The University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) was founded in 1909.
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...
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...
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...
Data are drawn from hyphae bags placed either under specific trees of different species or randomly dispersed around sample plots. Total hyphae biomass and hyphae nitrogen and carbon composition figures are included. Data were collected and...
A set of biological inventories for Northern Michigan. The species list are not specific to the biological station footprint, but represent the general area. Taxa lists will be attributed by compilers of the list, not the original observer or...
Trails and roads layer updated from high resolution DEM from 2015 LiDAR.
Landscape ecosystems are a means of understanding the spatial patterns of and the functional interrelationships in forest ecosystems. Landscape ecosystem research is a multifactor, holistic approach to identifying, classifying, describing, and...
There is growing need to quantify and communicate how land use and management activities influence soil organic carbon (SOC) at scales relevant to, and in the tangible control of landowners and forest managers. The continued proliferation of...
This dataset contains spatial information collected about major land uses and modifications on UMBS property after the logging era (~1880). Data is drawn from personal interviews and UMBS historical records. A separate file is provided for the...
Several researchers have mapped the dominant forest cover of UMBS properties at several points in history. The original maps were created using on-the-ground reconnaissance and traditional surveying techniques. Most maps describe only dominant...
