Abstract:

This dataset contains water year precipitation collected from meteorological stations, litter and vegetation cover values derived from overhead photos, and litter and soil accumulation in lateral photos in a long-term experiment (2013-2021) of cross-scale interactions (CSIs) at the Jornada Basin LTER site in southern New Mexico, U.S.A. Manipulations 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. Litter, soil, and vegetation cover were estimated using repeat overhead photographs of microplots within treatment and control plots. Litter and soil accumulation were estimated from lateral photos of ConMods. Daily precipitation data collected from 13 meteorological stations were used to calculate water year (1 October-30 September) precipitation from 2013 through 2021. This dataset provides supporting data for the manuscript "GROWING GRASSES IN THE DESERT: CROSS-SCALE INTERACTIONS LEAD TO STATE CHANGE REVERSAL IN DRYLANDS" by Peters et al.

Description:

Experimental design

Our experimental design consisted 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 15m x 25m plots were identified with similar percentage grass and shrub cover with a focal patch in the center. Plots were arrayed perpendicular lengthwise to the dominant southwest to northeast wind direction, and were >15 m apart to minimize between-plot treatment effects.

Each 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 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.

Plant-scale manipulations (+WPI)

At the plant scale, repeat photos of ten randomly selected ConMod microplots and ten randomly selected control microplots were taken annually at peak growing season (September) from 2013 to 2021. Standardized overhead photos were used to estimate perennial grass cover as our response variable, and cover of forbs (annual and perennial), annual grasses, and litter as fine-scale factors that could influence grass cover by providing favorable microhabitats for grass seedlings (litter) or by competing with perennial grass plants (forbs, annual grasses). Overhead photos were collected from 2013 to 2021, and image analysis software was used to classify 100 random points by species, soil or litter (USDA SamplePoint software; Booth et al. 2006, Peters et al. 2020). Species cover in each year was summed to obtain functional group cover: annual grasses or forbs.

Patch-scale manipulations (+WPa)

Lateral photos obtained from the same microplot locations as overhead photos were used to estimate the redistribution of soil and litter by wind and water from bare interspaces to ConMods or to herbaceous plant canopies. Lateral imagery was collected from 2013 to 2017 at ground level from each cardinal direction to estimate the vertical accumulation of soil and litter (hereafter "litter"). The area between the tops and sides of each ConMod’s outer rods and the top contour of the combined litter and soil surface was determined (methods described in Peters et al 2020; SigmaScan pro 5.0: Systat Software, Inc. San Jose, CA USA) using Trace Measurement Mode with Area and Distance measurement options. The area difference between years for the same ConMod was a measure of the change in vertical accumulation of litter or soil. Lateral photos were discontinued after 2017 when density and cover of herbaceous plants made the analysis of litter and soil accumulation difficult and prone to error.

Landscape-scale factors

Factors at the landscape scale were initial shrub cover based on classified imagery from the Quickbird satellite mission in 2011 and water year precipitation. Quickbird source imagery used in the classification should be available at https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/catalog/quickbird-2-esa-archive. Daily precipitation data from 13 weather stations spatially distributed throughout the study area were summed for the water year (1 October to 31 September). For each block, precipitation from the nearest weather station was used in the analysis. These weather station datasets are referenced in the Data Provenance metadata element.
