Functional diversity metrics of floodplain forests from Michigan's Lower Peninsula

Floodplain forest species are presumed to interact strongly with the environment, as evidenced by pronounced spatial variation in flood-driven abiotic constraints and forest composition. These data describe functional diversity and environmental characteristics for 156 forest assemblages sampled on floodplain landforms within transects from the lower peninsula of Michigan. The functional diversity of each assemblage is characterized by two metrics of functional richness (Convex Hull Volume/CHV and Trait Onion Peeling/TOP), one metric of functional dispersion (FDis), and community weighted mean functional trait values. Functional diversity metrics were calculated from 12 quantitative and qualitative functional traits extracted from public datasets following published methods. Environmental attributes are characterized for each assemblage for multiple spatial scales (e.g., transect level, landform level, and within-landform level) and include transect type, measures and classes of landform relative elevation and distance to channel, and characterizations of microtopography. The data are intended for use in analyses of relationships between floodplain forest functional diversity and environment.

Tadpole Fire Debris Flow and Wood Collector Measurements May 2021

This is a dataset of location and photo data for the debris flow deposits measured in the Tadpole Wildfire. The data were collected using the ArcGIS Collector application by multiple individuals. The original data are stored in a geodatabase here, and the geodatabase has the following fields: Latitude (decimal degrees), Longitude (decimal degrees), Elevation (meters), GlobalID (a unique ID), CreationDate, Creator, EditDate, Editor, and Notes. Each point in the geodatabase represents an observation (either a debris flow deposit or a wood measurement), and most points also include associated photos of the deposit/wood. An opensource version of the geodatabase is provided as a shapefile, containing the same fields mentioned above. The photos associated with each point are in a separate folder in this data release, and the file called photo_table.csv contains the GlobalIDs and photo names that correspond to each location in the shapefile.

Sediment model inputs and outputs for the Smith Creek watershed near New Market, Virginia for 2012-2016

This data release includes data created, collected, and/or otherwise modified in the process of quantifying a sediment budget for the Smith Creek Watershed near New Market, Virginia, USA. Four raster files are included, namely a modeled index of hydrological connectivity, a raster model of modeled floodplain depositional masses and extent, a raster of modeled delivered upland erosion, and a hydrologically conditioned Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Two vector shapefiles are also included. The first documents the results from the stepwise linear regression models developed to estimate erosion attributed to streambeds, streambanks, and floodplains along stream reaches throughout the watershed. The second documents the same results, now converted to mass rates, for streambeds and streambanks at the sub-watershed level. Floodplain mass results are included in the raster documenting depositional masses and modeled floodplain extent. The  Finally, five comma delimited tables are included: three contain field-measured rates of erosion and deposition for streambeds, streambanks, and floodplains for a number of sites throughout the watershed, as well as the independent variables used for model development; a fourth table contains information pertaining to density of source samples collected in the field for the various source types; the final table contains data concerning suspended sediment loads measured at the watershed outlet, in addition to flow type classifications.

Daily ages of young-of-year Silver Chub from western Lake Erie, 2017-2018

Daily ages of young-of-year Silver Chub were estimated from counts of rings in lapilli otoliths. Lapilli were mounted to glass slides with thermoplastic cement and sanded to the core with 2000 grit sandpaper to expose daily rings. To improve clarity, sanded otoliths were polished with 0.3 μm alumina powder and a polishing cloth prior to viewing. To estimate daily age, counts of rings in otoliths were made under 100-200 magnification three times by one biologist with more than two decades of experience analyzing daily rings in otoliths. For each round of counts, lapilli were viewed in random order and without knowledge of fish length. For each otolith, we calculated the mean ring count and all pairwise differences. We used the average (rounded up) of the two ring counts that were closest to each other and within 10% of the mean count as the estimated age. If all pairwise differences were greater than 10% of the mean ring count, we estimated ring count a fourth time and calculated the new pairwise differences. If there were no pairs within 10% of the mean ring count after a fourth count, we eliminated the otolith from further analyses.

Hydric and mesic riparian plant species data for quantifying divergent physiological responses to a Colorado River experimental flow

These data were compiled to assess physiological responses of plants to short-term changes in streamflow, both increased and decreased. Objective(s) of our study were to determine the degree to which plants with different habitat preferences and functional strategies responded to short-term increases or decreases in the elevation of the water table. These data represent streamflow rates, temperature, and metrics of plant water status. These data were collected in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area from March 13-27, 2021, and collected by the U.S. Geological Survey-Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center. Streamflow data were obtained from the Lees Ferry gage station, and temperature data were obtained from the Lees Ferry weather station. Plant water status metrics were measured with a Meter SC-1 porometer, PMS Instruments 1505D-EXP pressure chamber, and through gravimetric methods. These data can be used to infer impacts of altered streamflows to the physiological status of riparian plant species.

CONUS404: Four-kilometer long-term regional hydroclimate reanalysis over the conterminous United States (ver. 2.0, December 2023)

This metadata record serves as documentation for the authoritative version of the CONUS404 atmospheric forcing dataset. CONUS404 is an abbreviated description for the original 40-year dataset: CONtiguous United States for 40 years at 4-kilometer grid spacing; however, the dataset has been revised to now include 43 years of data. This is a dataset of historical conditions (water years 1980-2022, October 1, 1979-September 30, 2022) and has sufficient temporal and spatial detail to resolve mesoscale atmospheric processes, making it appropriate for forcing hydrological models and conducting meteorological analyses. The dataset is the output of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) v 3.9.1.1 model (Skamarock and others, 2008), forced with ERA5 reanalysis data (Hersbach and others, 2020), and consists of time series of nearly 200 2-dimensional variables and a wide range of 3-dimensional variables. Three sets of files were produced at different temporal resolutions: (1) 376,944 hourly files with all model outputs (files contained in wrfout directory), (2) 15,706 daily files containing data at 15-minute increments for precipitation and 2-meter temperature (files contained in auxhist24 directory), and (3) 15,706 daily files with minimum, maximum, and average values of a selection of surface variables (files contained in wrfxtrm directory). The Entity and Attribute element of the metadata record documents data dictionaries for all the variables in each of the three types of output files. These data dictionaries are attached to this data release.
The output files are approximately one petabyte (1 PB) in volume and are being archived on the U.S. Geological Survey's Black Pearl tape drive system. The data can be accessed through a Globus access portal here: 
https://app.globus.org/file-manager?origin_id=12aeed7a-9693-4f99-9816-96911c1322d2&amp;origin_path=%2F&amp;two_pane=true.

Broadband Ground Motion Simulations for 12 California Region Earthquakes

This Data Release consists of broadband ground motion simulations for 12 California region earthquakes. The ground motion simulations were done as part of a validation study that is described in more detail in Graves (2022). These simulations were computed using a hybrid simulation methodology (hereafter referred to as GP). The GP approach is a hybrid in that separate responses are computed for the low- and high-frequency components, which are then summed together to produce the full broadband response.
The 12 earthquakes considered in Graves, R.W. Using a Grid-Search Approach to Validate the Graves-Pitarka Broadband Simulation Method, submitted to Earth, Planets and Space, 2022, are analyzed. These events span the magnitude (Mw) range 5.9 to 7.3 and were all well recorded by strong ground motion networks. For each earthquake, a total of 240 realizations were run. These 240 realizations sample specified ranges of fault width, average rupture speed, and average rise time. Additionally, each realization has a unique randomized slip distribution.

Predicted Pinyon Jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) densities across the western United States, 2008-2020

Management intended to benefit a target species may also affect non-target species that co-occur over space and time. Pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) populations experienced long-term declines and rely on habitat that could be lost to conifer removal programs for greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). Using 13 years of point count data (2008-2020) collected across the western United States and a suite of relevant covariates for habitat, we fit a hierarchical model to characterize and predict pinyon jay densities and evaluate population trends. The resulting maps include pinyon jay density at the beginning (PIJA_2008_PredictedDensity.tif) and end (PIJA_2020_PredictedDensity.tif) of our study period, a map depicting the percent change (difference) between the two years (PIJA_MedianDensityChange_2008to2020.tif), as well as masks representing all raster cells where one or more covariate pixel value(s) fell outside of the 2.5 and 97.5 percent quantiles of the covariate sample used when fitting the model, which could result in unusually high or low predictions of pinyon jay density (PIJA_mask_raster_2008.tif and PIJA_mask_raster_2020.tif).
