Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2018 Site 0570 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 398 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2018 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Four previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, and 2015/2016). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Spring 1961 water table of California's Central Valley (from Williamson and others, 1989)

This digital dataset defines the spring 1961 water-table altitude for the California's Central 
Valley.  It was used to initiate the water-level altitudes for the upper zones of the transient hydrologic model of 
the Central Valley flow system. The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer 
region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the USGS 
numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2009).  This simulation is referred to here as 
the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM) (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates 
groundwater and surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in the 
Central Valley on a monthly basis from 1961-2003.  The starting heads are based on the water-table and 
potentiometric surface developed by Williamson and others (1989). Maps of the spring 1961 water-table and 
hydraulic head in the lower pumped zone are shown in Figure 31 of Williamson and others (1989). The CVHM 
is the most recent regional-scale model of the Central Valley developed by the U.S. Geological Survey 
(USGS).The CVHM was developed as part of the USGS Groundwater Resources Program (Faunt, 2009.  See 
"Foreword", Chapter A, page iii, for details).

Cross-Section Geometry and Sediment-Size Distribution Data from Muddy Creek and North Fork Gunnison River below Paonia Reservoir, western Colorado, 2017

This data set contains cross-section geometry and sediment-size distribution data collected in the fall of 2017 from Muddy Creek and North Fork Gunnison River below Paonia Reservoir, western Colorado. Six cross-sections were surveyed using Real-Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (RTK-GNSS) methods to document channel geometry below the reservoir in 2015. Those same cross-sections were re-surveyed using the same methods in 2016 and 2017 to document any changes. One cross-section was surveyed on Muddy Creek below Paonia Reservoir, and five cross-sections were surveyed from North Fork Gunnison River below Paonia Reservoir. All six cross-sections are incorporated in this data release within one shapefile. Pebble counts were performed at each of the six cross-sections to document sediment-size distributions downstream from the reservoir. Four transects were located in the vicinity of each cross-section, where sediment size was measured and recorded. All of the sediment-size distribution data are presented in .CSV files, with one file for each cross-section location incorporating all of the data for each of the four transects at that location.

Invertebrate data (2012-2021) from the Colorado River in Grand Canyon and flow data (1921-2021) from the Lees Ferry gage (09380000) on the Colorado River near Page, AZ

These data were compiled for an outreach article published in the Boatman's Quarterly Review, which is a magazine published by Grand Canyon River Guides Association. The objectives of our study was to describe the outcomes of the 2018-2020 Bug Flows experiment to a general audience. These data represent 10 years (2012-2021) of invertebrate data and 100 years (1921-2021) of flow data. These data were collected from the Colorado River in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Grand Canyon National Park. These data were collected by recreational river runners through a community science effort where we provided river runners with light trapping equipment to sample emergent aquatic insects each night of their expeditions. Invertebrate counts represent total numbers of adult insects sampled by light traps, which can be divided by hours elapsed (sampling duration) to calculate a catch rate. Flow data were attained from the USGS gage 09380000 at Lees Ferry on the Colorado River. These data can be used to interpret changes in aquatic insect emergence rates over time and to look at changes in stage variation at Lees Ferry over time.

Wyoming South Converse Mule Deer Migration Routes

The South Converse mule deer herd primarily occupies habitats within the La Prele Creek drainage surrounding La Prele Reservoir in southern Wyoming. The herd’s range is south of Interstate 25, but South Converse mule deer must cross Wyoming Highway 91 during their seasonal migrations (fig. 29). Mule deer occupy an area of approximately 994 mi2 (2,574 km2), and elevations range from approximately 4,921 ft (1,500 m) to 8,858 ft (2,700 m). Within this area, most mule deer habitats consist of private rangelands, as well as some cultivated meadows and small tracts of public land. Several mule deer migrate to higher elevations in the Laramie Mountains where there are larger tracts of national forest. Cercocarpus montanus (true mountain-mahogany), antelope bitterbrush, mountain and Wyoming big sagebrush, and Rhus aromatica var. pilosissima (skunkbush sumac) dominate the foothills, whereas sagebrush and irrigated hayfields dominate the lowland areas. Mule deer typically winter on steep slopes dominated by true mountain-mahogany or within Populus deltoides ssp. monilifera (plains cottonwood) galleries along riparian areas.
From 2001 to 2009, WGFD recorded an average CWD prevalence of 31 percent from hunter-harvested mule deer in the South Converse herd (DeVivo and others, 2017). The WGFD estimated that the herd had declined by &gt;50 percent during this time, so in 2010, a GPS-collaring study was initiated to understand CWD epidemiology in the region (DeVivo and others, 2017). The 4-year study revealed that CWD was a significant contributor to the herd’s decline from approximately 6,100 mule deer in 2010, to 5,100 mule deer in 2014 (DeVivo and others, 2017). The herd grew modestly after this research concluded because of consecutive years of favorable environmental conditions that improved fawn recruitment and overall survival; however, numbers subsequently declined and have remained low (WGFD, 2021). CWD prevalence in harvested adult male mule deer stabilized since the study ended and remains a potentially significant factor affecting the herd’s performance. In addition to disease, periodic severe winters, drought, poor habitat conditions, predation, and an expanding elk herd remain concerns for the South Converse mule deer herd.
These mapping layers show the location of the migration routes for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the South Converse population in Wyoming. They were developed from 187 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 116 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 4−8 hours.

Bathymetric Map of the Bering/Chukchi Sea

Two bathymetric maps were developed by the U.S. Geological Survey, one for the Chukchi Sea and Arctic Ocean, and one for the Aleutian Trench and Bering Sea. The 2 maps overlap near the Bering Strait. Bathymetric contours were generated from several published sources. It is unclear whether new soundings were collected for these maps. The northern map extends from Wrangel Island, Russia to MacKenzie Bay, Canada, and north to 76 N latitude. The southern map extends from Shelikof Bay, Russia, to the western tip of the Alaska Peninsula, USA, and south to 48 N latitude. Bathymetric contours are at 400 meter intervals with 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, and 200 meter contours added. Contours above 50 meters are rare, and never along the Russian coast. Hard-copy maps were published by the USGS in 1976 and digitized by the Alaska Science Center in 1997. In digital format, the 2 maps have been connected where they overlap in the Bering Strait.

The Relative Impacts of Climate and Land-use Change on Conterminous United States Bird Species from 2001 to 2075

Species distribution models often use climate data to assess contemporary and/or future ranges for animal or plant species. Land use and land cover (LULC) data are important predictor variables for determining species range, yet are rarely used  when modeling future distributions. In this study, maximum entropy modeling was used to construct species distribution maps for 50 North American bird species to determine relative contributions of climate and LULC for contemporary (2001) and future (2075) time periods.  Results indicate species-specific response to climate and LULC variables; however, both climate and LULC variables clearly are important for modeling both contemporary and potential future species ranges. 
This data release provides summary data for each of the 50 species. Four types of files are included in a ZIP file distributed for each species, including 1) GeoTIFF files that represent species distributions for 2001 and 2075 (including model runs with and without climate or land use), 2) PDF files summarizing MaxENT model runs for 2001, demonstrating sensitivity of the models to climate and land use, 3) lambda values for each model run that contain variables used in that run and constants that can be used to compute values for the fitted model, and 4) a JPG file depicting a summary map of modeled species range in 2001, and panel maps depicting changes in species probability as land use and/or climate change by 2075. A summary Excel spreadsheet summarizes and compares results across the 50 species.

Cold-water coral metagenomes (Lophelia pertusa) from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean: raw data

In 2009, three unique colonies of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa were sampled in the western Atlantic Ocean to examine their microbial metagenomes. Nine additional samples were collected from three sites (Viosca Knoll 826, Viosca Knoll 906, and West Florida Slope) around the Gulf of Mexico in 2009 and 2010. Previous studies have examined the bacterial associates of this coral, but to date, no cold-water coral metagenomes have been published. This analysis characterized and identified microbial associates (bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes, viruses) associated with Lophelia, and also provided a first look at the functional and metabolic capabilities of the Lophelia microbial metagenome. Replicate sampling allowed for supplemental analysis of the variation in metagenomes between individual coral samples and among the four collection sites.
