All Data

These data document over a century of plant community change on the Colorado Plateau (CP) using repeat photography (1910-2016). Photos were taken across a 3100 square kilometer area on the CP largely in areas administered by the NPS and Bureau of Land Management (BLM), including (but not limited to) areas now within Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park; Glen Canyon National

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...

Hormone levels (corticosterone, testosterone) and associated sampling information (date, year, month, reproductive season, sampling location, time to bleed) from free-ranging male invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in South Florida. Dataset also includes morphometric data (mass, length, circumference, age) of each individual male sampled during the years of 2018 to 2024.

Ecological models facilitate the evaluation of alternative approaches to restore the Greater Everglades ecosystem. However, the provision of useful and accessible models is a challenge because there is often a disconnect between model developers and model users such as natural resource managers and decision makers. Joint Ecosystem Modeling (JEM) meets this challenge by providing...

This data release provides the source data and results of a flood frequency analysis for sites in the Mendenhall River Basin, Alaska, that was conducted using USGS PeakFQ software (Veilleux and others, 2014; Flynn and others, 2006). Data are provided for two streamgages that had at least 10 years of annual peak-flow record. The data include streamgage information, PeakFQ input (.txt and...

This data release contains respiration and clearance rate data collected from laboratory experiments. Fatmucket mussels (Lampsilis siliquoidea) were placed in sealed containers to determine their oxygen consumption and excretion rates at two different environmentally relevant temperatures. Mussels were then placed into containers with food to determine how quickly they consume 2-60...

The orthoimagery, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Erie Ponds of the St. Louis River Area of Concern in Duluth, Minnesota in August 2020, prior to planned ecological restoration. Aerial images were collected using a DJI Phantom with FC6310 sensor at a nominal elevation of approximately 100 meters above the surface of the lake water. Data were...

This dataset describes fishes associated with the lower Colorado River basin in central Texas. The dataset is comprised of 1,835 records of individual fishes collected by boat electrofishing at 36 sites in Bastrop, Travis, Fayette, and Colorado counties from December 2014 through September 2017. Each record reports the collection date, county, river basin, gear type, scientific name...

This dataset comprises 20 records of length and weight measurements from juvenile Gray Redhorse (Moxostoma congestum) derived from Colorado River, Texas parentage. These individuals were spawned in April 2021 and measured at the time of sacrifice in July 2022. Each record reports common name, scientific name, total length in millimeters, weight in kilograms, sex and maturity stage...

The orthoimagery, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Lincoln Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Photos were collected in August 2021, prior to planned ecological restoration within the Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern. Aerial images were collected using a DJI Phantom with FC6310 sensor at an elevation of approximately 100 meters above the study site...

These data were collected as part of a larger Monitoring and Adaptive Management project, approved by the Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group, investigating juvenile Gulf sturgeon (Acipenser desotoi) winter habitat use across the species' range to address data gaps in baseline status and conditions, restoration needs, and framework for monitoring restoration success. From 2020 to...

The orthomosaic, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Otter Creek in Toledo, Ohio in September 2020, prior to planned ecological restoration. The study site is part of the Maumee Area of Concern being restored as part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Aerial images were collected using a DJI Phantom with FC6310 sensor at an elevation of...
