Air and stream temperature and pressure for HJ Andrews Experimental Forest, Western Oregon, 2020

This dataset includes temperature and pressure data from 26 sites in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest in western Oregon. Stream and Air data loggers were deployed in June of 2020 and downloaded in October 2020. The HJ_Andrews_Temperature file contains temperature data (in C) by logger serial number, site, and usage for the study period. The HJ_Andrews_Pressure file contains pressure data (in kPa

Spatial and temporal variability of summer water temperature at cool-water areas in the Pend Oreille River, Washington (ver. 2.0, March 2024)

Water temperature data were collected in summer 2021 and 2023 at the confluences of Indian Creek and Duncan Springs in the Pend Oreille River. Continuously recording temperature loggers were deployed near the substratum and near the surface of the water column.

Lead (Pb) in Bald and Golden Eagles from 38 United States, USA, 2010-2018

We evaluated lead poisoning in bald and golden eagles during all seasons of the year and from states in each of the four major flyways throughout the continental USA.

Pre and post treatment (2016-2021) vegetation cover for three southwest Idaho sites treated with pre-emergent herbicides after fire

Selective herbicide application is a common restoration strategy to control exotic invaders that interfere with native plant recovery after wildfire. Whether spraying with preemergent or bioherbicides releases native plants from competition with exotics ("spray-and-release" strategy) and can make communities resistant to re-invasion by exotic annual grasses (e.g., cheatgrass, medusahead), without

Long-distance movements of non-migratory golden eagles in western North America, 2007-2017

We studied >500 golden eagles tracked by telemetry over a 10-year period in western North America, of which 160 engaged in non-routine, long-distance (> 300 km) movements. We identified spatial and temporal correlates of those movements at both small and large scales, and we quantified movement timing and direction. We further tested which age and sex classes of eagles were more likely to engage i

Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa) observations in Oregon (ver. 5.0, January 2023)

This dataset contains information from surveys conducted 2016-2022 by USGS as part of an ongoing Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa) monitoring effort in Oregon. USGS research activities 2016-2022 were divided into seven study design categories: breeding (egg mass counts), mid-level (visual encounter surveys for occupancy monitoring), apex (mark-recapture), telemetry, trapping, water quality (skin

Post-fire habitat associations of greater sage-grouse in Idaho and Oregon, 2016-2018

We investigated habitat selection by 28 male greater sage-grouse during each of three years (2016-2018) after a 113,000-ha wildfire in a sagebrush steppe ecosystem in Idaho and Oregon. During the study period, seeding and herbicide treatments were applied for habitat restoration. This dataset includes pre-fire land cover, post-fire vegetation, and post-fire treatment data within 500-m buffers of s

Annotated bibliography of grazing effects on amphibians and their habitats (ver. 2.0, February 2022)

This database contains literature citations and associated summaries pertaining to livestock grazing effects on amphibians and their habitats, with an emphasis on the Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa) and other listed/sensitive wetland-breeding amphibians in the western United States. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, nor did we perform a systematic meta-analysis; rather, literature re

Combined wildland fire datasets for the United States and certain territories, 1800s-Present

First, we would like to thank the wildland fire advisory group. Their wisdom and guidance helped us build the dataset as it currently exists. This dataset is comprised of two different zip files. Zip File 1: The data within this zip file are composed of two wildland fire datasets. (1) A merged dataset consisting of 40 different wildfire and prescribed fire layers. The original 40 layers were all f

Data derived from GPS tracking of free-flying bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), Iowa, USA

Comma-separated values (.csv) file containing data (and derived data) from GPS tracking of free-flying bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), Iowa, USA. NOTE: Data file does not load properly in Microsoft Excel due to the size of data file (2,093,022 rows x 15 columns) that far exceeds Excel's maximum of 1,048,576 rows. Use other program(s) like R or Notepad to view the file.

Stream Temperature in the Donner und Blitzen basin, Southeastern Oregon, 2018-2021

This dataset includes stream temperature data from 34 sites in the Donner und Blitzen basin of SE Oregon. Data loggers were deployed in September of 2018 and downloaded each subsequent summer/fall through 2021. The EcoDrought_Temperature file contains temperature data (in degrees Celsius) by logger serial number and site for the study period. The EcoDrought_Points spatial data layer contains site

Stream Temperature in the Northern Great Basin region of Southeastern Oregon, 2016-2021

This dataset includes hourly stream and air temperature data from 124 sites throughout the Northern Great Basin region of SE Oregon. Data loggers were deployed June through September of 2016 and downloaded each subsequent summer through 2021. The SE_OR_Stream_Temps and SE_OR_Air_Temps files contain temperature data (in degrees Celsius) by logger serial number and site for the study period. The SE_
