AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
‘Viva’ native plant material data in support of restoration and conservation

These data were compiled to investigate the evolutionary history of Hilaria jamesii, Hilaria mutica, and Hilaria rigida. The data release consists of two tab delimited text files that may be used to infer population structure (viva_structure.stru) or relationships among sampling localities (viva.phylip). Files record genetic variation on an individual (.stru) or sampling locality (.phylip) level. These files may be opened and edited in a text editor program, such as Notepad ++ (PC) or BBEdit (Mac). The .phylip file can be uploaded to phyML or SVDQuartets to generate a tree-based visualization of relationships ( http://www.atgc-montpellier.fr/phyml/ or https://paup.phylosolutions.com, repectively). The .stru file can be used in the STRUCTURE program (Falush et al. 2003) to estimate population structure.

Dataset for an ecological risk assessment of Fipronil compounds in U.S. streams

The phenylpyrazole insecticide fipronil and its degradates are a potential surface-water contaminant and toxicant to nontarget species such as aquatic macroinvertebrates. To better understand how fipronil, fipronil sulfide, fipronil sulfone, desulfinyl fipronil, and fipronil amide affect aquatic communities, a 30-day mesocosm experiment was run. Rock trays were colonized with natural benthic communities in the Cache La Poudre River in the mountains of northern Colorado and transplanted into a laboratory experimental stream setting. In total, there were 36 experimental streams: 3 controls, 3 solvent controls, and 30 treatments. Water quality metrics and samples for pesticide analysis were collected throughout the experiment. At the end of the experiment, larval invertebrates remaining in each experimental stream were collected, enumerated, and identified. Emergent insects were collected each day of the experiment and identified to lowest taxonomic unit. These data were used to derive species-specific effect concentrations and, along with published data, derive species sensitivity distributions for fipronil(s) and hazard concentrations for the 5th percentile of affected species (HC5). The resulting HC5 values were used to convert fipronil compound concentrations in field samples to the sum of toxic units (∑TUFipronils), and the field invertebrate data were converted into a Species at Risk (SPEAR) pesticides metric (SPEAR_pesticide) and used to explore the relationship between the invertebrate community and ∑TUFipronils.

Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, southeastern Illinois, western Kentucky, and southern Indiana, 2019; Magnetic Data

This publication provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution magnetic and radiometric survey over an area of southeast Illinois, western Kentucky, and southern Indiana. The survey includes airborne geophysical data collected as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (Earth MRI) effort (Day, 2019). Earth MRI is a cooperative effort between the USGS, the Association of American State Geologists, and other Federal, State, and private sector organizations to improve our knowledge of the geologic framework of the United States. Data for this survey were collected by EON Geosciences under contract with the USGS using a fixed wing aircraft with a magnetometer mounted in the tail stinger and a fully calibrated gamma ray spectrometer. The survey operated out of the Paducah, Kentucky airport from October of 2019 to December of 2019. The survey covers a 91-kilometer x 128-kilometer area centered on the igneous complex around Hicks Dome in Hardin County, Illinois. Data were collected along east-west flight lines spaced 200 meters apart with north-south tie lines flown every 3,000 meters. A mean terrain clearance of 116 meters was maintained except where safety dictated a higher elevation. A total of 61,974-line kilometers of data were collected. Files that are available in this publication include flight line data for the magnetic survey, flight line data for the radiometric survey and a report describing the survey parameters, field operations, quality control and data reduction procedures. A zip file is provided that contains the contractor's deliverable products that includes Geosoft databases and grids for the magnetic and radiometric survey and the report describing the survey and data reduction.

Current-use pesticides in tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) prey

Analysis of biological tissues or direct sources of food may better characterize exposure of non-target organisms to current-use pesticides. Food boluses were collected from tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) nestlings using a non-lethal, ligature method and were composited based on nest. The ligatures, which prevented the bolus from being swallowed, were placed on nestlings for 1 h until samples were collected. Samples in 2016 were collected from nestlings at 6 days and 12 days post-hatch whereas 2018 samples were collected from nestlings at 12 days post-hatch. Furthermore, in 2016 and 2018, insects commonly consumed by tree swallows were collected via sweep net and composited based on suborder (Brachycera, Nematocera, Zygoptera, or other) following identification via dichotomous keys. All samples were collected from an agricultural region of central Saskatchewan, Canada. Samples were freeze-dried and homogenized prior to extraction. A subsample  was removed for analysis (the whole sample was used for those with a total mass less than 0.1 g). Following pressurized liquid extraction with 50/50 (v/v) acetone/dichloromethane, samples were cleaned-up via pass-through solid phase extraction using Oasis PRiME HLB cartridges (3 cc, 150 mg). All samples were analyzed for 170 current-use pesticides using gas chromatography and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS and LC/MS/MS). A total of 24 current-use pesticides and metabolites were detected in bolus samples (0.3-784.3 ng/g) and 19 current-use pesticides were detected in insects (0.2-1169.6 ng/g).

Orthomosaic imagery for Whiskeytown Lake and surrounding area, expanded AOI, 2019-06-03

This portion of the data release presents an RGB orthomosaic image of an expanded area surrounding Whiskeytown Lake derived from Structure from Motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery acquired on 2019-06-03. The orthomosaic is available in a high-resolution 14-centimeter (cm) version, as well as a medium-resolution 25 cm version. The high-resolution version is divided into two tiles (east and west) to reduce file download sizes. All imagery is provided in a three-band cloud-optimized GeoTIFF format, with 8-bit unsigned integer values compressed using high-quality JPEG compression. The raw imagery used to create the orthomosaic image was acquired from a manned aircraft on 2019-06-03. The acquisition flight was conducted by The 111th Group Aerial Photography, using a Nikon D850 camera. The acquisition covered two areas-of-interest (AOI) at different scales. The expanded AOI for this dataset (referred to as AOI-B) covered an area around Whiskeytown Lake up to the adjacent ridgelines. The goal for expanding the AOI for this acquisition was to create an orthomosaic image to qualitatively assess the post-fire erosion patterns in upslope areas of the drainages. The imagery for this AOI was acquired from an approximate altitude of 1,160 meters (3,800 feet) above ground level, to produce a nominal ground sample distance (pixel size) of 10 centimeters (4 inches). An onboard dual-frequency GPS receiver was used to record the precise time and position of each image. Coordinates for ground control points consisting of photo-identifiable objects were measured independently using survey-grade post-processed kinematic (PPK) GPS.

Soil Frost at Sleepers River Research Watershed, Danville, Vermont

Soil frost measurements have been made at Sleepers River Research Watershed starting in 1983. Measurements were made by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory from 1983 to 1993, followed by the U.S. Geological Survey from 1993 to the present. Measurements started at 5 sites and has increased to 10 sites. Sites range in elevation from 225 to 670 meters and are in a mix of field and forest types. Soil frost measurements are made with tubes filled with methylene blue solution; on freezing, the methylene blue remains in the liquid phase, yielding clear ice that marks the depth of soil frost (Ricard and others, 1976). Soil frost measurements typically are made 2 to 4 times a month between November and May. This data release includes two tables. “Frost site description” lists elevation, latitude, longitude, tube IDs, number of tubes, vegetation type, years of record, and periods of data collection for each site. “Sleepers frost 1983-2020” includes measurements of the depth of the thawed layer above frozen ground (starting in 1993), the total depth of frozen ground, and the snow depth at frost tubes.

Minimum snow and ice coverage for GNP, 2003-2015

To determine minimum coverage of perennial snow and ice cover for Glacier National Park, the minimum extent of glaciers and multi-year snow features were digitized from satellite imagery (10-meter NAPP 2003, NAIP 2005, and NAIP 2013, and 30-cm resolution, multispectral, pansharpened Digital Globe WorldView satellite imagery collected in late summer and fall 2015). Features were digitized in ArcGIS version 10.2 using a Wacom Intuos 4 digitizing tablet. Snow and ice features were classified as glacier, large ice mass, or perennial snow/ice. Glaciers were based on current, named glaciers. Remnant ice features not large enough to be classified as glaciers, but showing evidence of crevasses, were classified as large ice masses. Any other snow features present during driest years (mostly 2003), were classified as permanent snow.  Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
