Annual National Land Cover Database (NLCD) Collection 1 Summary Land Cover Change Index 1985-2023 Conterminous United States

The USGS Land Cover program has combined the tried-and-true methodologies from premier land cover projects, National Land Cover Database (NLCD) and Land Change Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP), together with modern innovations in geospatial deep learning technologies to create the next generation of land cover and land change information. The product suite is called, “Annual NLCD” and includes six annual products that represent land cover and surface change characteristics of the U.S.:
1) Land Cover,
2) Land Cover Change,
3) Land Cover Confidence,
4) Fractional Impervious Surface,
5) Impervious Descriptor, and
6) Spectral Change Day of Year.
These land cover science product algorithms harness the remotely sensed Landsat data record to provide state-of-the-art land surface change information needed by scientists, resource managers, and decision-makers. Annual NLCD uses a modernized, integrated approach to map, monitor, synthesize, and understand the complexities of land use, cover, and condition change. With this first release, Annual NLCD, Collection 1.0, the six products are available for the Conterminous U.S. for 1985 – 2023. 
Questions about the Annual NLCD product suite can be directed to the Annual NLCD mapping team at USGS EROS, Sioux Falls, SD (605) 594-6151 or custserv@usgs.gov. See included spatial metadata for more details.
The Land Cover Change Index product summarizes Annual NLCD Land Cover change into 15 change classes. These classes are intended to communicate thematic change impact, and were based on the following hierarchy: water, urban, wetland, herbaceous wetland, agriculture, cultivated crop, hay pasture, rangeland grass and shrub, barren, woody wetland, forest type, urban within, forest transition mixed rangeland and forest change, and forest transition mixed rangeland and shrub/scrub change.

Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for Amphibians in the North Central United States

Climate change is a primary threat to biodiversity, but for most species, we still lack information required to assess their potential vulnerability to changes. Climate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) is a widely-used technique to rank relative vulnerability to climate change based on species distributions, habitat associations, environmental tolerances, and life-history traits. For species that we expect are vulnerable to climate change yet are data deficient, like many amphibians, we often lack information required to construct traditional CCVAs. We extended the CCVA framework by constructing models based on life history theory, using empirical evidence of traits and distributions that reflected sensitivity of data-deficient species to environmental perturbation. These csv data files were assembled to perform climate change vulnerability assessments of the 31 amphibian species, both across the north central region and within individual  US states. We incorporated information from species' life history traits and other characteristics along with climate projections of evapotranspiration deficit change, to score relative vulnerability of the 31 amphibians. Associated R code is for scoring relative vulnerability, where overall score is a product of exposure to climate change times sensitivity to that change, minus adaptive capacity of each species. All species are listed as Species of Greatest Conservation Need in at least one of 7 states in the North Central United States: Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas.

Fuels Data from Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks 2022

We established a network of 121 plots distributed within the 2020 SQF, 2020 Rattlesnake, and 2021 KNP complex fire footprints (extracted from Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP), https://frap.fire.ca.gov), as well as outside the fire perimeters to provide an unburned comparison. These plots were combined from two projects: a fire and fuels study (F&amp;F) and the USGS sequoia research program (SRP), a related study of sequoia grove condition. All plots were visited in the summer of 2022, and thus we captured dynamics 1 and 2 years post-fire. Plots were restricted to conifer forest types, informed by a Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks (SEKI) vegetation classification geospatial layer. F&amp;F plots (102 in total) were stratified by elevation bands (1500-1917, 1917-2333, 2333-2750 m) and satellite-derived metrics of fire severity. SRP plots (19 in total) were placed in both burned and unburned giant sequoia groves. In all, 45 plots were located across eleven giant sequoia groves, with the remaining 76 plots located outside of groves.

Behavioral responses to different sensory stimuli in larval Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella

Sensory input and systems are critical for organisms to respond to their environment, allowing movement to suitable habitat and potential escape from predators.  While many stages of grass carp ontogeny have been described, neurosensory development remains unclear. Using behavioral tests, we looked at phonotaxis and chemotaxis from initial gas bladder inflation to the development of the second gas bladder chamber (the period during which larvae leave the drift and move into nursery areas). Rheotaxis was examined from hatch through gas bladder inflation by quantifying orientation in a laboratory flume.

Data release for determination of antimycin–a in liquid formulation by high performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry

Pesticide formulations containing the active ingredient Antimycin-A (ANT-A) have been used by fisheries and aquaculture managers for several decades to remove nuisance fish species. Analytical methods for measuring ANT-A during pesticide treatments have been reported using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) paired with multiple detection methods (e.g., electrochemical, ultraviolet, fluorescence, mass spectrometry). However, instruments and analytical chemistry methods can advance over time due to the need to develop timely, reliable, cost effective, and reproducible methods. Subsequently, ANT-A analytical chemistry methods and sample processing techniques have also improved over the past several decades. In the present study, we describe a Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS) method and its verification across three separate analysts. Each analyst group created a single calibration curve and verified ANT-A in a liquid formulation using the averaged total response of all major ANT-A homologs (A1, A3, A3, A4). The advantage of this technique creates a more resilient ANT-A quantification method amendable to batch-batch differences in major homologs. The method demonstrated how ANT-A can be effectively measured with high accuracy (98 to 99%), precision (2.7 to 16.2%), and specificity within a pesticide liquid formulation using a method applicable for federal registration requirements. The dataset includes raw files of Antimycin-A analytical measurements. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.

Water Surface Elevation Data from the Siletz River, 2017-18

Water-surface elevations were recorded by 12 submerged pressure transducers deployed from fall 2017 to summer 2018 along an approximately 25-km reach of the Siletz River, Oregon. All pressure transducers were deployed in the main channel of the Siletz River. The water-surface elevations were surveyed by using a real-time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) at each pressure sensor location. Data from 10 of the 12 loggers were used to calibrate hydraulic models for sections of the Siletz River.

Shoreline Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Frequency Domain Electromagnetic (FDEM) Data along the Sinclair Inlet at the Bremerton Naval Complex, WA, June 2023

This data release contains electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) data collected in areas of unwalled shoreline at the Bremerton Naval Complex, WA, June 1-5, 2023. Preliminary inverse results from the FDEM data area also included. Two sites were investigated: Charleston Beach and Segment 4. Charleston Beach is a gently sloping pebble beach adjacent to the naval complex; whereas Segment 4 is a steeply sloping section of rocky shoreline on the naval complex surrounded by a pier and naval complex infrastructure. At Charleston Beach, FDEM data were collected with two different instruments with different sensitivity patterns (a DualEM-421 and a GEM-2) during negative tide (less than the mean low tide level) on June 2,2023. At Segment 4, various time-lapse ERT configurations were tested during June 3-5 over tidal cycles, while FDEM datasets (GEM-2 only) were collected during negative tides over this period. To facilitate comparison of geophysical data with tides, tide elevation predictions from NOAA station 9445958 are included in this release. A local digital elevation model was also created for Segment 4 using a real time kinematic (RTK) global positioning system.
