Laminated soil carbonate rinds are a Quaternary paleoclimate archive whose isotope composition is linked to soil formation conditions. At Rio Mesa, Utah (USA), we investigated the fidelity of rind records in a river terrace setting by determining the seasonal timing of rind formation and testing for inter-record replication. We infer soil carbonate formed in the spring season...

Oaks were mapped in a portion of Yolo County, California, USA. For 26 focal trees, acorn counts were conducted from 2013-2023. Trees were located in rural and urban areas. Rural trees were located visually and location was recorded. Urban tree locations were drawn from randomly distributed point locations at 1.2 valley oaks per hectare. The data also include distance between oak trees to...

Seeds extracted from the gastrointestinal contents of Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) and Black and White Tegu (Salvator merianae) lizards in South Florida were sorted and identified to genus or species. Seeds were then categorized as invasive (category I: history of negative impacts or category II: potential for negative impacts), native, non-native, threatened, endangered, and...

This data release includes citation details, abstracts, and results of a semi-automated content analysis for 171 publications we identified on the topic of the potential effects of vegetation and soils surface disturbance and reclamation associated with oil and gas development on invasive annual grass establishment and spread. Our goal was to develop a structured literature search and...

This dataset includes GPS locations of free-roaming donkeys (Equus asinus; also called burros) in southern California, USA, within Fort Irwin National Training Center and Death Valley National Park between 2020 and 2022, as well as data on the disease status of donkeys in these same areas. Data were collected by placing GPS collars on donkeys and tracking their movements. Collars...

This dataset includes population sizes of free-roaming horses (Equus caballus) in Nevada, USA, within specific Herd Areas (HAs), which are Bureau of Land Management (BLM) management units. The management units in this dataset include the following HAs: Applewhite, Delamar Mountains, Meadow Valley Mountains, Clover Mountains and Clover Creek. Data were collected via aerial helicopter...

This dataset contains the potential distribution of 344 invasive plant species across terrestrial and aquatic habitats summarized by management areas of interest. Habitat suitability models were developed for invasive plants species, selected by the Department of Interior, the USDA Forest Service land management agencies and other managers. Models were developed based on the modeling...

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...

Examining urban thermal environments has become a critical area of research spanning epidemiology, urban planning, and ecology. While traditional metrics like air temperature (Tair) and satellite-derived surface temperature (SD-LST) dominate urban heat studies, these measures often fail to reflect how people actually experience thermal exposure intensity. More human-oriented metrics...

This report and accompanying maps and database address the geologic and geophysical character of a block of ten 7.5’ quadrangles that span the San Gorgonio Pass region. The study culminates more than four decades of intermittent geologic and geophysical mapping investigations by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Published results from these investigations fall into two categories: (1)...
