This dataset includes monthly summary data of temperature, relative humidity, and soil moisture at each outplanting site along the elevation gradient at Kanakaleonui Bird Corridor, Hawaii. Data ranges from March - July 2016, corresponding with the initial planting of seedlings, and last measurement. Data are provided in shapefile format (.shp) and can be used with ESRI or other spatial mapping software.

This data set provides the date and location of seeds collected for germination and planting as part of the larger experiment in the technical report, "Facilitating Adaptation in Montane Plants to Changing Precipitation along an Elevation Gradient." The species name provided is the Hawaiian name, with the scientific name provided in the column description. The rest of the data are date and time, with elevation and land management area names. Data are provided in shapefile format (.shp) and can be used with ESRI or other spatial mapping software.
Across the Hawaiian Islands, effective management of at-risk species often relies on fine-scale actions by natural resource managers. However, balancing these actions with competing land use objectives concurrently can be challenging, especially in the context of a shifting climate. One example is the challenge of managing for hunting of non-native ungulates for subsistence and recreation, which often conflicts with the conservation of native species, and there is little reliable data to guide effective management. To address this issue, we modeled the habitat associations of axis deer and mouflon sheep on the Island of Lānaʻi. We found that both species occupy habitat different from their native environment, and...
