The data set consists of strontium (Sr) isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr), water isotopes, soil cation concentrations, soil water potential sensor data, and results of 87Sr/86Sr mixing model. The plant canopy size files include the dataset of canopy dimension of sagebrush, lupine, and sunflower. The soil a

The package contains data layers developed and used in Falco et al. 2024: “EcoImaging: Advanced Sensing to Investigate Plant and Abiotic Hierarchical Spatial Patterns in Mountainous Watersheds". The package is part of the DOE Watershed Function Science Focus Area (SFA) project and includes geophysic

Abstract Chemical weathering in mountain critical zones controls river chemistry and regulates long‐term climate. Mountain landscapes contain diverse landforms created by geomorphic processes, including landslides, glacial moraines, and rock glaciers. These landforms generate unique flowpaths and wa

Abstract Despite the crucial role of bioaerosol particles (BAP) in our climate system, local ecosystems, and human health, our grasp on their atmospheric interactions is hampered by a lack of high‐resolution and long‐term data, which is essential for understanding their abundance and variability in

Abstract Mountains create and enhance their own clouds, which both scatter and absorb shortwave radiation from the sun and absorb and re‐emit land surface and atmospheric longwave radiation. However, the impacts of clouds on the surface radiation balance in high elevation snowy mountain terrain are

Although we found some evidence for the effect of a biotic interaction depending on abiotic conditions, it was only for one aspect of reproduction in one species, and it was in an unexpected direction. Our work highlights interactions between the abiotic and biotic components of the environment as a

The causes for preference-performance mismatches in a specialist native herbivore laying eggs on an invasive toxic plant are investigated, and genes related to successful detoxification and adaptive feeding were enriched in larvae feeding on native plants and toxic plants.

Riparian floodplains are important regions for biogeochemical cycling, including nitrogen. Here, we present MAGs from nitrifying microorganisms, including ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and comammox bacteria from Slate River (SR) floodplain sediments (Crested Bute, CO, US). Addi�onally, we explore MA

Climate change is disrupting floral traits that mediate mutualistic and antagonistic species interactions. Plastic responses of these traits to multiple shifting conditions may be adaptive, depending on natural selection in new environments. We manipulated snowmelt date over three seasons (3-11 d ea

How phenotypes are shaped by multilevel selection-the theoretical framework proposing natural selection occurs at more than one level of biological organization-is a classic debate in biology. Though social behaviours are a common theoretical example for multilevel selection, it is unknown if and ho

Abstract Invasive plants’ ability to extend their range depends upon their local environments and both positive and negative interactions with native species. Interactions between invasive and native plants may be indirectly linked to the soil fungal community, which may enhance or suppress invasion

Dispersal is common in mammals and can have an important role in shaping demography, genetics, distribution, and social structure. Dispersal entails potential costs but also potential benefits, and the dispersal decision is thought to be conditional; the potential disperser assesses prospects for su

The period before sexual maturity is a sensitive life stage where most development and change occur. Studies in humans and other animals show that early adverse experiences contribute to poor health and survival. However, the mechanisms are still unclear. Some have found that early life adversity (E

ABSTRACT Hydrologic connectivity is defined as the connection among stores of water within a watershed and controls the flux of water and solutes from the subsurface to the stream. Hydrologic connectivity is difficult to quantify because it is goverened by heterogeniety in subsurface storage and per

This dataset contains sample collection details, analytical measurements of carbon content, and estimated petrogenic carbon contents of soil samples and shale samples collected from two locations in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Climate change poses a threat to organisms globally, but its effects may be particularly pronounced in multi-trophic systems. For example, pollinators are vulnerable to changes in climate, as are flowering plants, but the extent of direct versus floral-mediated indirect effects of climate on pollina
