Two foundational questions about sustainability are “How ecosystems and the services they provide going to change in future?” do human decisions affect these trajectories?” Answering requires an ability forecast ecological processes. Unfortunately, most forecasts focus on centennial-scale climate responses, therefore neither meeting needs of near-term (daily decadal) environmental decision-making nor allowing comparison specific, quantitative predictions new observational data, one strongest...
Abstract The occurrence and causes of abrupt transitions, thresholds, or regime shifts between ecosystem states are great concern the likelihood such transitions is increasing for many ecological systems. General understanding has been advanced by theory, but hindered lack a common, accessible, data-driven approach to characterizing them. We apply an 30–60 years data on environmental drivers, biological responses, associated evidence from pelagic ocean, coastal benthic, polar marine,...
Given that ecological effects of disturbance have been extensively studied in many ecosystems, it is surprising few quantitative syntheses across diverse ecosystems conducted. Multi-system studies tend to be qualitative because they focus on types are difficult measure an ecologically relevant way. In addition, synthesis existing systems or challenging sufficient information needed for analysis not easily available. Theoretical advances and improved predictions can advanced by...
Automated processing of environmental data is hindered by the wide array unit representations provided in metadata digital datasets. For example, gm/m2, g/m2, gm-2, g/m^2, g.m-2 and gramPerMeterSquared are all a single complex that might be human-readable but not machine-interpretable. Connecting ad hoc units to concept an ontology permits identification datasets sharing provides additional information regarding labels, definitions, dimensions transformations ontology. Here we use successive...
Global environmental challenges, such as climate change, transcend international borders, requiring a unified approach to data management and analysis. The Ecosystem Research Infrastructure (GERI) was founded address this need, building relationships establishing sharing practices among six of the largest ecosystem research infrastructures in world. Data harmonization is required standardize ingest products from these into findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable (FAIR) global dataset....
Ecological studies require quality data to describe the nature of ecological processes and advance understanding ecosystem change. Increasing access big has magnified both burden complexity ensuring data. The costs errors in ecology include low use data, increased time spent cleaning poor reproducibility that can result a misunderstanding dynamics, all which erode efficacy trust research. Although conceptual technological advances have improved management, cultural shift is needed embed as...
Abstract A quality management system is critical for ensuring that the data and services provided by an organization meet needs of its mission. With a mission to collect long‐term open‐access ecological better understand how US ecosystems are changing, National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) highly standardized measurement network distributed across United States Puerto Rico collecting on biosphere interfaces with pedosphere, hydrosphere atmosphere. In order achieve high‐quality,...
Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a continental-scale program intended to provide open data, samples, and infrastructure understand changing ecosystems for period of 30 years.NEON collects co-located measurements drivers environmental change biological responses, using standardized methods at 81 field sites systematically sample variability trends enable inferences regional continental scales.Alongside key atmospheric variables, NEON measures the biodiversity many taxa, including...
Omic BON is a thematic Biodiversity Observation Network under the Group on Earth Observations (GEO BON), focused coordinating observation of biomolecules in organisms and environment. Our founding partners include representatives from national, regional, global observing systems; standards organizations; data sample management infrastructures. By strategies, methods, flows, will facilitate co-creation omics meta-observatory to generate actionable knowledge. Here, we present key elements...
In most groups of electric fish, the current-producing cells organs (EOs) derive from striated muscle fibers but retain some phenotypic characteristics their precursor cells. Given role MyoD family myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) in transcriptional activation program vertebrates, we examined expression electrocytes gymnotiform Sternopygus macrurus. We estimated number MRF genes S. macrurus genome and our Southern blot analyses revealed a single MyoD, myogenin, myf5 MRF4 gene. Quantitative...
<p class="p1">Environmental research data repositories provide much needed services for preservation and dissemination to diverse communities with domain specific or programmatic needs standards. Due independent development these serve their well, but were developed different technologies, models using ontologies. Hence, the effectiveness efficiency of can be vastly improved if work together adhering a shared community platform that focuses on implementation agreed upon standards best...
The National Science Foundation's Large Facilities are major, multi-user research facilities that operate and manage sophisticated diverse instruments platforms (e.g., large telescopes, interferometers, distributed sensor arrays) serve a variety of scientific disciplines, from astronomy physics to geology biology beyond. increasingly dependent on advanced cyberinfrastructure (i.e., computing, data, software systems; networking; associated human capital) enable the broad delivery analysis...
Despite the influence of drought on ecosystem functions and human well-being, there are significant uncertainties in our understanding impacts for ecosystems humanity. Over past decade, large Environmental Research Infrastructures (ERIs) have been implemented around world to advance responses biosphere environmental change. These emergent ERIs now provide a unique opportunity ecological processes, such as drought, across continents, decades, disciplinary boundaries. Against this backdrop, 6...
