Data from: Spatial and temporal drivers of landscape-level variation of aboveground net primary production in a semi-arid grassland
This is long-term dataset from a semi-arid grassland located at the Central Plains Experimental Range, near Nunn, Colorado to investigate the drivers of aboveground net primary production (ANPP) variability at the landscape scale. The dataset includes spatially explicit measurements of precipitation, both current and from prior seasons, edaphic conditions, and plant community composition collected across a heterogeneous landscape over more than a decade. These data are separated by plant functional group, enabling detailed analyses of how ANPP sensitivity is influenced by both soil characteristics and plant types. The spatial and temporal resolution of the dataset allows for the quantification of precipitation legacies, revealing the distinct responses of warm and cool season grasses to past precipitation events. Additionally, the dataset captures fine-scale spatial variation in precipitation, particularly summer convective storms, which contribute to varying precipitation legacies across the study area.Data Dictionaries provide descriptions and units for the variables in each csv data table.
