Note: This data release is currently being revised and is temporarily unavailable. This data release contains aggregated data records documenting the implementation of USDA conservation practices on farms within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The data are supplied as annual totals aggregated by county, and by eight digit hydrologic unit code (HUC-8) watershed. The initial data release covers 2007-2017, and updates are planned for December of each year. The data provided here, and the processes used to aggregate them, are thoroughly described in "Agricultural conservation practice implementation in the Chesapeake Bay watershed supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture" by Hively and others (2018) available...

This data release contains field sampling data collected on a farm located in Talbot County. Maryland, roadside survey data from the area surrounding the farm, and WorldView-3 satellite data of the study area. Datasets include: 1) CropResidueDataset.csv: Tabular data for 174 photo sampling locations with crop residue cover ranging from 0% to 98%, as well as line-point transect residue cover measurements and lat-lon geolocations 2) Roadside_Survey_May14th2015.zip: Zipfile containing roadside survey data for 63 fields documenting percent crop residue cover, including shapefile of field boundaries 3) GroundCoverPhotographs.zip: Zipfile containing 174 nadir photographs that were the basis for ground cover calculations...
This data release contains in situ biomass samples collected from cereal grain winter cover crop fields at the USDA-ARS Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, MD, in the winters of 2019-20 and 2020-21. It also contains corresponding spectral reflectance and radar data acquired from the Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 satellite platforms on dates proximal to the biomass collection. Data are contained in a single csv file titled "BARC_2019-2021_WCC_dataset"

This posting contains field and satellite data collected in support of the scientific manuscript "Improved crop residue cover estimates by coupling spectral indices for residue and moisture." Quemada, M., W.D. Hively, C.S. Daughtry, B.T. Lamb, and J. Shermeyer. In review by Remote Sensing of Environment. In this study, field data were collected on May 15, 2015 and paired with reflectance data collected May 14th 2015. The manuscript compares portions of agricultural fields that were irrigated the day of imagery acquisitions with portions of the same fields not yet irrigated, using the contrast to derive a moisture correction algorithm for determination of percent crop residue cover. The data publication contains...

This data release contains spectra used to evaluate narrow-band shortwave infrared indices suitable for measurement of non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV). The original data were collected using a proximal Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) FieldSpecPro spectroradiometer, and are also provided in various states of processing, all of which is described in the manuscripts referenced below. Items 1-9 include spectra, items 10-12 include statistical descriptions of correlation goodness of fit between derived indices and fractional NPV cover, and item 13 contains estimated Landsat Next sensor radiometric properties. Item 14 includes spectra added to version 1.1 of this data release which correspond to a closely related...

This posting contains the source climate and crop rotation data used to run the SWAT model in the Tuckahoe and Upper Choptank watersheds, Maryland. It also contains the monthly flow load data used for validation of model results. The data release was produced in compliance with the new 'open data' requirements as a way to make the scientific products associated with USGS research efforts and publications available to the public. It is in support of a peer reviewed journal article titled "Assessing the impacts of future climate conditions on the effectiveness of winter cover crops in reducing nitrate loads into the Chesapeake bay watershed using SWAT model." The dataset consists of the following items: 1. Greensboro...

This metadata record documents data files, an analysis script, and results from a land-surface greenness analysis of the Tuckahoe Creek watershed, covering parts of Caroline, Queen Anne's and Talbot Counties in Maryland from 1984 to 2017. Included in this record are: 1) 34 raster datasets containing maximum wintertime greenness values on an annual basis from 1984 to 2017, 2) a script used in Google Earth Engine to create the raster datasets, 3) tabular output from vegetation biomass analysis for 1984 to 2017 using a composite cropland layer, 4) a raster of the composite cropland layer, 5) tabular output from vegetation biomass analysis by preceding summer crop type for 2008 to 2017 using year-specific annual cropland...
