This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for Sargassum in Louisiana. Vector polygons in this data set represent areas of known Sargassum aggregation. Species specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Louisiana. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the BENTHIC data layer, part of the larger Louisiana ESI database, for additional habitat information.

Wetlands Ecological Integrity Depth to Water Logger data from 2009-2019 at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. This includes Raw dataset (primarily hourly), daily summaries, weekly summaries, and monthly summaries. Included in the data package are exploratory data analysis figures at the daily, weekly and monthly time steps. Lastly included is the R code used to extract the depth to water logger data from the National Park Service Aquarius data system, and to create the exploratory data analysis figures.

This dataset is the result of a collaboration between the US Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center and the Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Monitoring Program (CWMP). It contains information on habitat structure, water quality, vegetation, fish, and fish prey in Great Lakes coastal wetlands in the spring and fall from 2016 to 2018. The methods and resulting data mirror the CWMP's standard coastal wetland assessments.

Wadeable stream habitat data from four long-term monitoring programs (AIM, AREMP, NRSA, PIBO MP) were obtained, pre-processed, transformed, and combined using R code following the Stream Habitat Metrics Integration (SHMI) Data Exchange Standard (Scully et al., 2023b). The dataset includes 26 stream habitat metrics collected between 2000 and 2022 across the United States at ~12,000 locations from ~19,000 data collection events for a total of ~200,000 measurements. Measurements include reach characteristics (sampled reach length, channel gradient, sinuosity), channel dimensions (bankfull width and height, average bankfull width to depth ratio, mean thalweg depth, average wetted width), channel substrate particle sizes (percent fines, percent bedrock, fine sediment percentiles), pools (residual pool depth, pool tail fines), bank characterizations (angle), and water quality/chemistry (specific conductance, pH, specific conductance, turbidity, total nitrogen, total phosphorous). The dataset consists of 4 csv files: 'RecordLevel.csv', 'Location.csv', 'Event.csv', and 'MeasurementOrFact.csv'. The 4 csv data tables may be linked in a database structure using the 'entity relationship diagram.jpg' or by linking the following: Join RecordLevel primary key 'datasetID' to Location foreign key 'datasetID'. Join Location primary key 'locationID to Event foreign key 'locationID'. Join Event primary key 'eventID' to MeasurementOrFact foreign key 'eventID'. An analysis-ready file ('AnalysisStreamHabitatMonitoringMetricDataset.csv') is also published for user convenience.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) program, through its Long Term Resource Monitoring (LTRM) element, collected aerial imagery of the systemic Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) during the summer of 2020. A Land Cover/Land Use (LCU) spatial database was developed based on the 2020 aerial imagery, which adds a fourth systemic-wide database to the existing 1989, 2000, and 2010/11 LCU databases. These data have been used to create a variety of products, one of which is a data set used to classify aquatic areas. The 2020 aquatic areas data sets were created by first generalizing the available land cover/use data into a land/water data set, then reinterpreting the areas classified as water to determine the type of aquatic area. Area coverage for this data set is the Upper Mississippi River between Minneapolis, MN and Cairo, IL, and the Illinois River from its confluence with the Mississippi to Joliet, IL.
