Louisiana Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring Program - 2008 habitat map, Chandeleur Islands Region Louisiana Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring Program - 2008 habitat map, Chandeleur Islands Region
The Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) program was developed by Louisiana's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and is implemented as a component of the System Wide Assessment and Monitoring Program (SWAMP). The program uses both historical data and contemporary data collections to assess and monitor changes in the aerial and subaqueous extent of islands...
Preliminary data from animal borne cameras on loggerhead sea turtles in St. Joseph Bay, Florida (2018-2019) Preliminary data from animal borne cameras on loggerhead sea turtles in St. Joseph Bay, Florida (2018-2019)
This is a fifty-four second video which includes short segments compiled from video collected using GoPro cameras mounted on two individual loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) within St. Joseph Bay, Florida as part of a preliminary data release for U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) outreach publications. Approximately 90 minutes of video footage was collected per individual prior to...
Salvinia/weevil case study: Using drones to monitor weevil propagation in Salvinia aquatics (ver. 2.0, August 2023) Salvinia/weevil case study: Using drones to monitor weevil propagation in Salvinia aquatics (ver. 2.0, August 2023)
During summer months, coastal Louisiana is plagued with floating aquatics that fill and block canals and small waterways causing trouble for boaters. This floating aquatic starts growing in the spring and dies off in late summer and early winter months. One natural predator of the Salvinia sp is the weevil that forages on the Salvinia and causes premature die-off. These weevils do exist...
Scaling antibiotic efficacy from cells to metapopulations Scaling antibiotic efficacy from cells to metapopulations
The data are population sizes of yeast Saccharaomyces cerevisiae growth in laboratory cultures over a period of several days with different levels of growth inhibitor cycloheximide and of nutrient levels.
Hurricane sedimentation in a subtropical salt marsh-mangrove community in the Mississippi River Delta Complex unaffected by vegetation type Hurricane sedimentation in a subtropical salt marsh-mangrove community in the Mississippi River Delta Complex unaffected by vegetation type
Hurricanes periodically deliver sediment to coastal wetlands, such as those in the Mississippi River Delta Complex (MRDC), slowing elevation loss and improving resilience to sea-level rise. However, the amount of hurricane sediment deposited and retained in a wetland may vary depending on the dominant vegetation. In the subtropical climate of the MRDC, the black mangrove (Avicennia...
Soil surface elevation change and vertical accretion data to support the Fruit Farm Creek Mangrove Restoration Project (Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Marco Island, Florida) Soil surface elevation change and vertical accretion data to support the Fruit Farm Creek Mangrove Restoration Project (Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Marco Island, Florida)
These data represent surface elevation change and vertical accretion time series collected from a series of degraded tidal wetland sites near Goodland, Florida, USA. Surface elevation was measured using a combination of rod surface elevation tables (SETs) and feldspar marker horizons. Here, we document mangrove forest and soil structural changes within transects established in tidally...
Cholinesterase inhibition in butterflies on the National Key Deer Refuge following aerial application of a mosquito control pesticide Cholinesterase inhibition in butterflies on the National Key Deer Refuge following aerial application of a mosquito control pesticide
The data set contains raw data for pesticide (naled) residues on samplers collected after aerial applications over the National Key Deer Refuge in the Florida Keys, and biological response (cholinesterase activity in butterflies and mosquito mortality) for organisms co-located with the residue samplers.
Landscape position-based habitat modeling for the Alabama Barrier Island feasibility assessment at Dauphin Island Landscape position-based habitat modeling for the Alabama Barrier Island feasibility assessment at Dauphin Island
A barrier island habitat prediction model was used to forecast barrier island habitats (for example, beach, dune, intertidal marsh, and woody vegetation) for Dauphin Island, Alabama, based on potential island configurations associated with a variety of restoration measures and varying future conditions of storminess and sea-levels. In this study, we loosely coupled a habitat model...
Seagrass habitat suitability modeling for the Alabama Barrier Island restoration assessment at Dauphin Island Seagrass habitat suitability modeling for the Alabama Barrier Island restoration assessment at Dauphin Island
A barrier island seagrass habitat suitability index (HSI) model was developed for the Alabama barrier island restoration assessment at Dauphin Island. Shoal grass (Halodule wrightii) was selected as the representative species for seagrass community near Dauphin Island waters since H. wrightii is the dominant species (>62%) of seagrass communities in this area due to its rapid growth and...
Oyster habitat suitability modeling for the Alabama Barrier Island restoration assessment at Dauphin Island Oyster habitat suitability modeling for the Alabama Barrier Island restoration assessment at Dauphin Island
A spatially explicit oyster habitat suitability index (HSI) model was developed for the Alabama barrier island restoration assessment at Dauphin Island. Based on previous oyster habitat suitability studies, seven water quality variables were selected and their relationships with habitat suitability were developed and incorporated into the oyster HSI model for Dauphin Island restoration...
Wetland transition probabilities for category count model elicited from experts at 2015 workshop Wetland transition probabilities for category count model elicited from experts at 2015 workshop
This dataset is a set of transition probabilities that were elicited from a group of relevant experts during a structured decision-making workshop. Each value is the probability of a wetland in a given state undergoing a transition to another state during a single time step, given a potential management action is taken.
Carbon assessment of Taxodium distichum knees in Mississippi River Alluvial Valley (2004) Carbon assessment of Taxodium distichum knees in Mississippi River Alluvial Valley (2004)
Estimates of the biomass of the knees of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum), and oddly shaped, difficult to quantify vegetation components, can be critical to improve estimates of carbon stock in blue carbon assessments. To this end, tree metrics (e.g., density, height, biomass) were examined in 2004 at mixed baldcypress swamps across the Mississippi River Alluvial Valley (MRAV) from...
