Marsh surface elevation and accretion datasets for coastal NPS marshes in the northeast U.S.: Trend Analyses for Northeast Coastal and Barrier (NCBN), Northeast Temperate Network (NETN) and National Capital Region Network (NCRN) Network Parks

Tabular datasets in text format (.CSV) containing data on marsh surface elevation, accretion, and sampling station information.  The datasets were used in a custom R Package (https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2296626) containing code, data, and documentation to:

• Determine trends for each Sampling Station, Site and Park using a GLMM or GAMM based on elevation and accretion data over the full length of the dataset.
• Compare elevation and accretion trends to each other for each Sampling Station and Site, as well as to local rates of sea level rise (SLR),
• Provide guidance based for when to consider analyzing the SET dataset over shorter time periods, as well as compare accretion and elevation linear trends based on fall and spring sampling dates to determine if sampling frequency can be limited to once per year.

Data release associated with the report "Trends in satellite-derived phenology in grasslands and shrublands of Southern Colorado Plateau Network parks" (2003-2022)

This dataset accompanies the report "Trends in satellite-derived phenology in grasslands and shrublands of Southern Colorado Plateau Network parks". The report examines daily satellite-derived vegetation index data from 2002-2022 for 12 study areas in 6 parks of the Southern Colorado Plateau Network. Data were derived from MODIS sensors onboard the Aqua and Terra satellites, using the MOD09GQ product for reflectance data and the MOD09GA product for quality screening of individual pixel values (Collection #6). Detailed processing steps are described in Norris 2020. Broadly, the processing steps were: 1) Satellite reflectance data for individual pixels within the target study areas were screened to retain only high-quality values. 2) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was calculated for those values. 3) A 15-day median-smooth was applied to each pixel's complete time series 4) Median-smoothed values were only retained if there were at least three high-quality contributing values. 5) Linear interpolation filled in values across missing days. Files include: 1) Daily time series for each contributing pixel of each of the 12 study areas. This dataset includes all individual pixel locations (latitude-longitude). 2) Daily time series for the median value across all study area pixels. 3) Yearly peak values and dates-of-peak for each study area. 4) Results of daily-ranked trend analysis 5) Climate normal values for study areas from PRISM 30-year climate normals (1991-2020) 6) Historical seasonal climate values for study areas from nClimGrid data from 1940-2022.

This is the biological stream survey monitoring dataset collected by the National Capital Region Network (NCRN) Inventory and Monitoring Program from 2004 through 2022. Biological stream surveys (BSSs) collect information about fish, macroinvertebrates, and habitat quality and quantity in perennial nontidal streams. Measurements were collected at 53 sites in the National Capital Region, with 37 extant and 16 retired sites as of 2024. Most sites have one or two site visits.

Fish Inventory at Cape Lookout National Seashore in 2003-2004 - Open Format Dataset

The Southeast Coast Network is comprised of 20 parks within the states of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, all of which are responsible for a large percentage of the fish diversity in the United States. Collectively, these parks would be expected to harbor a high diversity of fishes due to the wide range of habitats represented. At the time of the present study (2001-2005), many basic species inventories for fishes were lacking for many of the parks in the network. The purpose of the study was to sample fishes in 12 parks to supplement existing data or to provide preliminary records of fishes where no records existed. From these data an expected list of fishes for all parks was generated. In 2023, the data was then processed for dissemination by the Inventory and Monitoring Division (IMD), complying with Executive Order 13642, Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default for Government Information (GPO 2013). Processed tabular datasets have been created using the data provided from the parks, following Darwin Core naming standards and introducing data quality flagging where data was missing or unclear.

Southeast Alaska I&M Network Water Quality Data Package (FQ_Q) for monitoring years 2011-2022 at Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park

This data set is a comma-separated values (CSV) file containing continuous hourly water quality observations of the Taiya River in Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park for monitoring years 2011-2022. The core parameters collected are water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, and conductivity, obtained from multiparameter sondes during the ice-free season. Using the Aquarius Time-Series application, data have been quality controlled, graded against formal criteria specified in the protocol (SOP 7, Data Evaluation and Grading in Aquarius), drift corrected where appropriate, and certified for publication. The data set (CSV) and associated metadata are zipped into a site-specific archive (ZIP file), identified as the FQ_Q deliverable in the water quality protocol.

Bat Inventory at New River Gorge National Park and Preserve 2022 - Open Format Dataset

In 2022, an estimated 1.6 million people visited New River Gorge (NPS 2023b). To date, there are over 1,600 established rock climbs documented in the New River Gorge area (Mountain Project 2022, Williams 2019). As visitation has increased, NERI has become interested in documenting the presence of bat species and their habitat on and near the cliff face, rim, and base areas to support a park management plan. A total of 51 routes were selected to survey three times throughout the summer of 2022. Cliff line surveys included personnel on-rope rappelling down each selected cliff face to look for bats or bat sign and to collect data on the physical attributes and record habitat information. In addition, a simultaneous acoustic survey for bats was conducted at the base of each survey route. Although no bats or bat sign were documented, analysis of the acoustic data in concert with the environmental factors revealed that bats were detected at more highly climbed walls versus unclimbed walls, at least northern long-eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) were more likely to be detected near less vegetated walls, and activity of eastern small-footed bats (Myotis leibii) was higher as the summer progressed. Bats that roost on rock walls use cracks and crevices, which are also an important feature for climbers. Opportunistic conversations with climbers revealed that bats are observed on the cliffs. Colorado State University has a Climbers for Bat Conservation group (CSU 2023) that could be a resource for engaging climbers in a citizen science campaign.
