Streamflow Permanence Class (SPC) rasters, 2004-2016, and overall mean, Region 17
Streamflow Permanence Class (SPC) rasters represent the classification of the raw streamflow permanence probabilities produced by the PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model into categorical wet and dry classes, annually for years 2004 through 2016, and overall mean. Raw probabilities were classified into a -5 (dry) to +5 (wet) scale based on the spatially variable threshold (i.e...
Threshold and confidence interval rasters, 2004-2016, Region 17
The threshold raster includes the raw streamflow permanence probability value at a given pixel that represents the estimated critical value to differentiate between wet conditions (above the threshold) and dry conditions (below the threshold). Confidence interval rasters indicate the value above or below the threshold corresponding to the nth percentile of confidence that the pixel is wet
Estimated Probabilities from Lidar Models for Marbled Murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) Occupancy in Forest Vegetation Stands in the Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon
We developed a LiDAR-based habitat model for the threatened Marbled Murrelet (MAMU) in the Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon, using a two-step approach. First, we tested the applicability of the LiDAR-based model developed for the Coos Bay District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to the Siuslaw N.F. In the second step, we tested alternative habitat models developed with fores
Land Treatment Exploration Tool
The Land Treatment Exploration Tool is designed for resource managers to use when planning land treatments. The tool provides useful summaries of environmental characteristics of planned treatment areas and facilitates adaptive management practices by comparing those characteristics to other similar treatments within a specified distance or area of interest. ...
Beaver-related Stream Restoration Projects in Western Rangelands
We systematically surveyed federal and state wildlife biologists, hydrological specialists, non-profit organizations, and working groups focused on beaver or wetland restoration in the western U.S. We focused primarily on contacting land managers from states containing some portion of the Great Basin, although many of the projects described in surveys fell outside of this watershed. Som
Western US Ruggedness Reclassified into 6 Classes
"Vector Ruggedness Measure (VRM) measures terrain ruggedness as the variation in three-dimensional orientation of grid cells within a neighborhood. Vector analysis is used to calculate the dispersion of vectors normal (orthogonal) to grid cells within the specified neighborhood. This method effectively captures variability in slope and aspect into a single measure. Ruggedness values in

Mariana swiftlet (Aerodramus bartschi) survey data from O'ahu, Hawai'i, 2005-2010
The data set contains Mariana swiftlet (Aerodramus bartschi) population survey data that were collected via evening arrival surveys on the island of O'ahu, Hawaiian Islands. Data were collected at a roosting/nesting tunnel used by Mariana swiftlets in North Halawa Valley.
Forest Management and Cervid Herbivory Data from Western Oregon, USA, 2012 (Seedling Data)
Land management practices often directly alter vegetation structure and composition, but the degree to which ecological processes such as herbivory interact with management to influence biodiversity is less well understood. We hypothesized that intensive forest management and large herbivores have compounding effects on early-seral plant communities and plantation establishment (i.e., tree
Oregon Spotted Frog (Rana pretiosa) Monitoring at Jack Creek 2015-2018
This dataset contains information from mark-recapture and egg mass surveys conducted 2015-2018 by USGS as part of an ongoing Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa) monitoring effort at Jack Creek, Klamath County, Oregon. Data consist of spotted frog counts (handled by surveyors) aggregated by date, location, life stage, and sex, as well as data on environmental conditions at the
