Isle Royal National Park (ISRO): Initial Forest Communities of Isle Royale National Park This data set represents initial forest communities developed for Isle Royale National Park. LANDIS-II requires an input data layer that contains the ages of each species cohort present within each cell of the landscape. To develop this layer, we matched the composition of forest inventory plots to a map of forest types, and randomly imputed U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Inventory plots within each matching forest type Categories: Data; Types: Downloadable, GeoTIFF, Map Service, Raster; Tags: Forest Succession, Isle Royale National Park, Lake Superior, Michigan, USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), All tags... cohort, forest ecosystems, forest resources, forests, mathematical modeling, simulation, succession (biological), Fewer tags Proportion of Conifer Forest Land Cover (18-km scale) in the Wyoming Basins Ecoregional Assessment area Proportion of conifer forest land cover within a 18-km radius developed using a circular focal moving window analysis.

The U.S. Northern Rockies still support a full suite of native wildlife, and survival of these populations depends on connected landscapes. Connected landscapes support current migration and dispersal as well as future shifts in species ranges that will be necessary for species to adapt to our changing climate. Working in partnership with state and federal resource managers and private land trusts, we sought to: 1) understand how future climate change may alter habitat composition of landscapes expected to serve as important connections for wildlife,...

First, we tested the applicability of the LiDAR-based model developed for the Coos Bay District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to the Siuslaw N.F. In the second step, we tested alternative habitat models developed with forest structural data and Murrelet survey data from the Siuslaw N.F. We compared the performance of each model to provide forest managers with the best predictive tool to guide habitat management for the Marbled Murrelet. This shapefile contains the probability of Marbled Murrelet occupancy values of each model for vegetation polygons defined...

Data include tree locations, species identification, and status (live, dead, and, if dead, sometimes includes information on foliage and twig retention). They are a collection of different sampling efforts performed over several years, starting in a period of severe drought mortality. One csv table is included that shows data and validation results for an additional dataset that was used to test the NAIP derived dead tree detection model that is associated with this data release.

These scans were co-located within field plots from a larger ongoing U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) project collecting wildfire fuels and forest structure data (informally known as the Fire and Fuels Project). These data can also be found in a USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) database named IntELiMon (https://dmsdata.cr.usgs.gov/lidar-monitoring/viewer/).

Our final model for stand-level occupancy included distance to coast and 5 LiDAR-derived variables describing canopy structure.

The predictive model was fit using presence/absence data collected in 4.4m radius plots (60 square meters). Please refer to Stewart et al. (2020) for more details concerning field data collection, the model fitting process, and limitations. Learn more about shiny apps at https://shiny.rstudio.com. The app is designed to simplify the process of predicting post-fire conifer regeneration under different precipitation and seed production scenarios.

The photos are being interpreted using a 1-hectare 10% minimum vegetation cover to delineate land cover/land use, percent vegetation cover, tree height, and hydrology regime. The geographic extent of the UMRS is the Mississippi River from Cairo, IL to Minneapolis, MN and the Illinois River from its confluence with the Mississippi near Grafton, IL to Lake Michigan.
