Edited Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NVDI) map determined from Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) imagery, from “Remote Sensing of Bush Honeysuckle in the Middle Blue River Basin, Kansas City, Missouri, 2016-2017”

Amur honeysuckle bush (Lonicera maackii) and Morrow's honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii) are two of the most aggressively invasive species to become established throughout areas along the Blue River in metropolitan Kansas City, Missouri. These two large, spreading shrubs (locally referred to as bush honeysuckle in the Kansas City metropolitan area) colonize the understory, crowd out native plants, and may be allelopathic, producing a chemical that restricts growth of native species. Removal efforts have been underway for more than a decade by local conservation groups such as Bridging The Gap and Heartland Conservation Alliance, who are concerned with the loss of native species diversity associated with the spread of bush honeysuckle. Bush honeysuckle produces leaves early in the spring before almost all other vegetation and retains leaves late in the fall after almost all other species have lost their leaves. Appropriately timed imagery can be used during early spring and late fall to map the extent of bush honeysuckle. Using multispectral imagery collected in February 2016 and true color aerial imagery collected in March 2016, a coverage map of bush honeysuckle in the study area was made to investigate the extent of bush honeysuckle in a study area along the middle reach of the Blue River in the Kansas City metropolitan area in Jackson County, Missouri. The coverage map was further classified into unlikely, low-, and high-density bush honeysuckle density at a 30-foot cell size. The unlikely density class correctly predicted the absence and approximate density of bush honeysuckle for 86 percent of the field-verification points, the low-density class predicted the presence and approximate density with 73-percent confidence, and the high-density class was predicted with 67-percent confidence.

Archive of Digital Chirp Subbottom Profile Data Collected During USGS Cruises 13BIM02 and 13BIM07 Offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, 2013

On July 5–19 (13BIM02) and August 22–September 1 (13BIM07) of 2013, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted geophysical surveys to investigate the geologic controls on barrier island evolution and medium-term and interannual sediment transport along the oil spill mitigation sand berm constructed at the north end and offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, La. This investigation is part of a broader USGS study, which seeks to understand barrier island evolution better over medium time scales (months to years). This report serves as an archive of unprocessed, digital chirp subbottom data, trackline maps, navigation files, Geographic Information System (GIS) information, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata. Gained digital images of the seismic profiles are provided. The archived trace data are in standard Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) SEG Y revision 0 format (Barry and others, 1975) and may be downloaded and processed with commercial or public domain software such as Seismic Unix (SU). Examples of SU processing scripts and USGS software for viewing the SEG Y files (Zihlman, 1992) are provided.
These data are available for viewing using GeoMapApp (&lt;http://www.geomapapp.org/&gt;) and Virtual Ocean (&lt;http://www.virtualocean.org/&gt;) multi-platform open source software. In addition, the SEG Y files can also be downloaded from the USGS Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System (&lt;http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov&gt;).

Delineated Aquifer Boundaries of the Lake Tahoe Basin

These data present a ground-water inventory of existing geospatial data and other information 
needed to determine the extent and characteristics of the aquifers in the Tahoe Basin. 
Geospatial and other data include geologic maps and soil surveys of the entire basin 
and for specific watersheds within the basin at the best available scales; vegetation 
remote-sensing datasets; well information from various local, state, and federal agencies; 
geophysical surveys; and results of available ground-water studies. The compilation and 
development of a ground-water inventory geospatial database will assist the United States 
Forest Service in better assessing the present and future impacts on ground-water resources 
within the Lake Tahoe Basin.

Data release for the Land Change Causes for the United States Interior Highlands (2001 to 2006 and 2006 to 2011 time intervals)

These data were created to describe the causes of land cover change that occurred in the Interior Highland
region of the United States for the time intervals of 2001 to 2006 and 2006 to 2011.  This region, which
covers approximately 17.5 million hectares, includes portions of the U.S. states of Arkansas, Missouri,
Oklahoma, and Kansas.  Most of the area is covered by gently rolling hills of forests and pastureland.
Two raster maps were created at a 30-meter resolution showing the causes of land change using
automated and manual photo interpretation techniques.  There were 30 categories of land change
causes (i.e., forest harvest or surficial mining) discovered over the Interior Highlands.  These categories
can be used by researchers to summarize the historical patterns of land change for the region and to
understand the impacts that these land change causes may have on the areas’ ecology, hydrology,
wildlife, and climate.

SPARROW model datasets for total nitrogen and total phosphorus in North Carolina, including simulated stream loads

To better understand the influence of human activities and natural processes on surface-water quality, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed the SPARROW (SPAtially Referenced Regressions On Watershed attributes) (Schwarz and others, 2006; Alexander and others, 2008) model. The framework is used to relate water-quality monitoring data to sources and watershed characteristics that affect the fate and transport of constituents to receiving surface-water bodies. The core of the model consists of using a nonlinear-regression equation to describe the non-conservative transport of contaminants from point and nonpoint sources on land to rivers, lakes and estuaries through the stream and river network. In North Carolina, excessive sediment loadings have contributed to the degradation of surface-water quality, and point and nonpoint nutrient sources are recognized as major contributors of this degradation in rivers, lakes and estuaries. The SPARROW model was configured for North Carolina to predict total nitrogen and total phosphorus loads in streams and to evaluate the relative importance and contributions of nitrogen and phosphorus sources and other landscape characteristics. The model time period is 1999 to 2014, centered at 2012. This data release includes model input (data1_vTNTP.zip), model predictions (predict_TN.zip and predict_TP.zip) that represent simulated stream load, model catchment shapefile (model_catchments.zip), and a brief methodology (Methodology_TNTP.pdf). See the 'Methodology_TNTP.pdf' file for model documentation.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Antlers aquifer in southeastern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digitized polygons of constant
recharge values for the Antlers aquifer in southeastern
Oklahoma. The Early Cretaceous-age Antlers Sandstone is an
important source of water in an area that underlies about
4,400-square miles of all or part of Atoka, Bryan, Carter,
Choctaw, Johnston, Love, Marshall, McCurtain, and Pushmataha
Counties. The Antlers aquifer consists of sand, clay,
conglomerate, and limestone in the outcrop area. The upper part
of the Antlers aquifer consists of beds of sand, poorly cemented
sandstone, sandy shale, silt, and clay. The Antlers aquifer is
unconfined where it outcrops in about an 1,800-square-mile area.
The recharge polygons were developed from recharge rates used as
input into a ground-water flow model and from published digital
data sets of the surficial geology of the Antlers Sandstone
except in areas overlain by alluvial and terrace deposits near
streams. Some of the lines were interpolated where the Antlers
aquifer is overlain by alluvial and terrace deposits. The
interpolated lines are very similar to the aquifer boundaries
shown on maps published in a ground-water modeling report for
the Antlers aquifer. The constant recharge rates used as input
to the ground-water flow model were 0.32 inches per year for the
western portion of the aquifer and 0.96 inches per year for the
eastern portion of the aquifer.
Ground-water flow models are numerical representations that
simplify and aggregate natural systems. Models are not unique;
different combinations of aquifer characteristics may produce
similar results. Therefore, values of recharge used in the
model and presented in this data set are not precise, but are
within a reasonable range when compared to independently
collected data.

Input and predictions from a suspended-sediment SPARROW model CBSS_V2 in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. U.S. Geological Survey data release

These data represent both inputs for and estimates from a medium-resolution (1:100,000 scale) NHDPlus SPAtially Referenced Regression on Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model for the Chesapeake Bay watershed (CBSS_v2). The model spatially correlates long-term mean annual suspended-sediment flux in 113 non-tidal streams to likely upland and stream-corridor sources, landscape factors affecting upland sediment transport and delivery to stream corridors, and fluvial and reservoir retention representing the early 2000 time period. The item COMID is a common related field between the data file and the spatial component (catchments) in NHDPlus version 1.0.

Greater Everglades Burmese Python Stable Isotope Data, 2003-2012, and Standard Ellipse Area Literature Review, 2018

Burmese pythons are an invasive species in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem. Burmese pythons captured in the ecosystem are euthanized, and in an effort to learn about this invasive species, all euthanized pythons are necropsied, during which time samples are collected. We analyzed the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in muscle samples from 423 Burmese pythons euthanized and necropsied between 2003-05-01 and 2012-09-02, and after processing and QA/QC, we were left with isotope ratios for 412 samples, which we reported here. We used these data to estimate the size of the isotopic niche of the Burmese python, commonly measured using standard ellipse areas, or SEAs. 
To put these SEAs in context, we conducted a thorough literature review to find published sizes of other isotopic niches, beginning in 2017-01 and finalized on 2018-06-12. We reported the papers we found during this literature review here. We then reviewed each paper and recorded any SEAs presented in the paper or its supporting information, and we presented those results here.
