Soil data release of U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1590, collected across the Western United States between 1975 and 1983 Soil data release of U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1590, collected across the Western United States between 1975 and 1983
Early studies of soil formation highlighted several key factors that together determine the degree of soil pedogenesis, which include climate, organisms (including vegetation), topography, and parent material (Jenny H.; 1941; Factors of Soil Formation, a System of Quantitative Pedology; https://doi.org/10.2134/agronj1941.00021962003300090016x). A soil chronosequence is defined as a...
Avian disease screening of translocated sage grouse captured in Montana, USA Avian disease screening of translocated sage grouse captured in Montana, USA
The purpose of this project is to determine the infectious status and exposure status of several diseases that have the potential to impact the health of greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) captured in Montana, USA to be translocated to Alberta, Canada. Specific disease status to be tested include, infection with avian influenza virus (AIV), infection with Avian Paramyxovirus...
Climate Impact Meteorological Stations (CLIM-MET) data from Canyonlands National Park, Utah (ver. 2.0, February 2026) Climate Impact Meteorological Stations (CLIM-MET) data from Canyonlands National Park, Utah (ver. 2.0, February 2026)
These CLIM-MET stations are meteorological stations that is designed to function in remote areas for long periods of time without human intervention. These stations measure meteorological and wind-erosion parameters under varying climatic and land-use conditions and can be used to detect and describe ongoing landscape changes. These data represent multiple years of local detailed...
Fuel Break Treatments in the Sagebrush Biome of the Western United States, 1953 - 2018 Fuel Break Treatments in the Sagebrush Biome of the Western United States, 1953 - 2018
To better inform fuel break planning and assessment, we developed a comprehensive spatial database of known existing fuel breaks from 1953 to 2018 throughout the western United States. Each fuel break is represented as a polygon in the database and is attributed with the date of installation, the treatment type employed, and the data source. The availability of these data promotes the...
