Data and source code for "Bayesian analyses of seventeen winters of water vapor fluxes show bark beetles reduce sublimation"

Sublimation is important to the water cycle of cold, snow dominated ecosystems, many of which have been recently disturbed. In high elevation spruce-fir forests of western North America spruce beetle outbreaks have killed trees, reduced the canopy, and altered the processes that control sublimation. This publication includes the data, source code used for statistical analyses, and Bayesian posterior distributions used in Frank et al.

Climate data for RPA 2020 Assessment: MACAv2 (METDATA) historical modeled (1950-2005) and future (2006-2099) projections for the conterminous United States at the 1/24 degree grid scale

The 2020 Resources Planning Act (RPA) Assessment will include climate change as a driver affecting natural resources on all forest and rangelands in the United States. These climate projections, along with projections for population dynamics, economic growth, and land use change in the United States, comprise the RPA scenarios.

Species occurrence data from the aquatic eDNAtlas database

The eDNA samples in the eDNAtlas database describe species occurrence locations and were collected by the U.S. Forest Service and numerous agencies that have partnered with the National Genomics Center for Wildlife and Fish Conservation (NGC) throughout the United States. This project began in 2015, but updates will include legacy data that were collected using the same protocol. The eDNAtlas database consists of three feature classes.

AmeriFlux site visit report and data for the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (US-GLE)

This report and data summarize the AmeriFlux Tech team site visit to the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES) in southeastern Wyoming. For this campaign, the AmeriFlux portable eddy covariance system (PECS) was deployed near the in situ GLEES micro-meteorological sensors.

Current and future plant hardiness zones for the conterminous United States

This data publication includes raster digital files containing plant hardiness zones of current climate (1981–2010) and future climates (2070–2099; CanESM2, GFDL-ESM2G, and HadGEM2-ES general circulation models at representative concentration pathway 8.5) in the conterminous United States. Plant hardiness zones represent the coldest day of the year, averaged over 30 years.

Data and source code for "Impacts of non-ideality and the thermodynamic pressure work term p Delta-v on the Surface Energy Balance"

Present day eddy covariance based methods for measuring the energy and mass exchange between the earth's surface and the atmosphere often do not close the surface energy balance. Frequently the turbulent energy fluxes (sum of sensible and latent heat) underestimate the available energy (net incoming radiation minus the soil conductive heat flux) by 10 to 20% or more.

RPA Historical observational data (1979-2015) for the conterminous United States at the 1/24 degree grid scale based on MACA training data (METDATA) (2nd Edition)

This data publication contains a gridded historical (1979-2015) dataset for the conterminous United States that has been summarized to the monthly time scale. This monthly historical dataset was developed using the daily MACA observational data (METDATA), also called MACA Training Data (https://www.northwestknowledge.net/metdata/data/).

Field plot measures and fuel treatment units used to assess the effectiveness of (WUI) fuel treatments burned through by the 2007 East Zone and Cascade megafires in central Idaho (2nd Edition)

This data publication contains both vector and tabular digital data providing field plot measures and fuel treatment units used to assess the effectiveness of (WUI) fuel treatments burned through by the 2007 East Zone and Cascade megafires in central Idaho.

Tree-ring growth and stable-carbon isotope response data to forest restoration treatments in ponderosa pine forests of the Lick Creek Demonstration-Research Forest, Bitterroot National Forest, Montana, USA

This data publication includes the data used in "Forest restoration treatments in a ponderosa pine forest enhance physiological activity and growth under climatic stress" by Tepley et al. (2020).

Daily black carbon emissions data from fires in Northern Eurasia for 2002–2015

This data publication, the Fire Emission Inventory – Northern Eurasia (FEI-NE), consists of a high spatial resolution (500 meter × 500 meter) dataset of daily black carbon (BC) emissions from forest, grassland, shrubland, and savanna fires in Northern Eurasia from 2002 to 2015.
