In recent decades, lakes have experienced unprecedented ice loss with widespread ramifications for winter ecological processes. The rapid of ice, resurgence biology, and proliferation remote sensing technologies, presents a unique opportunity to integrate disciplines further understand the broad spatial temporal patterns in its consequences. Here, we summarize phenology records 78 12 countries across North America, Europe, Asia permit inclusion harmonization situ observations future...
Climate change and other anthropogenic stressors have led to long-term changes in the thermal structure, including surface temperatures, deepwater vertical gradients, many lakes around world. Though studies highlight warming of water temperatures worldwide, less is known about trends full structure which been changing consistently both direction magnitude. Here, we present a globally-expansive data set summertime in-situ temperature profiles from 153 lakes, with one time series beginning as...
For 88 years (1931-present), the Mohonk Preserve's Daniel Smiley Research Center has been collecting data on occupancy and reproductive success of amphibian species, as well associated water quality 11 vernal pools each spring (February to May). Though sampling effort varied over dataset range, size is unprecedented within field ecology. With more than 2,480 individual species dates 151,701 recorded occurrences nine described represents longest largest time-series herpetological with paired...
Abstract As anthropogenic climate change alters species’ phenology, phenological shifts may cascade to disrupt species interactions impact ecosystem functioning. We present a 108-year phenology dataset of 8,840 event dates for 251 phenophases seven amphibian species, 58 birds, 14 insects, and 163 plant including 52 introduced New York. The was collected at single location in the Northeastern United States, providing continuity monitoring since early 1900s. show that linear analyses can...
Abstract Invasive plants in the riparian zone can negatively affect characteristics and quality of a watershed. To support development watershed management plan foster public appreciation value zone, Mohonk Preserve established volunteer monitoring program surveying sites for invasive species. Between 2017 2019, citizen scientists repeatedly surveyed 20 Hudson River Valley New York 10 plant species: purple loosestrife ( Lythrum salicaria L.), common reed [ Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin....
