Streamflow and Surface-water Presence Data in the Conterminous United States, 1857-2023 Streamflow and Surface-water Presence Data in the Conterminous United States, 1857-2023
This data release includes information on data from 72 streamflow or surface-water presence datasets in the Conterminous United States. It includes location, dataset, parent dataset or publication, site identification (if available), start year, end year, number of years, number of days, frequency of data collection, Strahler stream order, and headwater status.
Global gridded dataset of terrestrial biological nitrogen fixation across natural and agricultural biomes Global gridded dataset of terrestrial biological nitrogen fixation across natural and agricultural biomes
This dataset includes global rasters of terrestrial biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) rates (in kg N/ha/y) for each major N-fixing niche in natural biomes (trees, shrubs, herbs, soil, litter, dead wood, ground mosses, biocrusts, and epiphytic lichens) and agricultural biomes (legume crops, forage legumes, and rice). It also includes total natural terrestrial, total agricultural, and...
A global dataset of terrestrial biological nitrogen fixation A global dataset of terrestrial biological nitrogen fixation
This dataset includes field measurements of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in all major N-fixing niches across natural terrestrial biomes globally. The dataset comprises 32 variables including site location, biome type, N-fixing niche, sampling year, quantification method, BNF rate (in kg N/ha/y), the percentage of nitrogen derived from the atmosphere, N-fixer or N-fixing substrate...
Compiled onshore and offshore paleoseismic data along the Cascadia Subduction zone Compiled onshore and offshore paleoseismic data along the Cascadia Subduction zone
The USGS Powell Center Cascadia earthquake hazards working group compiled published onshore and offshore paleoseismic data along the Cascadia subduction zone, spanning sites from Vancouver Island to the Mendocino triple junction. Evidence for megathrust rupture includes coastal land-level change, tsunami inundation, onshore shaking proxies such as landslides or liquefaction, and offshore...
Data release for Piloting Urban Ecosystem Accounting for the United States Data release for Piloting Urban Ecosystem Accounting for the United States
In this study, we develop urban ecosystem accounts in the U.S., using the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EEA) framework. Most ecosystem accounts focus on regional and national scales, which are appropriate for many ecosystem services. However, ecosystems provide substantial services in cities, improving quality of life and contributing...
USGS Dam Removal Science Database (ver. 4.0, June 2021) USGS Dam Removal Science Database (ver. 4.0, June 2021)
This database is the result of an extensive literature search aimed at identifying documents relevant to the emerging field of dam removal science. In total the database contains 214 citations that contain empirical monitoring information associated with 181 different dam removals across the United States and abroad. Data includes publications through 2016 and supplemented with the U.S...
