EC_Q14.TIF - U.S. Atlantic East Coast EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (14 of 23) (ACEA, 50 m, Clarke1866)

From February to May 1987 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted five cruises to cover the U.S. Atlantic Continental Margin Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) seaward of the continental shelf edge, and from the Canadian border southward to the northern Blake Plateau off Florida. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. Twenty-three digital mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the U.S. Atlantic Continental Margin region.

Possible Cattle Access Points on Streams within the USGS Showcase Watersheds Derived from 2018 and 2019 NAIP Imagery

This data release contains one point shapefile describing cattle access to streams for three USGS showcase watersheds: Smith Creek, Conewago Creek, and Upper Chester River. This data release identifies areas where cattle were able to access the stream, as well as possible cattle access areas. Streams were defined using a combination of geospatial data and aerial imagery and cattle access points were determined by locating cattle paths adjacent to stream morphology.

Greater sage-grouse closeness centrality of fully connected population structure in the western United States

Closeness centrality (cc; grsg_lcp_closeness_centrality) measures the average length of the shortest path between the node and all other nodes in the graph. The more central a node, the closer it is to all other nodes and the more likely information/movements can flow to other nodes. Closeness is computed as one divided by the average path lengths from a node to its neighbors, which assumes that important nodes are close to other nodes. The data were defined from least-cost paths (LCPs) constructed into minimum spanning trees (MSTs). We identified a threshold of the cc normalized value (&gt;0.047) where patterns of network connectivity occurred in our graph. The cc identified leks with the greatest number of shortest paths between neighboring leks and therefore reflected the highest concentration of shortest paths between leks within an area. Leks identified with a cc value greater than our threshold were buffered by 15 km (inter-patch movement distance and distance of genetic flow), resulting in this dataset. Closeness centrality captured large areas with a higher density of sage-grouse, which we used to evaluate our derived population structure.
Understanding wildlife population structure and connectivity can help managers identify conservation strategies, as structure can facilitate the study of population changes and habitat connectivity can provide information on dispersal and biodiversity. We developed an approach to define hierarchical population structure (in other words, demarcation of subpopulations) using graph theory (in other words, connectivity) from an amalgamation of biological inferences encompassing dispersal capabilities based on movements and genetic flow, seasonal habitat conditions, and functional processes (for example, selection of habitat at multiple scales) affecting movements. We applied our approach to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), an upland gamebird species of conservation concern in western United States. We defined sage-grouse population structure by creating a cost surface, informed from functional processes of habitat characteristics to account for the resistance of inter-patch movements, and developing least-cost paths between breeding habitat sites (leks). The least-cost paths were combined into a multi-path graph construct for which we then used information on potential connectivity (dispersal distances) and functional connectivity (permeability of fragmented landscapes based on selection preferences) to decompose the graph into structures of subpopulations.

Model Archive Summary for Suspended-Sediment Concentration at U.S. Geological Survey Site 385553107243301; North Fork Gunnison below Raven Gulch near Somerset, Colorado

This model archive summary documents the suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) model developed to estimate 15-minute SSC at North Fork Gunnison River below Raven Gulch, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) site number 385553107243301.  The methods used follow USGS guidance as referenced in relevant Office of Surface Water/Office of Water Quality Technical Memoranda and USGS Techniques and Methods, book 3, chap. C5 (Landers and others, 2016), and USGS Techniques and Methods, book 3, chap. C4 (Rasmussen and others, 2009). A total of 456 suspended-sediment samples were collected during the calibration period (45 cross-section and 411 single-station automatic pump samples). Thirty-nine samples (18 pump samples and 21 equal-width-interval (EWI) samples) with associated streamflow and turbidity were used in the model calibration dataset. These 39 samples were collected over the range of observed streamflow and turbidity conditions. Samples used in calibration were plotted on duration curve plots for streamflow from April 24, 2015 to October 7, 2017 and turbidity from April 24, 2015 to October 7, 2017. The plots indicate that samples were collected for the observed range of conditions at the site. Suspended-sediment concentrations at this site were computed from a calibrated regression model between SSC and turbidity. Streamflow, 2 frequencies of sediment corrected backscatter (SCB) (1.5 and 3.0 megahertz (MHz)), and 2 frequencies of sediment attenuation coefficient (SAC) (1.5 and 3.0 MHz) were also examined as potential variables but did not significantly improve the model. An ordinary least squares linear regression model was developed using the ‘stats’ and ‘smwrStats’ packages in R (R Core Team, 2018). Streamflow, SCB, SAC, and turbidity were examined as potential explanatory variables for estimating SSC. A natural log transformed turbidity was selected as the best explanatory variable.

Global dataset on the effects of climate change on ecosystem goods and services (EGS) compiled from English language papers published between 2014 and 2018

Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to the supply and demand of ecosystem goods and services that maintain human well-being. A recent review found that the impacts of climate change on ecosystem services are sometimes mixed, posing challenges for managers who need to adapt to these changes. We expand on earlier work by exploring drivers of varying responses of ecosystem services to climate within studies. We conducted a systematic review of English-language papers directly assessing climate change impacts on the supply, demand, or monetary value of ‘provisioning services’, ‘regulating services’, or ‘cultural services’. Ultimately, we extracted data from 44 papers published from December 2014 to March 2018. In addition to recording direct climate impacts, we extracted data regarding climate interactions with non-climate drivers (e.g., land use change), study context (e.g., spatial scale, location, ecosystem) and methodology, characteristics and interactions between services, whether and how uncertainty was assessed, and implications for decision-making. To answer our core research question, we extracted data reflecting drivers of mixed responses (e.g., variation in ecosystem service responses over space, ecosystem service indicators, time periods, or climate change scenarios, models or variables). While biased and constrained by excluding articles published in non-English languages and grey literature, this data spreadsheet compiles summary information and relevant literature for managers, decision-makers, researchers, and planners.
