This model application data release contains seasonal source-specific estimates of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) loading in streams across the conterminous United States (263,494 reaches) for 21 years from 2000 through 2020 using a dynamic SPARROW (SPAtially Referenced Regressions On Watershed attributes) model. All model files are provided to reproduce the output...

We downscaled global climate simulations we previously conducted with the GENMOM coupled atmosphere ocean general circulation model at T31 resolution (~3.71° latitude × 3.75° longitude) by progressively nesting 50- and 15-km configurations of the hydrostatic version of the RegCM5 regional climate model over Western North America (WNA). The extent of the 50-km model domain captures key...

Coqui frogs in the genus Eleutherodactylus in Puerto Rico are threatened by projected warming and drying trends. This study isolates relative humidity as a performance variable affecting desiccation tolerance in Eleutherodactylus antillensis, a species that spans both high elevation (cool, moist) and low elevation (hot, dry) environments across the island. Specimens from Maricao (high...

This data release contains sample information for a project using genotyping-in-thousands by sequencing (GT-seq) to identify to species early life coregonine fishes that were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from Lake Superior in 2019-2021. Sample data are provided for both the larval and age-1 coregonines that underwent genetic identification and the reference fishes collected...

Earthquake catalogs are essential data inputs for seismic hazard modeling. Because earthquake magnitudes are reported in a variety of types (e.g., local magnitudes, moment magnitudes), magnitude conversion relationships must be used to convert the different magnitude types present in a catalog to a uniform magnitude type to avoid biases in the hazard computation. However, these...

Scientists and engineers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS) Cal/Val Center of Excellence (ECCOE) collected in situ measurements using field spectrometers to support the validation of surface reflectance products derived from Earth observing remote sensing imagery. Data provided in this data release were collected during select...

Ecological models facilitate the evaluation of alternative approaches to restore the Greater Everglades ecosystem. However, the provision of useful and accessible models is a challenge because there is often a disconnect between model developers and model users such as natural resource managers and decision makers. Joint Ecosystem Modeling (JEM) meets this challenge by providing...

This data release provides a variety of water quality benchmarks, compiled from multiple publications and attributed to the NHDPlus v2.1 hydrography, for the conterminous United States (CONUS) for use in integrated water availability studies for evaluating altered water conditions and potential ecological impacts. To avoid ambiguity in terms, for the purpose of this data release, we use...

This data set contains tabular simulation model output from the Land Use and Carbon Simulator (LUCAS) summarizing annual changes in land use and land cover (LULC), ecosystem carbon stocks and ecosystem carbon fluxes within 62 U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) installations covering a total land area of approximately 106 hectares across the contiguous United States (CONUS) from 2001 to...

This dataset includes geospatial results of the following Urban Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (Urban InVEST) ecosystem service models for the years 2001, 2011, and 2021 for metropolitan areas in the contiguous United States: Urban Cooling, Urban Nature Access, Urban Stormwater Retention, and Carbon Storage & Sequestration. The Urban Cooling results include heat...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) samples were collected from fecal and pollen samples in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA, and Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada, between 2013 and 2023. Sample contents were analyzed using eDNA metabarcoding of the trnL gene. This dataset contains the raw metabarcoding results, a list of local plant species, and the updated metabarcoding results...

This data release includes citation details, abstracts, and results of a semi-automated content analysis for 322 publications we identified on the topic of the potential effects of fire and post-fire management on soil condition and stability in North America. We first conducted a structured literature search to identify potentially relevant publications. We compiled a benchmark set of...
