Maple River Dam Removal Stream Ecology Data
Over the past two decades, dam removal has become an increasingly important aspect of aquatic ecology. The motivation for the removal broadly ranges from purely ecological terms, restoring stream or river connectivity, through safety concerns, as...
University of Michigan Biological Station Weather Observations 1980 to Present
This data set includes daily year-round weather measurements and observations recorded at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) from 1980-present. Data primarily serves the purpose of benefitting UMBS researchers needing access to...

Physical & Chemical Parameters from Lakes in Northern Lower Michigan for RANN Campaign: 1972-1975
Research Applied to National Needs (RANN) was an National Science Foundation (NSF) program in the 1970s. The RANN program at UMBS was run by Dr. John E Gannon.
Data for Spatial, but not temporal, aspects of orientation are controlled by the fine scale distribution of chemical cues in turbulent odor plumes
Orientation within turbulent odor plumes occurs across a vast range of spatial and temporal scales. From salmon homing across featureless oceans to microbes forming reproductive spores, the extraction of spatial and temporal information from...
Data set for Running away or running to? Do prey make decisions solely based on the landscape of fear or do they also include stimuli from a landscape of safety?
In this data, you’ll find crayfish movement data (walking speeds and times spent in different sections of the test arena) as a response to differing concentrations and types of fear cues (predatory and alarm cues) as well as differing levels of...
Ozone Concentations and Ozone Flux 2002-2005 at the UMBS PROPHET Tower
Measurements of ozone, sensible heat, and latent heat fluxes and plant physiological parameters were made at a northern mixed hardwood forest located at the University of Michigan Biological Station in northern Michigan from June 27 to September...

50 Year plots and replicates
In 1938, 6 0.1 acre tree census plots were established on the UMBS property. In these "50 Year" plots, all trees were given ID tags, and had DBH censuses conducted at irregular intervals through 2001. In Plot 6, information about shrub count...
