Data for modeling tegu lizard distributions in the Americas

This data bundle contains some of the inputs, all of the processing instructions and all outputs from a single VisTrails/SAHM workflow.  This model specifically includes field data of thinned occurrence locations and random background locations and un-thinned occurrence locations and targeted background locations for three species of tegu lizards in South America.  Predictors included bioclimatic, tree cover, season length, potential evapotranspiration and solar radiation index rasters. Details about both inputs are included in the associated manuscript. The three bundle documentation files are:
1) '_archive_bundle_metadata.xml' (this file) which contains FGDC metadata describing the archive bundle.
2) 'PredictorList.csv' and PredictorList_North America.csv' contain a list of the raster inputs that were used to generate these model results. The first list points to these rasters for South America, the second for North America. These are not included in the archive bundle due to size constraints but are identified in this file as well as the metadata document.
3) '_archive_workflow_&lt;&lt;species code&gt;&gt;'  where &lt;&lt;species code&gt;&gt; is the name of the species being modeled (tume = Salvator merianae (Argentine black and white tegu), tute = Tupinambis teguixin sensu lato (gold tegu),  saru = S. rufescens (red tegu) and combined = all three species together). Contains two VisTrails/SAHM workflow documents (.vt files) which contains the workflow that was used to create these outputs. The two files represent models created with targeted background method and random background method as described in the associated manuscript. The folder also includes the final ensemble raster outputs from the models and the input location data for the random background models.
4) 'template_cj' is the raster layer input to the TemplateRaster module in SAHM to create the South America models.
The remaining data files are the intermediate workflow products as well as the complete spatial and diagnostic model outputs.
5) 'masterLocationDataFiles.csv' contains the location data used to develop the targeted background models.

Data used to characterize the historical distribution of wildfire severity in the western United States in support of pre-fire assessment of debris-flow hazards

Following wildfire, mountainous areas of the western United States are susceptible to enhanced runoff and erosion and an increased vulnerability to debris flow during intense rainfall. Convective storms that can generate debris flows in recently burned areas may occur during or immediately after the wildfire, leaving insufficient time for development and implementation of risk mitigation strategies. We present a method for estimating post-fire debris-flow hazards prior to wildfire using historical data to define the range of potential fire severity for a given location based on the statistical distribution of severity metrics obtained from remote sensing. Estimates of debris-flow likelihood, magnitude and triggering rainfall threshold based upon the statistically simulated fire severity data provide hazard predictions consistent with those calculated from fire severity data collected after wildfire. Simulated fire severity data also produce hazard estimates that replicate observed debris-flow occurrence, rainfall conditions, and magnitude at a monitored site in the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California. Future applications of this method should rely upon a range of potential fire severity scenarios for improved pre-fire estimates of debris-flow hazard. The method presented here is also applicable to modeling other post-fire hazards, such as flooding and erosion risk, and for quantifying historic trends in fire severity in a changing climate. This release contains the data used to derive the historical distributions of fire severity, including a) the data used to derive a Weibull cumulative distribution function to historical measures of the differenced normalized burn ratio for fires &gt;= 4 square kilometers (1000 acres) that burned between 2001 and 2014 in the western United States, b) the shape and scale parameters for the Weibull cumulative distribution function for every class of existing vegetation type, and the statistics describing goodness-of-fit of the Weibull distribution to these data, and c) the data used to determine the BARC4 threshold defining the break between pixels burned at low and moderate or high severity.

Attributes for NHDPlus Version 2.1 Reach Catchments and Modified Routed Upstream Watersheds for the Conterminous United States: Watershed Potential to Contribute Phosphorus from Geologic Materials to Receiving Streams

This tabular data set represents the contribution of phosphorus (P) to streams from weathering and erosion of surficial geologic materials compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2.1 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID.  The source data is from the publication, Watershed Potential to Contribute Phosphorus from Geologic Materials to Receiving Streams, Conterminous United States,  (Nardi, 2014). Units are Mean bed sediment phosphorus value in parts per million (ppm). Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network characterizes cumulative upstream conditions.  Network-accumulated values are computed using two methods, 1) divergence-routed and 2) total cumulative drainage area. Both approaches use a modified routing database to navigate the NHDPlus reach network to aggregate (accumulate) the metrics derived from the reach catchment scale. (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2016).

Bioeconomic model population data, Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA

These data were estimated for use in the bioecomomic model simulation of the rainbow trout population in the Colorado River in Marble Canyon. The initial rainbow trout abundance is a vector (RBT_intN) representing the population of rainbow trout within each river segment (151 mile long sergments) along the mainstem of the Colorado River from Lees Ferry to 151 river miles downstream. The movement matrix (MMat) is a distribution that estimates the probability that a rainbow trout wil move to any one of the 151 river segments downstream of Lees Ferry.

Discharge Measurements in Bayou Heron and Bayou Middle, Grand Bay, Mississippi, January 2017

Grand Bay, a 30-square-kilometer embayment of the Gulf of Mexico bordered by 20 square kilometers of salt marsh, is experiencing rapid lateral shoreline erosion at up to 5 meters per year. Determining whether the eroded sediment is exported to the deep ocean or imported via tidal channels and deposited on the marsh platform is critical to understanding the long-term response of the marsh to wave attack and sea-level rise. Quantifying water-column sediment flux helps to characterize the role of tidal channels in this process, and water discharge is a key component of sediment flux. To that end, discharge was measured repeatedly over consecutive diurnal tidal cycles in the tidal channels of Bayou Heron and Bayou Middle, within Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Mississippi on January 24–28, 2017. These data were collected by using a Teledyne RDI Rio Grande 1200-kilohertz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). Downward-looking ADCP transect data were collected from a moving boat and initially reviewed by using WinRiver II, and reprocessing and final review was completed by using QRev.
