This dataset includes stream temperatures from two data loggers installed at one site in the Little Blitzen River of SE Oregon as part of a redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdnerii) study. The site was used as an undisturbed reference in comparison with similar temperature monitoring sites in the Willow-Whitehorse watershed that experienced a 2012 fire that burned nearly the entire watershed.

These data were generated with MAXENT 3.3.3k freeware (Phillips et al. 2011) using climate data and fire probability data for for three time periods: reference (1900-1929), mid-century (2040-2069) and late century (2070-2099), and community occurrence point data extracted from LANDFIRE Environmental Site Potential (ESP). Future time period data are from three global climate models (GCMs): CGCM, GFDL, and HadCM3. In MAXENT, we used the logistic output format (generating presence probabilities between 0 and 1), a random test percentage of 30 (using 70 % of the occurrence points to generate the suitability model and 30 % of the occurrence points to validate it), and a jackknife test to measure variable importance....

Streamflow Permanence Probability (SPP) rasters represent the raw streamflow permanence probabilities produced by the PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model, annually for years 2004 through 2016, and overall mean and standard deviation. The PROSPER model is a GIS raster-based empirical model of probabilistic predictions of a stream channel having year-round flow for any unregulated and minimally-impaired stream channel in the Pacific Northwest region, U.S. The model provides predictions of annual streamflow permanence probabilities at a 30-m spatial resolution based on monthly or annually updated values of climatic conditions and static physiographic variables associated with the upstream basin. Predictions...

Streamflow Permanence Class (SPC) rasters represent the classification of the raw streamflow permanence probabilities produced by the PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model into categorical wet and dry classes, annually for years 2004 through 2016, and overall mean. Raw probabilities were classified into a -5 (dry) to +5 (wet) scale based on the spatially variable threshold (i.e., value that predicts the wet/dry break point) and confidence interval rasters. In general, the farther a raw probability value is from the threshold value for a given pixel, the farther the categorical value is from zero for that pixel. For example, a raw probability that is less than the threshold value minus the critical...

Fire in the western U.S. poses one of the greatest threats to human and ecological communities alike. In fact, fire management is the largest single expenditure of land management funds on federal lands. Now, climate change is altering wildfire patterns. Climate change in the West is creating warmer and drier conditions, resulting in an increase in the amount of dead vegetation available to fuel fires. This project sought to assess the vulnerability of forests in the southwestern U.S. to climate change and wildfire, in order to understand how these ecosystems might become altered as a result. Researchers (a) examined how climate change impacts wildfires in the region, to better understand fire risk; (b) identified...

Three .csv files contain occurrence points (longitude and latitude) for three woody vegetation communities found in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Points were extracted from publicly available LANDFIRE Environmental Site Potential 30 m raster downgraded to 1 km using a majority classification algorithm. The three communities are an oak type (dominated by Quercus stellata and Q. marilandica), a mesquite type (dominated by Prosopis glandulosa and P. velutina), and a pinyon-juniper type (dominated by Pinus edulis and Juniperus osteosperma). The 21 rasters contain environmental suitability scores for each of the three communities, generated with MAXENT freeware using historic and projected climate and fire probability...

This dataset includes stream temperatures from a network of 100 data loggers that was installed throughout the Willow-Whitehorse watershed of SE Oregon in September 2014, as well as 10 additional sites that were installed in 2011 and 2012, before and after a 2012 fire that burned nearly the entire watershed. Data loggers were downloaded in August 2015. A spatial data layer contains the site locations and associated information about the sites, along with summary temperature information and a comparison to modeled stream temperatures (NorWeST).

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed the PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model, a GIS raster-based empirical model that provides streamflow permanence probabilities (probabilistic predictions) of a stream channel having year-round flow for any unregulated and minimally-impaired stream channel in the Pacific Northwest region, U.S. The model provides annual predictions for 2004-2016 at a 30-m spatial resolution based on monthly or annually updated values of climatic conditions and static physiographic variables associated with the upstream basin (Raw streamflow permanence probability rasters). Predictions correspond to pixels on the channel network consistent with the medium resolution National...
