Description
Datasets for manuscript Forest defoliator outbreaks alter nutrient cycling in northern waters. IO_df is the main insect outbreak dataframe used to generate the bulk of the figures and results. It contains measures of monthly lake chemistry, insect disturbance, and catchment characteristics. Defoliator_Bark-Wood-Beetle_df is used to generate figure S1 and contains yearly measures of defoliator and bark/wood beetle outbreaks. ndvi_lai_data is used to generate figure S6 and contains the relationship between MOIDS LAI and Landsat NDVI. Outbreak_History is used to generate figure 5 and is a record of catchment-level disturbances in our study region.
