Rodent habitat and community data to evaluate outcomes of wildfire and post-fire restoration treatments Rodent habitat and community data to evaluate outcomes of wildfire and post-fire restoration treatments
This dataset contains observations used to better understand rodent habitat and community composition 2-15 years post-wildfire with different post-fire restoration treatments (post-fire seeding of native or non-native species). Field data come from 3 wildfire sites in the Northern Basin and Range Ecoregion. Vegetation structure and composition measurements were collected at 71 plots, and...
Airborne Thermal Infrared and True-color Imagery and Longitudinal Profiles of Stream Temperatures, Santiam River Basin, Oregon, August 2000 Airborne Thermal Infrared and True-color Imagery and Longitudinal Profiles of Stream Temperatures, Santiam River Basin, Oregon, August 2000
This dataset includes high-resolution thermal infrared (TIR) and true-color images collected from crewed aircraft and a point shapefile and corresponding comma-delimited tabular data representing the longitudinal spatial patterns of surface water temperature in the surveyed streams in the Santiam River Basin, Oregon. The aerial surveys were contracted through Watershed Sciences, LLC by...
Movement data of the Rocky Mountain population of trumpeter swans, 2019-2023 Movement data of the Rocky Mountain population of trumpeter swans, 2019-2023
We used telemetry data from 55 trumpeter swans in the Rocky Mountain Population captured in summer and winter in the western United States to understand their migratory movements and use of habitats. This dataset includes telemetry data collected between October and March from 35 swans (5 swans captured in Oregon and 14 swans captured by Wyoming Wetlands Society are not included due to...
Detection of Dakota skipper eDNA from inflorescences in the Upper Midwest, June and July 2022 (ver. 1.1, November 2025) Detection of Dakota skipper eDNA from inflorescences in the Upper Midwest, June and July 2022 (ver. 1.1, November 2025)
This dataset contains environmental DNA (eDNA) data for two separate tests of a novel quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay for detection of Dakota skipper (Hesperia dacotae) from inflorescences. One test was conducted in a controlled setting, and the other was conducted in a field setting. Also included are qPCR data for negative controls and standard dilutions of Dakota...
Vegetation cover and standard fire behavior fuel model information collected for two national parks in southern Idaho during the summer of 2023 Vegetation cover and standard fire behavior fuel model information collected for two national parks in southern Idaho during the summer of 2023
Data set includes field observed cover of several vegetation functional groups, e.g. annual herbaceous, perennial herbaceous, exotic annual grasses, perennial bunch grasses, shrubs, sagebrush shrubs, non-sagebrush shrubs, bare mineral soil, rocks, and litter. Additionally, if tree canopy was present within field plots, tree canopy cover was estimated, forest type recorded, and the number...
Bat acoustic monitoring in Western Washington's National Parks Bat acoustic monitoring in Western Washington's National Parks
US Geological Survey and National Park Service researchers designed and implemented an acoustic monitoring program for bats in the three large parks of Western Washington, all part of the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) of National Parks.This work was part of the larger NCCN bat population monitoring and white-nose syndrome (WNS) surveillance program, designed to understand bat...
Functional group cover and treatment data for 13 sites in the Great Basin with reburn history Functional group cover and treatment data for 13 sites in the Great Basin with reburn history
Land management treatments in sagebrush steppe are an important opportunity to break the annual-grass fire cycle, provided they offer long-lasting resistance to annual-grass invasion and do not burn. However, for BLM areas seeded as part of the Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation (ESR) program, one of the largest programs for land management treatments, about 1/4 have at least...
Plant cover data collected on roadsides treated with herbicide and bioherbicide in SW Idaho Plant cover data collected on roadsides treated with herbicide and bioherbicide in SW Idaho
The exotic grass-fire cycle is degrading semiarid rangelands, such as the vast areas of shrub-steppe in North America now invaded by fire-promoting cheatgrass. Chemical- or bio-herbicides are sprayed onto soils to inhibit the invaders, but information on chemical- or bio-herbicide effects on plant communities is limited. We asked how the plant community responded to the bioherbicide...
Plant cover, density, and growth measurements from burned and unburned plots treated with indaziflam four years after the Soda fire Plant cover, density, and growth measurements from burned and unburned plots treated with indaziflam four years after the Soda fire
Protection of intact habitat from the spread of invasive plants is a global priority, especially where the invaders alter wildfire occurrence. Invasion of perennial sagebrush-steppe ecosystems by cheatgrass and other fire-promoting exotic annual grasses (EAGs) is one of the most notorious examples of this problem. Protection and expansion of the remaining intact "core" habitat sagebrush...
Simulated juvenile Chinook salmon movement and growth in the Yankee Fork of the Salmon River, Idaho: Model input parameters and results Simulated juvenile Chinook salmon movement and growth in the Yankee Fork of the Salmon River, Idaho: Model input parameters and results
The growth potential and movement propensity of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) was simulated across 16 representative reaches in the Yankee Fork of the Salmon River (YFSR), Idaho. For growth potential, we used the Aquatic Trophic Productivity model, which incorporates dynamics of the food web members and the stream-riparian conditions at each reach. Environmental...
FLOwPER Database: StreamFLOw PERmanence field observations, Jan 2023 - Dec 2023 FLOwPER Database: StreamFLOw PERmanence field observations, Jan 2023 - Dec 2023
IMPORTANT NOTE: This dataset includes spatial locations where streamflow permanence observations (continuous flow, discontinuous flow, and dry) were recorded using the FLOwPER (FLOw PERmanence) field survey available in the Survey 123 mobile data collection application. Additional information to describe the field conditions are included as part of the survey. Field observations in the...
