Spatial Database of Known and Potential Ciénegas in the Greater Madrean Archipelago Ecoregion This dataset provides location information and some limited attributes of known and potential ciénegas in the Madrean Archipelago ecoregion and closely surrounding area. This was created using point data and information provided by Dean Hendrickson and Thomas Minckley, combined with potential locations derived from analysis of classified raster land cover images and other specialized datasets. Ciénegas, as defined here, are wetlands in arid and semi-arid regions associated with groundwater or lotic components that ideally result in perennial waters on temporal scales of decades to centuries. Ciénegas are typically located at elevations ranging from 0 to 2000m. Ciénegas are typified by significant differences in... Tags: Arizona, Ecology, Geography, Hydrology, Land Use Change, All tags...

The vegetation is characterized using a series of remote sensing vegetation indices developing using satellite imagery, including the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Tasseled Cap (TC) Transformation metrics of brightness, greenness, and wetness. Each of these remote sensing vegetation indices provides a unique characterization of the vegetation properties. For example, NDVI provides a general overview...

The full suite of data products and a link to the associated publication addressing this analysis can be found on the Parent data release. To characterize the climate conditions across the study period, we use the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). The SPEI is a water balance index which includes both precipitation and evapotranspiration in its calculation. Conditions from the prior n months, generally... Categories: Data Dataset for 2013 Creek Fire Research Points, Pre- and Post-Fire Data, U.S. Geological Survey The practice of fire suppression across the western United States over the past century has led to dense forests, and when coupled with drought has contributed to an increase in large and destructive wildfires. Forest management efforts aimed at reducing flammable fuels through various fuel treatments can help to restore frequent fire regimes and increase forest resilience. Our research examines how different fuel treatments influenced burn severity and post-fire vegetative stand dynamics on the San Carlos Apache Reservation, in east-central Arizona, U.S.A. Our methods included the use of multitemporal remote sensing data and cloud computing to evaluate burn severity and post-fire vegetation conditions as well as...

The product was developed by digitizing the active channel and primary riparian floodplain using historic 1935 aerial imagery (Arizona State University GeoData, 2021) and National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) aerial imagery from 2019 (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2021).

Database of Ciénega Locations in Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico Ciénegas, as defined here, are wetlands in arid and semi-arid regions associated with groundwater or lotic components that ideally result in perennial waters on temporal scales of decades to centuries. Ciénegas are typically no lower than 0 m, and higher than 2000 m, rarely lower but sometimes higher elevation localities occur. Ciénegas are typified by significant differences in flora and fauna relative to the greater terrestrial conditions in the region in which it is located. Ciénegas are freshwater to brackish North American wetlands associated with fluvial systems of arid/semi-arid areas of the southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico. Once extensively utilized by the region's indigenous human cultures, early...

This zip file contains spatial, descriptive and digital camera image data for a vegetation field dataset collected on the San Carlos Apache Reservation and surrounding area in Arizona, and used for analysis in the associated publication. Data consists of vector point data, vegetation community type, field observations, and digital camera images that correspond with the images in the associated directory. This field data was used, in addition to historical field data from the SWReGAP project, to characterize the accuracy of the vegetation maps generated by the techniques described in the associated publication. The maps generated by these techniques did not improve on the accuracy of existing maps and are, therefore,...
