### Data for: "Mitigating ecosystem service tradeoffs in rangelands by using grazing duration and timing to manage water quality" by Hulvey, KB, CD Mellon and AR Kleinhesselink. Journal of Applied Ecology. ### Date: 2021-06-18 ### Contents: Data used in the analysis is in an excel spreadsheet __data/ecoli_data.xlsx__ ### Data used in the analysis in "ecoli_data.xlsx" 10 columns by 361 rows. Column descriptions: * "treatment", character. Cattle rotation Treatment labels for each stream. - "stream", character. Abbreviated stream names. - "pasture", character. Abbreviated pasture names. - "ecoli_MPN", numeric (MPN 100 ml-1). Observed concentrations of *E. coli* in units of most probable number (MPN) of colony forming units per 100 ml of water. See text for methods. - "grazing_start", date (month/day/year). Date when cattle were moved on to pasture according to rotation scheme. 'NULL' indicates cattle were not grazed in this pasture this year. - "grazing_end", date (month/day/year). Date when cattle were moved off of the pasture according to rotation scheme. 'NULL' indicates cattle were not grazed in this pasture this year. - "trailing_start", date (month/day/year). Start date for cattle temporarily occupying pasture while moving through the area. 'NULL' indicates cattle were not trailed through this pasture. - "trailing end", date (month/day/year). End date for cattle temporarily occupying pasture while moving through the area. 'NULL' indicates cattle were not trailed through this pasture. - "sample_date" date (month/day/year). Date for *E. coli* water sample collection. - "cattle_present" binary (0/1). Indicates whether cattle were present in the pasture, either during the grazing period or directly observed.
