Grazing Management Tool Grazing Management Tool
Science-based grazing management is crucial to preserving and improving rangeland productivity and sagebrush ecosystem health. By adjusting the timing, duration, frequency, and intensity of grazing, managers can contribute to ecosystem services such as fuel reduction and invasive annual grass control. They can also utilize rotational grazing to minimize or mitigate impacts on sensitive...
Uganda bird trends Uganda bird trends
Birds were surveyed using time-to-detection count methods across Uganda from 1985 to 2011. This code analyzes these data (from the associated data release) to test for relationships between tree cover, time (year), and species richness and occupancy.
ocelote 1.0.0 ocelote 1.0.0
This release introduces the ocelote package. The package includes routines to run assessments, manage assessment metadata, and upload assessments to Amazon S3 and ScienceBase. The package consists of the following commands: * authenticate s3: Acquires, tests, and stores credentials for S3 uploads * authenticate sciencebase: Acquires, tests, and stores credentials for ScienceBase uploads...
PWFDF Data Specification PWFDF Data Specification
This is a permanent record of all current and former versions of the PWFDF data specification. The spec describes: the organization of assessments on ScienceBase, ScienceBase metadata unique to the collection, and the files, data, and metadata contained within individual assessments.
A decision support tool for assessing current and future occupancy trends for boreal toads in the Southern Rocky Mountains A decision support tool for assessing current and future occupancy trends for boreal toads in the Southern Rocky Mountains
This is repository contains all publicly-released code and data supporting the Southern Rocky Mountains boreal toad decision support tool, which was developed as a part of a North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center-funded project entitled “A framework for guiding management decisions for amphibians in an uncertain future”, by Dr. Amanda M. Kissel (USGS), Dr. Erin Muths (USGS), Mae...
R code for the workflow and analysis of spatio-temporal analysis of smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) growth in Pennsylvania Rivers R code for the workflow and analysis of spatio-temporal analysis of smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) growth in Pennsylvania Rivers
Using a 36-year dataset of smallmouth bass length-at-age, we assess the effect of population density, average critical period temperature, and average spring flow rate on early life growth rate. We also looked at how a disease outbreak in 2004 impacted early life growth rates in reaches with and without the disease. The code in this release provides the R scripts to perform this analysis...
