Sediment and nutrient retention in floodplain forest soils related to flood frequency and presence/absence of invasive reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) in the upper Mississippi River Navigation Pool 8 in 2019 Sediment and nutrient retention in floodplain forest soils related to flood frequency and presence/absence of invasive reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) in the upper Mississippi River Navigation Pool 8 in 2019
The dataset represents the results of floodplain soil samples collected in Navigation Pool 8 of the upper Mississippi River. The objective of the research was to assess the changes in soil chemistry and nutrient transformation at floodplain forest sites in the presence or absence of invasive reed canarygrass (RCG- Phalaris arundinacea) and determine if the RCG effect was modified by the...
Data and Code Release:Technical Assistance Bioassay to Compare Sea Lamprey and Logperch Sensitivity to TFM Data and Code Release:Technical Assistance Bioassay to Compare Sea Lamprey and Logperch Sensitivity to TFM
Data and code release to evaluate a continuous-flow streamside toxicity test that was conducted with common logperch (Percina caprodes) and larval sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) to evaluate the risk posed by 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (TFM) sea lamprey control stream treatments to logperch. Logperch are a host to the parasitic glochidia life stage of the federally endangered...
Data associated with nutrient diffusing substrate experiments conducted in Lake Michigan and Lake Erie (2017) Data associated with nutrient diffusing substrate experiments conducted in Lake Michigan and Lake Erie (2017)
Metals are used in primary producer metabolic pathways, such as photosynthesis and the acquisition of macronutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), yet we often do not know their potential as limiting nutrients in freshwaters. In the Great Lakes, metals have sometimes been identified as limiting the acquisition of macronutrients, mostly in off-shore waters that are relatively isolated...
Upper Mississippi River Floodplain forest floor vegetation and inundation metrics in Pools 4 and 8, 2015-2017 Upper Mississippi River Floodplain forest floor vegetation and inundation metrics in Pools 4 and 8, 2015-2017
We conducted this study in Upper Mississippi River Pools 4 and 8 to document the occurrence and cover of Phalaris arundinacea and other forest floor plants in UMR floodplain forests and relate measures of abundance of Phalaris, and community composition and diversity to estimates of flood duration which can exhibit high spatial heterogeneity. We used modeled inundation duration which...
occupancy model of eDNA gradient in Illinois River occupancy model of eDNA gradient in Illinois River
This repository contains code to run an occupancy model for eDNA data from a gradient along the Illinois River collected in 2015.
Illinois River basin silver carp and bighead carp eDNA gradient study from 2015 Illinois River basin silver carp and bighead carp eDNA gradient study from 2015
This data was collected by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to see if environmental DNA (eDNA) varied across pools and within pools in the Illinois River basin. The data was collected in 2015 from three different habitat types: shoreline, main channel, and bays. The resulting data were then analyzed using an occupancy model.
Data for experimental conservation translocations of an aquatic invertebrate (Gammarus lacustris) in Minnesota USA from years 2017-2020 Data for experimental conservation translocations of an aquatic invertebrate (Gammarus lacustris) in Minnesota USA from years 2017-2020
The dataset accompanies the scientific article, "Experimental conservation translocations of an aquatic invertebrate (Gammarus lacustris) within prairie and forest-transitional wetlands". In this study, we conducted a before-after/control-impact experiment to test the efficacy of conservation translocation for re-establishing abundant populations of the freshwater amphipod Gammarus...
Global aquatic Isoëtes Database (acronym GaID) as of 2024 Global aquatic Isoëtes Database (acronym GaID) as of 2024
Isoëtes are iconic but understudied wetland plants, despite having suffered severe losses globally mainly because of alterations in their habitats. We therefore provide the first global, comprehensive data set of aquatic Isoëtes and their habitats. We compiled a global database that includes all known environmental data collected from 1935 to 2023 regarding aquatic Isoëtes. This resulted...
Data and Code Release: Acute Toxicity of Lampricides to Non-target Species of Concern in the Lake Champlain Watershed Data and Code Release: Acute Toxicity of Lampricides to Non-target Species of Concern in the Lake Champlain Watershed
Data to evaluate the Acute Toxicity of Lampricides to Non-target Species of Concern in the Lake Champlain Watershed. The toxicity of the lampricides TFM and TFM/1% Niclosamide to numerous non-target fishes of concern in the Great Lakes has been presented in previous studies. However, not many toxicity studies have been reported for Finger Lakes and Lake Champlain species of concern...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances along the St Louis River and in the Duluth, MN area 2019-2021 Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances along the St Louis River and in the Duluth, MN area 2019-2021
Tree swallow nest boxes were deployed at sites proximal to two putative aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) sources in the Duluth, MN area, as well as along the St. Louis River and a reference lake for comparative purposes. The two AFFF sites were the current Duluth Air National Guard Base (ANG) and the Lake Superior College Emergency Response Training Center. Concentrations of between 13...
Location and land cover uncertainty associated with stop-level data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) Location and land cover uncertainty associated with stop-level data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS)
The North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) (https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbs/) has counted birds annually for over fifty-five years. Survey 'routes' each consist of 50 'stops' (point counts) placed along a route path. Inter-stop distances and stop locations can vary from route to route and from year to year, and precise locations of each stop are not typically recorded. This data set...
Data release associated with research that describes how major flooding and dam operations in the upper Mississippi River contribute to large upstream migrations of native paddlefish and invasive bigheaded carp Data release associated with research that describes how major flooding and dam operations in the upper Mississippi River contribute to large upstream migrations of native paddlefish and invasive bigheaded carp
Recent research has attributed major flood events with the upstream spread of invasive carp in the Mississippi River. In two sequential years, the upper Mississippi River experienced a low water year with very minimal flooding in 2022 and a very high water year with extreme and sustained flooding in the spring of 2023. This data release contains hydrologic data from the U.S. Army Corps...
