This dataset portrays 28 forest type groups across the contiguous United States. These data were derived from MODIS composite images from the 2002 and 2003 growing seasons in combination with nearly 100 other geospatial data layers, including elevation, slope, aspect, ecoregions, and PRISM climate data. The dataset was developed as a collaborative effort between the USFS Forest Inventory and Analysis and Forest Health Monitoring programs and the USFS Remote Sensing Applications Center.

INHABIT species potential distribution across the contiguous United States (ver. 3.0, February 2023)
We developed habitat suitability models for invasive plant species selected by Department of Interior land management agencies. We applied the modeling workflow developed in Young et al. 2020 to species not included in the original case studies. Our methodology balanced trade-offs between developing highly customized models for a few species versus fitting non-specific and generic models for numerous species. We developed a national library of environmental variables known to physiologically limit plant distributions (Engelstad et al. 2022 Table S1: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0263056) and relied on human input based on natural history knowledge to further narrow the variable set for each species before...
A monthly water-balance model (MWBM) is applied to simulate components of the water balance for the period 1950-2100 under ssp245, ssp370, and ssp585 scenarios for the Contiguous United States. The statistically downscaled LOCA2 temperature and precipitation projections from 27 GCMs from the Climate Model Intercomparison Program Phase 6 (CMIP6) are use as input to the water balance model. This data set supports the USGS National Climate Change Viewer (ver. 2). The statistically downscaled data set is: CMIP6-LOCA2: Localized Constructed Analogs (Pierce et al. 2023, bias corrected by a modified version of Livneh et al. 2013) Users interested in the downscaled temperature and precipitation files are referred to the...
These data were generated for a cooperative project created by an agreement between the Federal Lands and Highways, Central Federal Lands Division (FLH-CFL) and the USGS Fort Collins Science Center (Colorado; https://www.fort.usgs.gov/) to facilitate development of spatially explicit natural resources and socioeconomic information for utilization during comprehensive transportation planning efforts. Federal Lands Highways (FLH) is the federal agency that helps guide and support transportation planning at national, regional, and state levels, including providing funding, information, and tools to state transportation planners. FLH is currently undertaking a series of pilot studies aimed at improving the availability,...

A raster dataset representing slope in the conterminous United States. This dataset was created from the radian slope raster of 100-meter spatial resolution developed by Ramcharan et al. (2018). Those data were derived from a conterminous 100-m Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the United States (http://nationalmap.gov/) using SAGA GIS software. Slope values are put into 9 slope classes to facilitate interpretation and reporting.

This metadata record describes two metrics that quantitatively measure the impact of reservoir storage on every flowline in the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusV2) for the conterminous United States. These metrics are computed for every 10 years from 1800 - 2015. The first metric (DamIndex_EROM.zip) estimates reservoir storage intensity in units of days based on reservoir storage in a contributing area normalized by the mean annual streamflow. This metric indicates the duration of storage impact upstream from each stream segment relative to the typical flow condition. In addition, this metric provides an assessment of the potential influence of a dam on average and low flows because the metric estimates the...
In 1993 and 2019, the Mississippi River Basin (MRB) experienced unprecedentedly persistent extreme precipitation events that resulted in a notable number of catastrophic flooding episodes. These floods caused disruption to almost every area of human endeavor and brought widespread damage to agricultural lands, homes, businesses, and infrastructure. These large flood events were associated with extreme rainfall events over an extended period and encompassed a number of U.S. states. We conducted two case studies: the MRB flooding events of 1993 and 2019. For each case study, we conducted a literature review and examined the sequence of extreme precipitation events and the evolution of flooding. We identified synoptic-scale...

A raster dataset representing the electric conductivity (EC) of surface soil horizons (top 15 cm or ~6 inches) in the conterminous United States. Increasing soil EC is correlated with increasing soil salt content which is referred to as soil salinity. High levels of soil salinity can only be tolerated by salt-tolerant plants, can interfere with the growth of non-salt tolerant plants, and make reclamation or restoration challenging. This dataset was created using the soil electric conductivity 100-meter spatial resolution predictive rasters for 0, 5, and 15 cm depths developed by Ramcharan (et al. 2018). The average soil EC over the top 15 cm in dS/m was calculated using the trapezoidal rule, and then put into 7...
A raster dataset representing wind speed in km per hour at 100-meter height for the Conterminous United States, averaged from 2007 to 2013 using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model run on a 2-km grid over the continental United States at a 5-min resolution. Data from Draxl et al. (2015), and then put into 8 quantile bins for interpretation and reporting. For more information and further data, please visit https://maps.nrel.gov/. Draxl, C., Clifton, A., Hodge, B.-M., and McCaa, J., 2015, The Wind Integration National Dataset (WIND) Toolkit: Applied Energy, v. 151, p. 355-366. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2015.03.121.
A raster dataset representing multi-year mean (2007 to 2013) capacity factors (CF) for a 5.5 MW, 175 meter rotor-diameter, 120 meter hub-height wind turbine (turbine details are from Lopez at al. Forthcoming) for the Conterminous United States. The weather data are modeled using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model run on a 2-km grid over the continental United States at a 5-min resolution (Draxl et al. 2015). Cell values represent the estimated capacity factor (a ratio of net generation to the maximum generation) for wind energy turbine production using the Systems Advisor Model (Blair et al. 2014). The continuous raster were put into 8 quantile bins for interpretation and reporting. For more information...

This is a dataset containing the first and second record of georeferenced observations of introduced and invasive vascular plant species in the contiguous United States (CONUS). Non-native plant species were identified using the United States Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (US-RIIS) list. After identifying a list of plants non-native to CONUS, we obtained presence data from aggregated occurrence databases, ensuring the occurrences we acquired were georeferenced (i.e., had coordinate information) and had an observation year recorded. We also identified and removed records that might indicate cultivation. From these data, the first and second record were removed and isolated. This data set contains the...

A raster dataset representing the clay content of surface soil horizons (top 15 cm or ~6 inches) in the conterminous United States. Soil texture, which is described by the proportion of sand, silt, and clay in the non-rock portion of the soil (soil particles < 2mm), is an important determinate of plant suitability, water movement into the soil, erosion vulnerability, and many other things. Clays are the finest soil particle size class and includes soil particles less than 0.002 mm in diameter. This dataset was created using the percent clay 100-meter spatial resolution predictive rasters for 0, 5, and 15 cm depths developed by Ramcharan et al. (2018). The average percent clay over the top 15 cm was calculated using...
