Exotic Species Treatment Database

The GRSM exotic plants database is a multi-faceted, SQL-based database containing location and treatment information for the exotic invasive plant control program. The exotic plant site location information includes plant species treated, geospatial information (point and polygon), site directions, and site notes. The exotic plant treatment information includes treatment method, herbicide and adjuvant brands and amounts used, area treated, field notes, and employees present. The purpose of this database is to allow easy site re-location for multi-year treatments, easy treatment data sums and sorting for end of season and project-based reporting, tracking of long-term trends in exotic invasive species management, and to make exotic plant work scheduling more efficient. GRSM manages over 50 invasive exotic plant species in over 900 locations parkwide with treatments records in this database starting in 1994.



The National Park Service has published these data as a stand-alone export from an enterprise database. While the nature of table relationships and primary/foreign keys is detailed in this document, the National Park Service cannot provide assitance or instruction in the use of propietary software in analyzing and manipulating these data.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park Stehn Plots: Overstory, Shrubs, Seedlings, Herbaceous plants, Bryophytes, Soil

This dataset results from systematic sampling on 60 randomly selected plots within the spruce-fir zone of GRSM. Researchers recorded the frequency and cover of 97 bryophyte species occurring on ground-layer substrates in spruce-fir forests, as well as tree density in mulitple strata, herbaceous layer composition and cover, and soil chemical properties.  This database contains all raw data entered from paper datasheets, data acquired from GIS data layers, and data produced from post-field labwork such as tree core ring counts and soil chemical anaylses.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park Threatened and Endangered Fishes

These data represent visual surveys of Federally Threatened and Endangered fish species in Abrams Creek, TN, Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM). These surveys are performed by employees (both seasonal and permanent), interns, and a cooperating partner, Conservation Fisheries Inc., which is based in Knoxville, TN. These data are numerical counts made visually by observers while performing snorkeling surveys within three-zones of Abrams Creek where the Smoky Madtom, Yellowfin Madtom, and Citico Darter are found. For surveying T&E fish, visual counts via snorkeling surveys are more effective than backpack electrofishing. Annual survey data are recorded in the GRSM Threatened and Endangered Fish Survey database. NOTE: Some of the ‘comments’ section in the 2019 field data sheets from these efforts list the observation of Greenside Darter and Banded Sculpin. While these native, non-game, fish aren’t considered T&E, they were extirpated from Abrams Creek at the same time as the madtoms and Citico Darter. Their reintroductions began in 2017 and appear to have been successful.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park Noland Divide Water Quality

Based on studies in the 1980s linking stream water quality (acidification) and atmospheric acid deposition, the GRSM initiated a long-term continuous water quality monitoring program in the early 1990s. The current sampling design consists of two parts: 1) detailed long-term hydrologic and water quality monitoring; and 2) a Park-widestream survey designed to characterize water quality under base-flow conditions throughout the GRSM.&nbsp. Park-wide stream survey (also called Long-term Synoptic Stream Water Quality Monitoring) began in October 1993 to monitor water quality in GRSM streams, and simultaneously assess possible correlations between GRSM water chemistry and atmospheric sources of acid-generating pollutants. Five NDW hydrological stations were installed to monitor the potential effects of long-term acid deposition. These stations include: wet precipitation (open site, OS), throughfall (TF), soil water from lysimeters, and two streamlets (southeast, SE; and northeast, NE sites). This monitoring design provides a means to assess impacts from acidic deposition, both wet and dry deposition (OS, TF sites), effects of soil biogeochemical processes on pollutant fate and transport, and stream acidification response based on levels of atmospheric acid inputs to the watershed.

Fire Island National Seashore Sediment Profile Images (SPI)

Sediment Profile Images (SPI) used to construct benthic habitat maps for FIIS.  Sediment profile imagery (SPI) provides an in-situ perspective of the seafloor and associated characteristics. Specifically, the camera takes a profile photograph of the sediment-water interface, which offers information about the biological and environmental attributes of the surface of the seafloor, the substrate just below the seafloor, and the overlying water column. SPI imagery has been used as the basis for or to complement ecological studies for several decades (for further reading, refer to Germano et al., 2011; Solan et al., 2003; Germano et al., 1989). For this study, SPI images were collected to corroborate and complement the acoustic and grab sample data. Images were taken at each grab sample site and also along a series of planned transects designed to cross boundaries identified in the sidescan mosaics. All deployments of the camera were done in triplicate, resulting in six images per site (one deployment of the camera captures two images ten seconds apart). The images were processed and analyzed in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Color and contrast adjustments were applied to enhance the images for detection of features. Geological and biological features were identified and described through expert interpretation of the images, including relative grain size, bedforms, biogenic features, and presence of seagrass and organisms (identified to lowest taxonomic level). Furthermore, consistent settings were applied when taking penetration and apparent redox potential discontinuity (aRPD) measurements. The aRPD value indicates the depth at which the sediment transitions from being oxidized to reduced (Gerwing et al., 2017).
