UMBS Aspen Associations - Plant Ecology course collected tree counts, stump counts, and ground flora counts from 1939 to 1954
Starting in the summer of 1928, FC Gates led systematic measurements of forest vegetation with the Plant Ecology class until 1954. Some of the measurements were taken in randomly located quadrants within specific stands and taken in the same area...

UMBS 2017 Prescribed Burn Single-Particle Mass Spectra, October 2017
This dataset corresponds to 5,500 single-particle, dual-polarity mass spectra of biomass burning particles measured from a mobile laboratory during the 2017 prescribed burn at the University of Michigan Biological Station near Pellston, Michigan...
Overstory and understory leaf nitrogen and carbon content at FASET in 2012
Measurements of weight percent leaf nitrogen and carbon for four tree species in overstory and understory position were recorded at the FASET Tower study area. Sampling took place in summer of 2012 at the University of Michigan Biological Station...

The expression of an individual animal’s behaviour can be placed along many different personality spectra. Parasite load can alter animal behaviour and, thus, fitness. The personality traits of rusty crayfish, Faxonius rusticus, were analysed in...
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...
