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...
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...

Hyphae biomass at the individual tree and plot level for FASET and Ameriflux
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...

Taxa of northern Michigan (northern lower and eastern upper peninsulas)
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...
UMBS Trails and Roads - 2022
Trails and roads layer updated from high resolution DEM from 2015 LiDAR.
Landscape Ecosystem Classification Soils and Vegetation Plots Data at the University of Michigan Biological Station, Pellston, Michigan from 1988 to 2001
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...
