LANDFIRE 2022 Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) AK

LANDFIRE's (LF) 2022 update (LF 2022) Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) represents the vertically projected percent cover of the live canopy for a 30-m cell. EVC is produced separately for tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms. Training data depicting percentages of canopy cover are obtained from plot-level ground-based visual assessments and lidar observations. These are combined with Landsat imagery (from multiple seasons), to inform models built independently for each lifeform. Tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms each have a potential range from 10% to 100% (cover values less than 10% are binned into the 10% value). The three independent lifeform datasets are merged into a single product based on the dominant lifeform of each pixel. The EVC product is then reconciled through QA/QC measures to ensure lifeform is synchronized with Existing Vegetation Height (EVH). Urban and developed areas are derived from the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), and the latest available Microsoft Building Footprint dataset. Agricultural lands originate from the 2022 Cropland Data Layer (CDL) and the 2019 California Statewide Crop Mapping layer. Disturbance events after 2016 are accounted for by incorporating transition rulesets using LF 2022 Fuel Disturbance (FDist). LF uses EVC as an input for LF 2022 Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC).

Hawaii Island, Hawaiian hoary bat acoustic data pre- and post- koa moth outbreak, 2007-2013

We examined Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus semotus) presence and foraging activity at Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge and Lāupahoehoe Forest Reserve on Hawai‘i Island during the 2013 koa moth (Geometridea: Scotorythra paludicola) outbreak. Hawaiian hoary bat echolocation vocalizations were recorded at seven acoustic stations between 1069 and 1200 m above sea level that operated nightly from May 2013 through September 2013. We compared these data to data collected at similar locations during 2007-2011 to determine the response of bats to increased moth abundance during 2013. 
In this abstract we refer to the Hawaiian hoary bat as a full species, Lasiurus semotus, following updated taxonomy for Hawaiian hoary bats (Pinzari et al. 2020; see full citation below in the cross-references section).  
This data release consists of three tabular datasets including bat acoustic activity, mean monthly acoustic detectability, and acoustic detector locations.

Effect of SDS and Proteinase K on whole blood preserved in lysis buffer for Hawaiian Island avian malaria detection, 2005-2006

It is unclear whether DNA lysis buffers used for preservation of whole blood samples from Hawaiian forest birds cause denaturation and loss of antigen binding capability of antibody molecules. If their antigen binding capability is not affected, then the samples can be used in serological assays to provide an independent assessment of the accuracy of PCR (polymerase chain reaction) diagnostic tests for avian malaria.
This data set reports raw absorbance measurements that were collected with a BioRad Model 3550 ELISA plate reader at a wavelength setting of 405 nm for different dilutions of blood from an infected Hawaii Amakihi that were preserved in PBS (phosphate buffered saline), TEN (Tris-Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) Buffer, or TEN buffer that was subsequently treated with SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate - ethylenediaminetetracetic acid) and Proteinase K.

Data supporting phosphorus load-reduction estimates from leaf-litter removal in central and northwestern Vermont

Removal of leaf-litter may help municipalities reduce phosphorus loads. Catch-basin cleaning and street cleaning are two commonly used Best Management Practices that could be modified to remove leaves and qualify for additional load-reduction credits. This Data Release contains four tab-delimited .txt files containing additional information about the study area, characteristics of municipal street solids, and load-reduction estimates from increased catch basin and street cleaning practices that are not available in the associated report. This Data Release also contains a compressed file, "EngBrk_ModelArchive.7z", which archives the model developed and used for the project. The four .txt table files are: (1) "VT_LU_data.txt", which includes the area, in acres and percent, for each land-use type within the nine participating municipalities and within the Englesby Brook basin (based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) 2006 C-CAP Regional Land Cover); (2) "CB_sample_characteristics.txt", which describes the physical characteristics of samples collected from piles of catch-basin solids for nine municipalities in this study (September to November 2017 and April to November 2018); (3) "SC_sample_characteristics.txt", which describes the physical characteristics of samples collected from piles of street-cleaning solids for nine municipalities in this study (September to November 2017 and April to November 2018); and (4) "Estimated P-load reductions.txt", which contains estimated phosphorus load-reduction credits by using individual Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) drainage areas for street cleaning and street cleaning with leaf management practices for the seven participating Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) municipalities in northwestern Vermont. The cities of Barre and Montpelier currently do not have to meet MS4 permit requirements. Information from the NOAA's 2006 C-CAP Regional Land Cover (https://data.noaa.gov/dataset/dataset/noaas-coastal-change-analysis-program-c-cap-2006-regional-land-cover-data-coastal-united-state1) and the Vermont Center for Geographic Information (https://vcgi.vermont.gov/) were used to characterize land use within each of the nine municipalities in the central and northwestern Vermont, study area, and the partially urbanized Englesby Brook basin located in Burlington and South Burlington, Vermont, that drains into Lake Champlain. The compressed file "EngBrk_ModelArchive.7z" represents the model archive that contains 31 files associated with the Englesby Brook model using the Source Loading and Management Model for Windows (WinSLAMM) version 10.4.0.

Attributes for MRB_E2RF1 Catchments by Major River Basins in the Conterminous United States: Normalized Atmospheric Deposition for 2002, Total Inorganic Nitrogen

This tabular data set represents the average normalized atmospheric (wet) deposition, 
in kilograms per square kilometer multiplied by 100, of Total Inorganic Nitrogen for the 
year 2002 compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment of selected Major River Basins 
(MRBs, Crawford and others, 2006). Estimates of Total Inorganic Nitrogen deposition 
are based on National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) measurements 
(B. Larsen, U.S. Geological Survey, written. commun., 2007). De-trending methods 
applied to the year 2002 are described in Alexander and others, 2001. NADP site 
selection met the following criteria: stations must have records from 1995 to 2002 
and have a minimum of 30 observations.
		
The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency's (USEPA) ERF1_2 and include enhancements to support national 
and regional-scale surface-water quality modeling (Nolan and others, 2002; Brakebill and 
others, 2011).
		
Data were compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment for the conterminous United States 
covering New England and Mid-Atlantic (MRB1), South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee (MRB2), 
the Great Lakes, Ohio, Upper Mississippi, and Souris-Red-Rainy (MRB3), the Missouri (MRB4), 
the Lower Mississippi, Arkansas-White-Red, and Texas-Gulf (MRB5), the Rio Grande, Colorado,

Geospatial Bathymetry Dataset and Elevation-Area-Capacity Table for Rondout Reservoir, 2013 to 2014

From 2013 to 2015, bathymetric surveys of New York City’s six West of Hudson reservoirs (Ashokan, Cannonsville, Neversink, Pepacton, Rondout, and Schoharie) were performed to provide updated capacity tables and bathymetric maps.  Depths were surveyed with a single-beam echo sounder and real-time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) along planned transects at predetermined intervals for each reservoir.  A separate set of echo sounder data was collected along transects at oblique angles to the main transects for accuracy assessment.  Field survey data was combined with water-surface elevations in a geographic information system to create three-dimensional surfaces representing reservoir-bed elevations in the form of triangulated irregular networks (TINs); the TINs were linearly enforced to better represent geomorphic features within the reservoirs.  The linearly enforced TINs were used to create bathymetric maps of the reservoirs; contours were mapped at 2-foot intervals and capacity was calculated at 0.01-foot intervals.

Modified Mercalli Intensity based on horizontal spectral response acceleration for 1.0-second period, with 1-percent probability of exceedance in 1 year

A one-year seismic hazard forecast for the Central and Eastern United States, based on induced and natural  earthquakes, has been produced by the U.S. Geological Survey.  The model assumes that earthquake rates calculated from several different time windows will remain relatively stationary and can be used to forecast earthquake hazard and damage intensity for the year 2016. This assessment is the first step in developing an operational earthquake forecast for the CEUS, and the analysis could be revised with updated seismicity and model parameters. Consensus input models consider alternative earthquake catalog durations, smoothing parameters, maximum magnitudes, and ground motion estimates, and represent uncertainties in earthquake occurrence and diversity of opinion in the science community.  Near some areas of active induced earthquakes, hazard is higher than in the 2014 USGS National Seismic Hazard Model (NHSM) by more than a factor of 3; the 2014 NHSM did not consider induced earthquakes. In some areas, previously observed induced earthquakes have stopped, so the seismic hazard reverts back to the 2014 NSHM.
This data set represents the results of calculations of hazard curves for a grid of points with a spacing of 0.05 degrees in latitude and longitude.  It represents the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) with a 1-percent probability of exceedance in 1 year.  The MMI values are obtained by converting 1.0-second spectral response acceleration to MMI.  The data are for the Central and Eastern United States and are based on the one-year model described above.

Data for herpetofaunal inventories of the national parks of South Florida and the Caribbean: Volume I, Everglades National Park

The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) requires the use of ecological indicators to measure the success of restoration efforts.  The Everglades amphibian community is ideal because amphibians are present in all habitats and under all hydrologic regimes.  During Everglades restoration, hydrologic patterns will change and the response of ecological indicators will determine success. Fourteen amphibian species were detected through visual encounter surveys, vocalization surveys and trapping methods throughout the study and the occurrence information collected in this project database.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2015 and 2018 Site 0530 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. 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 390 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. This dataset consists of a matrix of five land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, YYYY and 2018).  The resulting matrix has 32 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those five dates.
