Collection of photographs taken during field work during the Joint Circumpolar Project on Indirect Trophic Interactions. Photos include those taken of completed datasheets and habitat during fecal count surveys.
Directories include artificial_nest_datasheets, circumpolar_predator_datasheets, herbivory_datasheets, and herbivory_plots.
The data providers have invested considerable effort in QA/QC, but it is possible that undetected errors remain. It is strongly recommended that careful attention be paid to the contents of the metadata file associated with these data to evaluate data set limitations, restrictions, or intended use. The originators of this dataset shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein.
Potential users of these data should first contact the data authors listed below, as potential biases may occur within the data depending on the intended use. Limited data was collected in 2020 as a result of reduced field effort due to Covid-19 (did not collect data on artificial nests). Herbivory data (i.e. fecal counts) were not collected after 2019. Therefore, potential users should contact the data authors to discuss intended use and how these data may or may not be applicable.
General field methods are available in the general Utqiaġvik protocol documents that detail specific annual methodologies.
artificial_nest_datasheets: Photographs of completed artificial nest datasheets by year.
circumpolar_predator_datasheets: Photographs of completed circumpolar predator datasheets by year.
herbivory_datasheets: Photographs of completed herbivory datasheets by year.
herbivory_plots: Photographs of habitat taken at starting and ending points of herbivory surveys. Organized in folders by year. Photos are labeled with plot and stake number.
