As part of Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) Program, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting a study to understand what environmental factors are contributing to the failure of floodplain forests to regenerate. Broken Forest Canopy Identified by Lidar data sets: As part of Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is...

Impacts of dreissenid mussels (Dreissena spp.) on Great Lakes ecosystems are well documented, but a better understanding of mechanisms that cause variation in mussel abundance is needed. An outstanding question is how much mussel biomass is consumed by predation. To date, attention has mainly focused on invasive Round Goby (Neogobius melanostomus) predation of mussels. Biomass of native

This dataset contains raster layers for environmental characteristics for freshwater habitats including waterbodies (standing water including lakes and wetlands) and streams (moving water) for the contiguous United States. These data can be used to model habitat suitability of non-native species in the contiguous United States. Habitat predictors were developed in four suites: current...

To establish benthic conditions before construction of an Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program habitat restoration and enhancement project (HREP) in Navigation Pool 13, we sampled native freshwater mussels, tubers from watercelery (Vallisneria americana) plants, and surficial sediment with a stratified systematic survey design from 9/24/2024 to 10/4/2024. About 300 sites were...

Eleven pre-established plots within the 2000 Highland Creek Fire perimeter were revisited in 2025 with the purpose of characterizing long-term vegetation recovery as well as present-day fuel loads and forest structure. These research plots were originally established in Wind Cave National Park to assess burn severity using the Composite Burn Index. Additionally, 28 plots established in...

This data release includes raster and text input files to initialize and run the forest disturbance and succession landscape simulation model, LANDIS-II with the Biomass Succession extension for the study area in the Adirondacks (ADK) National Park, New York, USA. The goal of this project was to develop inputs to forecast future spruce-fir forest extent using the landscape model LANDIS...

The US Geological Survey has collected daily streamflow data at more than 20,000 locations within the conterminous United States (CONUS). Although these data are publicly available, there is little to no information about the environmental setting under which the data were collected. Specifically, users of the data have no readily available means to determine whether the observed...

The Everglades Depth Estimation Network (EDEN) provides water-level data for scientists, decision-makers, and managers to help monitor and assess Everglades restoration. EDEN is an integrated network of over 300 water-level gages, water-surface models, and ecological applications that provides data for interpolated water-level and water-depth surfaces across the freshwater part of the...

Game fish, sport fish, or regulated fish species are popular among recreational anglers. These species are managed by states, jurisdictions, or territories to limit their harvest and maintain healthy fish stocks. Game fish have significant economic importance and represent an essential component of fish communities. This game fish classification serves as the first public designation of...

This dataset includes gamma ray spectrometry measurements from exposed Ordovician mixed carbonate and siliciclastic strata near Tumbling Run, Virginia; a regionally recognized reference section within the central Appalachians. Gamma ray measurements were collected on a continuous assay with a thirty second collection interval by walking one meter from the outcrop face using a GF...

We measured soil CO2 fluxes on grids with the accumulation chamber method on July 15-17, 2021, September 10, 2022, and May 6-7, 2025, at Mud Volcano, an acid-sulfate, vapor-dominated area in Yellowstone National Park, WY. We also monitored variations in CO2, H2O and sensible and latent heat fluxes, air temperature and pressure, and wind speed and direction on a half-hourly basis from...

Seeds extracted from the gastrointestinal contents of Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) and Black and White Tegu (Salvator merianae) lizards in South Florida were sorted and identified to genus or species. Seeds were then categorized as invasive (category I: history of negative impacts or category II: potential for negative impacts), native, non-native, threatened, endangered, and...
