As part of the Breton Island Post Construction Monitoring project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted a nearshore geophysical survey in August 2024 to map the borrow site created during the Breton Island, Louisiana (LA) restoration effort that began in December 2020. The restoration effort was part of the Deepwater...

This data release contains tabular data for a regression model used to estimate daily mean chloride concentration from specific conductance, road salt application data, and mass balance data for a study of road salt runoff in Essex County, New York. Road salt application rates were provided by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYS DOT) and the Town of North Elba, NY. Data...

This dataset contains 253 samples from 11 occurrences of Chloropyron molle subsp. molle, and 3 occurrences of Chloropyron molle hispidum. Genomic markers were generated from ddRAD loci and analyzed using the Stacks v2.60 pipeline. The genotypes for all samples are provided in a VCF file with 40,707 independent loci . A companion sample data file is provided with sample names, and...

A series of laboratory studies were conducted to understand Sicklefin and Shoal Chub feeding rates and maximum ration. Data included determination of Chironomid weight, estimated by taking weights and counts of approximately 5 grams of laboratory cultured chironomids. Chub maximum ration was determined by finding the feeding rate of dry commercial fish food that thar resulted in complete

These data support a study with the purpose of better understanding science and data use in Federal public lands decisions in the United States. To do this, we assessed the number, type, and age of documents cited in 70 Environmental Assessments (EAs) completed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Colorado from 2015-2019. We focused on the BLM, as they manage the largest area of...

This dataset records Cladophora and associated benthic algae, collectively the Cladophora community or submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), biomass collected during the growing season of 2023 at stations located along the U.S. shoreline of Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. It also records a variety of supporting data collected at Cladophora measurement stations. These supporting...

Since 2008, large-scale restoration programs have been implemented along the Willamette River, Oregon, to address historical losses of floodplain habitats for native fish. For much of the Willamette River floodplain, direct enhancement of floodplain habitats through restoration activities is needed because the underlying hydrologic, geomorphic, and vegetation processes that historically...

This dataset contains 17 fluvial and hillslope planforms for a 2.25 km section of the Nooksack River and adjacent Clay Banks landslide complex in northwestern Washington State spanning 1933-2022. Data include polygon and line features of river and hillslope planform structures for each year including landslides, the active river channel, the floodplain corridor, and vegetated floodplain...

Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to the supply and demand of ecosystem goods and services that maintain human well-being. A recent review found that the impacts of climate change on ecosystem services are sometimes mixed, posing challenges for managers who need to adapt to these changes. We expand on earlier work by exploring drivers of varying responses of...

The Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI) uses a scoring system that integrates a species’ exposure to projected climate change within an assessment area, including sea level rise, and three sets of factors associated with climate change sensitivity, each supported by published studies: 1) species-specific sensitivity and adaptive capacity factors, 2) threat multipliers such as...

USGS’s Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville are undertaking research to support southeastern states and partners engaged in the process of preparing revisions of State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAPs). This effort focuses specifically on integration of climate change into SWAPs. This data product provides a collation of estimates of species
