These data were compiled to measure the stand structure, including age class distribution, of Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia and Y. jaegeriana) as measured on 61 1000 m2 plots.The objective of our study was to provide the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with demographic data, particularly on recruitment, of the Joshua trees for their use in decisions that the Service makes for the...

The dataset consists of projections of 1-12 months Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) between 1950-2099 for the contiguous United States from 20 climate models and 2 emission scenarios at a 4km spatial resolution. The SPEI dataset was developed using the SPEI package in R (Beguería & Vicente-Serrano, 2023). SPEI quantifies standardized departures in the balance...

Base flow, the groundwater contribution to streamflow, is beneficial data for analysis of groundwater-flow systems. This data release includes base-flow estimates and streamflow data for 471 Oregon streamgage sites. Categories of data include: (1) site information, (2) water year estimates of base flow and streamflow, and (3) daily estimates of base flow. Water-year base-flow estimates...

The U.S. Geological Survey completed a study of selected continuous and partial-record streams in New Jersey for a historical period (1950-79) and a current period (1990-2019) in order to better understand potential streamflow trends over time. The outcomes of this project will support New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and other agencies in water-supply planning, waste...

This data release reformats data fields from the STATSGO soil characteristics dataset (Schwarz and Alexander, 1995) as cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs). The COG format allows standard software tools to efficiently access the datasets over an internet connection. Please refer to the documentation of the source archive (Schwarz and Alexander, 1995) for additional details on the underlying...

The Chesapeake Bay watershed is home to over 18.5 million people and continues to experience rapid population growth. With changes in population and land development, understanding current conditions of streams within the watershed (status), and changes in condition over time (trends) is important for assessing stream health. This data release contains the output files for results of...

Note: this data release has been superseded by a new version. Please see new data release here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P14LXP88 Data were collected as part of a long-term capture-recapture program to assess the population dynamics of two long-lived, federally endangered catostomids in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. Lost River suckers (LRS; Deltistes luxatus) and shortnose suckers (SNS...

Data were collected as part of a long-term capture-recapture program to assess the population dynamics of two long-lived, federally endangered catostomids in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. Lost River suckers (LRS; Deltistes luxatus) and shortnose suckers (SNS; Chasmistes brevirostris) have been captured and tagged with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags during their spawning...

This data set includes concentrations of selected transformation products (TPs) of the tire antioxidant, 6PPD, including 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ) and 4-hydroxydiphenylamine (4-HDPA) in water samples collected during a rain event from two urban rivers in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada. In addition, mortality data from acute toxicity tests with aquatic larvae of the mayfly...

A stormwater pond in Cherokee Park, Madison, Wisconsin was monitored to determine if changes to street cleaning operations in the contributing drainage area would influence pollution reduction efficiency. Event-based water samples were collected from the ponds inlets and outlet from September 2020 through October 2024 and analyzed for nitrogen, phosphorus, sediment and chloride...

These data contain information on stream characteristics (intermittency and temperature), vegetation (canopy and algal cover), amphibian, reptile, and fish observations, and pathogen (amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) prevalence, all of which are relevant for the suitability of streams in Pinnacles National Park for the reintroduction of foothill yellow-legged...

U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists completed a data collection campaign from the 3rd of April to the 23rd of June in 2023, using various methods to record geomorphic and habitat indicators throughout 30 streams in southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. Field methods included GNSS surveys, gravelometer-based pebble count readings, visual assessments, and riparian analyses...
