Data

This data release includes the data associated with the manuscript "Catchment prioritization for freshwater mussel conservation across the Northeastern United States based on distribution modelling." It describes native freshwater mussel distribution data for Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut as well as catchment priority scores for different...

The data in this package includes the suitable habitat probability (SHP) rasters for the five-algorithm habitat suitability model ensemble. Multiple scenarios are included based on two shared-socioeconomic pathways (SSP245 and SSP585) and five global circulation models (GCM). The rasters include the SHP for each GCM (average, median, and standard deviation layers based on the five...

This data set includes vegetation response data from two salt marshes in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, which received hydrologic restoration to address interior ponding using runnels. These data are from a replicated BACI (before-after-control-impact) designed study. Data were collected using point-intercept method for percent cover, stem counts, stem height measurements, among other...

These data were collected as a part of a replicated BACI (before-after-control-impact) designed study to test the efficacy of restoration using runnels, at two marshes with differing hydrology and geomorphology. Data are from Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. This data set includes field collected elevation data combined with tidal local tidal datums. These data were averaged over several...

This data set includes water level response data from two salt marshes in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, which received hydrologic restoration to address interior ponding using runnels. These data are from a replicated BACI (before-after-control-impact) designed study, at two marshes with differing hydrology and geomorphology. Data were collected using HOBO Water Level Data Loggers (U20L...

Sleeper populations are established populations of introduced species whose population growth is limited by one or more abiotic or biotic conditions. Sleeper populations pose an invasion risk if a change in those limiting conditions, such as climate change, enables population growth and invasion. With thousands of established species, it is critical that we identify and prioritize...

Climate often drives ungulate population dynamics, and as climates change, some areas may become unsuitable for species persistence. Unraveling the relationships between climate and population dynamics, and projecting them across time, advances ecological understanding that informs and steers sustainable conservation for species. Using pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) as an ecological...

We assessed leaf and root morphological traits of seven species commonly used in restoration across the southwestern United States. Plants were grown in greenhouse conditions for four weeks followed by three weeks of growth under the following treatment conditions: control (adequate watering), moderate drought (12% soil volumetric water content), and severe drought (no water). Functional...

This data release contains Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) fire weather indices calculated using bias-corrected CMIP6 daily data for the period of 1980 - 2100. The spatial domain includes the boreal ecoregion of North America.

The datasets were collected as part of a project to model fire refugia and severity from remotely sensed vegetation, topographic, fire weather, and fire growth variables. These data were used to evaluate changes in patterns of fire refugia and severity in relation to drivers. They represent a key deliverable of this research, designed to inform conservation and management across the...

This dataset collection supports adaptive management planning for black ash wetlands threatened by emerald ash borer (EAB) across Minnesota and provides the underlying data used in an ArcGIS StoryMap outlining strategies for black ash wetland management. There is one csv file containing wildlife habitat model data and four shapefiles included in this collection. The black ash complexes...

This dataset contains summarized climate projection and historical climate statistics for selected extreme event and threshold‑based climate variables across the Southeast United States. Data are derived from downscaled CMIP6‑LOCA2 climate model outputs and observed historical precipitation and temperature data. Values are aggregated by U.S. state within the Southeast CONUS region and by
