Historical and Future Projections of Spring Phenology and False Springs in the South Central United States (1981 - 2099) Historical and Future Projections of Spring Phenology and False Springs in the South Central United States (1981 - 2099)

The dataset contains historical simulations and future projections of multiple variables from the extended spring indices (SIx) and (false spring exposure indices). The SIx variables included are the first leaf index (FLI), first bloom index (FBI), damage index (DMG), and day of last freeze in the spring (lastfreeze). The false spring indices include an indicator for early or late false...

Arctic Rivers Project: Storylines - Topics and analytical codes from semi-structured interviews conducted in Western Alaska 2025 Arctic Rivers Project: Storylines - Topics and analytical codes from semi-structured interviews conducted in Western Alaska 2025

Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the Alaska Native Villages of Elim, Aniak, and St. Mary's in Western Alaska in January and February 2025. Interviews topics were developed based on the results of workshops conducted in these communities the previous summer (July 2024; see Data from July 2024 Community Workshops conducted in three villages in Western Alaska: Aniak, Elim, and...

Data from July 2024 Community Workshops conducted in three villages in Western Alaska: Aniak, Elim, and St. Mary's Data from July 2024 Community Workshops conducted in three villages in Western Alaska: Aniak, Elim, and St. Mary's

A series of workshops were held in three Alaskan Native Villages, Aniak, Elim, and St. Mary’s in July 2024. These workshops focused on community observations of and concerns around weather and environmental changes. The workshop participants were community members in each of the respective communities. Participants were provided with an informed consent sheet that explained the risks and...

Simulated daily soil moisture and temperature to characterize environmental conditions for plant establishment at sites in the western United States (1980-2023) Simulated daily soil moisture and temperature to characterize environmental conditions for plant establishment at sites in the western United States (1980-2023)

The goal for these data is to characterize patterns of soil moisture and temperature that have the potential to influence the establishment outcomes of post-fire restoration seeding. To accomplish this objective, we simulated daily soil moisture and soil temperatures at 4000+ locations in the western USA. We used a soil water balance model, SOILWAT2, and inputs from daily weather (DayMet...

Modeling impacts of cryospheric change on aquatic flows and freshwater habitat quality for Pacific salmon and coastal communities in the Arctic Modeling impacts of cryospheric change on aquatic flows and freshwater habitat quality for Pacific salmon and coastal communities in the Arctic

To explore how cryospheric change around Alaska could impact energy available for fish growth in rivers, data from published studies and archives were compiled to run the Aquatic Trophic Productivity (ATP) model. The ATP was parameterized for three different systems: a glacierized watershed, a watershed on discontinuous permafrost, and a watershed on continuous permafrost. Data were...

Mussel occurrence and catchment priorities for mussel conservation in the Northeastern U.S. Mussel occurrence and catchment priorities for mussel conservation in the Northeastern U.S.

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...

Current and future (end 21st-century) habitat suitability projections for Reynoutria and Ludwigia in Pacific Northwest watersheds using ensemble SDMs (6 model algorithms, 5 GCMs) under two societal climate scenarios Current and future (end 21st-century) habitat suitability projections for Reynoutria and Ludwigia in Pacific Northwest watersheds using ensemble SDMs (6 model algorithms, 5 GCMs) under two societal climate scenarios

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...

Tidal marsh vegetation response to restoration in Buzzards Bay Massachusetts, 2020-2023 Tidal marsh vegetation response to restoration in Buzzards Bay Massachusetts, 2020-2023

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...

Elevation and tidal datums for salt marsh sites in Buzzards Bay, MA from 2020-2023 Elevation and tidal datums for salt marsh sites in Buzzards Bay, MA from 2020-2023

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...

Water level responses in shallow-water areas to restoration in Buzzards Bay Massachusetts, 2020-2023 Water level responses in shallow-water areas to restoration in Buzzards Bay Massachusetts, 2020-2023

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...

Northeast Sleeper Species Database (ver. 2.0, April 2024) Northeast Sleeper Species Database (ver. 2.0, April 2024)

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...

Impact of Drought on Southwestern Pronghorn Population Trends and Predicted Trajectories in the Southwest in the Face of Climate Change Impact of Drought on Southwestern Pronghorn Population Trends and Predicted Trajectories in the Southwest in the Face of Climate Change

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...
