Evaluating if abundance and behavior of shorebird species are related to restoration and habitat at Whiskey Island and Caminada Headland, Louisiana from 2012 to 2020 Evaluating if abundance and behavior of shorebird species are related to restoration and habitat at Whiskey Island and Caminada Headland, Louisiana from 2012 to 2020
Barrier islands provide resources and ecological services that are integral to economic and environmental interests, such as protection of coastal infrastructure and providing habitat for wildlife. Over time, barrier islands may become eroded and experience land loss, which require management actions to restore island integrity. The process of restoring barrier islands can create new...
North American duck populations and the Central U.S. hunters who hunt them North American duck populations and the Central U.S. hunters who hunt them
This data file is in long format, comprising time series of hunter abundance and behavior and duck abundance. Hunter information varies by administrative flyway (Mississippi and Central), whereas duck population abundance is summarized for both the Prairie Pothole Region and the continent. Duck information for the Prairie Pothole Region is for the U.S. portion only (Strata 41-49 of the...
Inventory of Large Slope Instabilities, Prince William Sound, Alaska Inventory of Large Slope Instabilities, Prince William Sound, Alaska
Steep glacial and paraglacial landscapes often exhibit evidence of gravitationally-driven slope deformation. In recently deglaciated coastal environments, catastrophic failures of these bedrock instabilities as rapid landslides have the potential to generate tsunamis that may pose hazards for communities, infrastructure, mariners, and important natural and cultural resources. We present...
Big sagebrush ages and presence locations in the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, New Mexico Big sagebrush ages and presence locations in the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, New Mexico
The data include ages and locations of presence/absence surveys for sagebrush (Artemesia tridentata) on the Bureau of Land Management Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, New Mexico. We sampled cross-sections of sagebrush along 11 General Land Office section survey lines and conducted growth ring analysis to produce inner-ring dates for 93 sagebrush plants. The presence/absence...
Database of Riparian Floodplain Boundaries for the San Carlos and Gila Rivers on the San Carlos Apache Reservation and Upper Gila River Watershed (1935 - 2021) Database of Riparian Floodplain Boundaries for the San Carlos and Gila Rivers on the San Carlos Apache Reservation and Upper Gila River Watershed (1935 - 2021)
We developed this spatial database of historic and current floodplains to analyze trends in vegetation conditions, identify areas more at risk of degradation, and assess the relationship between riparian vegetation dynamics and climate conditions.Our study area is the riparian areas along the San Carlos River and Gila River within the San Carlos Apache Reservation and the Upper Gila...
