The file "02_Fish survey data_all events_2019-11-27.csv" contains the actual fish survey data that was collected in Mason Creek, tributary of East Fork Lewis River, SW Washington, during summer of 2017. The protocol for the fish surveys are outline in the file "Fish Rescue Field Protocol_2017_FINAL VERSION_2017-06-01.pdf". The abundance and survival analysis can be found in the file "Juvenile MR abundance_Coho_02Contraints_2019-12-02.R". This file should be loaded through the .Rproj file "Fish Abundance.Rproj".

The SAMBI DSL project used predicted urban growth models described herein to inform future landscape conditions that were also based climate change impacts and vegetative community succession. These future landscape conditions were then applied as a context for land use and management decisions in conservation planning. SLEUTH, named for the model input datasets (Slope, Land use, Excluded, Urban, Transportation and Hillshade) is the evolutionary product of the Clarke Urban Growth Model that uses cellular automata, terrain mapping and land cover change modeling to address urban growth (Jantz et al, 2009;...

Data for model estimation were derived from historical climate data, estimates of hydrological processes based on the Variable Infiltration Capacity model, National Wetlands Inventory, and the National Land Cover Database. Wetland densities were based on observations from the Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey. Projected climate conditions were derived from ten Global Climate Models, and projected changes in land use were based on an economic model of the effects of climate on land use transitions. These data support the following publication: Sofaer,... Categories: Data; Types: Citation; Tags: Montana, North Central CASC, North Dakota, Plants, Prairie Pothole Region, All tags...

This region provides critical breeding and migratory habitat for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent species, and is also a highly productive agricultural region. Generally, the regional effects projected by climate models are increasing temperatures and more variable precipitation, which could provide incentives for private landowners to convert native and managed grassland to intensive cropland. Conversion of grassland to cropland can result in habitat loss for dependent species and the degradation of a range of ecosystem services. If...

First, estimates of abundance and survival for juvenile coho salmon were generated for three time periods (early, middle, and late) during the summer of 2017 and reported in the file "Estimates of juvenile coho summer abundance and survival_MasonCreek_2017.xlsx". Second, summaries of the continuous habitat surveys can be found in the file "FinalStats_MasonMill2017_FishRescue.xlsx". Specifically here, the total length of stream habitat by habitat type (flowing, fragmented, dry) and the frequency and area of stream pools are summarized...
