Data

To better inform fuel break planning and assessment, we developed a comprehensive spatial database of known existing fuel breaks from 1953 to 2018 throughout the western United States. Each fuel break is represented as a polygon in the database and is attributed with the date of installation, the treatment type employed, and the data source. The availability of these data promotes the development

These data were collected as part of a trapping effort for endangered threespine stickleback in Soledad Canyon, Santa Clara River watershed in California. The two-year survey effort took place in 2021 and 2022. We reported survey reach identities, stream sections, and numbers of fish captured per trapping effort.

We compiled and verified a dataset which represents a comprehensive inventory of communication tower infrastructure across the range of the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) from 1990 to 2023. Our dataset is an annual spatial time series product that allows users to visualize, assess, and analyze tower locations and duration (i.e., including date of construction through date of disma

Bird and habitat surveys were conducted in winter-flooded rice fields in the Sacramento Valley, California, USA during the fall and winters of 2021-2022 (Oct 2021 through February 2022) and 2022-2023 (December 2022 through February 2023). Rice field sampling consisted of (1) a bird survey that was followed by (2) an overall habitat assessment and (3) a more detailed habitat transect survey. Rice f

Body mass data (measured in grams) of dabbling and diving ducks harvested in three regions of California: Sacramento Valley, Suisun Marsh, and San Joaquin Valley during the 2014/2015, 2015/2016, 2016/2017, 2018/2019, and 2019/2020 hunting seasons. In addition to mass, the flattened length of right wing, species, sex, age, and date of harvest were also recorded. These data support the following pu

This data release provides forest structure information including basal area and stem density by genus and mortality status for overstory and sapling trees in 149 plots in Whiskeytown National Recreation area in California, USA. The data includes forest structure measurements taken before and after the 2018 Carr Fire, a nearly 93,000 hectare wildfire.

Raw aerial photography, orthorectified imagery, point cloud data, and digital elevation models (DEMs) for Whiskeytown National Recreation Area (NRA) following the Carr Fire. Sites within the NRA include: Lower Crystal Creek, Tower House, Grizzly Gulch, Boulder Creek South Shore and Conifer, Brandy Creek Camp, Shasta Divide, Paige Bar (North, NEED Camp, East, and Southeast), Chinese Laundry, and Co

Soil cores were collected in mangrove forests across Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia to understand spatial variation in accretion rates. Cores were dated using lead-210 and processed for bulk density and organic matter percent through loss-on-ignition analysis. A total of 30 cores were successfully dated across seven regions around the island.

This dataset describes tree growth and site characteristics for 26 monitoring plots in 3 sites in Redwood National Park in California, USA. One site (A972) was established and sampled in 2007, 2008, and 2013 (Dagley and others, 2023). Two sites (Holter Ridge and Whiskey 40) were established and sampled in 2009 (van Mantgem and Das, 2014). Six existing plots in the Holter Ridge and Whiskey 40 sites

We quantified the relative abundance of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations within Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Sagebrush Focal Areas (SFAs).

We demonstrate a quantitative approach to differentiate source and sink habitats at large spatial scales using the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse), an indicator species for sagebrush ecosystems, as a case-study. We evaluated both selection and survival across multiple reproductive life stages (nesting, brood-rearing) in the Bi-State Distinct Population Segme

Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereinafter sage-grouse) is a sagebrush obligate species and widely considered an indicator species for sagebrush ecosystems and other sagebrush-dependent species (Hanser and Knick, 2011; Prochazka and others, 2023). Sagebrush ecosystems are threatened by a wide range of disturbances and anthropogenic factors, including climate change, severe drought
