop general principles governing changes between grassland and shrubland ecosystems. This research is based on long-term data collected in the Chihuahuan Desert. We translate our findings to dryland ecosystems around the world, and forecast the dynamics of future ecosystem states in response to changing climate and land use.
