Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2018 Site 0039 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 five land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, YYYY and 2018).  The resulting matrix has 32 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those five dates.

2014 Post-Hurricane Sandy SC to NY NOAA NGS Lidar-Derived Dune Crest, Toe and Shoreline

The storm-induced Coastal Change Hazards component of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards (NACCH) project focuses on understanding the magnitude and variability of extreme storm impacts on sandy beaches. Light detection and ranging (lidar)-derived beach morphologic features such as dune crest, toe and shoreline help define the vulnerability of the beach to storm impacts. This dataset defines the elevation and position of the seaward-most dune crest and toe and the mean high-water shoreline derived from the 2014 Post-Hurricane Sandy South Carolina to New York National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Geodetic Survey (NGS) lidar survey. Beach width is included and is defined as the distance between the dune toe and shoreline along a cross-shore profile. The beach slope is calculated using this beach width and the elevation of the shoreline and dune toe.

Corescan© Hyperspectral Core Imager, Mark III system RGB imagery

Corescan© Hyperspectral Core Imager Mark III (HCI-III) system data were acquired for hand samples, and subsequent billets made from the hand samples, collected during the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 2014, 2015, and 2016 field seasons in the Nabesna area of the eastern Alaska Range. This area contains exposed porphyry deposits and hand samples were collected throughout the region in support of the HyMap imaging spectrometer survey (https://doi.org/10.5066/F7DN435W) (Kokaly and others, 2017). The HCI-III system consists of three different components. The first is an imaging spectrometer which collects reflectance data with a spatial resolution of approximately 500 nanometers (nm) for 514 spectral channels covering the 450-2,500 nm wavelength range of the electromagnetic spectrum (Martini and others, 2017). The second is a spectrally calibrated RGB camera that collects high resolution imagery of the samples with a 50 micrometer (μm) pixel size. The third component is a three-dimensional (3D) laser profiler that measures sample texture, surface features and shape with a vertical resolution of 20 μm (Martini and others, 2017). 
Corescan RGB imagery were provided for a total of 63 hand samples and four billets were analyzed using the HCI-III system in three scans.

Experimental recovery rates of tidal marsh vegetation

We measured the response of plants to disturbance across a gradient in inundation times by transplanting tussocks of Schoenoplectus americanus into mesocosms of different elevation in two marsh organ platforms. Both organs were planted on April 11, 2012 and harvested on August 21, 2012. Plants in one organ were disturbed by clipping all above ground vegetation on June 20 2012 (62 days), and left undisturbed in a control organ.  Plant stems were clipped at the soil surface to isolate standing above ground material, and sorted into live and dead fractions by species. Above ground biomass was washed and dried at 70°C to a constant weight.

Prey fish returned to Forster’s tern colonies in South San Francisco Bay during 2005-2015

Prey fish were collected at 17 Forster’s tern breeding colonies during colony visits from 2005-2015. Prey fish were identified to the lowest taxonomic category. We present relative abundances by colony and year for each of the 10 major species groups. Unidentified fish species or rarely observed species were combined into an “Other” category. We calculated an arithmetic mean, standard deviation (sd), 25th quantile, and 75th quantile for dry standard length (SL; mm) and dry mass (g) for each fish species at each colony.
These data support the following publication: Peterson SH, Ackerman JT, Eagles-Smith CA, Herzog MP, Hartman CA (2018) Prey fish returned to Forster’s tern colonies suggest spatial and temporal differences in fish composition and availability.

Predicted 2020 densities for 11 songbird species across the western United States

Informed wildlife management requires robust information regarding population status, habitat requirements, and likely responses to changing resource conditions. Growing evidence indicates single species management may inadequately conserve communities and result in undesired effects to non-target species. Thus, management can benefit from habitat relationship information for multiple species within, and across, ecosystems. 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 hierarchical models to characterize and predict songbird densities and evaluate population trends for 11 species of interest: Bewick’s Wren (Thryomanes bewickii; BEWR), Brewer’s Sparrow (Spizella breweri; BRSP), Black-throated Gray Warblers (Setophaga nigrescens; BTYW), Gray Flycatcher (Empidonax wrightii; GRFL), Gray Vireo (Vireo vicinior; GRVI), Green-tailed Towhee (Pipilo chlorurus; GTTO), Juniper Titmouse (Baeolophus ridgwayi; JUTI), Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus; LOSH), Sagebrush Sparrow (Amphispiza belli; SABS), Sage Thrasher (Oreoscoptes montanus; SATH), and Townsend’s Solitaire (Myadestes townsendi; TOSO). The resulting maps include density (birds/km2) for each species (BEWR_2020_PredictedDensity.tif, BRSP_2020_PredictedDensity.tif, BTYW_2020_PredictedDensity.tif, GRFL_2020_PredictedDensity.tif, GRVI_2020_PredictedDensity.tif, GTTO_2020_PredictedDensity.tif, JUTI_2020_PredictedDensity.tif, LOSH_2020_PredictedDensity.tif, SABS_2020_PredictedDensity.tif, SATH_2020_PredictedDensity.tif, and TOSO_2020_PredictedDensity.tif), given 2020 environmental conditions, 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 (BEWR_mask_raster_2020.tif, BRSP_mask_raster_2020.tif, BTYW_mask_raster_2020.tif, GRFL_mask_raster_2020.tif, GRVI_mask_raster_2020.tif, GTTO_mask_raster_2020.tif, JUTI_mask_raster_2020.tif, LOSH_mask_raster_2020.tif, SABS_mask_raster_2020.tif, SATH_mask_raster_2020.tif, and TOSO_mask_raster_2020.tif). Values of one within the mask layers indicate there may be considerable uncertainty associated with the predicted values and/or that values may be unusually high or low.

Results from the literature review meta-analysis for the Chesapeake Stressor Identification Project

This dataset includes information compiled for the literature review meta-analysis portion for the Chesapeake Bay Stressor Identification Project. The dataset includes basic identifying information regarding the publication (last name of the first author, year published, study type, and number of observational units included in the study), the response metric for which results were reported, and the major source or driver that was the focus of the study. The dataset denotes for each stressor category whether a stressor was measured and whether the study’s analysis found it to be an important factor influencing the response metric. The results are reported for both coarse and fine stressor levels, since two stressor categories (geomorphology and toxic contaminants) were subdivided into finer scale categories (habitat and sediment for geomorphology, and pesticides, mercury, metals, and other for toxic contaminants).

ESRI Binary 2-m Bathymetric Grid of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11995 in Rhode Island Sound (H11995_2M_UTM, UTM Xone 19, NAD83)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of Rhode Island Sound, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data collected in Rhode Island Sound. During June 2011, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of these areas. For more information on the ground-truth survey see &lt;http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2011-006-FA&gt;.
