This dataset represents untransformed average annual daily traffic (AADT), or vehicles per day, throughout the Northeastern United States circa 2010. Detailed documentation for the methods to derive the dataset are available from the Ancillary Data document: http://jamba.provost.ads.umass.edu/web/LCC/AncillaryData.pdf This dataset was developed as part of the Designing Sustainable Landscapes project led by Professor Kevin McGarigal of the University of Massachusetts and sponsored by the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative; for more information about the entire project see: http://www.umass.edu/landeco/research/dsl/dsl.html Important steps in developing the dataset include: 1) Obtained raw road traffic...

This dataset depicts imperviousness for the Northeastern United States. Imperviousness is the percentage of the ground surface area that is impervious to water infiltration. Development such as roads and buildings increase imperviousness, which can have large effects on both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.The dataset is derived from two sources: 1) the 2006 National Land Cover Database (NLCD 2006), percent impervious product, and 2) OpenStreetMaps (www.openstreetmap.org). The NLCD 2006 was developed by the Multi-Resolution Land Cover Consortium (MRLC), which makes available metadata for the NLCD 2006 , NLCD 2001, and other information that describes how the imperviousness product was developed (http://www.mrlc.gov/)....

This dataset estimates the probability of road-crossing mortality to wildlife for roads throughout the Northeastern United States circa 2010. It is based on a model that relates traffic rate to wildlife mortality developed by Gibbs and Shriver (2002) for turtles and therefore the estimates are expected to be most accurate for relatively small, slow-moving wildlife species. Units are probability, 0-1 (e.g., a value of 0.25 is equivalent to an estimated 25% chance of mortality to wildlife that attempt to cross the road at that location.)Detailed documentation for the methods to derive the dataset are available from: DSL_traffic_documentation_07-2013.pdf . This dataset was developed as part of the Designing Sustainable...

This dataset measures the total amount of above-ground live biomass in forested systems, which is an important attribute of forested communites and an indicator of successional development, and an important habitat attribute for many forest-associated wildlife species. The dataset is derived from a combination of remote sensing products derived from multi-temporal Landsat TM data and Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plot data and forest succession models derived from FIA plot data. It is expected this dataset will be useful for distinguishing early successional from mature forests as they existed in approximately 2012. Units are in kilograms/meters squared times 10. To create this dataset, the Woods Hole North...

This dataset is a component of a complete package of products from the Connect the Connecticut project. Connect the Connecticut is a collaborative effort to identify shared priorities for conserving the Connecticut River Watershed for future generations, considering the value of fish and wildlife species and the natural ecosystems they inhabit. Click here to download the full data package, including all documentation.This dataset represents a scaled version of the headwater stream temperature tolerance index based on a model developed by Dr. Ben Letcher and associates at the USGS Conte Anadromous Fish Lab, which is a measure of the relative sensitivity of stream temperatures to rising air temperatures. Specifically,...
