This dataset holds laboratory foliar chemical analyses results for field samples collected during the 2022 NASA Surface Biology Geology (SBG) High Frequency Time series (SHIFT) campaign in Santa Barbara County, California, USA. Leaf samples were collected from plots within the Dangermond Preserve, Sedgwick Reserve, and Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve during the period of 2022-02-23 to 2022-09-27 and dried for later analysis. This project collected field data contemporaneously with weekly flights of the NASA's Airborne Visible-Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) facility instrument over the study areas. Sixteen chemical traits from two different lab analyses are provided. (a) Elemental analysis: foliar nitrogen (%), phosphorus (%), magnesium (%), potassium (%), calcium (%), sulfur (%), boron (ppm), iron (ppm), manganese (ppm), copper (ppm), zinc (ppm), aluminum (ppm), and sodium (ppm). (b) AnkomFiber analysis: foliar hemicellulose and bound protein (%), cellulose (%), and lignin (%). Related data packages contain additional plot-level characterization, biogeochemical, reflectance, and foliar data. These data are provided in comma separated values (CSV) format.

This dataset provides leaf images and measurements of leaf traits (area, wet weight, dry weight, leaf mass per area, leaf water content) and leaf pigments (chlorophyll) and species information as sampled from meadow, shrub, and tree from Santa Barbara California, USA. Samples were collected from plots within the Dangermond Preserve, Sedgwick Reserve, and Carpinteria Salt March Reserve during the period of February 23, 2022 to September 27, 2022 for the 2022 NASA Surface Biology Geology (SBG) High Frequency Time series (SHIFT) campaign. The associated data package contains image scans used for the leaf area calculations as well as python processing code used to calculate the area. A comma-separated value (CSV) formatted file includes plot-level leaf area (cm2), wet weight (g), leaf mass area (LMA, g leaf dry mass per meter square), leaf water content (LWC, (wet weight - dry weight/wet weight, %)), chlorophyll fluorescence ratio (CFR), and chlorophyll content (CHL).

This data set provides a time series of vegetation phenological observations for 393 sites across diverse ecosystems of the world (mostly North America) from 2000-2018. The phenology data were derived from conventional visible-wavelength automated digital camera imagery collected through the PhenoCam Network at each site. From each acquired image, RGB (red, green, blue) color channel information was extracted and means and other statistics calculated for a region-of-interest (ROI) that delineates an area of specific vegetation type. From the high-frequency (typically, 30 minute) imagery collected over several years, time series characterizing vegetation color, including canopy greenness, plus greenness rising and greenness falling transition dates, were summarized over 1- and 3-day intervals.

This dataset contains data pertaining to ground surface cover in 30 meter plots around a random selection of points within chaparral from Santa Barbara county south to San Diego County in southern California, USA. These data were obtained from historical aerial imagery from 1943 to 1959 and current imagery from 2016 to 2018 and they were compared to quantify changes in cover type over time.

This vegetation mapping project of Suisun Marsh blends ground-based classification, aerial photo interpretation, and GIS editing and processing. The method is based on the development of a quantitative vegetation classification, which is used to describe the vegetation map units of the marsh. The classification is defined to meet the specifications of the National and State standards for vegetation classification, but is related through a cross-walking table to other standard classifications in use locally or statewide ( https://nrmsecure.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=42580 ).
