Lagomorph Inventory at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve 2022 - Open Format Dataset

Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus type 2 (RHDV2) has caused dramatic declines in rabbits and hares on several continents. Recent mortalities have been reported for several rabbit and hare species in the United States, suggesting broad susceptibility of lagomorphs. If this susceptibility extends to the American pika (Ochotona princeps), the most cold-adapted lagomorph, it could compound climate-mediated threats to this species. Due to climate change, American pikas are predicted to experience significant upslope range retraction during this century. To address this concern, we investigated spatial patterns of habitat use by pikas and other lagomorphs in Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, which borders several counties that have reported RHDV2. In 2022, we surveyed 115 plots of pika habitats in the park, including 48 legacy plots from a pika survey conducted in 2010-2012. Our mean estimate of pika habitat occupancy was at least 95% during 2022 in GRSA, slightly higher than in 2010-2012. Leporid presence at these same plots was 48%. The best model of leporid presence supported a negative effect of elevation. Both models also included a positive effect of incoming solar radiation. Finally, we used our best models of pika habitat occupancy and leporid presence to map the potential for areas of contact and RHDV2 transmission between these taxa. Our results indicate some potential for contact within subalpine forests, specifically in the northern half of the park near the lower reach of the Sand Creek Trail and in the far south just north of California Peak.

Modeling Potential Changes in Seagrass Coverage, Biomass and Vulnerability Under Increased Temperature

Increased water temperature from global climate change may exacerbate existing stresses to eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows throughout the northeastern United States, possibly leading to declines in populations. In this study, we developed a data-driven model to estimate how seagrass distribution and abundance will likely change with expected temperature increases under climate-change scenarios and applied the model to Pleasant Bay, Massachusetts. Long-term seagrass and water quality monitoring data along with satellite temperature data were used to generate the spatial distribution of environmental drivers across the Bay. These data were then used in a 0-D point-model that incorporated both empirical and mechanistic relationships to predict future spatial seagrass distribution and abundance assuming increases of 1.2°C and 1.95°C by the year 2050. The model demonstrated decline in distribution and abundance with increasing temperature alongside estimated 49 to 93% reductions in biomass. There was a complete loss of regions able to sustain seagrass under the highest temperature scenario. Most of the predicted loss occurred along the shallow and deep edges of the meadows effectively squeezing eelgrass into a narrow depth range where both light and temperature conditions remain favorable for eelgrass growth. These results are intended to help inform the development of targeted conservation and management actions to address the region-wide downward trajectory and facilitate recovery.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park Fisheries Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) Surveys 2023

These data represent an assessment of Ichthyofaunal community structure in selected streams located in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM). Sites are sampled on a rotational basis once every two years. Currently (2023), 11 watersheds are sampled using IBI protocols. In 2023, five sites were surveyed in the following streams: Cataloochee Creek, Abrams Creek, Noland Creek, West Prong Little River and West Prong Little Pigeon River. Fish community assemblage assessments are made after collecting specimens using backpack electrofishing and seining techniques. An IBI is used to determine how many species of fish are represented in a stream segment by surveying various habitat types: riffles, runs, pools, and shoreline. Techniques for IBI sampling also use seining in conjunction with electrofishing for fish capture. The point of IBI sampling isn’t to remove all the fish present, but rather to determine the community assemblage, i.e., species diversity within the stream segment. The GRSM Fishery Division works in conjunction with aquatics biologists at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), who then provide “scores” regarding the species’ representation or robustness given the site criteria.  IBI scores and metrics are determined using the TVA IBI Stream Survey Recording System v2.02. Once data have been entered by GRSM staff in the TVA Stream Survey database, results are sent to TVA biologists, who then provide GRSM with the scores associated with the species observed. Scores for 2023 survey data were provided to GRSM by TVA on January 11, 2024.

Glacier Bay oceanography data quality evaluations (OC_M)

At the end of each survey year, a review is done to determine if post-season calibration data (OC_G) indicate that sensor drift over the cruise year is significant. The original log sheet images (OC_H) are also reviewed for annotations regarding data exceptions. The raw and processed vertical profile data plots are reviewed both separately and jointly for irregular instrument readings.

The Project Leader flags questionable and unusable casts for the year using the data quality report spreadsheets. Inoperable individual sensors encountered during a cast are also noted on the sheets. The Data Manager, after validating the spreadsheet forms, posts the forms to the web and then updates appropriate columns in the cumulative database (OC_D) to reflect quality levels of all observations.

Macroinvertebrate Inventory of High Elevation Springs in Shenandoah National Park 2023-2024 - Open Format Dataset

Shenandoah National Park contains hundreds of natural springs which help form the headwaters of three major watersheds that empty into Chesapeake Bay. Virginia Tech partnered with the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring program to sample macroinvertebrates and environmental measures related to water quality, habitat availability, and human use at 63 springs within the park, of which, 59 could were assessed and analyzed. The goals of this inventory were to assess the distributions of macroinvertebrates across springs in the park. Additionally, we sought to determine whether macroinvertebrate diversity and the presence of rare taxa have been impacted by modifications made to springs and/or by visitor use. We identified 205 unique taxa across the 59 springs. Of those taxa, we identified 17 rare taxa using NatureServe’s Conservation Status Rank. Rare taxa were present in 32 springs, 19 of which were modified and 13 were unmodified. Class Insecta represented 90% of rare taxa that were mostly in orders Trichoptera, Plecoptera, Ephemeroptera and Odonata. There was no difference in total taxa richness or abundance between the spring types. Richness and abundance for all taxa and for rare taxa were greater, on average, in modified springs; however, these differences were not statistically significant. The diversity of spring types, locations and habitats appear to support a diversity of species that are not being negatively affected by visitor usage or spring box infrastructure. The springs provide a regional species pool at high density that are likely source populations for the headwater streams.
