Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: CHRO

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).

AKR Exotic Plant Management (EPMT) Geodatabase

Exotic plant survey polygon data representing infested or non-infested areas including inventory, treatment, and monitoring efforts. Polygons are generated by 1) collecting point and line features and buffering them with a distance entered in the field, 2) collecting polygons features for large or irregular sized patches, or 3) collecting data within pre-existing "standardized" polygons that remain consistent from year to year. Data is collected by field personnel using mapping grade GPS and a statewide data collection protocol.

Eastern hemlocks (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr) in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park: community and ecosystem dynamics as hemlock forests transition.

Field Methods:
My work will test three predictions: (1) Hemlock decline alters nutrient cycling and decomposition rates. (2) Hemlock decline alters plant and soil communities, including microbial (bacteria and fungi) and soil arthropods (ants). (3) Hemlock decline and ant interactions with ecosystem processes will vary across elevation. To test my predictions, I will establish a series of 10- 20 m2 plots throughout the GSMNP to inventory and monitor hemlock stands. I will choose sites across a gradient of elevation throughout the park. Additionally I will classify each site based on its hemlock mortality (calculated using the percent of the hemlock crown remaining).
Vegetation sampling: All overstory trees within plots will be identified to species and the diameter at breast height measured. All shrubs and tree saplings will be identified to species and the density of individual stems will be calculated. All hemlock seedlings within the plots will be counted. Within each of these 20 m2 plots, 10 randomly stratified 1 m2 subplots will be established for understory woody vegetation, herbs, and ferns, which will be identified to species, and percent groundcover will be estimated to determine density. I will compare community composition, richness, and structure (for the overstory trees) across each of the 20 m2 plots.
Soil community sampling: To assess the soil community I will remove soil cores, sample ants, and take measurements of soils in situ at three locations within each 20 m2 plot. To monitor the ant community, I will lay out 10 pitfall traps within each plot, which will be left open for 48 hours. After this time, pitfall traps will be collected and taken to my lab to have the contents sorted and ants identified to species. I will collect 3 soil core samples per plot, to determine the abundance of soil microbial communities using qPCR, and to determine enzyme activity and microbial biomass in the soil. Soil samples will be taken back to the lab for detailed nutrient analysis including total nutrient content, nitrogen mineralization, and carbon evolution. Hemlock leaf litter will be collected and used to measure decomposition rates, using decomposition bags. Nine decomposition bags will be placed within each of the 20 m2 plots, and three bags will be removed after 3, 9, and 15 months. I will also collect in situ soil measurements including soil moisture, temperature, and respiration using a Li-Cor, and measurements will be compared across plots.

Salt Marsh Vegetation Points for Assateague Island National Seashore, Fire Island National Seashore, and Gateway National Recreation Area-Sandy Hook Unit

This dataset was collected by staff of the Environmental Data Center (EDC) at The University of Rhode Island in cooperation with the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN) of the National Park Service (NPS) under the project: Field Technician Support for Elevation Mapping of NPS Salt Marshes and other sites for Sea Level RIse Planning and Post- and Future Storm Evaluation which is a modification to Task Agreement P13ACAC00891 of Cooperative Agreement P09AC00212 Elevation Mapping of Critical Park Areas for Planning and Post- and Future Storm Evaluation and Modeling.  The data was collected from Summer 2014 to Fall 2016 at Assateague Island National Seashore (ASIS), Fire Island National Seashore (FIIS), and Gateway National Recreation Area-Sandy Hook Unit.

These datasets consist of point locations where vegetation surveys were conducted in salt marshes.  Sample locations were determined by overlaying a 20 meter grid of points on salt marsh sites determined by the NCBN.  Field crews navigated to every grid point, placed a meter square plot on the ground and sampled vegetation, identifying species type and percent cover (using the Braun-Blaunquet cover-abundance scale).  At any given point/plot there may be multiple points with the same coordinates representing the different species present at that location.  High accuracy elevation data was also collected at the same locations using RTK-GPS equipment.  This data can be found in the same project folder on the NPS Integrated Resource Management Applications (IRMA) website.

LECL Archive Lewis and Clark NHT Auto Route

The original NPS Auto Route of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, prior to the Trail's extension by Congress (P.L. 90-543, as amended through P.L. 116-9, March 12, 2019). The most current and up-to-date layer that should be used in place of this dataset is the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Congressionally Designated Route referenced here: DataStore - LECL Lewis and Clark NHT Auto Route Final Combined
 
This data set represents the official National Park Service centerline of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Auto Route as of 2017. The spatial data was created by the National Park Service prior to the extension of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail in 2019 and is derived from layers developed by the Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center as part of the 2009-2010 Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Auto Route Inventory and Assessment.
 
The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Auto Route is a system of roads and highways bracketing each side of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, which commemorates the expedition of Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery. A total of 11 Trail states are connected by the Auto Route in this dataset (Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon), and each state designated the roads and highways that make up the Lewis and Clark Auto Route. The Auto Route provides the primary way in which visitors experience the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and travel to Trail destinations.


The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail is approximately 4,900 miles long, extending from the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon, following both the outbound and inbound routes of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The trail connects 16 states (Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon) and was established by Congress in 1978 as part of the national trails system (NTS) as one of four original national historic trails. This trail commemorates the 1803-1806 expedition of Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery, which explored the Louisiana Territory and beyond. This epic journey contributed to significant scientific knowledge and profound political, social, economic, cultural, and environmental changes to the lands and the peoples of the North American continent.
