FCE Core Data

Long-term data sets that address FCE LTER objectives and hypotheses as outlined in LTER proposals for FCE I and FCE II and that are supported primarily by LTER funds.

LTER Network Data

The LTER Network Data Catalog contains entries for over 4000 ecological datasets from 26 LTER Network research sites, and thousands of additional datasets from numerous other ecological field stations and research institutions.

FCE Related Data

These data are collected and processed by outside agencies, such as the National Climatic Data Center (NOAA), National Oceanographic Data Center and the U.S. Geological Survey, and then added to the FCE database on a regular basis.

ECOTRENDS Data

The Trends website is a portal to a large and diverse collection of standardized long-term ecological datasets, unique data exploration, graphing and synthesis tools, and information about participating research sites and their parent agencies. These datasets, tools and information are freely available to researchers who wish to pursue cross-site synthetic studies.

ECOTRENDS Socioeconomic Catalog

The Human Population and Economy dataset contains over two hundred separate variables suitable for describing changes in population and economic structure since the end of the eighteenth century. The dataset was collected for each of the more than two hundred and fifty counties associated with the 21 continental North American LTER sites plus the Luquillo site in Puerto Rico.

Climate Data

Climate data includes a list of and direct link to the FCE LTER climate datasets together with a map of the FCE study area depicting where the 5 NOAA meteorological stations are located in relation to the FCE research sites. Additionally, this page also serves as a link to the LTER Climate database (ClimDB/HydroDB). ClimDB/HydroDB is a relational database that stores climate and hydrological data for all 26 LTER sites and allows users to query and download their data of interest, as well as, graph their query results.

GIS Data and Maps

Geospatial data associated with the Florida Coastal Everglades LTER Program, including pertinent GIS layers, imagery, downloadable maps, and an interactive map.

Additional Sources of Everglades Data

Here the user will find direct links to other sources of Everglades data found on outside websites operated by various agencies such as the South Florida Water Management District, USGS and the Southeast Environmental Research Center. These data are not incorporated in the FCE LTER data archive.

Environmental Data

Direct links to sources of many types of environmental data collected from a highly-distributed set of field stations, laboratories, research sites, and individual researchers.
