Historical Stream Fish Distribution Database for the Conterminous United States (1950-1990): IchthyMaps

Fish occurrence data to support high-resolution distribution models and test various community and macroecological hypotheses have not been available at the national scale. We present IchthyMaps, a database of high-quality historical fish occurrences covering fishes of the conterminous United States. Designed on the principles of metacommunity ecology, IchthyMaps is a compilation of presence records from atlases up to 1990, at the resolution of the 1:100,000 National Hydrography Database Plus (NHDPlus) inter-confluence stream segment, readily aggregated into hierarchically coarser units (e.g. hydrologic unit code 8-digit and 12-digit watersheds). IchthyMaps contains about 606,550 presence records for 1,038 species and subspecies. These presence records occurred on 224,305 NHDPlus interconfluence stream segments, representing > 10% average sampling intensity. IchthyMaps is publicly accessible through USGS' ScienceBase infrastructure. It offers unprecedented opportunities for both basic and applied research and conservation initiatives in areas such as studying biogeography, gap analysis, and assessments of impacts of land use, species invasions, and climate change. More generally, this database broadens our capability to conduct research on fish ecology, biogeography, and management.

Standard Deviation of the bathymetric DEM of the Sacramento River, from the Feather River to Knights Landing, California in February 2011

This part of the data release contains a grid of standard deviations of bathymetric soundings within each 0.5 m x 0.5 m grid cell. The bathymetry was collected on February 1, 2011, in the Sacramento River from the confluence of the Feather River to Knights Landing. The standard deviations represent one component of bathymetric uncertainty in the final digital elevation model (DEM), which is also available in this data release. The bathymetry data were collected by the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) team with collaboration and funding from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This project used interferometric sidescan sonar to characterize the riverbed and channel banks along a 12 mile reach of the Sacramento River near the town of Knights Landing, California (River Mile 79 through River Mile 91) to aid in the understanding of fish response to the creation of safe habitat associated with levee restoration efforts in two 1.5 mile reaches of the Sacramento River between River Mile 80 and 86.

SECRU1M.TIF - Southeast Santa Cruz sidescan sonar backscatter image in nearshore Benthic Habitat mapping Project S. California map Series. (UTM 10N, NAD83)

The sidescan sonar image of the nearshore seafloor (0 to 100 m water depths) of the Southeast Santa Cruz area was mosaicked from data collected in 1999. A Klein 2000 sidescan system was used for geophysical surveying. A Triton Elics Isis brand side-scan data recording system was used on the cruise. The 1998 survey was navigated with a Leica Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) which provided a ship position with accuracy of 1-5 m in DGPS mode. At times during the cruise differential signal was interrupted. In non-differential mode, the receiver provided a position with 30-50 m accuracy. A KVH Industries Inc. azimuth digital gyro-compass provided ship headings with 0.5 degree accuracy. Navigation data were recorded using Yo-Nav (Gann, 1992). The sidescan fish was towed approximately 30 m above the seafloor. The distance of the fish behind the ship was not known during this survey and must be estimated when the data are processed in order to produce the sidescan image mosaics. The resolution of the processed data mosaics is 0.2 m. The data are presented here at a resolution of 1 m. This is one of a collection of digital files of a geographic information system of spatially referenced data related to the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program Nearshore Benthic Habitat Mapping Project. The sidescan data were processed using USGS MIPS sonar processing software (Chavez, 1984). See <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/nearshorehab> for more information about this data set.

National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) 2010 HCI Scores and Human Disturbance Data for Conterminous United States linked to NHDPLUSV1

This geodatabase contains landscape factors representing human disturbances summarized to local and network catchments of river reaches throughout the conterminous U.S. They include land uses, population density, roads, dams, mines, and point-source pollution sites. The source datasets that were compiled and attributed to catchments were identified as being: (1) meaningful for assessing fish habitat; (2) consistent across the entire study area in the way that they were assembled; (3) representative of conditions in the past 10 years, and (4) of sufficient spatial resolution that they could be used to make valid comparisons among local catchment units. In this data set, these variables are linked to the catchments of the National Hydrography Dataset Plus Version 1 (NHDPlusV1) using the COMID identifier. They can also be linked to the reaches of the NHDPlusV1 using the COMID identifier. Catchment attributes are available for both local catchments (defined as the land area draining directly to a reach; attributes begin with "L_" prefix) and network catchments (defined by all upstream contributing catchments to the reach's outlet, including the reach's own local catchment; attributes begin with "N_" prefix). This geodatabase also includes habitat condition scores created based on responsiveness of biological metrics to anthropogenic landscape disturbances throughout ecoregions. Separate scores were created by considering disturbances within local catchments, network catchments, and a cumulative score that accounted for the most limiting disturbance operating on a given biological metric in either local or network catchments. This assessment only scored reaches representing streams and rivers (see the process section for more details).

National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) 2010 HCI Scores - by HUC12

This shapefile contains summaries of habitat condition indices (HCI scores) from the National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) 2010 National Assessments for 12 digit Hydrological Unit Codes (HUC12s) of the United States. Initial HCI scores were developed in three separate assessments (Conterminous U.S., Hawaii, and Alaska) due to differences in data availability across these regions. In the NFHAP 2010 Alaska assesment HCI values were already attributed to HUC12s. For this reason values for Alaska in this shapefile are identical to those represented in the Alaska assessment. To summarize data into HUC12s for the Conterminous United States and Hawaii a length-weighted average was used (i.e. the cumulative HCI score assigned to each river reach within a HUC was weighted by reach length using the formula (H1*L1+H2*L2...+HX*LX)/(L1+L2...+LX) where H = reach HCI score and L = reach length). Although data from all three assessments are summarized to HUC12s in this shapefile, it is important that values are not compared across assessment regions. More information on the three assessments can be found at the following links: Conterminous United States (http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.5066/F7B56GN1) ; Alaska (http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.5066/F7KD1VWD); Hawaii (http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.5066/F7V9863B).

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.

Matchett and Fleskes (2018) evaluated availability of wetland and agricultural habitats used by waterbirds overwintering in the Central Valley of California under 17 scenarios of projected climate, urbanization, and water supply management (for more information about scenarios see scenario description and Table 1 in Matchett and Fleskes [2018]). Central Valley waterbird habitats investigated in this research included managed flooded wetlands and croplands and dry cropland habitats. Flooded cropland habitats are defined as winter-flooded rice, winter-flooded corn, and other winter-flooded cropland (in Tulare basin). Flooded wetlands are defined as summer-irrigated seasonal wetland, seasonal wetland that is not summer irrigated, and semi-permanent wetland (combines semipermanent and permanent wetland types). Dry cropland habitats include unplowed dry corn and unplowed dry rice fields. Two datasets documented herein accompany Matchett and Fleskes (2018), and for each of the 17 scenarios, these datasets summarize available area (km2) of each habitat during August–April (of the following year). The first of these datasets, “Table A1” (also referenced as Table A1 in Matchett and Fleskes [2018]), corresponds with areas of available habitat in Figures 2–4 of Matchett and Fleskes (2018). Table A1 summarizes available area (km2) of each flooded habitat by planning basin and scenario when available habitat area is typically highest during the wintering period. The second dataset, “Table A2” (also Table A2 in Matchett and Fleskes [2018]), corresponds with areas of available habitat in Figure S1 of Matchett and Fleskes (2018), and summarizes areas of each flooded and dry waterbird habitat by planning basin, scenario, and month during the wintering period. These data support the following publication: Matchett EL, Fleskes JP. 2018. Waterbird habitat in California’s Central Valley basins under climate, urbanization, and water management scenarios.

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 accompanies Figures 2–4 of Matchett and Fleskes (2018) and therein the subject data are referenced as "Table A1". Data summarize peak abundance (km2) of Central Valley waterbird habitats (i.e., wetland and flooded cropland types) that are available between August and April (of the following year) for each of 17 projected scenarios by planning basin, scenario, and habitat. Area of each habitat for each scenario-basin combination is provided for the month when the most area of the respective habitat is typically flooded and available for waterbird use (i.e., January for all wetlands and winter-flooded rice and corn, and September for other winter-flooded crops in Tulare Basin). The dataset also includes relatively recent (year 2005) area of habitat (i.e., “existing_km2”) for comparison with habitat areas based on scenarios. Flooded cropland habitats are defined as winter-flooded rice, winter-flooded 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). This dataset includes results for eight of nine basins defined by the Central Valley Joint Venture in the Central Valley Joint Venture Implementation Plan (2006); subject basins are the Colusa, Butte, Sutter, American, Yolo, Delta, San Joaquin, and Tulare Basins (Suisun Basin excluded). Data on availability of waterbird habitats is summarized by planning basin, scenario, habitat, and month in 5 metrics (in addition to recent historical area): the least available area; areas available in ≥ 25%, ≥ 50%, and ≥ 75% of years; and maximum available area. These data support the following publication: Matchett EL, Fleskes JP. 2018. Waterbird habitat in California’s Central Valley basins under climate, urbanization, and water management scenarios.
