LANDFIRE Remap 2016 Succession Class (SClass) CONUS

LANDFIRE's (LF) Remap Succession Class (SClass) categorizes current vegetation composition and structure into up to five successional classes, with successional classes defined in the appropriate Biophysical Settings (BpS) Model. There are two additional categories for uncharacteristic species (exotic or invasive vegetation), and uncharacteristic native vegetation cover, structure, or composition. Current successional classes and their historical reference conditions are compared to assess departure of vegetation characteristics. To calculate vegetation departure from historical reference conditions, SClass is combined with BpS and LF map zone data to create LF Historical Reference Condition tables. The classification schemes used to produce BpS and SClass may vary slightly between adjacent map zones, and reference conditions are simulated independently for each map zone. Departure can be further quantified by using the Interagency Fire Regime Condition Class Guidebook (FRCC Guidebook) methods (Hann et al. 2010).

LANDFIRE Remap Forest Canopy Height (CH) CONUS

LANFIRE's (LF) Remap Forest Canopy Height (CH) describes the average height of the top of the canopy for a stand. In disturbed locations CH is calculated from linear regression equations derived from Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) plot data output, but at non-disturbed locations it is assigned the midpoint of Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) forested classes. In some instances, LF Remap assumes the potential burnable biomass in the tree canopy has been accounted for in the surface fuel model. For example, young or short conifer stands where the trees are represented by a shrub type fuel model will not have canopy characteristics.
LF Remap Annual Disturbance products are incorporated into CH to provide informed changes by disturbance type, severity, and time since disturbance (TSD). Annual Disturbance products provide a pre-disturbance scenario represented by LF Remap existing vegetation products, the reporting of pre-disturbance scenarios helps to calculate CH. Vegetation adjustments are then modeled in disturbance areas based on disturbance type and severity. CH is then used in the calculation of Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) and Canopy Base Height (CBH). CH supplies information for fire behavior models, such as FARSITE (Finney 1998), that can determine; the starting point for embers in the spotting model, wind reductions, and the volume of crown fuels.
CH also has capable fuels functionality, capable fuels calculate TSD assignments for disturbed areas using an effective year. For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. This new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in this example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.

Navigation data collected on Stellwagen Bank during U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2017-043-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, Aug. 22 and 23, 2017 (geographic, WGS84)

This field activity is part of an effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000-scale) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. The data collected in this study will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. On August 22 and 23, 2017, the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, conducted a research cruise aboard the Sanctuary’s Research Vessel Auk, visiting 39 locations within the sanctuary. A customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) instrument was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and measurements of water column properties.

Flow system boundary by D'Agnese and others (1997) for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system study, Nevada and California

This digital data set defines the flow-system boundary encompassing the regional ground-water flow model by 
D'Agnese and others (1997). The boundary encompasses an approximately 50,000 square-kilometer region of 
southern Nevada and California, defined as the Death Valley region by Bedinger and others (1989; see Source 
Citation Information). The flow-system boundary is mostly a no-flow boundary resulting from physical barriers 
or hydraulic separation of flow regimes (ground-water divides or regional flow lines). D'Agnese and others (1997) 
used results from the evaluation of flow-system components, such as recharge, discharge and hydrogeologic 
framework, to develop the ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) 
to support investigations at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for the U.S. Department of Energy. The regional ground-
water flow model was also the basis of development for a transient-flow model of an expanded DVRFS region 
that was completed in 2004 by the U.S. Geological Survey (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, pages 7-8, 
for details).

Aerial photomosaic of John Day Reservoir, 1966

A two-week field operation was conducted in the John Day Reservoir on the Columbia River to image the floor of the pool, to measure the distribution and thickness of post-impoundment sediment, and to verify these geophysical data with video photography and bottom sediment samples. The field program was a cooperative effort between the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Team of the Geologic Division and the USGS Columbia River Research Laboratory of the Biological Resources Division. The data collection was completed aboard the R/V ESTERO during September 13-27, 2000.
The interest in sediment accumulation in the reservoir was two-fold. First, it was unknown how effective this reservoir was as a sediment trap to material that otherwise would have been transported down-river to the estuary and eventually to the ocean. The recent erosion of beaches along the Washington coast has been attributed to a decreased contribution of sediment from the Columbia River to the coastal system due to the damming of the river. Second, sediment accumulation on the floors of reservoirs along the Columbia River has been suggested to be diminishing salmon spawning grounds. The extent of changes in habitat since construction of the John Day Dam, however, had not been documented. Common data sets were needed to address both of these questions, and for these reasons this geophysical and sampling program was undertaken.

Depth to ground water contours of hydrographic area 153, Diamond Valley, Nevada

This data set consists of depth to ground water contours for hydrographic-area (HA) 153, 
Diamond Valley, Nevada.  These data represent static ground-water levels measured in 
the HA during March and April of 2001.
			
These data were created as part of an effort to provide statewide information on water 
table and depth to ground water for Nevada.  Digital water-table contours from 38 published 
reports representing data from 1947 to 2004 were combined to create a single statewide 
data set.  Water-table contours for Diamond Valley were published in 1968 (Harrill, 1968),  
the depth to water has increased by tens of feet in this basin, however, so more recent 
data were needed to estimate current contours.
			
This data set and the associated water-table data were used to develop raster based 
models of water table and depth to ground water.

LANDFIRE Remap Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) American Samoa

The LANDFIRE (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) represents a modified pre-disturbance version of the Existing Vegetation Height (EVH) product from previous LF versions. LF Remap EVH is mapped as continuous estimates of canopy height for tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms with a potential range from 0m to 50m or more. To translate continuous EVH values into fuel model assignments, EVH values are binned to new groups to improve canopy fuel predictions. FVH leverages fuel transition assignments related to disturbed areas by re-establishing  pre-disturbance vegetation and was developed using the full suite of LF vegetation releases and the most recent 10 years of disturbance data. FVH is a capable fuels product that calculates Time Since Disturbance (TSD) assignments for disturbed areas using an "effective year." For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in the example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.

Benthic habitats of the coral reef ecosystem off the coast of Pu'uhonua O Honaunau (PUHO) National Historical Park

A benthic habitat polygon coverage has been created of the coral reef ecosystem off the coast of Pu'uhonua O Honaunau (PUHO) National Historical Park on the Kona Coast of Hawai'i. Polygons were hand-digitized from visual interpretation of aerial photography and SHOALS bathymetry data. We also utilized in situ knowledge from towed instruments, underwater photography and videography, and diver and snorkeler observations. The polygons have attributes for Main Structure/Substrate, Dominant Structure/Substrate, Major Biological Cover, Percent of Major Biological Cover, Reef Zone, Unique ID, and measurements of area (m2) of each polygon.

Tracklines for the Bathymetric Survey USGS Cruise 07CCT01

The Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS) is composed of a series of barrier islands along the Mississippi - Alabama coastline. Historically these islands have been undergoing long-term change. The devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 prompted questions about the stability of the barrier islands and their potential response against future storm impacts. Additionally, there was concern from the National Park Service (NPS) about the preservation of the historical Fort Massachusetts, located on West Ship Island. Prior to 1969, Ship Island was an individual island. In 1969 Hurricane Camille breached Ship Island, widening the cut and splitting it into what is now known as West Ship Island and East Ship Island.
In July of 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was able to provide the NPS with a small bathymetry survey of Camille Cut using high-resolution single-beam bathymetry. This provided the GUIS with a post-Katrina assessment of the bathymetry in Camille Cut and along the northern shoreline directly in front of Fort Massachusetts. Ultimately, this survey became an initial bathymetry dataset toward a larger USGS effort included in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) Ecosystem Change and Hazard Susceptibility Project.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer in southwestern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital water-level elevation contours
for the Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer in southwestern
Oklahoma. The Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer is an
unconfined aquifer that extends over an area of approximately
285 square miles and is used for irrigation and domestic
purposes. The aquifer encompasses the unconsolidated terrace deposits
and river alluvium associated with the North Fork of the Red
River and the Red River in the western half of Tillman County.
These sediments consist of discontinuous layers of clay, sandy
clay, sand, and gravel.
Water-level elevation contours for ground-water levels measured
in 1969 were digitized from a paper map in a thesis in which the
ground-water flow was modeled in the Tillman terrace and
alluvial aquifer. The map was published at a scale of 1:249,695.
Water-level elevations ranged from about 1,360 feet above sea
level in the eastern part of the aquifer to 1,120 feet above sea
level in the southern part of the aquifer.
