Sabine Refuge Marsh Creation (CS-28): 2021 land-water classification Sabine Refuge Marsh Creation (CS-28): 2021 land-water classification
The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to...
Large-Scale Marsh Creation Project – Upper Barataria Component (BA-0207): 2021 land-water classification Large-Scale Marsh Creation Project – Upper Barataria Component (BA-0207): 2021 land-water classification
The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority and the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) develop restoration plans in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions...
Plant responses to and microbial community composition of greenhouse soils growing Phragmites australis Plant responses to and microbial community composition of greenhouse soils growing Phragmites australis
To determine how native and non-native lineages of Phragmites australis affect and respond to soil bacteria, fungi and oomycetes, we collected live rhizomes, seeds and soil from native and non-native lineages of Phragmites from 10 sites within Michigan and Ohio, USA. We propagated these field-collected samples to carry out a reciprocal-transplant plant-soil feedback experiment with...
Roads within 13 tracts of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge in South Texas: 2004 and 2024 Roads within 13 tracts of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge in South Texas: 2004 and 2024
Border barrier construction along the USA-Mexico border has resulted in an increase in border patrol and construction vehicle activity near and within the Lower Rio Grande Valley Wildlife Refuge (LRGVNWR) system, which is located along the Rio Grande River near the USA-Mexico border in Cameron, Hidalgo, and Starr counties in south Texas (USA). This data release characterizes road...
Sediment core data from Henrys Lake, Idaho Sediment core data from Henrys Lake, Idaho
This data release includes measurements of properties from sedimentary cores collected from Henrys Lake in Idaho. We present a CSV with basic information about the cores (e.g., length, collection location, water depth), and three CSVs with the fallout radionuclide (FRN), particle size analysis (PSA), and radiocarbon (RC) data. It also has three child items with x-ray computed tomography...
Coupled ADCIRC+SWAN simulations of Lake Superior with surface ice cover in February 2020 Coupled ADCIRC+SWAN simulations of Lake Superior with surface ice cover in February 2020
The analyses of the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory's (GLERL) historical ice cover data during 1973–2021 indicate that warmer winters with reduced surface ice cover have become more frequent in the last two decades (1995–2021) compared to the previous decades (1973–1995) in the Great Lakes. In the past two decades, for example, years with lower-than-normal ice cover have...
