Black and White Tegus (Salvator merianae) trap captures in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, 2016-2018 and 2021 Black and White Tegus (Salvator merianae) trap captures in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, 2016-2018 and 2021
This dataset provides trap information from two capture efforts targeting invasive Argentine black and white tegus (Salvator merianae) with or without the use of bait baskets in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem of Florida. In the southeastern United States, metal‑mesh bait baskets are used to protect chicken egg lures in traps targeting invasive Argentine black and white tegus (Salvator...
Riparian vegetation classification of the Colorado River Corridor, Grand Canyon, Arizona, 2021—Data Riparian vegetation classification of the Colorado River Corridor, Grand Canyon, Arizona, 2021—Data
These data are a map of total riparian vegetation (Total vegetation are map units showing the presence of photosynthetically active plants at time of image acquisition) in the riparian corridor of Colorado River in Grand Canyon from Glen Canyon Dam to Pearce Ferry in Arizona, published in a shapefile format. The map was derived from image classification of 0.2-m resolution, multispectral...
Vegetation, soil, and horizontal mass flux data from the Well Pad Reclamation and Research field trials in the Uinta Basin, Utah and the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action field trials near Moab, Utah Vegetation, soil, and horizontal mass flux data from the Well Pad Reclamation and Research field trials in the Uinta Basin, Utah and the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action field trials near Moab, Utah
These data were compiled for the Well Pad Reclamation and Research (WPRR) project in the Uinta Basin, Utah and related experiments conducted at the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) project near Moab, Utah. WPRR is a collaborative and co-production of science set of experiments in the Uinta Basin that includes the US Geological Survey (USGS), the Bureau of Land Management...
Leaf water potential, net photosynthesis, and aboveground biomass estimates from four Pleuraphis jamesii populations under three different experimental precipitation regimes from 2015-2018 Leaf water potential, net photosynthesis, and aboveground biomass estimates from four Pleuraphis jamesii populations under three different experimental precipitation regimes from 2015-2018
These data represent physiological, growth, and genetic measurements from a common garden experiment designed to test whether Pleuraphis jamesii, a dominant C4 warm-season perennial grass in the southwestern United States, exhibits local adaptation to seasonal precipitation regimes. Individuals from four geographically distinct source populations spanning a precipitation seasonality...
Environmental data at source-bordering aeolian dunefields in the Grand Canyon Dune Atlas Environmental data at source-bordering aeolian dunefields in the Grand Canyon Dune Atlas
These data were compiled to characterize the population of source-bordering aeolian dunefields (SBDs) along the Colorado River downstream of Glen Canyon Dam in the Grand Canyon, from Lees Ferry to the Diamond Creek confluence located approximately 225 river miles downstream. The dataset is a comma-separated values (.csv) file in which each of the 58 rows represents a single SBD as...
Topographic, suspended-sediment, GIS, and hydrologic data from the Rio Grande in the Big Bend region Topographic, suspended-sediment, GIS, and hydrologic data from the Rio Grande in the Big Bend region
These data were collected as part of a long-term physical science program focused on the physical river dynamics within the Rio Grande in the Big Bend region of Texas, United States, and Chihuahua and Coahuila, Mexico. These data were compiled to perform analyses of geomorphic change, construct hydrologic/hydraulic models, analyze sediment-transport, and evaluate changes to riparian...
Imagery, topography, and landscape change derived from data collected between 1984 and 2021 for Colorado River-sourced aeolian dunefields within Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona Imagery, topography, and landscape change derived from data collected between 1984 and 2021 for Colorado River-sourced aeolian dunefields within Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
These data were collected as part of an investigation of the influence of river regulation on fluvial-aeolian interactions. Data are focused on 24 fluvially sourced aeolian dunefields distributed across a 225-mile (362-km) section of the Colorado River corridor within Grand Canyon National Park, downstream of Glen Canyon Dam. These data include newly developed topographic datasets...
Rasterized plant water use at Landsat resolution for Tres Rios riparian and wetland areas with seasonal estimates of greenness and evapotranspiration from 2013-2024 Rasterized plant water use at Landsat resolution for Tres Rios riparian and wetland areas with seasonal estimates of greenness and evapotranspiration from 2013-2024
These spatial and tabular data were compiled to have a decade-long record of the water usage in the riparian corridor and the wetlands near Phoenix, Arizona called the Tres Rios area to observe the effect of riparian and wetland health as characterized by vegetation greenness and its water use or evapotranspiration. The objective of our study was to quantify evapotranspiration (ET, in...
Channel Mapping of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona - April 2019, river miles 30 to 88 Channel Mapping of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona - April 2019, river miles 30 to 88
Bathymetric, topographic, and grain-size data were collected in April 2019 along a 58.6 mile (94.3 kilometer) reach of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. The study reach begins at river mile 30, about 2.5 miles above South Canyon, and ends at river mile 88 at the upstream boundary of the Bright Angel Rapid (Phantom Ranch boat beach). This reach spans two...
Data from the 1998–2002 resurveys of the Marble Canyon and Bridge Canyon dam sites in Grand Canyon National Park Data from the 1998–2002 resurveys of the Marble Canyon and Bridge Canyon dam sites in Grand Canyon National Park
These data were collected as part of a U.S. Geological Survey effort to resurvey the Marble Canyon and Bridge Canyon dam sites on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park. The objective of our study was to resurvey these dam sites to document the changes in sediment storage that have occurred since the original 1940s–1950s Bureau of Reclamation surveys. The data in this release...
Environmental and drifting invertebrate prey characteristics used in drift-foraging bioenergetics models for Rainbow Trout Environmental and drifting invertebrate prey characteristics used in drift-foraging bioenergetics models for Rainbow Trout
These data were simulated to use in a conceptual paper that explores the impacts of temperature and drifting invertebrate prey assemblages on Rainbow Trout. Objectives of our study were to examine how warming-induced changes in invertebrate prey production and size structure may impact the growth rate and maximum body size of Rainbow Trout in freshwater ecosystems using drift-foraging
Surveyed coordinates and elevations in a 2019 survey of new and previously established cross sections on the Green River in Browns Park, Colorado and Utah Surveyed coordinates and elevations in a 2019 survey of new and previously established cross sections on the Green River in Browns Park, Colorado and Utah
These data were compiled for the National Park Service. Objective(s) of our study were to resurvey previously established cross sections on the Green River in Browns Park, Colorado and Utah, to document changes in channel width, depth, and cross-sectional area. In addition, new cross sections were established in areas that lacked previously surveyed cross sections. These data represent...
