Historical and future ecological drought conditions for rangelands of the western U.S. Historical and future ecological drought conditions for rangelands of the western U.S.
These NetCDF data were compiled to investigate how rangelands in the western U.S. are limited by access to water. As a result, these ecosystems may be especially vulnerable to changes in water availability and drought as a result of climate change. This project utilized an ecosystem water balance model to quantify spatial and temporal patterns of rangeland ecological drought conditions...
High-resolution maps of historical and 21st century soil temperature and moisture data using multivariate matching algorithms for drylands of western U.S. and Canada High-resolution maps of historical and 21st century soil temperature and moisture data using multivariate matching algorithms for drylands of western U.S. and Canada
These data were compiled as a supplement to a previously published journal article (Bradford et al., 2019), that employed a ecosystem water balance model to characterize current and future patterns in soil temperature and moisture conditions in dryland areas of western North America. Also, these data are associated with a published USGS data release (Bradford and Schlaepfer, 2019). The...
High-resolution maps of projected big sagebrush plant community biomass for 52 future climate scenarios using multivariate matching algorithms High-resolution maps of projected big sagebrush plant community biomass for 52 future climate scenarios using multivariate matching algorithms
These data were compiled for the study: Divergent climate change effects on widespread dryland plant communities driven by climatic and ecohydrological gradients. The objectives of our study were to (1) describe how climate change will alter the biomass and composition of key plant functional types; (2) quantify the impacts of climate change on future functional type biomass and...
High-resolution maps of historical and 21st century ecological drought metrics using multivariate matching algorithms for drylands of western U.S. and Canada High-resolution maps of historical and 21st century ecological drought metrics using multivariate matching algorithms for drylands of western U.S. and Canada
These data were compiled using a new multivariate matching algorithm that transfers simulated soil moisture conditions (Bradford et al. 2020) from an original 10-km resolution to a 30-arcsec spatial resolution. Also, these data are a supplement to a previously published journal article (Bradford et al., 2020) and USGS data release (Bradford and Schlaepfer, 2020). The objectives of our...
Location Data for Petrographic Samples and Isotopic and Age Data from Detrital Zircon Grains from Selected Rock Samples from St. Lawrence Island and the Western Brooks Range, Alaska Location Data for Petrographic Samples and Isotopic and Age Data from Detrital Zircon Grains from Selected Rock Samples from St. Lawrence Island and the Western Brooks Range, Alaska
This dataset contains a list of geologic station localities on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, from which thin section samples were examined. The dataset also contains U-Pb isotopic data and ages of detrital zircon (DZ) from sedimentary rocks collected on St. Lawrence Island and in the western Brooks Range. All St. Lawrence Island samples (DZ and thin sections) were collected by U.S...
Data Used to Assess the Acute Physiological Response of Polar Bears to Helicopter Capture Data Used to Assess the Acute Physiological Response of Polar Bears to Helicopter Capture
This dataset is in five tables with data from ecophysiological studies of free-ranging polar bears of the Southern Beaufort Sea subpopulation. They were equipped with high-resolution activity sensors, body temperature loggers, and GPS satellite-telemetry collars, to compare physiological state and activity of bears during natural behavior with that experienced by bears during helicopter...
Data from a 2019 occupancy survey of alligator snapping turtles, Macrochelys temminckii, in south-central Louisiana Data from a 2019 occupancy survey of alligator snapping turtles, Macrochelys temminckii, in south-central Louisiana
This dataset contains data on trapping methodology, turtle captures, and environmental variables from a trapping effort targeting alligator snapping turtles (Macrochelys temminckii) in south-central Louisiana in 2019.
Co-occurance Simulation Modeling Co-occurance Simulation Modeling
R-based script used to simulate patterns of co-occurrence among two hypothetical species under patterns of avoidance, aggregation, and independence when the closure assumption is met or not, analyze simulated patterns with two-species occupancy models, and summarize the results.
Annual (1986-2020) land-use/land cover maps of the Santa Cruz Watershed and Tucson metropolitan area, Arizona Annual (1986-2020) land-use/land cover maps of the Santa Cruz Watershed and Tucson metropolitan area, Arizona
Annual (1986-2020) land-use/land cover maps at 30-meter resolution of the Tucson metropolitan area, Arizona and the greater Santa Cruz Watershed including Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. Maps were created using a combination of Landsat imagery, derived transformation and indices, texture analysis and other ancillary data fed to a Random Forest classifier in Google Earth Engine. The maps contain...
CAST Data Input Disaggregation from County and Land-River Segment Scale to National Hydrography Dataset Plus, Version 1.1 CAST Data Input Disaggregation from County and Land-River Segment Scale to National Hydrography Dataset Plus, Version 1.1
The detrimental effects of excess nutrients and sediment entering the Chesapeake Bay estuary from its watersheds have necessitated regulatory actions. Federally-mandated reductions are apportioned to bay jurisdictions based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Chesapeake Bay Time-Variable Watershed Model (CBPM). The Chesapeake Assessment Scenario Tool (CAST version CAST-19; cast
Vascular plant diversity and associated environmental variables along the Elwha River, Washington, 2005-2017 Vascular plant diversity and associated environmental variables along the Elwha River, Washington, 2005-2017
The data release presents observations of riparian vegetation, topography, soil characteristics, and ground cover in three river segments located above, below, and between the former Glines Canyon and Elwha Dams on the Elwha River, near Port Angeles, WA (river kilometers 2.5 to 31) to assess effects of dam removal on riparian vegetation. Vegetation data were collected before dam removal...
Baseline fish health metrics in at-risk habitats critical for pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) in the Upper Missouri River Basin and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the Flathead River, Montana, 2017-18 Baseline fish health metrics in at-risk habitats critical for pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) in the Upper Missouri River Basin and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the Flathead River, Montana, 2017-18
Baseline fish health information on pallid sturgeon and bull trout or appropriate surrogate species (shovelnose sturgeon, cutthroat trout, mountain whitefish) in critical habitats with elevated risks of oil spills. Shovelnose sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) were collected in three locations near the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers and cutthroat trout...
