Data

This dataset includes sediment temperature data collected from seven locations within the Big Soos creek basin from July 2023 to July 2024. Data collection took place at two locations on Covington Creek and Big Soos Creek, and single locations on Jenkins Creek, Little Soos Creek, and Soosette Creek. See "BigSoos.sites.csv" for field IDs, descriptions, and locations of these seven sites...

A total of 1796 tree seedlings comprised of 11 species (eight families) native to the region were selected to research the possible influence of plant traits and weeding maintenance on seedling survival. The data set includes five years of plant measurements and survival data (fate) for 1796 individual seedlings planted throughout 22 plots in 4 stands with 50% of the plots receiving...

The study compared the survival of zebra mussels and benthic macroinvertebrates after a 5-day treatment with carbon dioxide infusion under a tarp and a benthic mat. The study was conducted on Loon Lake, Benzie County, Michigan within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The data include water quality (dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature) and water chemistry, zebra mussel mortality and...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents monthly evaporation estimates from Lake Mead, Nevada and Arizona, for January 2021 through December 2023. The spreadsheet includes five worksheets: (1) Read_Me worksheet contains information relevant to understanding the data contained in the rest of the worksheets. (2) Monthly_EC_Met worksheet includes data measured at a land-based...

After flooding events, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) identifies and surveys high-water marks (HWMs) to inform flood assessments, research, and water resource management. These HWMs are empirical evidence of a flood's maximum water surface elevation in a given location. The documented and surveyed HWMs are subsequently published to the USGS Flood Event Viewer for long-term...

Monitoring plant life stages (i.e., phenology) is pertinent to land management as phenological dynamics reflect the vegetation response to changes in weather and disturbance and to changes in vegetation composition. Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) invasion has threatened habitats and economies across the western U.S. The phenology of EAG species, such as cheatgrass, differs from native...

This data release includes 1) results from intact sediment core experiments to measure nutrient release and uptake from sediments in the Maumee River mouth and adjacent nearshore areas. 2) physical and chemical properties of sediments sampled at the same sites where sediments were collected for intact core experiments, plus additional sites in the area. 3) Results of water column...

We conducted an infection experiment to evaluate how little brown bats from two distinct hibernacula in Michigan responded to a standardized exposure to the causative agent of white-nose syndrome. The dataset includes individual bat survival, body weight measurements, infection load assessments, and histological analyses. Additionally, we collected in situ infection load data from bats...

These data represent two years of trapping effort for invasive black and white tegu lizards (Salvator merianae) in South Florida. Over the course of the two years, traps were deployed in the same locations, but the type of bait in the trap varied. Bait treatment types consisted of a single real chicken egg (traditionally used in the past), 3 real eggs, 3 fake wooden eggs, 2 fake wooden...

This data set was collected as part of structured decision-making workshops designed to build Bayesian Decision Networks of habitat management actions in wetlands of the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture region. The models were created as part of an adaptive management framework to reduce uncertainty about management actions. We used formal elicitation process for expert judgment where...

These data were compiled to estimate vulnerability to multiple drivers of ecological change at the landscape scale in southeastern Utah based on sensitivity to state change and spatial exposure of Ecological Site Groups (ESGs) developed by Nauman et al. (2022). The objectives of our study were to: (1) estimate sensitivity of ESGs to aridification, livestock grazing, invasive species...

These data include information from 74 sampled stream reaches in the Osage Ecological Drainage Unit (EDU) within the Osage River Basin, Missouri. Streams with a Strahler order from three to six were systematically sampled to assess Niangua darter resource selection across three spatial scales macrohabitat, reach, and watershed scale. Variables used to explain Niangua darter presence at...
