Rainfall and runoff data: postfire soil hydrologic and biogeochemical response and recovery in northern California, USA Rainfall and runoff data: postfire soil hydrologic and biogeochemical response and recovery in northern California, USA
California’s wildfires are setting historic records for length, size, and severity (Safford and others, 2022, Kreider and others, 2024). These wildfires are altering soil processes like infiltration rates and carbon cycling over increasingly large areas (Staley and others, 2017; Kelly and others, 2020; Baur and others, 2024; Dow and others, 2024). In northern California, it is unclear...

Stable Isotope Values of Black Oystercatchers and their Prey Stable Isotope Values of Black Oystercatchers and their Prey
These data contain carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios in samples of Black Oystercatcher tissues (feathers and claws), as well as tissues from several species of prey, including mussels, limpets, clams, and snails. Samples were collected across a significant portion of the Black Oystercatcher's range, including the coast of the northern Gulf of Alaska down to the Salish Sea in British...
Water-quality data for the Clark Fork and tributaries in the upper Clark Fork Basin, Montana, October 2022-September 2023 Water-quality data for the Clark Fork and tributaries in the upper Clark Fork Basin, Montana, October 2022-September 2023
Water was sampled in streams from Butte to near Missoula, Montana, as part of a long-term monitoring program in the upper Clark Fork Basin. The sampling program was completed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to characterize aquatic resources in the upper Clark Fork Basin and monitor trace elements associated with...
California Reforestation Toolshed Database California Reforestation Toolshed Database
These data provide information about a variety of resources related to reforestation in California. Included resources may be decision-support tools, factsheets and briefs, frameworks and manuals, peer-reviewed publications, or programs supporting reforestation work. Information compiled for each resource includes organization or author of the resource, year published, a brief...
Model inputs and outputs associated with a 10-year continuous daily simulation of chloride flux from a suburban watershed in Fairfax County, Virginia, USA Model inputs and outputs associated with a 10-year continuous daily simulation of chloride flux from a suburban watershed in Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
This data release documents the inputs and outputs for a coupled water-chloride mass balance model at Long Branch in Fairfax County, VA. Data inputs include daily measurements of various ecological conditions including precipitation, temperature, discharge and specific conductance. Output data include daily predicted values of discharge, chloride concentration, and volume for the...
Elicited constructed value of information scores for American kestrel uncertainties in the United States from a 2023 structured decision making workshop Elicited constructed value of information scores for American kestrel uncertainties in the United States from a 2023 structured decision making workshop
The American kestrel (Falco sparverius; hereafter kestrel) is a widespread but declining raptor species in North America. We organized a rapid prototyping workshop to use decision analysis to develop research priorities for understanding environmental drivers of population decline in the United States for the kestrel. The virtual workshop spanned 2.5 days and was held in-person in...
Proximal remote sensing data (ultrasonic, time-of-flight-laser, multispectral reflectance) supporting on-farm measurement of cover crop performance in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest, United States, 2020-2024 Proximal remote sensing data (ultrasonic, time-of-flight-laser, multispectral reflectance) supporting on-farm measurement of cover crop performance in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest, United States, 2020-2024
This data release contains processed scan data from the Active Canopy Sensor (ACS) -214 proximal sensing instrument associated with 1242 cover crop biomass samples from 2020 - 2024 across 13 states. The ACS-214 is an active proximal sensing device equipped with its own light-emitting red and near-infrared spectral reflectance sensors, a time-of-flight laser, and an ultrasonic sensor...
Collection of Network Tools to Advance Climate Adaptation in the Southwest Collection of Network Tools to Advance Climate Adaptation in the Southwest
