Total mercury and methylmercury concentrations in biota from the Hells Canyon Reservoir Complex on the Snake River, Idaho and Oregon, USA
Comma-separated values (.csv) file containing data related to mercury in biota collected from the Hells Canyon Reservoir Complex on the Snake River, Idaho and Oregon.
Effect of ultrasonic deterrents and curtailment on bat mortality at an Ohio wind energy facility
Wind energy is important for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions but also contributes to global bat mortality. Current strategies to minimize bat mortality due to collision with wind-turbine blades fall broadly into two categories: curtailment (limiting turbine operation during high-risk periods) and deterrence (discouraging bat activity near turbines). Recently, there has been...
Plant association abundances and resistance and resilience covariates from six Great Basin fires
This dataset provides the plot-level data of the relative cover of ten different plant associations derived from a structural topic model and resistance and resilience metrics for predicting their abundances. Data comes from four different fires across the Great Basin: the 2007 Murphy Fire, 2012 Rush Fire, 2012 Holloway Fire, and the 2015 Soda Fire. Additional data utilized in the cross...
Mercury concentrations in amphibian tissues and egg masses, fish tissues and sediment in subarctic, freshwater systems near Churchill, Manitoba, 2015-2019
Comma-separated values (.csv) files containing data related to amphibian, fish, and sediment sampling near Churchill, Manitoba between 2015-2019. Data files contain mercury concentrations in amphibian and fish tissues, amphibian egg masses, and sediment, as well as amphibian and fish morphometrics, life stage, site distance to coast and biome where the samples were collected.
Biological soil crust metagenomic data from Horse Heaven Hills, Washington, measured in 2020
This dataset contains Sanger ITS sequences from biocrust lichen taxa collected at Horse Heaven Hills in Washington, USA. It also includes metagenomic biocrust lichen data from 20 plots at Horse Heaven Hills in Washington, USA. These data were collected by Bruce McCune and Heather Root in 2019-2020 and sequenced for ITS using bulk sequencing in the PacBio system at Brigham Young...
Total mercury concentrations in bat tissues and blood from southwestern U.S. National Parks in 2023
Comma-separated values (.csv) file containing data related to bat sampling from southwestern U.S. National Parks in 2023. Data file contains mercury concentrations in bat tissues and blood.
Field-informed plant functional and species cover related to fuels treatment boundaries observed in 2021 in southwestern Idaho
Data includes species cover of cheatgrass (BRTE) and Russian thistle (SATR), as well as functional group cover of Sandberg's bluegrass (POSE), bare ground, litter, and shrubs for the year of 2021.
Drought-related responses of stream flow, climate, and vegetation productivity from the Donner und Blitzen watershed, Great Basin Desert, USA (1988-2020)
Indicators of climatic, hydrologic, and ecological drought responses in water-related terrestrial and aquatic conditions within a single catchment in the northwestern Great Basin Desert and its associated stream network were developed from stream flow, climate and remote sensing sources for the time period of 1988 to 2020.
Importance of seed source selection when planting big sagebrush seedlings in a post-fire context: Assessment of subspecies, climate adaptation, and eco-physiological traits on early establishment
This dataset contains information on seedling survival, physiochemical, morphological, and eco-physiological characteristics of seedlings grown and planted from seed collected from different sagebrush populations as well as the climatic conditions of those seed source sites in relation to the common garden location in which they were planted.

Data included in this release includes raster data outputs and resulting summaries from the analyses, described in the processing steps of this metadata record. In summary this release includes...
Cover, basal diameter, height, and density of deep-rooted perennial grasses, and cover of exotic annual grasses and Poa secunda over the first five years following post-fire drill-seeding on the Soda Wildfire
Data includes functional group cover of exotic annual grasses, shallow rooted perennial grasses, and cover, basal diameter, height, and density of deep-rooted perennial grasses within the first five years after the 2015 Soda wildfire across post-fire drill-seeding treatments.
Abundance, cover, and root measurements of perennial bunchgrasses in the Owyhee Mountains, USA
Invasion of exotic annual grasses (EAG) and increased wildfire have led to an emphasis on managing rangeland plant communities for resistance to invasion and resilience to disturbances. In sagebrush steppe and similar rangelands, perennial bunchgrasses and particularly their roots are hypothesized to be primary contributors to the resistance and resilience. We asked how bunchgrass root...
