Streamflow Statistics for Hydrologic Simulations for the Conterminous United States for Historical and Future Conditions Using the National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure (NHM) and the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), 1950 - 2100

The continental United States (CONUS) was modeled to produce simulations of historical and potential future streamflow using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) application of the USGS National Hydrologic Model infrastructure (NHM; Regan and others, 2018). This child page specifically contains a suite of 52 streamflow metrics. These metrics were computed using daily outputs of runoff from HRUs (PRMS variable hru_outflow) and streamflow from the model stream segments (PRMS variable seg_outflow) for all historical and future simulations (table1_GCMs_used.csv) with both static and dynamic land cover parameters. These streamflow statistics describe the duration, frequency, magnitude, rate of change, and timing of streamflow computed for historical and future simulation periods (streamflow_statistics_description_table.csv).

Russian River Integrated Hydrologic Model (RRIHM): Watershed Imperviousness

This data release is a raster dataset from of the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2011 Percent Developed Imperviousness (2011 Edition). The NLCD 2011 data was downloaded from the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium (MRLC) in 2014.Below is the abstract from the NLCD metadata:
The National Land Cover Database products are created through a cooperative project conducted by the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium.  The MRLC Consortium is a partnership of federal agencies (www.mrlc.gov), consisting of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture -Forest Service (USDA-FS), the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The success of NLCD over nearly two decades is credited to the continuing collaborative spirit of the agencies that make up the MRLC.  NLCD 2011 is the definitive Landsat-based, 30-meter resolution land cover database for the Nation.  The data in NLCD 2011 are completely integrated with NLCD 2001 (2011 Edition, amended 2014) and NLCD 2006 (2011 Edition, amended 2014).  
For NLCD 2011, there are 5 primary data products:  
1) NLCD 2011 Land Cover; 
2) NLCD 2006/2011 Land Cover Change Pixels labeled with the 2011 land cover class; 
3) NLCD 2011 Percent Developed Imperviousness; 
4) NLCD 2006/2011 Percent Developed Imperviousness Change Pixels; and 
5) NLCD 2011 Tree Canopy Cover provided by an MRLC partner - the USDA Forest Service Remote Sensing Applications Center.  
In addition, ancillary metadata includes the NLCD 2011 Path/Row Index shapefile showing the footprint of Landsat scenes and change analysis pairs used to derive 2006/2011 spectral change.  All Landsat scene acquisition dates are included in the shapefile's attribute table.  As part of the NLCD 2011 project, NLCD 2001 and 2006 land cover and impervious data products have been revised and reissued (2011 Edition, amended 2014) to provide full compatibility with the new NLCD 2011 products.  The 2014 amended version corrects for the over-elimination of small areas of the four developed classes.  
NLCD Tree Canopy Cover was created using MRLC mapping zones from NLCD 2001 (see Tree Canopy Cover metadata for additional detail).  All other NLCD 2011 products were created on a path/row basis and mosaicked to create a seamless national product.  Questions about the NLCD 2011 products can be directed to the NLCD 2011 land cover mapping team at the USGS/EROS, Sioux Falls, SD (605) 594-6151 or mrlc@usgs.gov.

Metabolomic analysis of pheasantshell mussel (Ortmanniana pectorosa; Order Unionida) from a mass mortality event in the Clinch River, Virginia and Tennessee, USA

This dataset uses the ITIS recommended Ortmanniana pectorosa, Conrad, 1834 in place of Actinonaias pectorosa, which was used in the Richard et al. 2020 manuscript. 
Biologists monitoring freshwater mussel (Order Unionida) populations rely on behavioral, often subjective, symptoms to identify “sick” or stressed animals, such as gaping valves and slow response to probing and lack clinical indicators to support a diagnosis. As part of a multi-year study to investigate causes of reoccurring mortality of pheasantshell (Ortmanniana pectorosa, Conrad 1834) in the Clinch River, Virginia and Tennessee, USA, we analyzed the hemolymph metabolome of a subset of mussels from the 2018 sampling period. Mussels at the mortality sites were diagnosed as affected (case) or unaffected (control) based on behavioral and physical signs. Hemolymph was collected in the field by nonlethal methods from the anterior adductor muscle for analysis. We used ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography, quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (UHPLC-QTOF-MS) to detect targeted and untargeted metabolites in hemolymph and compared metabolomic profiles by field diagnosis. 
This dataset contains information about the viral load measured previously by Richard et al. 2020. We also include the intensity of mass spectrum signals from metabololites found in the hemolymph of pheasantshell mussels (Ortmanniana pectorosa, Conrad, 1834). These values are unitless values as the intensity is measured as the area under the curve for each metabolite.

Climate Suitability Models

These data were compiled to assess potential changes in the climatic suitability for 66 species (dominant and associate plant species) within major plant communities in the southwestern United States. An objective of our study was that species within plant communities have unique climate suitability signatures and forecast changes in climatic suitability will not be uniform within the species respective communities or among species within the community. We developed these spatial models of climate suitability under a modern baseline (1960-90) and future climate scenario (2041-2060) using Maxent and WorldClim temperature and precipitation variables. Plant species were chosen that are characteristic species of plant communities in the southwest as mapped by GAP/LANDFIRE National Terrestrial Ecosystems v1 (USGS-Core Science Analytics, Synthesis, and Library – Gap Analysis Project, 2011). Monthly average minimum and maximum temperature and monthly total precipitation values were acquired from WorldClim v1.4 for current climate conditions and Community Climate System Model 4.0 (CCSM4, Gent et al. 2011) representative concentration pathway (rcp) models, 4.5 and 8.5, for the future climate scenario.

Mass mortality of collector urchins (Tripneustes gratilla) in Hawai`i

As grazers, sea urchins are keystone species in tropical marine ecosystems, and their loss can have important ecological ramifications.  Die-offs of urchins are frequently described but their causesare often unclear, in part because systematic examinations of animal tissues at gross and  microscopic level are not done.  In some areas, urchins are being employed to control invasive marine algae.  Here we describe the pathology of a mortality event in Tripneustes gratilla in Hawaii where urchins were being translocated to control invasive algae.  Although we did not determine the cause of the mortality event, our investigation suggests that animals died from inflammation of the test and epidermal ulceration followed by inability to maintain coelomic fluid pressure, colonization of coelomic fluid by opportunists (diatom, algae), and inappetence.  Parasites, bacteria, fungi, and viruses were not evident as a primary cause of death.  Pathology was suggestive of an environmental cause such as food limitation or toxin, possibilities that could be more aggressively pursued in future investigations.  These findings highlight the need for caution and additional tools to better assess health when translocating marine invertebrates to ensure maximal biosecurity.

Circuit-based potential fire connectivity and relative flow patterns in the Great Basin, United States, 270 meters

The rasters in this dataset represent modeled outputs of potential fire connectivity and relative flow patterns in the Great Basin. We define ‘fire connectivity’ as the landscape’s capacity to facilitate fire transmission from one point on the landscape to another. We applied an omnidirectional circuit theory algorithm (Omniscape) to model fire connectivity in the Great Basin of the western United States. We used predicted rates of fire spread to approximate conductance and calculated current densities to identify connections among areas with high spread rates. We calculated the cumulative current density as well as normalized cumulative current density, with the outputs included here as raster data.

Scavenging and frugivory data in the Greater Everglades, 2019

Mid-sized mammals (i.e., mesomammals) fulfill important ecological roles, serving as essential scavengers, predators, pollinators, and seed dispersers in the ecosystems they inhabit. Consequently, declines in mesomammal populations have the potential to disrupt ecological processes and degrade ecosystems. However, ecosystems characterized by high functional redundancy, where multiple species can fulfill similar ecological roles, may be less impacted by the loss of mesomammals and other vertebrates. The Greater Everglades Ecosystem in southern Florida is a historically biodiverse region that has recently been impacted by multiple anthropogenic threats, most notably the introduction of the Burmese python (Python bivittatus). Since pythons became established, mesomammal populations have become greatly reduced. To assess whether these declines in mesomammals have affected two critical ecosystem functions—scavenging and frugivory—we conducted experiments in areas where mesomammals were present and absent. 
After passive sampling had concluded at each site, we conducted scavenging and frugivory experiments to quantify how mesomammal presence affected frugivory and scavenging rates. To assess these processes, we monitored the persistence of carrion and fruit using motion triggered cameras. We reviewed photos to identify species and determine if they consumed carrion/fruit. To quantify scavenging rates, we secured carrion to a 40 x 40 cm board at each station and recorded detection time (the elapsed time between deployment and the first scavenger’s arrival) and consumption time (the elapsed time between deployment and the complete consumption of the carcass).

2021 USGS Phragmites australis Greenhouse Submergence Experiment Data conducted in Ann Arbor, MI

To determine the potential for controlling non-native Phragmites australis through use of a cut-to-drown management strategy we performed a controlled greenhouse mesocosm experiment in Ann Arbor, MI during summer 2021. Field collected Phragmites rhizomes from one site within Michigan were propagated, cuttings taken of individual stems and potted in nursery pots. Established plants were then subjected to a complete factorial combination of three submergence treatments (no submergence, partial submergence of aboveground tissues, and compete submergence of aboveground tissues) and 3 cutting treatments (no cutting, spring cutting of above ground tissues, and summer cutting of aboveground tissues). By performing weekly monitoring of plant growth, harvesting of a subset of plant tissues and overwintering of the remaining plants, we were able to examine difference in biomass production, non-structural carbohydrate content and future viability of Phragmites plants receiving different cut-to-drown treatments.
