Predictions for the presence of submersed aquatic vegetation in the upper Mississippi River, USA, from years 2010-2019
January 30, 2024
The datasets are to accompany a manuscript describing the prediction of submersed aquatic vegetation presence and its potential vulnerability and recovery potential. The data and accompanying analysis scripts allow users to run the final random forests predictive model and reproduce the figures reported in the manuscript. Files from several data sources (aqa_2010_lvl3_pct_oute_joined_VEG_BARCODE.csv, eco_states_near_SAV.csv, ltrm_vegsrs_thru2019_GEOMORPHIC_METRICS_final.csv, vegetation_data.csv, and water_full.csv) were combined into a single .csv file (analysis_data_for_SAV_RandomForest.csv) used as the input for the random forest model. When intersecting points with geomorphic metrics some sites were moved slightly to ensure they were contained within aquatic areas (ltrm_veg_sites_moved.csv). Outputs from the random forest model are contained in the SAV_RandomForest_results.csv and SAV_RandomForest_results_testing_set.csv files.

Using explainable machine learning methods to evaluate vulnerability and restoration potential of ecosystem state transitions
Ecosystem state transitions can be ecologically devastating or be a restoration success. State transitions are common within aquatic systems worldwide, especially considering human-mediated changes to land use and water use. We created a transferable conceptual framework to enable multiscale assessments of state resilience and early warnings of state transitions that can inform strategic...
