Annual Aboveground Net Primary Production (ANPP) is the net aboveground primary production in a given area in a calendar year. As such, it is a key metric of ecosystem health, carbon cycling, and the amount of energy available to herbivores. We model ANPP for Badlands National Park and surrounding region by combining field-measured herbaceous biomass data, Harmonized Landsat Sentinel...

This dataset contains masks for six Landsat scenes in the northern U.S. Great Plains. Masks were created manually to enable analysis of the entire available time series (April-October, 1972-2015). Automatic cloud masking was used as a starting point, with data from the Fmask masking algorithm available for reference. Automatic masks were then edited by hand (by the author) to reduce...

Actual evapotranspiration (ET) is a key variable for understanding land–atmosphere interactions and for assessing water use in agricultural, ecological, and hydrologic systems. This data release provides global, field‑scale ET data generated from Landsat observations using the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Science Processing Architecture...

To support U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) flood inundation and hydrodynamic modeling, the USGS Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project has created an integrated 1-meter topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM) for coastal Oregon and Washington, including the tidal portions of the Columbia River. Coastal...

Short-term Fire Invasive Response Metric (FIRM) (2016-2024), Long-term FIRM (1985-2024), and Habitat Invasive Risk (HIR) quantify wildfire-driven invasive annual grass responses across western U.S. rangelands. Context - Understanding the relationship between Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) expansion, drought, and fire frequency across western US rangelands is complex, but critical for...

This single-band float32 GeoTIFF raster represents a spatially smoothed vulnerability index for sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems at the northern extent of the sagebrush biome, spanning the US–Canada border region from north-central Montana into southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan, with smaller portions of Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota (approximately 46.0°N...

The LF 2020 Update represents the second step in moving towards an annual update in which the disturbances from the year before are represented in current year products. LANDFIRE (LF) 2019L (Limited Update) was the first step towards this goal but contained limited disturbance information (events and fire program data only) for the years 2017-2019. LF 2020 includes adjustments to...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) has developed an integrated 1-meter topobathymetric digital elevation model (TBDEM) for the Potomac River extending from tidal Washington, D.C. to upstream of Hancock, Maryland. This is the third 3DEP pilot inland TBDEM, developed to produce a 3-dimensional surface elevation model that integrates topographic bare-earth...

A benchmark global water balance evapotranspiration (WBET) dataset was generated using machine learning for large-area bias correction of remote sensing-based evapotranspiration (RSET). The dataset contains WBET (1991-2020 average) of over 15,000 Level 6 HydroBASINS worldwide. Additionally, a comparison of this dataset with three RSET and a machine learning-based global datasets is...

This dataset provides a globally consistent daily climatology of grass reference evapotranspiration (ETo, units in millimeter) for the 1981–2010 climatological period. The product integrates multiple sources to improve spatial completeness and regional accuracy, including TerraClimate monthly potential evapotranspiration (PET) fields, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology...

The AgWet (Agriculture Wetland) mask is a specialized land‑cover dataset developed to enhance wet-bulb boundary parameterization in Version 7 of the SSEBop evapotranspiration model (operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance), particularly improving the Forcing and Normalizing Operation (FANO) algorithm over wet-bare surfaces. In sparsely vegetated surfaces, low NDVI (Normalized...

For all available weekly RCMAP-EAG data see the RCMAP Viewer - Next Generation Viewer or MRLC for download. Two weeks of sample data and metadata are included below. Exotic species can disrupt ecosystems since they often possess competitive advantages over native species. In the western United States, the spread of exotic annual grasses (EAG) like cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and...
