Plant Inventory at Bryce Canyon National Park in 1981 - Data Package

In 1981, a plant study was conducted at Bryce Canyon National Park (BRCA) in an effort to try to find the different vegetative type and endemic plants of the BRCA breaks. The vegetation of the study area was surveyed by means of 100 X 100 m2 plots. Plots were subjectively placed in areas of homogeneous vegetation among the clifflike formations. Within each plot, density and basal area of all mature trees, density only of juvenile trees and understory species present were recorded. In an effort to comply with Executive Order 13642, Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default for Government Information (GPO 2013), almost 40 years after this study ended, the data recorded as a result of the study was digitized, cleaned, and processed in order to become machine readable and accessible to the public.

Coastal Circulation and Sediment Dynamics in War-in-the-Pacific National Historical Park, Guam: Measurements of Waves, Currents, Temperature, Salinity, and Turbidity: June 2007–January

This data package was created 2025-12-03 09:27:31 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data.  Data are from Storlazzi, C.D., Presto, M.K., and Logan, J.B., 2009. "Coastal Circulation and Sediment Dynamics in War-in-the-Pacific National Historical Park, Guam. Measurements of Waves, Currents, Temperature, Salinity, and Turbidity: June 2007–January 2008." USGS Open-File Report 2009-1195, 79 p.  In 2007 the U.S. Geological Survey Western Coastal and Marine Geology Team initiated an investigation of coastal circulation, sediment flux, and sediment residence time along west-central Guam, primarily focusing on WAPA's Asan Unit.  Terrestrial sediment discharge to the coastal waters has resulted in sedimentation, eutrophication, and pollution impacting WAPA's coral reef ecosystem.  Therefore, the Asan watershed is an area of concern to the NPS and was designated as one of the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force Guam Local Action Strategy priority watersheds.

Refuge ANILCA Purposes Data

A collection of CSV files that list species that are mentioned in ANILCA purposes for the given refuge. Species lists from FWSpecies for refuges in Alaska were cross-walked against Table 5 in Woodward and Beever (2010) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service trust resource documentation on migratory bird species (2013). The resulting datasets follow the naming convention [refuge_code]_ANILCA_[yyyymmdd].csv, where [refuge_code] is the 3-letter LIT code for a refuge in the US Fish and Wildlife Service Corporate Master Table, and yyyymmdd is the date that the dataset was created.

Anchorage, Alaska municipality Elodea Points Surveyed

This tabular dataset contains information pertaining to the presence or absence of Elodea at randomly selected sites within the littoral zone of prioritized lakes within the Anchorage, Alaska municipality area. Data were acquired through the use of ESRI's FieldMaps application. Visual observations and rake throws within a 10 meter by 10 meter area were used to evaluate the presence of Elodea following the sampling protocol outlined in "Fulkerson, J. (2023). Standard Operating Procedure for Elodea Detection in Alaska Lakes. Alaska Center for Conservation Science".

Anchorage, Alaska elodea survey proposed sampling locations

Collection of tabular data sets (.csv) containing year-specific proposed sampling points within inland waterbodies of the Anchorage, Alaska municipality. In 2023 and 2024, proposed sample sites were created using ArcGIS tool developed by and detailed in the Fulkerson 2023 SOP 1 using waterbody boundaries defined by NHD Plus data. In future years, sample points are selected using NHD Plus waterbody boundaries, dropping grids over the waterbody (50 meter cell sizes for lake boundaies less than 3 kilometers; otherwise 100 meters), and selecting random sites within the littoral zone. Litorral zones are defined by creating a 150 meter buffer from the lake boundary and any depths less than 30 feet as designated by lake bathymetry layers.

Glacier Bay Cumulative Oceanographic Monitoring Database (OC_D)

The NPS Southeast Alaska Inventory and Monitoring  Network's oceanography vital sign is conducted in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. Vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, salinity, sigma-t, density, dissolved oxygen, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), chlorophyll-a fluorescence, and optical backscatter (turbidity) are currently collected using a Seabird Inc. 19Plus V2 CTD and associated sensors at 22 stations.

The U.S. Geological Survey began oceanographic data collection in Glacier Bay in 1993. Once identified as a NPS Inventory and Monitoring vital sign in 2008, the program was transferred to the Southeast Alaska Network (SEAN). Eight core stations are sampled monthly from March to October and 22 stations are sampled semiannually in midwinter and midsummer. Spatial coverage includes the waters of Glacier Bay proper as well as Icy Strait near the mouth of the bay. The SEAN oceanographic monitoring program seeks to better understand 1) the seasonal, inter-annual, and long-term trends in local and regional marine dynamics and 2) spatiotemporal variation in the abundance patterns of marine organisms from primary producers to apex predators.

This dataset (deliverable OC_D) contains data from oceanographic CTDs and a suite of attached sensors. Raw readings are processed using calibration factors for each sensor, then binned into 1 meter segments and expressed in standard scientific units. Individual profiles in CNV format (deliverable OC_C) are reviewed against established data quality standards and quality assessment grades (deliverable OC_M) applied. Readings are also standardized among multiple CTDs with different sensitivities. Each record lists the protocol package that defines its content; the protocol has been updated several times over the program's history. The OC_D file is the cumulative database of all certified oceanographic data since 1993. A revised file containing the most recent observations is published annually.

Eunotia Ehrenberg (Bacillariophyta - diatoms) of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Eunotia is an acid-tolerant genus of diatoms with >230 species world wide, >16% of which are found in the park.  The high elevation springs and streams in the park were dominated by diatoms of the genus Eunotia.  The presence of valve malformations in four of the high elevation springs and two streams suggest that acid precipitation in the park may be interacting with local bedrock geology to release metals toxic to algal communities, especially under the low pH conditions of these high elevation areas. Sites with the greatest number of deformities showed higher levels of Al, Ba, and Mn relative to other sites. However, more data are necessary before any clear linkages between diatom deformities, metals, geology, and acid precipitation call be unequivocally established.
