Ciénegas are freshwater to brackish wetlands in arid and semi-arid regions of North America, although they are primarily found in the southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico at elevations usually below 2000 meters. They are associated with groundwater or actively moving fresh water that historically resulted in perennial surface waters persisting for decades to centuries. The extent of...

Watershed pairing is an approach used to assess effects of restoration on a landscape by comparing conditions across a treatment watershed and a control watershed, and then quantifying the differences. When the watersheds are statistically paired, the control watershed can serve as a baseline of conditions compared to the treatment watershed. We apply a watershed pairing analysis across...

This data release supports the publication: "Linking Fire Radiative Power to land cover, fire history, and environmental setting in Alaska, 2003 - 2022". The *.csv file contains data associated with fire radiative power (FRP) observations derived from 1-km MODIS data over Alaska from 2003 to 2022. The file allows users to replicate the statistical analysis of FRP values with vegetation...

Here we provide Germany’s Deutsches Zentrum fu¨r Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS) and Italy’s ASI’s PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa (PRISMA) Derived Spectral Library of Agricultural Crops for California. It was developed using DESIS and PRISMA hyperspectral data acquired in August 2021 near Fresno, CA. The 4-bin DESIS image has 60...

This data release contains mapped UAS products and a spreadsheet of field plot observations for the paper: Havrilla, C.A. and M.L. Villarreal. 2024. Soil cover heterogeneity associated with biocrusts predicts patch-level plant diversity patterns. Landscape Ecology. Specifically the zipped folder contains a CSV of field data, classified Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) imagery for 3 study...

This dataset includes eighteen years of emissions and sequestration estimates (2005-2022) in two separate tables. Table 1 includes the greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion and extraction of fossil fuels on Federal mineral lands. Table 2 is the emissions and sequestration from ecosystem processes on Federal surface lands. The fossil fuel related estimates include the greenhouse...

Species distribution models (SDMs) can be an important tool in rare species conservation. Specifically, SDMs have been used to location previously unknown populations and identify sites for reintroduction or translocation. With these goals in mind, we applied SDM to a recently listed plant species, Pectis imberbis, which is found in the Madrean Archipelago region of southern Arizona, USA...

This dataset consists of annual raster maps of ecosystem carbon stocks, land use and land cover classes, and transition probabilities for the State of California during historical (1985-2020) and projected future (2021-2100) time periods. Data are simulation model output from the The Land Use and Carbon Simulator (LUCAS; Sleeter et al. 2022) run under different climate and land...

This landuse / landcover (LULC) map displays a basic depiction of the Los Planes watershed in Baja California Sur, Mexico. This simplified, 7-class LULC map displays classes that are useful for hydrologic modeling and broad vegetation mapping in the region. It was created from analysis of six Sentinel-2 satellite images and other existing geospatial datasets. These satellite images are...

Microbial biofilm communities are composed of fungi, bacteria, and phytoplankton taxonomic groups (e.g., cyanobacteria, diatoms, and chlorophytes), which inhabit the surface of intertidal mudflats. Such biofilms have critical roles in shorebird diets, mudflat stabilization, primary productivity, and carbon storage. These raster datasets represent the presence, nutritional quality...

This dataset is support materials for the publication "Crop type classification, trends, and patterns of central California agricultural fields from 2005 – 2020". This data release is comprised of two child datasets. The first dataset, 'Labeled_CropType_Points', is a shapefile that consists of randomly selected point locations in which crop types were verified using high resolution...

Estimates of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) are valuable for effective monitoring and management of water resources. In areas that lack a ground-based monitoring network, remote sensing allows for accurate and consistent estimates of ETa across a large spatial extent – though each algorithm has limitations (i.e., ground-based validation, temporal consistency, spatial resolution). We...
