Water level, salinity, and elevation data at Turtle Bayou Mitigation Area of Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, 2025 (ver. 2.0, January 2026) Water level, salinity, and elevation data at Turtle Bayou Mitigation Area of Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, 2025 (ver. 2.0, January 2026)
Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge (BSNWR) is an urban refuge in southeastern Louisiana that has been altered extensively due to human impacts. As a result, the hydrology of the impounded (interior) marshes within the BSNWR has been disrupted due to obstructions such as spoil banks, levees, and water control structures that affect the gradient and fluctuation of water surface...
Wetland transformations for three relative sea-level rise scenarios along the middle and upper Texas Coast, wetland current condition map and wetland transformation maps by decade, sea-level rise scenario, and coastal wetland drowning threshold (ver. 2.0, Wetland transformations for three relative sea-level rise scenarios along the middle and upper Texas Coast, wetland current condition map and wetland transformation maps by decade, sea-level rise scenario, and coastal wetland drowning threshold (ver. 2.0,
As sea levels rise, wetlands exposed to oceanic water can adapt to changing conditions through vertical development (i.e., soil surface elevation gains via biophysical feedbacks) and horizontal migration into upslope areas. Elevation-based models of wetland transformation from sea-level rise are often hampered from a variety of sources of uncertainty, including contemporary elevation and...
Long-term change on barrier islands and barrier shorelines from extreme storms and restoration along the north central Gulf of Mexico coast Long-term change on barrier islands and barrier shorelines from extreme storms and restoration along the north central Gulf of Mexico coast
These data utilize existing land cover products and elevation information to provide information on changes on barrier islands and barrier shorelines along the north central Gulf of Mexico coast. Specifically, this data release includes information on changes in subaerial land, habitat types, and high-tide flooding for barrier islands and barrier shorelines along the north central Gulf...
Data to support the role of the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) in coastal wetland carbon dynamics Data to support the role of the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) in coastal wetland carbon dynamics
Coastal wetlands store carbon in their soils. Carbon is produced by emergent biomass and in-situ root growth, as well as deposited through sedimentation. Burial of aboveground carbon within soils and disruption of long-term soil carbon storage are both influenced by the fauna present in coastal wetlands. Data were used to test the hypothesis that the American Alligator (Alligator...
Report to Congress CWPPRA Dataset 2024 Report to Congress CWPPRA Dataset 2024
In Louisiana, the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) identifies, prepares, and funds coastal wetland restoration projects. In the Evaluation Report to Congress to be submitted in 2024, geospatially driven visualizations are required to provide conceptual understanding of funded project sizes and locations as they pertain to the geographical region in...
Horizon Scan for Vertebrates in Trade Horizon Scan for Vertebrates in Trade
This is a dataset summarizing filtering criteria and rapid risk assessments for ~25,000 species undertaken during a data-driven horizon scan of imported fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The files represented in this dataset are the following: 1) 'species_filtering_metadata_table.xlsx' is the tabular summary of all intake list species names and the reason for inclusion...
Giving-up density experiments for two species of mammals in Florida, 2022 Giving-up density experiments for two species of mammals in Florida, 2022
Invasive predators pose a substantial threat to global biodiversity. Native prey species frequently exhibit naïveté to the cues of invasive predators, and this phenomenon may contribute to the disproportionate impact of invasive predators on prey populations. However, not all species exhibit naïveté, which has led to the generation of many hypotheses to explain patterns in prey responses...
East Sabine Lake Hydrologic Restoration (CS-32): 2021 land-water classification East Sabine Lake Hydrologic Restoration (CS-32): 2021 land-water classification
The Louisiana State Legislature created Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to...
Data release: Flood and Storm Tracker (FaST) data Data release: Flood and Storm Tracker (FaST) data
This product summarizes data used in the analysis portion of our Flood and Storm Tracker (FaST) manuscript (see larger work citation). The dataset titled HUCsppMatrices2012-2022.csv has each Hydraulic Unit Code (HUC) with an introduced taxon in each storm and the HUC it connected to by flood waters (lateral or longitudinal). The dataset titled ConnectionPoints_2012-2022.csv has each...
A machine learning approach for discriminating triploid and diploid Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) by using microscopic images of hematologically stained blood cells A machine learning approach for discriminating triploid and diploid Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) by using microscopic images of hematologically stained blood cells
Microscopic images of hematologically stained whole blood cells from diploid and triploid Grass Carp (Ctenopharynngodon idella) were obtained by a laboratory microscope and field microscope.
Stable isotope, seep megafauna video analysis, and macrofauna of submarine canyons, deep-sea corals and seep habitats in the western Atlantic from 2018-2019 Stable isotope, seep megafauna video analysis, and macrofauna of submarine canyons, deep-sea corals and seep habitats in the western Atlantic from 2018-2019
Datasets of the sediment grain size and geochemistry, macrofaunal communities, stable isotope (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur) and seep video analyses associated with deep-sea corals, submarine canyons and seep habitats in the western Atlantic off the U.S. eastern coastline from 2018-2019.
Sea level rise and Florida’s insular vertebrate biodiversity: predictions of island inundation and the number of coastal species vulnerable to sea level rise Sea level rise and Florida’s insular vertebrate biodiversity: predictions of island inundation and the number of coastal species vulnerable to sea level rise
Data include the proportion of Florida's coastal islands (n = 2504) that are projected to be inundated from sea level rise (SLR), as well as a prediction of the depth of SLR that would inundate each island. Data include the proportion of Florida's islands predicted to still be above water in 2100 that are currently human-modified. Data also include a count of the number of terrestrial...
