Data

These data were compiled to examine analyte concentrations, including mercury and selenium, and stable isotopes in native and non-native fish across rivers in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Data were collected in 2016 and 2017. Tissue samples were collected as whole-body or muscle plugs (biopsies). Tissue samples were analyzed for stable isotopes in 772 samples, for selenium and 54...

Tree loss is increasing rapidly due to drought- and heat-related mortality and intensifying fire activity. Consequently, the fate of many forests depends on the ability of juvenile trees to withstand heightened climate and disturbance anomalies. Extreme climatic events, such as droughts and heatwaves, are increasing in frequency and severity, and trees in mountainous regions must contend...

Continuous water quality sensor data were collected at USGS 292939089544400 Wilkinson Bayou cutoff north of Wilkinson Bay, LA gage. Field water quality measurements were collected using a YSI EXO2 water quality sonde equipped with a data logger to capture hourly data using sensors for measuring water temperature, specific conductance, salinity, pH, oxidation and reduction potential (ORP)

We used mesocosms to evaluate the effects of drought on Nothonotus moorei (Yellowcheek Darter) and Nothonotus juliae (Yoke Darter) survival, growth, and behavior. Survival was low and did not differ between treatments. Yoke Darters gained mass in control treatments, whereas Yellowcheek Darters did not differ between treatments. Habitat-use varied between treatment and species, with...

This geologic database is a digitized version of the original 1:24,000-scale analog geologic map titled "Preliminary geologic map of the Monkeys Head quadrangle, Mohave and La Paz Counties, Arizona", published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1988. The Monkeys Head 7.5-minute quadrangle is located at the confluence of the Colorado and Bill Williams Rivers in westernmost Arizona...

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...
