Greater sage-grouse genetic warning system, western United States (ver 1.1, January 2023) Greater sage-grouse genetic warning system, western United States (ver 1.1, January 2023)

Genetic variation is a well-known indicator of population fitness yet is not typically included in monitoring programs for sensitive species. Additionally, most programs monitor populations at one scale, which can lead to potential mismatches with ecological processes critical to species’ conservation. Recently developed methods generating hierarchically nested population units (i.e...

Hydrologic simulations using projected climate data as input to the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) for the Trinity River Basin Integrated Water Availability Assessment, Texas, 2023 Hydrologic simulations using projected climate data as input to the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) for the Trinity River Basin Integrated Water Availability Assessment, Texas, 2023

The Trinity River Basin is a major source of water for a large part of Texas that includes the rapidly growing Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metropolitan areas. An application of the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) was used to conduct hydrologic simulations for the Trinity River Basin surface water model. Climate variables including daily precipitation, daily maximum...

Data from: Decision science for management of coastal ecosystems Data from: Decision science for management of coastal ecosystems

Coastal management decisions are complex and include challenging tradeoffs. Decision science offers a useful framework to address such complex problems. We illustrate the process with several coastal restoration studies. Our capstone example is based on a recent barrier island restoration assessment project at Dauphin Island, Alabama, which included the development of geomorphological...

Conservation Reserve Program Acreage by County Conservation Reserve Program Acreage by County

This dataset contains information regarding the acreages of land currently (as of 2004) enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) distributed by county and the year the CRP contract was initiated (1987-2004, excluding 1994 and 1995). Additionally, it contains total acreages of land enrolled in the CRP distributed by county and the contract year (1987-2003). USDA Farm Service...

Agricultural lands within the Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Assessment Study Area Agricultural lands within the Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Assessment Study Area

Agricultural land cover in the study area for the conservation assessment of Greater Sage-grouse conducted by the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. This dataset was developed from Sagestitch, an Eastern Washington Shrubsteppe Mapping Project, several state-level Gap Analysis Program (GAP) land cover products (AZ, CA, NM, OR, and WA), National Land Cover Data (NLCD) (ND...
