This EnviroAtlas dataset contains the results of a cluster analysis of ecological integrity indices for stream confluences. Stream confluences are important components of fluvial networks. Hydraulic forces meeting at stream confluences often produce changes in streambed morphology and sediment distribution, and these changes often increase habitat heterogeneity relative to upstream and downstream locations. Increases in habitat heterogeneity at stream confluences have led some to identify them as biological hotspots. Despite their potential ecological importance, there are relatively few empirical studies documenting ecological patterns across the upstream-confluence-downstream gradient. To facilitate more studies of the ecological value and role of stream confluences in fluvial networks, we have produced a database of stream confluences and their associated watershed attributes for the conterminous United States. The database includes 1,085,629 stream confluences and 383 attributes for each confluence that are organized into 15 database tables for both tributary and mainstem upstream catchments ("local" watersheds) and watersheds. Themes represented by the database tables include hydrology (e.g., stream order), land cover and land cover change, geology (e.g., calcium content of underlying lithosphere), physical condition (e.g., precipitation), measures of ecological integrity, and stressors (e.g., impaired streams). We use measures of ecological integrity (Thornbrugh et al. 2018) from the StreamCat database (Hill et al. 2016) to classify stream confluences using disjoint clustering and validate the cluster results using decision tree analysis.

This EnviroAtlas dataset contains the percentage of small, medium, and large natural areas for each Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) 12-Digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC-12) of the conterminous United States that is considered Natural based on the National Land Cover Database (NLCD). The percentage of natural area is by size class: Small is <500 acres, Medium is 500-25,000 acres, and Large is > 25,000 acres. Natural land cover combines NLCD-CDL 63, 83, 87, 111, 112, 131, 141, 142, 143, 151, 152, 171, 190, 195.

This EnviroAtlas dataset is a summary of total population near major roads without any tree buffer within 12-digit Hydrologic Units (HUC_12), based on the National Land Cover Database 2011 (NLCD 2011) percent tree canopy cover (TCC 2011) dataset. The metric is a measure of potential exposure to particulate matter from exhaust from traffic. Studies have shown that tree buffers can help improve air quality by filtering particulate matter for those living or working near roads.
