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...
Forest structure, regeneration, and soil data to support mangrove forest damage assessment on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, from Hurricane Irma (2018-2019) Forest structure, regeneration, and soil data to support mangrove forest damage assessment on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, from Hurricane Irma (2018-2019)
These data support efforts to assess mangrove forest structural response to Hurricane Irma. Data were collected from within Virgin Islands National Park in St John, U.S. Virgin Islands. Datasets include measurements of forest inventory and vitality status, woody debris, regeneration assessment, and organic soil carbon.
Modeling soil pore water salinity response to drought in tidal freshwater forested wetlands Modeling soil pore water salinity response to drought in tidal freshwater forested wetlands
Model generated soil pore water salinity (psu) values under scenarios of drought and normal conditions at Tidal Freshwater Forested Wetlands (TFFW) sites along the Waccamaw River and Savannah River in the Southeastern United States.
Increasing rates of carbon burial in southwest Florida coastal wetlands Increasing rates of carbon burial in southwest Florida coastal wetlands
This data set represents vertical accretion data from feldspar marker horizons in Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge collected between 1989 and 2017 associated with the publication 'Increasing rates of carbon burial in southwest Florida coastal wetlands.'
Sediment macrofaunal composition and sediment geochemistry of deep-sea coral habitats after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, 2010-2016 Sediment macrofaunal composition and sediment geochemistry of deep-sea coral habitats after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, 2010-2016
Deep-sea corals create complex habitats that support distinct sediment communities. Several deep-sea coral habitats were impacted by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill, and recovery of associated sediment communities may take several years. While spill-associated organic enrichment may lead to increased abundances of tolerant taxa, toxic effects of the spill may lead to declines in...
Hatch dates of American crocodile nests in Everglades National Park and Turkey Point Power Plant 1983-2016 Hatch dates of American crocodile nests in Everglades National Park and Turkey Point Power Plant 1983-2016
We monitored nests from 1983 to 2016 during the crocodile nesting season (April through August) as part of a long-term American crocodile monitoring programs within Everglades National Park (ENP; since 1978) and Turkey Point Power Plant (TP; since 1983). Nests were located during April and May (egg laying period) and monitored from June to August (hatching period). During the hatching...
Field observations and spectral evolution of wind waves in Upper Delaware Bay with living shorelines Field observations and spectral evolution of wind waves in Upper Delaware Bay with living shorelines
This dataset contains measured (interval=0.5 hour) water depth, wave height, and peak wave period during February 2 to April 4, 2018 at six wave gage locations along the Gandy's Beach, New Jersey in upper Delaware Bay. These data were used for the analysis of spectral evolution of wind waves along the coast in upper Delaware Bay with oyster-reef based living shoreline.
Identification of Acara (Cichlidae: Cichlasoma) established in Florida, USA Identification of Acara (Cichlidae: Cichlasoma) established in Florida, USA
The Black Acara, Cichlasoma bimaculatum (Linnaeus 1758), first reported as introduced to Florida in 1965, is distributed throughout Florida's southern peninsula. Examination of live and preserved museum specimens of acara reveal a second species, the Chanchita, Cichlasoma dimerus (Heckel 1840) present in Florida since at least July 2000. A review of the relevant literature coupled with...
