Multibeam bathymetry and sediment depth data at select locations on the Des Plaines River near Joliet, Illinois, February 13–14, 2017

These data are high-resolution bathymetry (river bottom elevation) in XYZ format, generated from the February 14, 2017, topographic and hydrographic survey of the Des Plaines River in an area centered approximately 250 feet upstream of Brandon Road Lock and Dam at Joliet, Illinois. Hydrographic data were collected using a multibeam echo-sounder (MBES) with integrated inertial navigation solution (INS) mounted on a marine survey vessel. Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along survey lines distributed throughout the area. Data collection software integrated and stored the depth data from the multibeam sonar and the horizontal and vertical position and attitude data of the vessel from the INS in real time. Data processing required computer software to extract bathymetry data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information.

Recent historical and projected (years 2006–99) areas (km2) of managed, flooded habitats used by waterbirds overwintering in Central Valley, California basins for 17 climate, urbanization, and water management scenarios.

The dataset summarizes areas of Central Valley waterbird habitats (i.e., wetland and cropland types) that are available for each of 17 projected scenarios by planning basin, scenario, habitat, and month (August – April of the following year). The dataset also includes relatively recent (year 2005) area of habitat (i.e., “existing_km2”) for comparison with habitat areas based on scenarios. In contrast with the dataset referenced as "Table A1", which solely includes the three managed, flooded cropland habitats, cropland habitats in this dataset are defined as winter-flooded rice, unplowed dry rice, winter-flooded corn, unplowed dry corn, and other winter-flooded cropland (in Tulare basin). Wetlands are defined as summer-irrigated seasonal wetland, seasonal wetland that is not summer irrigated, and semipermanent wetland (combines semipermanent and permanent wetland types). Also in contrast with the "Table A1" dataset, these data include habitat areas for each month of August– April, and for Suisun Basin in addition to the other eight basins defined in the Central Valley Joint Venture Implementation Plan (2006). Data on availability of waterbird habitats is summarized by planning basin, scenario, habitat, and month in 5 metrics (in addition to existing area): the least available area; areas available in ≥ 25%, ≥ 50%, and ≥ 75% of years; and maximum available area.

Bankfull channel transects, Lower Missouri River

Shapefile created by USGS. Channel transects were constructed to be used in evaluating channel widths and channel width variation. Transects were laid out at 0.1 mile intervals along the navigation channel thalweg. They extend perpendicular to thalweg and intersect the bankfull channel margin, delineated from low-altitude aerial orthophotos provided by the US Army Corps of Engineers, 11/1/2012  to 11/21/2012. The bankfull dimensions were digitized by hand. Each transect was additionally attributed with the USGS bend number, Pallid Sturgeon Population Assessment Program (PSPAP) segment number, and PSPAP bend number.

Geospatial data for object-based high-resolution classification of conifers within the geographic range of the Bi-State Distinct Population Segment of greater sage-grouse in California and Nevada

These products were developed to provide scientific and correspondingly spatially explicit information regarding the distribution and abundance of conifers (namely, singleleaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla), Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma), and western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis)) in Nevada and portions of northeastern California. Encroachment of these trees into sagebrush ecosystems of the Great Basin can present a threat to populations of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). These data provide land managers and other interested parties with a high-resolution representation of conifers within the geographic range of the Bi-State Distinct Population Segment of greater sage-grouse that can be used for a variety of management and research applications.
We mapped conifer trees at 1 x 1 meter resolution across the extent of all Nevada Department of Wildlife Bi-State Sage-grouse Population Management Units plus a 10 km buffer. Using 2010 and 2013 National Agriculture Imagery Program digital orthophoto quads (DOQQs) as our reference imagery, we applied object-based image analysis with Feature Analyst software (Overwatch, 2013) to classify conifer features across our study extent. This method relies on machine learning algorithms that extract features from imagery based on their spectral and spatial signatures. Conifers in 702 DOQQs were classified and outputs were then tested for errors of omission and commission using stratified random sampling. Results of the random sampling were used to populate a confusion matrix and calculate the overall map accuracy of 86.96 percent.  However, these data have yet to undergo final modifications to correct for hard seamline transitions or serious errors of omission/commission.
We provide 4 sets of products for this mapping process across the entire mapping extent: (1) a shapefile representing accuracy results linked to our mapping subunits; (2) binary rasters representing conifer presence or absence at a 1 x 1 meter resolution; (3) a 30 x 30 meter resolution raster representing percentage of conifer canopy cover within each cell from 0 to 100; and (4) 1 x 1 meter resolution canopy cover classification rasters derived from a 50 meter radius moving window analysis. The latter two products can be reclassified into user-specified bins to meet different management or study objectives, which include approximations for phases of encroachment. These products complement, and in some cases improve upon, existing conifer maps in the western United States, and will help facilitate sage-grouse habitat management and sagebrush ecosystem restoration.

Soil properties and greenhouse gas fluxes of Prairie Pothole Region wetlands: a comprehensive data release

This data release encompass numerous studies examining soil properties and greenhouse gas fluxes of Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) wetland catchments. The PPR is one of the largest wetland ecosystems in the world, encompassing approximately 770,000 square kilometers of the north-central U.S. and south-central Canada, with the U.S. portion including parts of Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Montana. The data included in this release span a 19-year period (1997–2016) and represent a diversity of studies ranging from localized (e.g., wetland catchments and complexes) to region-wide efforts that span the PPR’s climate and land-use gradient. Data from individual wetland catchments encompass a variety of wetland classes ranging from small, ephemerally-ponded wetlands to large, shallow lakes.
Although study designs and methodologies differ slightly among the studies, the overarching methods are comparable and allow the data to be combined into a single data release. The data release consists of combined datasets (i.e., all studies) for soils, greenhouse gases, topography, water chemistry, weather, and covariate or explanatory variables such as water depth, soil moisture, and temperature. A majority of the studies also present data from the entire wetland catchment, with data collected from numerous landscape positions along transects spanning from the wetland center to the catchment boundary. Sample frequency among the studies ranges from a single site visit per year, to season-long, biweekly sample events across multiple years.

Asian Carp Acoustic Stimuli Data

Invasive silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) occur in large regions of the Mississippi River drainage, outcompete native species, and are notorious for their prolific jumping behavior. Juvenile and adult (up to 25 kg) carp are known to jump up to 3 m above the water surface in response to moving watercraft. Broadband sound recorded from an outboard motor (100 hp at 32 km/hr) can modulate their behavior in captivity; however, the response of wild silver carp to broadband sound has yet to be determined. This data set includes information regarding the sound produced by outboard motor and speakers in the field and will help in determining effectiveness of the usage of control techniques in the management of carps.

Groundwater arsenic data and ASCII grids for predicting elevated arsenic in northwestern and central Minnesota using boosted regression tree methods

This data release contains: (1) ASCII grids of predicted probability of elevated arsenic in groundwater for the Northwest and Central Minnesota regions, (2) input arsenic and predictive variable data used in model development and calculation of predictions, and (3) ASCII files used to predict the probability of elevated arsenic across the two study regions. The probability of elevated arsenic was predicted using Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) modeling methods using the gbm package in R Studio version 3.4.2. The response variable was the presence or absence of arsenic &gt;10 µg/L, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s maximum contaminant level for arsenic, in 3,283 wells located throughout both study regions (1,363 in the Northwest region and 1,920 in the Central). The original database used to develop the BRT model consisted of 127 predictor variables which included well characteristics, land use, soil properties, aquifer properties, depth to water table, and predicted nitrate. After optimization steps, a final database of 33 predictor variables was used to predict the occurrence of elevated arsenic across the two study regions.

Historical Time-series Classification of Habitat for 1957, 1980 and 2015 in the Nisqually River Delta, Washington

We produced time-series classifications of habitat, photosynthetic pathway functional types and species in the Nisqually River Delta for the years 1957, 1980, and 2015. Using an object-oriented approach in eCognition 9 software, we performed a hierarchical classification on historical and current imagery to identify change within the watershed and wetland ecosystems.  Imagery used to created these maps included panchromatic aerial photographs from 1957, a 3-band color infrared aerial photograph from 1980, and for the 2015 classification we used an 8-band multispectral satellite image and a 4-band color infrared image from 2014. Data pre-processing included image georeferencing, atmospheric correction, and image mosaicking. For all classifications, our rule-set approach utilized hierarchical processing that alternated between image segmentation and threshold-based classification. Image segmentation was performed using the multi-resolution segmentation tool which uses weighted spectral, brightness, and textural features to create image objects. Scale parameters were determined through trial and error to find appropriate object sizes based on hierarchical level and class type. Habitat maps were created for each time period, while dominant species and photosynthetic functional type maps were limited to the 1980 and 2015 years due to insufficient spectral information. Dominant species classes for 1980 were based on a plant associations in a 1975 vegetation map by Burg et al. 1980, while the 2015 species classes were determined by 2015 species field observations. For the photosynthetic functional type classes, salt grass was assign to the C4 class, while other emergent marsh species were C3. Change maps were made between each time period to quantify change for emergent marsh vegetation, forest, and photosynthetic functional types.
