Data

This dataset contains predictions of habitat suitability of reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) in Upper Mississippi River floodplain forest understories from Pool 3 to Pool 13. Predictions were created using three machine learning algorithms (Bayesian additive regression trees, boosted trees, and random forest). This dataset contains rasters that provide habitat suitability...

These data were part of a tracking study of adult female caribou from the Nelchina Herd in Alaska. The dataset is comprised of two comma separated values (.csv) files. Data includes: 1) processed (i.e., erroneous locations removed) GPS locations for caribou, received once per 7 hours (October 1999 to October 2002), and 2) spatial, temporal, and biological attributes of the female caribou...

Lake water level fluctuations are an important factor driving variation in many ecosystem processes. The nearshore sediments that are periodically exposed and re-inundated can develop distinct physical and chemical characteristics, especially in relationship to the organic matter content of the sediments and the particle size distribution. These sediment characteristics in turn can alter...

We evaluated the efficacy of carbon dioxide (CO2) for preventing settlement of the biofouling quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis) in raw water systems. Trials were conducted in a mobile laboratory located at the US Bureau of Reclamation, Davis Dam Hydropower Facility, and supplied with raw water from the Colorado River. Incoming water was split between five chambers where CO2 was...

Detection of environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a commonly used surveillance method for threatened or invasive vertebrates in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. However, use of eDNA methodologies for the detection of aquatic invertebrates (e.g., crayfish and insects) has been limited. Environmental DNA protocols can be especially useful for endangered invertebrates such as the...

Invasive carp pose substantial economic and ecological damage when populations are widespread in freshwater systems within the United States of America (USA). Resource managers in the USA have a limited number of chemical control tools to selectively remove nuisance fish. The present study examined whether Antimycin-A (antimycin) wax encapsulated microparticles could cause selective...

Understanding sediment nutrient dynamics in the Milwaukee River Basin is important for assessing water quality and stream habitat. The Milwaukee River is a major tributary to Lake Michigan that provides clean drinking water for over one million people. Urban and agricultural runoff are linked to elevated loads of phosphorus, nitrogen, and sediment in the river. Excessive nutrients can...

Riverine silicon (Si) plays a vital role in governing primary production, water quality, and carbon sequestration. The Global Aggregation of Stream Silica (GlASS) database was constructed to assess changes in riverine Si concentrations and fluxes, their relationship to available nutrients, and to evaluate mechanisms driving these patterns. GlASS includes dissolved Si (DSi), dissolved...

These are the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) summer month occupancy values derived from acoustic sampling and associated collection site environmental and weather covariates for the New England region, United States, 2015-2022.

The dataset is a 3 m spatial resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) representing terrain heights in northern Vicksburg, MS and Vicksburg National Military Park in 1962. The DEM was created using structure from motion-aided (SfM-aided) photogrammetry techniques in Agisoft Metashape (v 2.1.1). The aerial images were acquired on February 10, 1962 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture at

The dataset is a 0.5 m spatial resolution panchromatic (black and white - B&W) orthomosaic of northern Vicksburg, MS and Vicksburg National Military Park in 1938.The orthomosaic was created from aerial images acquired on June 14, 1938 by Pan American Aerial Surveys for the U.S. Department of Agriculture at approximately 1:20,000 scale by a Fairchild K-10 or similar aerial camera with 5in...

Marsh migration potential in the Chesapeake Bay (CB) salt marshes is calculated in terms of available migration area for each marsh unit defined by Ackerman and others (2022). The space available for landward migration is based on the NOAA marsh migration predictions under 2.0 feet of local sea-level rise (SLR). The migration space is further divided by National Hydrography Dataset (NHD)...
