Site Covariates at Blackrock and Togwotee Pass, Wyoming 2013-2016

This data set provides the names and locations of sites and site descriptors (i.e. site covariates). These data are associated with the project that is abstracted below: 
Amphibian decline is a problem of global importance, with over 40% of species considered at risk. This phenomenon is not limited to the tropics or to other countries. Amphibian species in the U.S. are also declining, contributing to the larger, global phenomenon. For example, in the State of Wyoming, the Wyoming toad has been extirpated in the wild and the boreal toad is a species of special concern. Understanding biotic and abiotic factors that influence amphibian persistence is critical for amphibian conservation. This work in northern Wyoming has focused on demography, habitat alteration and creation, and disease in the context of multiple amphibian populations. One of the foci has been to identify the capacity for mitigation wetlands (those created to offset losses due to, for example, road construction) to serve as habitat for amphibians.  Four species of amphibians native to Wyoming, including the boreal toad, reside in this region. Our previous research indicates that the toad population at Blackrock is declining at 5-6% per year and that disease due to the amphibian chytrid fungus is contributing to this decline. Our demographic work at this site began in 2003, focusing solely on the boreal toad. Additional funding in 2012 allowed us to increase the scope of the project and assess chorus frog, salamander and Columbia spotted frog populations, invertebrate assemblages,  work to quantify the use of mitigation sites by amphibians, and to expand efforts to include sites on Togwotee Pass a short distance away from Blackrock. Because most previous studies of amphibian use of created wetlands have taken place in the eastern United States, this project, incorporating demographic and disease dynamics as well as community composition and mitigation effects of created wetlands, is unique and provides  a case study in the Intermountain West. By 2015, all four native amphibian species were observed at one of the created wetlands, and all of them, including the boreal toad, were breeding (evidenced by breeding behavior, eggs or tadpoles).

Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 Transects with Short-Term End Point Rate Calculations for Mississippi

Sandy ocean beaches are a popular recreational destination, often surrounded by communities containing valuable real estate.  Development is on the rise despite the fact that coastal infrastructure is subjected to flooding and erosion.  As a result, there is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes.  To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along open-ocean sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.
There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change.  Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments.  The impetus behind the National Assessment project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast.  The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.

Table 1. Reported and inventoried crop and irrigated acreage in Polk County, Florida, 1974–2016.

A detailed inventory of irrigated crop acreage is not available at the level of resolution needed to accurately estimate agricultural water-use or to project future water demands in many Florida counties. A detailed summary table of irrigated acreage for the 2016 growing season was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for Polk County, Florida. This table summarizes irrigated acreage inventoried in 2016 for Polk County and includes totals of acreage by irrigation system. It also provides a comparison between published acreage totals for previous years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Census of Agriculture and those determined from this inventory. The irrigated acreage estimated by the USGS for this 2016 inventory totaled 88,652 acres.

Supplemental Data for Water-Balance Techniques for Determining Available Soil-Water Storage for Selected Sandy and Clay Soil Study Sites in Cass County, North Dakota, 2016–17

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, collected field and remotely sensed data on precipitation, evapotranspiration (ET), and soil-water content to determine available soil-water storage (AWS) at six study sites on sandy and clay soils in Cass County, North Dakota. Data were collected at all the study sites from May 1–October 31, 2016, and from May 1–October 24, 2017. Estimated daily AWS was determined using daily meteorological and potential evapotranspiration (PET) data obtained from various climate stations, and estimated monthly AWS was determined using monthly meteorological and PET data and monthly ET data determined using the Operational Simplified Surface Energy Balance model. AWS during 2016 and 2017 was determined at daily and monthly time steps because of data availability and to assess results using varying time steps.

Magnetotelluric sounding data, station 18, north eastern Nevada, 2003

This dataset includes the magnetotelluric (MT) sounding data collected in 2003 along a north-south profile west of Wendover, Nevada. It is important to know whether major mining districts in the Northern Nevada Gold Province are underlain by rocks of the Archean Wyoming craton, which are known to contain orogenic gold deposits, or by accreted rocks of the Paleoproterozoic Mojave province. It is also important to know the location and orientation of the Archean/Proterozoic suture zone between these provinces as well as major basement structures within these terranes because they may influence subsequent patterns of sedimentation, deformation, magmatism, and hydrothermal activity. This study was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Resources Program in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021 Site 0086 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 six land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021).  The resulting matrix has 64 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those six dates.

Qualitative and quantitative surveys of native freshwater mussels in the upper and middle Delaware River (2000-2002)

Data is included for two types of field surveys conducted for freshwater mussels in the mainstem of the middle and upper Delaware River in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States from 2000-2002. Timed search (qualitative) surveys were conducted during 2000-2001 from a point at the confluence of the East and West Branches of the Delaware River near Hancock, NY continuously downstream to a point at the mouth of the Paulins Kill River near Columbia, NJ.  In this qualitative survey, mussel species and counts were collected in the field catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) data was determined for all mussel species within each of 1,095 consecutive stream sections ~200 m in length.  Subsequent quantitative surveys were conducted in select 200-m sections of river using quadrats during 2002 in order to estimate abundance and density of mussel present in these sections.  One Excel file contains data from qualitative surveys, and a second excel file contains data from quantitative quadrat surveys.

Assessment of Mercury Cycling in the St Louis River, MN using Mercury and Food Web (Carbon and Nitrogen) Stable Isotopes

The St Louis River (SLR) is the second largest tributary to Lake Superior and a designated area of concern (AOC) due to past industrial contamination of organic chemicals and heavy metals, including mercury (Hg). Sediments, prey items (odonates, mixed benthic invertebrates, and spiders), and game fish were targeted within this study to determine if industrial sources of Hg were bioaccumulating into the food web. Samples from SLR were directly compared to a reference site in the Bad River, WI to assess if legacy contamination resulted in elevated Hg concentrations in comparisons to background regions with no known point sources. Carbon and nitrogen isotopes were also employed as food web tracers to determine if dietary shifts within the estuary or migration influenced Hg source signatures. These data are a part of a larger study and associated journal article documented in Science of the Total Environment (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.146284).

Migration Routes of Pronghorn in Uinta-Cedar Herd in Wyoming

This study was tailored toward the Wyoming section of Interstate 80 (I-80), and so migrations and habitat use are more representative of pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) along I-80 rather than the entire populations. The Uinta-Cedar populations had the highest prevalence of seasonal migrations. This area primarily occupies checkerboard ownership between Bureau of Land Management and private ownership. Oil and gas drilling as well as sheep ranching are relatively common. Seasonal ranges are characterized by arid to semiarid habitats with sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) as the predominant vegetation type. Seasonal ranges can also include interspersed grasslands, and low-lying areas can also include black greasewood (Sarcobatus vermiculatus) and Gardner’s saltbush (Artiplex gardneri). In the Uinta-Cedar population, south of I-80, pronghorn most often had winter ranges either along I-80 or to the south closer to Manila, Utah (fig. 40). The migration route pronghorn followed to access the southern winter range tended to parallel I80 in the eastern direction, then paralleled State Highway 530 and the Flaming Gorge Reservoir in the southern direction. The spring migrations were direct north movements and either paralleled Highway 530 or were between Cedar Mountain and Black Mountain. Summer ranges were often located along I-80, either to the east of Lyman or near the Blacks Fork, north of the confluence with the Green River. On average, pronghorn migrated 45.5 mi (73.3 km), with a minimum distance of 26.0 mi (41.8 km), and a maximum distance of 72.0 mi (115.9 km).
These data provide the location of migration routes for pronghorn in the Uinta-Cedar population in Wyoming. They were developed from 16  migration sequences collected from a sample size of 9 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2 hours.
