This data release contains in situ biomass samples collected from cereal grain winter cover crop fields at the USDA-ARS Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, MD, in the winters of 2019-20 and 2020-21. It also contains corresponding spectral reflectance and radar data acquired from the Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 satellite platforms on dates proximal to the biomass collection. Data are contained in a single csv file titled "BARC_2019-2021_WCC_dataset"

This data release contains field sampling data collected on a farm located in Talbot County. Maryland, roadside survey data from the area surrounding the farm, and WorldView-3 satellite data of the study area. Datasets include: 1) CropResidueDataset.csv: Tabular data for 174 photo sampling locations with crop residue cover ranging from 0% to 98%, as well as line-point transect residue cover measurements and lat-lon geolocations 2) Roadside_Survey_May14th2015.zip: Zipfile containing roadside survey data for 63 fields documenting percent crop residue cover, including shapefile of field boundaries 3) GroundCoverPhotographs.zip: Zipfile containing 174 nadir photographs that were the basis for ground cover calculations...

This data release contains spectra used to evaluate narrow-band shortwave infrared indices suitable for measurement of non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV). The original data were collected using a proximal Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) FieldSpecPro spectroradiometer, and are also provided in various states of processing, all of which is described in the manuscripts referenced below. Items 1-9 include spectra, items 10-12 include statistical descriptions of correlation goodness of fit between derived indices and fractional NPV cover, and item 13 contains estimated Landsat Next sensor radiometric properties. Item 14 includes spectra added to version 1.1 of this data release which correspond to a closely related...

This metadata record documents data files, an analysis script, and results from a land-surface greenness analysis of the Tuckahoe Creek watershed, covering parts of Caroline, Queen Anne's and Talbot Counties in Maryland from 1984 to 2017. Included in this record are: 1) 34 raster datasets containing maximum wintertime greenness values on an annual basis from 1984 to 2017, 2) a script used in Google Earth Engine to create the raster datasets, 3) tabular output from vegetation biomass analysis for 1984 to 2017 using a composite cropland layer, 4) a raster of the composite cropland layer, 5) tabular output from vegetation biomass analysis by preceding summer crop type for 2008 to 2017 using year-specific annual cropland...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
