Model Outputs Showing Optimized Grassland Restoration Sites in the Great Plains Region of Kansas Model Outputs Showing Optimized Grassland Restoration Sites in the Great Plains Region of Kansas

Ecological restoration is essential to meet global biodiversity conservation goals. Given limited conservation budgets, deciding where to restore habitat is a key challenge for the coming decade. This dataset includes optimal restoration sites selected from multiple restoration model scenarios. We developed a modeling approach to maximize conservation benefit/restoration cost ratios to...

Macroinvertebrate and redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberrii) diet data for watercourses in the Goose Lake Basin, Oregon, U.S.A., 2024 Macroinvertebrate and redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberrii) diet data for watercourses in the Goose Lake Basin, Oregon, U.S.A., 2024

We collected aquatic macroinvertebrate and redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberrii) diet data in the Oregon portion of the Goose Lake Basin. Data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Oregon State University (OSU) to monitor prey communities in the Basin, and to relate observed prey abundances to specific habitat features. Sampling was conducted based on previous...

Residential Survey to Understand Perceptions of Wildfire Risk and Management in Guam Between 2019 to 2021 Residential Survey to Understand Perceptions of Wildfire Risk and Management in Guam Between 2019 to 2021

An online survey of 189 residents in Guam was conducted between 2019 and 2021 to understand perceptions pertaining to wildfire risk, current wildfire management, and physical effects. This data collection aimed to understand what Guam residents think about wildfires, what they know about wildfire management, if there are relationships between demographics and accuracy of perceptions.

Adaptation Planting Projects Survey Results Across the Midwest Lake States in 2021-2022 Adaptation Planting Projects Survey Results Across the Midwest Lake States in 2021-2022

Climate-driven stressors, non-native insects, and emerging diseases increasingly impact forest health across the Great Lakes region. Forest management strategies are required to mitigate these impacts. We examined one strategy, tree planting for adaptation to climate and emerald ash borer (hereafter referred to as adaptation plantings), as an approach for establishing tree species...

Pueblo de San Ildefonso Landscape Management Literature Review Pueblo de San Ildefonso Landscape Management Literature Review

To meet the goals of the project, the Pueblo de San Ildefonso’s Department of Environmental and Cultural Preservation (DECP) first undertook a literature review of existing data and information to identify relevant materials, reach out to partners at nearby public lands, and conduct a targeted literature search. The literature review incorporates 79 resources (i.e., media article...

2023 Environmental DNA (eDNA) Baseline to Monitor Intertidal Biodiversity in Waters Adjacent to Mixed Coarse Substrate Habitats Across the Boston Harbor Islands 2023 Environmental DNA (eDNA) Baseline to Monitor Intertidal Biodiversity in Waters Adjacent to Mixed Coarse Substrate Habitats Across the Boston Harbor Islands

This data set contains environmental DNA (eDNA) data enumerating the presence of intertidal marine vertebrates, invertebrates, and macro algae collected across 5 islands with 10 sites in the Boston Harbor in 2023. This data was collected using water samples collected in association with other intertidal biodiversity monitoring protocols developed specifically for the mixed coarse...

Estimated Current and Future Community Suitability of Pinyon and Juniper Woodlands for 3 Emissions Scenario Pathways (SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5) and Bivariate Comparisons Across Western North America Estimated Current and Future Community Suitability of Pinyon and Juniper Woodlands for 3 Emissions Scenario Pathways (SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5) and Bivariate Comparisons Across Western North America

These data consist of gridded projected pinyon-juniper community-level suitability values across western North America. The objectives of our study were to estimate community-level suitability for pinyon-juniper woodlands under current and future climate conditions and compare geographic patterns in suitability against additional management considerations, such as burn probability and...

Data summaries and visualizations for projected Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) metrics within Fire Danger Rating Areas in Alaska (1980–2099) Data summaries and visualizations for projected Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) metrics within Fire Danger Rating Areas in Alaska (1980–2099)

Customized products were created for fire management partners in Alaska by leveraging projected Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System metrics produced by Young et al. (2025). This input dataset contains daily projections from 1980 through 2099 for key fire danger metrics including Buildup Index, Drought Code, Duff Moisture Code, Fine Fuel Moisture Code, Fire Weather Index, and...

Planning for the Future of Aquatic Flows: A Comprehensive Database of River Water Quality Literature in the United States from 1997-2024 Planning for the Future of Aquatic Flows: A Comprehensive Database of River Water Quality Literature in the United States from 1997-2024

This dataset is a "catalog of literature" produced in support of a review paper titled: "What Goes with the Flow: A Review of Linkages among Climate Change, Low-Flows, Water Quality, and Instream Flow Management Response across the United States". The dataset consists of six tabular sheets, each of them containing information critical to the review paper: a summary of search terms used...

Adaptive capacity of the Western ridged mussel (Gonidea angulata) in the western U.S. Adaptive capacity of the Western ridged mussel (Gonidea angulata) in the western U.S.

An assessment of the adaptive capacity of the Western ridged mussel (Gonidea angulata) that uses 37 factors, grouped by related characteristics: distribution, movement, evolutionary potential, ecological role, abiotic niche, life history, and demography. For each factor, species can be evaluated on a simple “low–moderate–high” scale, with criteria designed to accommodate either...
