Land management treatments in sagebrush steppe are an important opportunity to break the annual-grass fire cycle, provided they offer long-lasting resistance to annual-grass invasion and do not burn. However, for BLM areas seeded as part of the Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation (ESR) program, one of the largest programs for land management treatments, about 1/4 have at least...

Data includes monthly-average projected changes to climate for a 23-member ensemble of CMIP6 SSP2-4.5 GCMs downscaled using NASA’s Land Information System. Average snow outputs are generated using these climate projections for 20-year periods between 2016 and 2095. More information on this data, and comparisons versus various community snow projections in mountainous regions can be found...

The dataset includes 2024-2051 estimates of projected United States Federal mineral rights lands coal production and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from mining, transporting, and combusting that fuel. The data cover six states and 30 coal mines. It is divided into four tables, one of coal production and three of GHG emissions. The coal production is presented with three...

The Willwood Working Group Two of Wyoming conducted an experimental sediment release from Willwood Dam from April 11-13, 2023. The experiment involved opening sluice gates at the base of Willwood Dam to draw down the dam pool which created energy to mobilize sediment deposits behind the dam. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation released up to 4,000 cubic feet per second from Buffalo Bill Dam...

This dataset contains gene transcription results for Pacific salmon occupying freshwater habitats in various Alaskan watersheds. This data release includes two tables: 1) gene transcription results from muscle samples collected from Pacific salmon occupying freshwater habitats ("pacificSalmon_geneTranscription_values.csv"), and 2) a data dictionary providing the names, definitions, and...

Phenological correction of pre- and post-fire imagery is used to improve remotely-sensed burn severity predictions by standardizing vegetation greenness between image pairs. However, the efficacy of existing methods across diverse fire conditions and scenarios remains underexplored. In this study, we evaluated the impact of phenological offset corrections across various methodological...

This metadata presents a dataset of bacterial (microbiota), and fungal (mycobiota) communities associated with Ixodes scapularis ticks collected from hunter-harvested white-tailed deer during the 2022 fall hunting season in Wisconsin. Deer were hunted across eleven counties in Wisconsin. Engorged ticks were collected from deer at the deer-weighing station in Fort McCoy in Monroe County...

This data release contains one table of genetic data (mitochondrial haplotypes and nuclear microsatellite genotypes) used to evaluate utility of two morphological measures (culmen length and plumage color) to correctly identify groups of hunter-harvested dusky (Branta canadensis occidentalis) and dusky-like Canada geese on wintering grounds within the Pacific Flyway of North America...

This data package includes genotype data for two independent sets of American black bear (Ursus americanus) samples. The first set of samples was collected from 85 adult bears harvested by permitted hunters in southcentral Alaska from 1994-2019; we hereafter refer to these as "hunter-harvested" samples. These hunter-harvested samples were genotyped with restriction site-associated...

These data were compiled to highlight hybridization mosaics and genotype-environment associations across three study systems containing taxa critical to widespread plant communities in western North America: Artemisia tridentata, Ericameria nauseosa, and Sphaeralcea fendleri. Objective(s) of our study were to: (1) use genomic data to identify divergent evolutionary lineages (hereafter...

This dataset provides sample data and NCBI accession information for genomic sequencing of Gray-headed Chickadee and Boreal Chickadee from North America and Russia.

This dataset contains sample information about the origin of the Desmognathus wrighti and Plethodon jordani salamanders collected from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and sequenced, and their corresponding SNP genotype data. These data were used to examine patterns of genomic structure of these two salamander species within Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The raw sequence data...
