Data Describing the Presence of Live Trees for Three Years in Sentinel-2 Pixels Across Four Fires in California, USA Data Describing the Presence of Live Trees for Three Years in Sentinel-2 Pixels Across Four Fires in California, USA
This dataset represents photointerpretation of live tree presence and raw pixel values from 500 randomly selected Sentinel-2 pixels across four fires in the state of California. This dataset was used to run random forest models to predict live tree presence in the Cabin Fire, Rough Fire, Pier Fire, and Schaeffer Fire at 1, 3, and 5 years post fire.
Acoustic detection and biological data for Lake Trout, Salvelinus namaycush, in Lake Ontario Acoustic detection and biological data for Lake Trout, Salvelinus namaycush, in Lake Ontario
Acoustic Telemetry is gaining popularity for use in fisheries research as a method to estimate survival and observe behaviors of native fish species. Methodology for capture and tagging of fish is typically context and species-specific, requiring a case by case basis for best practices to maximize survival of tagged individuals. This dataset includes acoustic detection data from 320...
Plant diversity data following utility-scale solar energy development in the Mojave Desert, 2023-2024 Plant diversity data following utility-scale solar energy development in the Mojave Desert, 2023-2024
These data were compiled to document changes to plant community composition following large-scale energy development. The objective of our study was to evaluate plant diversity responses to energy development at multiple scales, and to compare plant diversity within solar panel microsites. These data were collected between 2023 and 2024 in the Mojave Desert, approximately 50 km northeast...
Biomarkers of laboratory-exposed Northern leopard frogs to neonicotinoids: serum cortisol, serum protein, and brain acetylcholinesterase Biomarkers of laboratory-exposed Northern leopard frogs to neonicotinoids: serum cortisol, serum protein, and brain acetylcholinesterase
Data collection of spectrophotometric data regarding levels of serum cortisol, serum protein, brain acetylcholinesterase, and brain protein biomarkers were obtained from blood and brain tissues of Northern leopard frogs exposed to neonicotinoid insecticides in the laboratory.
Drilling, construction, geophysical data, and lithologic log for borehole USGS 150 Drilling, construction, geophysical data, and lithologic log for borehole USGS 150
In 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Research Drilling Program, based in Nevada, subcontracted with WOOD PLC to drill and construct borehole USGS 150 (USGS site 433521112581801). The borehole was continuously cored from approximately 18.3 to 1399 feet below land surface, with the primary objective of gathering geological, geophysical, and seismic data to enhance models for...
Capture-Mark-Recapture and Covariate Data for Demography of Sierra Nevada Yellow-legged Frogs (Rana sierrae) at Summit Meadow, Yosemite National Park, California, 2003-2022 Capture-Mark-Recapture and Covariate Data for Demography of Sierra Nevada Yellow-legged Frogs (Rana sierrae) at Summit Meadow, Yosemite National Park, California, 2003-2022
These data include capture and survey information for a meadow population of endangered Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frogs (Rana sierrae) at Yosemite National Park, California, USA, 2003-2022. The data also include remotely sensed weather covariates related to winter severity (annual April snow water equivalent) and drought severity (Palmer drought severity index) to evaluate their...
