Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to the supply and demand of ecosystem goods and services that maintain human well-being. A recent review found that the impacts of climate change on ecosystem services are sometimes mixed, posing challenges for managers who need to adapt to these changes. We expand on earlier work by exploring drivers of varying responses of...

This is an update to a previously archived data set, which is available at https://doi.org/10.13020/4zwr-t415. Here, additional sites for 2021, and additional data for 2022 and 2023 are given. There will be no further updates. 570 station occupations occurred along Lake Superior’s southwest shoreline where data were collected from Lake Superior and its watershed in the region generally...

This data release contains a CSV dataset of the likelihood of sapling recruitment based on abundance of seedlings height classes and other stand and site-level factors. Maps accompany the CSV on how the relationship between temperature and relative survival and seedling/sapling abundance varies by size class for ten tree species in the northeastern and midwestern USA, and can be used to...

This data release contains the two intermediary variables (processed lake temperature prediction feather files and bioenergetic metrics CSV), model code in R script used to produce the outputs, and bioenergetics model prediction feather files for a set of fish bioenergetics models under current and future temperature conditions at 337 large lakes.

The Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI) uses a scoring system that integrates a species’ exposure to projected climate change within an assessment area, including sea level rise, and three sets of factors associated with climate change sensitivity, each supported by published studies: 1) species-specific sensitivity and adaptive capacity factors, 2) threat multipliers such as...

The datasets presented here include the Climate Priming Index, degree-day, and seasonal precipitation data used as inputs to the index for the state of Alaska. The data is presented for two time periods: a historic period from 1901-2020, and a projected period from 2000-2100 using 3 climate scenarios. The climate priming index was developed to identify years where the climatic conditions...

We estimated the effect of microhabitat and microclimatic factors on occupancy, abundance and reproduction of four species of Eleutherodactylus frogs (E. wightmanae, E. brittoni, E. antillensis, E. coqui). Data consist of presence-non/presence data (binary), and physical (abiotic) and habitat (biotic) covariates collected at each of 48 survey stations (2017) and 35 (2018) along two...

We modeled the distribution and thermal and hydrologic stability of cliff-face seeps across moist portions of the Pacific Northwest, USA. We conducted surveys for cliff-face seeps across ~1,600km of roads, trails, and watercourses in Washington and Idaho and monitored water availability and air and water temperatures at a subset of these seeps. We detected 457 total seeps through an...

Species are expected to shift their distributions to higher latitudes, greater elevations, and deeper depths in response to climate change, reflecting an underlying hypothesis that species will move to cooler locations. However, species response to climate change is poorly understood and species range shifts may be related to climate change exposure. This project was designed to find...

Climate change is a primary threat to biodiversity, but for most species, we still lack information required to assess their potential vulnerability to changes. Climate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) is a widely-used technique to rank relative vulnerability to climate change based on species distributions, habitat associations, environmental tolerances, and life-history traits...

Statistical downscaling methodology was applied to global atmosphere reanalysis, using a 10 year dynamical modeled output as training data, to extend a record of wind and humidity back through the satellite era beginning 1979 or 1980. To extend the record of weather to cover a longer period and thus a greater number of significant fire weather events, statistical downscaling was...

Coastal marshes across the Northern Gulf of Mexico are critical ecosystems, providing wildlife habitat, nursery for many species of fish, a carbon sink, and protection of communities from storm surge, but are vulnerable to coastal hazards, such as wave attack, sea level rise, and subsidence. While many marshes accrete vertically to compensate for rising sea level, marsh loss can occur...
