Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Monitoring Project (2014 - 2024)

This volume's release consists of 90364 media files captured by autonomous wildlife monitoring devices under the project, Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Monitoring Project.  The attached files listed below include several CSV files that provide information about the data release.   The file, "media.csv" provides the metadata about the media, such as filename and date/time of capture.   The actual media files are housed within folders under the volume's "child items" as compressed files.   A critical CSV file is "dictionary.csv", which describes  each  CSV file, including field names, data types, descriptions, and the relationship of each field to fields in other CSV files.    Some of the media files may have been "tagged" or "annotated" by either humans or by machine learning models,  identifying wildlife targets within the media.  If so, this information is stored in  "annotations.csv" and "modeloutputs.csv", respectively.   To protect privacy, all personally identifiable information (PII) have been removed, locations have been "blurred" by bounding boxes, and media featuring sensitive taxa or humans have been omitted.   To enhance data reuse, the sbRehydrate() function in the AMMonitor R package will download files and re-create the original AMMonitor project (database + media files).

DRAFT: Supplementary Data Release for Framework for Mapping Liquefaction Hazard-Targeted Design Ground Motions

These data are supplementary to the journal article Makdisi, A.J., Kramer, S.L. (In-Review). Framework for Mapping Liquefaction Hazard-Targeted Design Ground Motions (doi to be updated on full publication). This dataset includes tabular data summarizing mean and standard deviation liquefaction factor of safety (FSL) ratios, effective FSL return periods, and example reference liquefaction-targeted design peak ground acceleration parameters (PGAL) for 96 geographic locations throughout the conterminous United States. These data were used to generate Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 7, and Table 2 and Table 5 in the article. 
Notes:
- Procedures for calculating PGAL and FSL are detailed in Section 4.1 (Equations 2 and 3 and Figure 6) of the corresponding journal article.
- Mean magnitude Mw was calculated using the procedures outlined in the Appendix (Equation A.4a and A.4b) of the corresponding journal article.
- Blank entries in the "SummaryData_Tr*.csv" files should be interpreted as NaN, and correspond to study locations where the computed liquefaction factors of safety (FSL) were above 3.0 for all soil conditions considered (i.e., liquefaction hazard was considered sufficiently low at these sites)

Aquifer framework datasets used to represent the Southern Nevada volcanic-rock aquifers, Nevada

The Southern Nevada volcanic-rock aquifers reside in southern-central Nevada. This group of aquifers can be categorized into welded tuff, bedded tuff, and lava flow aquifers. Each of these categories possess different physical characteristics and have varying degrees of welding and number of interconnected joints. The lithology of these aquifers is primarily dependent on mode of eruption and cooling and are highly variable. Because the lithology is so variable, so is groundwater transmission, storage, and yield (HA 730-B).
This product provides source data for the Southern Nevada volcanic-rock aquifers framework, including: 
Extent shapefiles: 
1.	p_57SRNVDV.shp: Polygon shapefile containing the areal extent of the Southern Nevada volcanic-rock aquifers (SRNVDV_AqExtent). The extent file contains no aquifer subunits.

Dedicated Dredging on the Barataria Basin Landbridge (BA-36): 2018 land-water classification

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs for the Dedicated Dredging on the Barataria Basin Landbridge (BA-36) project for 2018. This data is used as a basemap land-water classification. It also serves as a visual tool for project managers to help them identify any obvious problems or land loss within their project boundary. To better evaluate the effectiveness of restoration efforts, a land-water classification is performed on specific CWPPRA sites to help assess landscape changes.

Detecting trajectories of regime shifts and loss of resilience in coastal wetlands using remote sensing

Raster data shows landscape scale trajectories of change as four potential scenarios based on Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) trends and standard deviation trends using full time series (Scenarios_All_FULL_TS.tif) as well as time series up to LandTrendr breakpoint if detected (Scenarios_All_LT_TS.tif). Time series analysis for trend use Landsat surface reflectance imagery from 1985 to 2021. Scenarios: 1) Abrupt Transition – ecosystem is unstable and transitioning to alternate state (regime shift, exhibiting EWS); 2) Slowly Transitioning – ecosystem is transitioning slowly to alternate state (no EWS detected); 3) Recovering ecosystem – ecosystem is unstable but also becoming re-vegetated over the years; 4) Stable – becoming “greener” and more stable over time.

Piping plover adult breeding dispersal and annual survival in the northern Great Plains, USA, 2014 - 2019

We present a tabular data set representing values used to evaluate intrinsic factors of breeding dispersal and annual survival for northern Great Plains piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) from 2014 – 2019. Data was collected on wetlands and on the Missouri River in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana. Data includes breeding state specific observations of adults. The associated manuscript uses a Bayesian capture-mark-resight approach to evaluate breeding dispersal at two spatial scales. In this approach, breeding locations were states and individuals could be seen in assumed, known, or unknown states. Included in the dataset are eight covariates of intrinsic factors and conspecifics, as well as the two capture histories used in the analyses. Data collected was the result of intensive nest monitoring and observations of individuals.

Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network 1985-2023: Short- and long-term trends

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring (RIM) Network stations for the period 1985 through 2023. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season). The load results represent the total mass of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment that was exported from each of the RIM watersheds. To determine the trend in loads, the regular annual load (non-Kalman) results are flow normalized to integrate out the year-to-year variability in river discharge. The trend in load is derived from the flow-normalized load timeseries and represents the change in load resulting from changes in sources, delays associated with storage or transport of historical inputs, and (or) implemented management actions.

Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network 1985-2023: Average annual yields

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring (RIM) Network stations for the period 1985 through 2023. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season). Yields (representing the mass of constituent transported from a unit area of a given watershed) are used to compare the export loads from one basin to another. Yield results are obtained by dividing the annual load (pounds) of a given constituent by the respective watershed area (acres) from which the constituent was transported. Yield results presented represent the average annual per-acre loads of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment exported from each of the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring stations for two possible time periods: 2014-2023 (10 year average yield) and 2019-2023 (5 year average yield).

Early Estimates of Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) in the Sagebrush Biome, USA, 2024 (ver. 3.0, May 2024)

These datasets provide early estimates of 2024 fractional cover for exotic annual grass (EAG) species and one native perennial grass species on a weekly basis from April to late June. Typically, the EAG estimates are publicly released within 7-13 days of the latest satellite observation used for that version. Each weekly release contains five fractional cover maps along with their corresponding confidence maps for: 1) a group of 16 species of EAGs, 2) cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum); 3) Field Brome (Bromus arvensis); 4) medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae); and 5) Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda). These datasets were generated leveraging field observations from Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) data plots; Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) based Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI); other relevant environmental, vegetation, remotely sensed, and geophysical drivers; and artificial intelligence/machine learning techniques. A total of 38,242 AIM plots from years 2016–2023 were used to train an ensemble of five-fold regression-tree models using a cross-validation approach (each observation was used as test data once and as training data four times) that developed all the fractional cover maps. The geographic coverage includes arid and semi-arid rangelands in the western U.S classified as shrubs or grassland/herbaceous by the 2021 National Land Cover Database at or below 2350-m elevation.

Northeast Sleeper Species Database (ver. 2.0, May 2024)

Sleeper populations are established populations of introduced species whose population growth is limited by one or more abiotic or biotic conditions. Sleeper populations pose an invasion risk if a change in those limiting conditions, such as climate change, enables population growth and invasion. With thousands of established species, it is critical that we identify and prioritize potential sleepers. Here, we identified non-native plants established in the northeastern United States with high impacts and the potential to expand with climate change. We focused on 118 taxa regulated by one or more state outside the Northeast plus 61 taxa recorded as invasive globally and under consideration for regulation in the Northeast. We identified 49 plants with ecological impacts linked to loss of native diversity and 94 plants with socioeconomic impacts. 81 species showed an increase in climatic suitability for abundant populations with climate change. This approach can inform climate-smart, proactive management of sleeper populations before they become invasive.

Linear Ditches of Northeastern U.S. Coastal Marshes from Maine to Virginia Derived from 2023 2D Aerial Imagery Basemap

Salt marshes of the Northeastern United States (Maine to Virginia) are vulnerable to loss given their history of intensive human alteration. One direct human modification – ditching – was common across the Northeast for salt hay farming since European Colonization and for mosquito control in the first half of the 20th century. We hand-digitized linear ditches across Northeastern intertidal emergent wetlands from contemporary aerial imagery within the bounds of the National Wetland Inventory's Estuarine Intertidal Emergent Wetland areas.
