Data from the assessment of sediment-retention ponds near Delta, Colorado, 2019 Data from the assessment of sediment-retention ponds near Delta, Colorado, 2019
In 2019, soil samples were collected at selected sediment-retention ponds in the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area, near Delta, Colorado. This dataset includes pond location, pond characteristics, soil-moisture data, soil-chemistry data, and geophysical data. Pond locations were surveyed using real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems (RTK-GNSS) methods and...

Hydrologic Model Evaluation and Time-Series Tools (HyMETT) R-package Hydrologic Model Evaluation and Time-Series Tools (HyMETT) R-package
Hydrologic Model and Evaluation Time-series Tools (HyMETT) software facilitates the analysis and evaluation of hydrologic model output and time-series data with functions focused on comparison of modeled and observed data, period-of-record statistics, and trends.
Soil, Plant, and Elevation Characteristics of Tidal and Managed Impounded Wetlands in Suisun Marsh, California, USA (2018-2019) Soil, Plant, and Elevation Characteristics of Tidal and Managed Impounded Wetlands in Suisun Marsh, California, USA (2018-2019)
These datasets provide information on soil properties, plant species cover, and soil surface elevation in a tidal wetland and a managed impounded wetland in northern Suisun Marsh, California, USA. These data support the following publication: Jones, S.F., Schutte, C.A., Roberts, B.J. and Thorne, K.M., 2022. Seasonal impoundment management reduces nitrogen cycling but not resilience to...
Characteristics of Bacteria and Water Quality along the Buffalo National River 2017-2018 Characteristics of Bacteria and Water Quality along the Buffalo National River 2017-2018
A National Park Service Partnership Program project was conducted in 2017 - 2019 on water quality parameters up-stream and downstream of a confined animal feeding operation on a Buffalo National River tributary (Big Creek). Monthly, over a period of 20 months, patterns of nutrients in water (nitrogen and phosphorus), periphyton (chlorophyll a and algal assemblages), and bacterial...
Concentrations of pesticides in multiple matrices to measure exposure of wild bees visiting pollinator hedgerows in northern California Concentrations of pesticides in multiple matrices to measure exposure of wild bees visiting pollinator hedgerows in northern California
To better understand the exposure of wild bees to pesticides in an agricultural landscape, samples were collected from fields in northern California. Hedgerows are known to provide habitat for wild bees, but these bees may also be exposed to pesticides from nearby agricultural fields. The study included eight hedgerow sites located in an intensively managed agricultural landscape that...
