However, the relatively simpler weathering of carbonate-dominated lithology can result in secondary mineral deposits, such as speleothems, which provide a long-term archive for Critical Zone processes. In particular, carbon isotopic variability in speleothems has the potential to provide records of changes in vegetation, soil respiration, carbon stabilization in deep soils, and/or chemical weathering in the host rock. Despite this opportunity to reconstruct many Critical Zone processes, multiple influences can also make interpretion of these speleothem carbon isotope records challenging. The integration of observational data and simulations specific to karst systems offers an interpretive framework for these unique time-averaged records accumulated through the evolution of carbonate landscapes. Here, we present a forward and process-based reactive transport simulation based on a multi-year monitoring study of Blue Spring Cave in central Tennessee, USA. The simulations describe the fluid-driven weathering of limestone including explicit tracking of dissolved calcium, stable carbon, and radiocarbon isotope ratios based on reaction rates calibrated through laboratory batch reaction data. We find that calcium concentrations and radiocarbon isotope ratios are strongly influenced by the combination of fluid flow rate and soil CO</span><sub>2</sub><span>&nbsp;content, and require rapid gas phase communication between the overlying soil boundary condition and interior karst to sustain both elevated limestone weathering rates and relatively modern radiocarbon signatures. Stable carbon isotopes are largely dictated by temperature-dependent equilibrium fractionation among contemporaneous species. These simulations are extended to a wide range of parameter space to demonstrate the environmental factors that these isotope proxies record.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.gca.2021.06.041","usgsCitation":"Druhan, J., Lawrence, C., Covey, A., Giannetta, M., and Oster, J., 2021, A reactive transport approach to modeling cave seepage water chemistry I: Carbon isotope transformations: Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, v. 311, p. 374-400, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2021.06.041.","productDescription":"27 p.","startPage":"374","endPage":"400","ipdsId":"IP-125015","costCenters":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":451520,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2021.06.041","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":436277,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P90OTSDY","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Data from a reactive transport modeling study of cave seepage water chemistry"},{"id":387713,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"311","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Druhan, Jennifer","contributorId":245460,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Druhan","given":"Jennifer","affiliations":[{"id":36403,"text":"University of Illinois","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820565,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lawrence, Corey 0000-0001-6143-7781","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6143-7781","contributorId":202373,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lawrence","given":"Corey","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":318,"text":"Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":820566,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Covey, Aaron","contributorId":261749,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Covey","given":"Aaron","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36656,"text":"Vanderbilt University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820567,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Giannetta, Max","contributorId":261750,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Giannetta","given":"Max","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":35161,"text":"University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820568,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Oster, Jessica","contributorId":223020,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Oster","given":"Jessica","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":36656,"text":"Vanderbilt University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820569,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Traditionally this approach has been applied to phase-averaged models but has more recently been applied to phase-resolving models using post-processing, whereby model output is used to calculate each of the momentum terms. While phase-resolving models have the advantage of capturing the nonlinear properties of waves propagating in the nearshore (making them advantageous to enhance understanding of nearshore processes), the post-processing calculation of the momentum terms does not guarantee that the momentum balance closes. We show that this is largely due to the difficulty (or impossibility) of being consistent with the numerical approach. If the residual is of a similar magnitude as any of the relevant momentum terms (which is common with post-processing methods as we show), the analysis is largely compromised. Here we present a new method to internally calculate and extract the depth-integrated, mean momentum terms in the phase-resolving non-hydrostatic wave-flow model SWASH in a manner that is consistent with the numerical implementation. Further, we demonstrate the utility of the new method with two existing physical model studies. By being consistent with the numerical framework, the internal method calculates the momentum terms with a much lower residual at computer precision, combined with greatly reduced calculation time and output storage requirements compared to post-processing techniques. The method developed here allows the accurate evaluation of the depth-integrated, mean momentum terms of wave-driven flows while taking advantage of the more complete representation of the wave dynamics offered by phase-resolving models. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for advances in the understanding of nearshore processes particularly at more complex sites where wave nonlinearity and energy transfers are important.</p></div></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.ocemod.2021.101846","usgsCitation":"da Silva, R.F., Rijnsdorp, D.P., Hansen, J., Lowe, R.J., Buckley, M.L., and Zijlema, M., 2021, An efficient method to calculate depth-integrated, phase-averaged momentum balances in non-hydrostatic models: Ocean Modelling, v. 165, 101846, 18 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2021.101846.","productDescription":"101846, 18 p.","ipdsId":"IP-126521","costCenters":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":451531,"rank":0,"type":{"id":41,"text":"Open Access External Repository Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2021.101846","text":"External Repository"},{"id":387595,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"165","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"da Silva, Renan F.","contributorId":261462,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"da Silva","given":"Renan","email":"","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[{"id":24588,"text":"The University of Western Australia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820066,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Rijnsdorp, Dirk P.","contributorId":261463,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rijnsdorp","given":"Dirk","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[{"id":17614,"text":"Delft University of Technology","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820067,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hansen, Jeff E.","contributorId":146437,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hansen","given":"Jeff E.","affiliations":[{"id":590,"text":"U.S. Army Corps of Engineers","active":false,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820068,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Lowe, Ryan J.","contributorId":152265,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lowe","given":"Ryan","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820069,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Buckley, Mark L. 0000-0002-1909-4831","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1909-4831","contributorId":203481,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Buckley","given":"Mark","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":820070,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Zijlema, Marcel","contributorId":261465,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zijlema","given":"Marcel","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":17614,"text":"Delft University of Technology","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820071,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6}]}}

The project was tasked with developing a new ground motion characterization (GMC) model for CENA. The final NGA-East GMC model includes a set of 17 median ground motion models (GMMs) for peak ground acceleration and velocity (PGA, PGV) and response spectral ordinates for periods ranging from 0.01 to 10 s. The NGA-East GMMs are applicable to horizontal components of ground motions on very hard rock, for the moment magnitude range of 4.0–8.2, and distances of up to 1500 km. The aleatory standard deviations of GMMs are also provided for site-specific analysis (single-station standard deviation) and for general probabilistic seismic hazard analyses (PSHA) applications (ergodic standard deviation). In addition, adjustment factors are provided for source depth and hanging-wall effects, as well as for hazard computations at sites in the Gulf Coast Region. During the course of the project, several innovative technologies were developed and implemented to increase the transparency and repeatability of the GMC building process. This involved expanding on a set of candidate median GMMs to define and capture an appropriate range of epistemic uncertainty in ground motions. We also developed a new approach for modeling the aleatory variability that was completely independent of the median GMMs. The development made extensive use of the CENA database but also borrowed data from other parts of the world when relevant and led to an integrated suite of models. Through this repeatable process, epistemic uncertainty could be quantified more objectively than before, relying less on expert opinion. The NGA-East project went through a comprehensive Seismic Senior Hazard Analysis Committee (SSHAC) Level 3 peer review process before its release.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Earthquake Engineering Research Institute","doi":"10.1177/87552930211018723","usgsCitation":"Goulet, C.A., Bozorgnia, Y., Kuehn, N., Al Atik, L., Youngs, R., Graves, R., and Atkinson, G.M., 2021, NGA-East Ground-Motion Characterization model part I: Summary of products and model development: Earthquake Spectra, v. 37, no. 1, p. 1231-1282, https://doi.org/10.1177/87552930211018723.","productDescription":"52 p.","startPage":"1231","endPage":"1282","ipdsId":"IP-128860","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":387768,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"Canada, United States","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -105.8203125,\n              47.754097979680026\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.8203125,\n              31.052933985705163\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.546875,\n              26.43122806450644\n            ],\n            [\n              -95.2734375,\n              26.43122806450644\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.296875,\n              26.43122806450644\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.6171875,\n              25.799891182088334\n            ],\n            [\n              -78.75,\n              26.115985925333536\n            ],\n            [\n              -76.9921875,\n              31.653381399664\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.47656249999999,\n              38.272688535980976\n            ],\n            [\n              -67.8515625,\n              41.50857729743935\n            ],\n            [\n              -59.4140625,\n              45.336701909968134\n            ],\n            [\n              -49.92187499999999,\n              47.27922900257082\n            ],\n            [\n              -56.953125,\n              53.74871079689897\n            ],\n            [\n              -62.22656249999999,\n              59.17592824927136\n            ],\n            [\n              -72.0703125,\n              62.75472592723178\n            ],\n            [\n              -81.9140625,\n              63.23362741232569\n            ],\n            [\n              -100.1953125,\n              62.431074232920906\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.6328125,\n              61.270232790000634\n            ],\n            [\n              -105.8203125,\n              47.754097979680026\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"37","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Goulet, Christine A. 0000-0002-7643-357X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7643-357X","contributorId":194805,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Goulet","given":"Christine","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":13249,"text":"University of Southern California","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":820721,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bozorgnia, Yousef","contributorId":40101,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bozorgnia","given":"Yousef","affiliations":[{"id":6643,"text":"University of California -

PSA is a relatively simple metric that correlates well with the response of several engineering systems and is a metric commonly used in engineering evaluations; however, characteristics of the PSA calculation make application of scaling factors dependent on the frequency content of the input motion, complicating the development and adaptability of GMMs. By comparison, Fourier amplitude spectrum (FAS) represents ground-motion amplitudes that are completely independent from the amplitudes at other frequencies, making them an attractive alternative for GMM development. Random vibration theory (RVT) predicts the peak response of motion in the time domain based on the FAS and a duration, and thus can be used to relate FAS to PSA. Using RVT to compute the expected peak response in the time domain for given FAS therefore presents a significant advantage that is gaining traction in the GMM field. This article provides recommended RVT procedures relevant to GMM development, which were developed for the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA)-East project. In addition, an orientation-independent FAS metric—called the effective amplitude spectrum (EAS)—is developed for use in conjunction with RVT to preserve the mean power of the corresponding two horizontal components considered in traditional PSA-based modeling (i.e., RotD50). The EAS uses a standardized smoothing approach to provide a practical representation of the FAS for ground-motion modeling, while minimizing the impact on the four RVT properties (<i>zeroth</i><span>&nbsp;</span>moment,<span>&nbsp;</span><span class=\"equationTd\">m0</span>; bandwidth parameter,<span>&nbsp;</span><span class=\"equationTd\">δ</span>; frequency of zero crossings,<span>&nbsp;</span><span class=\"equationTd\">fz</span>; and frequency of extrema,<span>&nbsp;</span><span class=\"equationTd\">fe</span>). Although the recommendations were originally developed for NGA-East, they and the methodology they are based on can be adapted to become portable to other GMM and engineering problems requiring the computation of PSA from FAS.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Sage Publications","doi":"10.1177/87552930211019052","usgsCitation":"Kottke, A.R., Abrahamson, N., Boore, D., Bozorgina, Y., Goulet, C.A., Hollenback, J., Kishida, T., Ktenidou, O., Rathje, E., Silva, W., Thompson, E.M., and Wang, X., 2021, Selection of random vibration theory procedures for the NGA-East project and ground-motion modeling: Earthquake Spectra, v. 37, no. 1, p. 1420-1439, https://doi.org/10.1177/87552930211019052.","productDescription":"20 p.","startPage":"1420","endPage":"1439","ipdsId":"IP-129456","costCenters":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":394095,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"37","issue":"1","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kottke, Albert R.","contributorId":271023,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kottke","given":"Albert","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":56254,"text":"Pacific Gas & Electric, San Francisco, CA 94105","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":830440,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Abrahamson, Norman A.","contributorId":45202,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Abrahamson","given":"Norman A.","affiliations":[{"id":13174,"text":"Pacific Gas & Electric","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":830441,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Boore, David 0000-0002-8605-9673 boore@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8605-9673","contributorId":140502,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Boore","given":"David","email":"boore@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":237,"text":"Earthquake Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":830442,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Bozorgina, Yousef","contributorId":271024,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bozorgina","given":"Yousef","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":56148,"text":"University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":830443,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Goulet, Christine A. 0000-0002-7643-357X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7643-357X","contributorId":194805,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Goulet","given":"Christine","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":13249,"text":"University of Southern California","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":830444,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Hollenback, Justin","contributorId":271025,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hollenback","given":"Justin","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":830445,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Kishida, Tadahiro","contributorId":140538,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Kishida","given":"Tadahiro","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6643,"text":"University of California -

Ecological conditions for many animal\nspecies have deteriorated as a function of invasive plants and habitat fragmentation. Expansion\nof juniper (Juniperus spp.) trees and invasion of annual grasses into sagebrush (Artemisia spp.)\necosystems have contributed to habitat degradation for Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrococercus\nurophasianus (Bonaparte, 1827); hereafter, “Sage-Grouse”), a species of conservation concern\nthroughout its range. We evaluated relationships between habitat use in a landscape modified by juniper expansion and annual grasses and corticosterone metabolite levels (stress responses) in feces (FCORTm) of female Sage-Grouse.  We used remotely sensed data to estimate vegetation cover within hens’ home ranges and accounted for factors that influence FCORTm in other vertebrates, such as age and weather. We collected 36 fecal samples from 22 radio-collared hens during the brood-rearing season (24 May–26 July) in southwestern Idaho 2017–18. Concentrations of corticosterone increased with home range size but decreased with reproductive effort and temperature. The importance of home range size suggests that maintaining or improving habitats that promote smaller home ranges would likely facilitate a lower stress response by hens, which should benefit Sage-Grouse survival and reproduction.","language":"English","publisher":"Canadian Science Publishing","doi":"10.1139/cjz-2020-0258","usgsCitation":"Rabon, J.C., Nunez, C., Coates, P.S., Ricca, M.A., and Johnson, T.N., 2021, Ecological correlates of fecal corticosterone metabolites in female Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrococercus urophasianus): Canadian Journal of Zoology, v. 99, no. 9, p. 812-822, https://doi.org/10.1139/cjz-2020-0258.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"812","endPage":"822","ipdsId":"IP-129805","costCenters":[{"id":289,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosys Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":395211,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -116.49902343749999,\n              45.61403741135093\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.883544921875,\n              45.058001435398275\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.883544921875,\n              44.95702412512118\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.98242187499999,\n              44.80132682904856\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.04833984375001,\n              44.77013681219717\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.27905273437499,\n              44.4808302785626\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.257080078125,\n              44.268804788566165\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.13623046874999,\n              44.213709909702054\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.927490234375,\n              44.134913443750726\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.05932617187499,\n              43.858296779161826\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.05932617187499,\n              42.00032514831621\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.071044921875,\n              41.9921602333763\n            ],\n            [\n              -114.14794921875,\n              45.66012730272194\n            ],\n            [\n              -116.49902343749999,\n              45.61403741135093\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"99","issue":"9","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Rabon, Jordan C.","contributorId":223734,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rabon","given":"Jordan","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":40761,"text":"Department of Fish and Wildlife Sciences, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83844","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":832475,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Nunez, Cassandra","contributorId":273037,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nunez","given":"Cassandra","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":56418,"text":"University of Memphis, 3774 Walker Avenue, Memphis, TN 38152, USA.","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":832476,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Coates, Peter S. 0000-0003-2672-9994 pcoates@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2672-9994","contributorId":3263,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Coates","given":"Peter","email":"pcoates@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":832477,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Ricca, Mark A. 0000-0003-1576-513X mark_ricca@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1576-513X","contributorId":139103,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ricca","given":"Mark","email":"mark_ricca@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":832478,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Johnson, Tracey N. 0000-0003-3480-8596","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3480-8596","contributorId":223735,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Johnson","given":"Tracey","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[{"id":40761,"text":"Department of Fish and Wildlife Sciences, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83844","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":832479,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

The US National Park Service (NPS) is facing the challenge of insufficient budget allocations for both maintenance and climate adaptation of historic structures. Research on adaptation planning for cultural resources has predominately focused on vulnerability assessments of heritage sites; however, few studies integrate multiple factors (e.g., vulnerability, cultural significance, use potential, and costs) that managers should consider when making tradeoff decisions about which cultural resources to prioritize for adaptation. Moreover, heritage sites typically include multiple types of cultural resources, and researchers have yet to examine such complex tradeoffs. This study applies the Optimal Preservation (OptiPres) Model as a decision support framework to evaluate the tradeoffs of adaptation actions among multiple types of historic structures—wooden buildings, masonry and concrete buildings, forts, and batteries—under varying budget scenarios. Results suggest that the resource values of different types of historic structures vary greatly under a range of budget scenarios, and tradeoffs have to be made among different types of historical structures to achieve optimal planning objectives. Moreover, periodic, incremental funding and partial maintenance are identified as optimal funding strategies for preservation needs of cost-intensive historic structures. Also, adaptative use of historical buildings (e.g., building occupancy) can improve the resource values when budgets are constrained. The OptiPres Model provides managers with a unique framework to inform adaptation planning efforts for a broad range of historic structures, which is transferable across coastal parks to enhance historic preservation planning under climate change.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.landurbplan.2021.104165","usgsCitation":"Xiao, X., Seekamp, E., Lu, J., Eaton, M.J., and van der Burg, M., 2021, Optimizing preservation for multiple types of historic structures under climate change: Landscape and Urban Planning, v. 214, 104165, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2021.104165.","productDescription":"104165, 14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-122847","costCenters":[{"id":40926,"text":"Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":451550,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2021.104165","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":387064,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"214","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Xiao, Xiao","contributorId":212835,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Xiao","given":"Xiao","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13595,"text":"NCSU","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":818891,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Seekamp, Erin","contributorId":212832,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Seekamp","given":"Erin","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":13595,"text":"NCSU","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":818892,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lu, Junyu","contributorId":260820,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lu","given":"Junyu","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6607,"text":"Arizona State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":818893,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Eaton, Mitchell J. 0000-0001-7324-6333","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7324-6333","contributorId":213526,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Eaton","given":"Mitchell","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":565,"text":"Southeast Climate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":818894,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"van der Burg, Max Post 0000-0002-3943-4194","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3943-4194","contributorId":219439,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"van der Burg","given":"Max Post","affiliations":[{"id":480,"text":"Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":818895,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Gap-filling methane fluxes is challenging because of high variability and complex responses to multiple drivers. To date, there is no widely established gap-filling standard for wetland methane fluxes, with regards both to the best model algorithms and predictors. This study synthesizes results of different gap-filling methods systematically applied at 17 wetland sites spanning boreal to tropical regions and including all major wetland classes and two rice paddies. Procedures are proposed for: 1) creating realistic artificial gap scenarios, 2) training and evaluating gap-filling models without overstating performance, and 3) predicting half-hourly methane fluxes and annual emissions with realistic uncertainty estimates. Performance is compared between a conventional method (marginal distribution sampling) and four machine learning algorithms. The conventional method achieved similar median performance as the machine learning models but was worse than the best machine learning models and relatively insensitive to predictor choices. Of the machine learning models, decision tree algorithms performed the best in cross-validation experiments, even with a baseline predictor set, and artificial neural networks showed comparable performance when using all predictors. Soil temperature was frequently the most important predictor whilst water table depth was important at sites with substantial water table fluctuations, highlighting the value of data on wetland soil conditions. Raw gap-filling uncertainties from the machine learning models were underestimated and we propose a method to calibrate uncertainties to observations. The python code for model development, evaluation, and uncertainty estimation is publicly available. This study outlines a modular and robust machine learning workflow and makes recommendations for, and evaluates an improved baseline of, methane gap-filling models that can be implemented in multi-site syntheses or standardized products from regional and global flux networks (e.g., FLUXNET).","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.agrformet.2021.108528","usgsCitation":"Irvin, J., Zhou, S., McNicol, G., Lu, F., Liu, V., Fluet-Chouinard, E., Ouyang, Z., Knox, S., Lucas-Moffat, A., Trotta, C., Papale, D., Vitale, D., Mammarella, I., Alekseychik, P., Aurela, M., Avati, A., Baldocchi, D., Bansal, S., Bohrer, G., Campbell, D.I., Chen, J., Chu, H., Dalmagro, H.J., Delwiche, K.B., Desai, A.R., Euskirchen, E.S., Feron, S., Goeckede, M., Heimann, M., Helbig, M., Helfter, C., Hemes, K.S., Hirano, T., Iwata, H., Jurasinski, G., Kalhori, A., Kondrich, A., Lai, D., Lohila, A., Malholtra, A., Merbold, L., Mitra, B., Ng, A., Nilsson, M.B., Noormets, A., Peichl, M., Rey-Sanchez, A.C., Richardson, A.D., Runkle, B.R., Schafer, K.V., Sonnentag, O., Stuart-Haëntjens, E., Sturtevant, C., Ueyama, M., Valach, A.C., Vargas, R., Vourlitis, G.L., Ward, E., Wong, G.X., Zona, D., Alberto, M.C., Billesbach, D.P., Celis, G., Dolman, H., Friborg, T., Fuchs, K., Gogo, S., Gondwe, M.J., Goodrich, J.P., Gottschalk, P., Hortnagl, L., Jacotot, A., Koebsch, F., Kasak, K., Maier, R., Morin, T.H., Nemitz, E., Oechel, W.C., Oikawa, P.Y., Ono, K., Sachs, T., Sakabe, A., Schuur, E.A., Shortt, R., Sullivan, R.C., Szutu, D.J., Tuittila, E., Varlagin, A., Verfaillie, J.G., Wille, C., Windham-Myers, L., Poulter, B., and Jackson, R.B., 2021, Gap-filling eddy covariance methane fluxes: Comparison of machine learning model predictions and uncertainties at FLUXNET-CH4 wetlands: Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, v. 308–309, 108528, 22 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2021.108528.","productDescription":"108528, 22 p.","ipdsId":"IP-126298","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":451557,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2021.108528","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":410275,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"308–309","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Irvin, Jeremy","contributorId":299776,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Irvin","given":"Jeremy","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":858602,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Zhou, Sharon","contributorId":299777,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Zhou","given":"Sharon","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":858603,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McNicol, Gavin 0000-0002-6655-8045","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6655-8045","contributorId":260536,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McNicol","given":"Gavin","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":858604,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Lu, Fred","contributorId":299807,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lu","given":"Fred","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":858605,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Liu, Vincent","contributorId":299778,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Liu","given":"Vincent","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":858606,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Fluet-Chouinard, Etienne","contributorId":217392,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Fluet-Chouinard","given":"Etienne","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":6986,"text":"Stanford University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":858607,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Ouyang, Zutao","contributorId":260556,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ouyang","given":"Zutao","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":858608,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Knox, Sara Helen 0000-0003-2255-5835","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2255-5835","contributorId":272609,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Knox","given":"Sara Helen","affiliations":[{"id":56388,"text":"U.

Bats are a highly mobile taxa capable of rapid responses to changes in abiotic or biotic conditions. In North America, recent extralimital records of the non-hibernating Lasiurus seminolus (Seminole bat) have been attributed to climate change, however such attributions remain speculative and potentially subject to sampling bias in the form of increased recent sampling efforts at latitudes north of the historical range. We used historical occurrence records and simple environmental variables within a Maxent modeling framework to model the historical distribution of suitable areas for this species. We transferred the model using near current environmental conditions and measured the ability of the model to capture the apparent expansion in distribution using recent extralimital occurrence records. This measure indicated a distribution expansion, largely attributed to increasing minimum temperatures. We used the model to forecast the expansion in distribution of suitable areas at three 20-year intervals and various climate change scenarios and provide extrapolation risk maps for each scenario. Although increasing temperatures may increase potentially occupiable areas, the species is associated with forests and often roosts in Pinus spp. (pines). This suitable habitat is reduced in presence to the northwest of the species’ range, which may constrain the future species expansion despite favorable temperatures. We demonstrated this effect by mapping limiting factors through future climate change scenarios. We discovered a broad shift of effects that constrained the distribution from minimum temperature to a metric of evergreen cover type as time and climate intensity increased. Although uncertainties exist, we predict further expansion of the Seminole bat widely over the next 60 years across the eastern United States where suitable habitat and climate conditions converge. Our results appear consistent with other bat species showing similar range extensions and in turn provide further evidence that bats may serve as bioindicators of global change.","language":"English","publisher":"Polish Academy of Sciences, Museum & Institute of Zoology","doi":"10.3161/15081109ACC2021.23.1.011","usgsCitation":"True, M., Perry, R., and Ford, W., 2021,

The restoration of natural flow conditions improves water quality, sediment transport, aquatic and riparian habitat, and fish passage. These projects can also decrease hazards faced by communities by lowering water-surface elevations of flood waters and by removing the risk of dam breaches associated with aging or inadequate infrastructure.<br><br>This report documents and provides results of one- and two-dimensional hydraulic models developed for selected rivers and streams in the northeastern United States where a dam was removed or a culvert was retrofitted. The models were developed for conditions before and after the dam removal or culvert modification. The discharges applied in the models included monthly discharges and flood discharges for the annual exceedance probabilities of 50, 20, 10, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, and 0.2 percent.<br><br>This study, by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, demonstrates the benefits resulting from dam removal and retrofitting undersized culverts in terms of decreased water-surface elevations during flooding and improved fish passage. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System was used to model the sites in one- and two-dimensional hydraulics, and decreases in the 1-percent annual exceedance probability discharge water-surface elevation were found at all sites studied. The decreases in water-surface elevation at sites in which the impoundment was removed ranged from 1.3 to 10.4 feet. One site, Bradford Dam in Westerly, Rhode Island, had only a 0.2-foot decrease, but at that site the dam was replaced by a series of weirs to retain the upstream impoundment and allow fish passage.<br><br>Minimal differences were found between the water-surface elevations computed by the one- and two-dimensional models. The two-dimensional models, however, provide the additional benefit of detailed velocity and depth data throughout the channel at a resolution not possible with a one-dimensional model. These velocity and depth data allowed for assessment of the suitability for fish passage at the sites. Fish passage was improved at all the sites by removing the dams and retrofitting the culvert. Prolonged swim velocity criteria for selected fish species were maintained throughout three of the nine study sites, and burst swim velocity criteria were met at all study

Movement of landslides into the adjacent fjord displaced fjord water and generated a tsunami, which propagated out of Barry Arm. Rather than assuming an initial sea surface height, velocity, and location for the tsunami, we generated the tsunami directly using a model capable of simulating the dynamics of both water and landslide material. The fjord below most of the landslide source area was occupied by the Barry Glacier until about 2012; therefore, our direct simulation of tsunami generation by landslide motion required new topographic and bathymetric data, which was collected in 2020. The topographic data also constrained landslide geometries and volumes. We considered four scenarios based on two landslide volumes and two landslide mobilities—a more mobile, contractive landslide and a less mobile, noncontractive landslide. The larger of the two volumes is 689 × 10<sup>6</sup> cubic meters (m<sup>3</sup>)—larger than the volume estimate in a previous study—and reflects the largest plausible volume given current observational data. The considered scenario that generated the largest wave heights resulted in forecast wave heights of over 200 meters (m) in the northern part of Barry Arm, adjacent to the landslide source area and runup on the opposite fjord wall in excess of 500 m. Simulated wave heights in excess of 5 m in southern Barry Arm and in Harriman Fjord occurred within 10–15 minutes (min) of landslide motion. The simulated tsunami reached Whittier, Alaska, approximately 20 min after initial rapid landslide motion, with peak heights of just over 2 m in Passage Fjord, 500 m offshore Whittier, occurring 26 min after initial rapid motion. Time of peak wave heights was consistent with previous modeling. Although results are preliminary and can be refined with additional observations and analyses, they provide a refined assessment of the upper bound of the hazard presented by the Barry Arm landslides. The results herein support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Tsunami Warning Center mission to detect, forecast, and warn for tsunamis in Alaska.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/ofr20211071","usgsCitation":"Barnhart, K.R., Jones, R.P., George, D.L., Coe, J.A., and Staley, D.M., 2021, Preliminary assessment of the wave generating potential from landslides at Barry Arm, Prince William Sound, Alaska: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2021–1071, 28 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20211071.","productDescription":"Report: v, 28 p.;

We hypothesized that common low-rise lights pointing downward also affect the movement of nocturnal migrants. We predicted that birds in flight will react close to low-rise lights, and be attracted and grounded near light sources, with a stronger effect on juveniles during their autumn migration. We conducted a controlled longitudinal experiment with light-emitting diode floodlights and considered nearby structures that turn on lights at night. We analyzed 1501 high-resolution 3D nocturnal flight paths of free-flying migrants and diurnally captured 758–2009 birds around experimental lights during spring and autumn 2016, and spring 2017. We identified change points along flight paths where birds turned horizontally or vertically, and we considered these indicative of reactions. Flight paths with and without reactions were generally closer to our experimental site in spring than in autumn when the lights were on. Reactions were up to 40% more likely to occur in autumn than in spring depending on the threshold magnitude of turning angle. Reactions in spring were up to ∼60% more likely to occur at ∼35 m from the lights than at >1.5 km. In autumn, some vertical reactions were ∼40% more likely to occur at ∼50 m from the lights than at >2.2 km. Interactions between distance to lights and visibility or cloud cover were consistent with known effects of ALAN on nocturnal migrants. Under poor visibility, reactions were up to 50% more likely to occur farthest from structures in spring, but up to 60% more likely to occur closest to lights in autumn. Thus, the effects of ALAN on night-migrating land birds are not limited to bright lights pointing upward or lights on tall structures in urban areas. Diurnal capture rates of birds were not different when lights were on or off for either season. To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that low-rise lights pointing downward affect night-migrating birds. Although the interpreted reactions constitute subtle modifications in the linearity of flight paths, we discuss future work that could verify whether the protection of nocturnal migrants with lights-out programs would have greater impact if implemented beyond urban areas and include management of low-rise lights.","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford University Press","doi":"10.1093/icb/icab154","usgsCitation":"Cabrera-Cruz, S.A., Larkin, R.P., Gimpel, M.E., Gruber, J., Zenzal, T.J., and Buler, J.J., 2021, Potential effect of low-rise, downcast artificial lights on nocturnally migrating land birds: Integrative and Comparative Biology, v. 61, no. 3, p. 1216-1236, https://doi.org/10.1093/icb/icab154.","productDescription":"21 p.","startPage":"1216","endPage":"1236","ipdsId":"IP-127198","costCenters":[{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":451580,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1093/icb/icab154","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":394434,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"61","issue":"3","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-07-08","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cabrera-Cruz, Sergio A.","contributorId":271139,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Cabrera-Cruz","given":"Sergio","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":13359,"text":"University of Delaware","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":830948,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Larkin, Ronald P.","contributorId":187419,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Larkin","given":"Ronald","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":830949,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Gimpel, Maren E.","contributorId":271140,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gimpel","given":"Maren","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":56299,"text":"Washington College","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":830950,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Gruber, James G.","contributorId":271141,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Gruber","given":"James G.","affiliations":[{"id":56299,"text":"Washington College","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":830951,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Zenzal, Theodore J.

Waterborne gradient self-potential (SP) measurements are directly sensitive to water flow through riverbed sediments and can be used to infer exchange locations, direction (gain versus loss), scale, and relative changes, but to date applications to river corridor hydrology are limited. Numerical modeling and field experiments were therefore performed herein, each emphasizing waterborne gradient SP logging for identifying and locating focused vertical groundwater discharge (surface-water gain) and recharge (surface-water loss) in a river. Two and three-dimensional numerical models were constructed to simulate the polarities, appearances, and peak amplitudes of streaming-potential and electric-field anomalies on a riverbed and in the surface-water that were attributable to steady-state vertical fluxes of groundwater through high-permeability conduits in the riverbed. Effects of varied hydraulic length-scale of exchange and surface-water depth were tested through numerical modeling. Modeling results aided in data acquisition and interpretation for three repeated field experiments performed along a 1.5–2.0 km reach of the Quashnet River in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where focused, meter-scale groundwater discharges occur at discrete locations within otherwise ubiquitous and more diffuse groundwater upwelling conditions. Strong gradient SP anomalies were repeatedly measured in the Quashnet River at previously confirmed locations of focused groundwater discharge, showing the efficacy of waterborne gradient SP logging in identifying and characterizing groundwater/surface water exchange dynamics at multiple river network scales.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"EEGS","doi":"10.32389/JEEG20-066","usgsCitation":"Ikard, S., Briggs, M., and Lane, J.W., 2021, Investigation of scale-dependent groundwater/surface-water exchange in rivers by gradient self-potential logging: Numerical modeling and field experiments: Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics, v. 26, no. 2, 181 p., https://doi.org/10.32389/JEEG20-066.","productDescription":"181 p.","ipdsId":"IP-126186","costCenters":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":387675,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United  States","state":"Massachusetts","otherGeospatial":"Quashnet River","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -70.51935195922852,\n              41.57115075028995\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.5057907104492,\n              41.57115075028995\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.5057907104492,\n              41.59400643013302\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.51935195922852,\n              41.59400643013302\n            ],\n            [\n              -70.51935195922852,\n              41.57115075028995\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"26","issue":"2","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ikard, Scott 0000-0002-8304-4935","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8304-4935","contributorId":201775,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ikard","given":"Scott","affiliations":[{"id":583,"text":"Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":820533,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Briggs, Martin A. 0000-0003-3206-4132","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3206-4132","contributorId":257637,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Briggs","given":"Martin A.","affiliations":[{"id":486,"text":"OGW Branch of Geophysics","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":820534,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lane, John W. 0000-0002-3558-243X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3558-243X","contributorId":219742,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lane","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":820535,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

However, depending on local conditions and species’ sensitivity, the nature of these shifts can be highly variable and difficult to predict. Here, we examine how the American pika (<i>Ochotona princeps</i>), a philopatric, montane lagomorph, responds to climatic gradients at three spatial scales. Using mixed-effects modeling in an information-theoretic approach, we evaluated a priori model suites regarding predictors of site occupancy, relative abundance, and elevational-range retraction across 760 talus patches, nested within 64 watersheds across the Northern Rocky Mountains of North America, during 2017–2020. The top environmental predictors differed across these response metrics. Warmer temperatures in summer and winter were associated with lower occupancy, lower relative abundances, and greater elevational retraction across watersheds. Occupancy was also strongly influenced by habitat patch size, but only when combined with climate metrics such as actual evapotranspiration. Using a second analytical approach, acute heat stress and summer precipitation best explained retraction residuals (i.e., the relative extent of retraction given the original elevational range of occupancy). Despite the study domain occurring near the species’ geographic-range center, where populations might have higher abundances and be at lower risk of climate-related stress, 33.9% of patches showed evidence of recent extirpations. Pika-extirpated sites averaged 1.44℃ warmer in summer than did occupied sites. Additionally, the minimum elevation of pika occupancy has retracted upslope in 69% of watersheds (mean: 281&nbsp;m). Our results emphasize the nuance associated with evaluating species’ range dynamics in response to climate gradients, variability, and temperature exceedances, especially in regions where species occupy gradients of conditions that may constitute multiple range edges. Furthermore, this study highlights the importance of evaluating diverse drivers across response metrics to improve the predictive accuracy of widely used, correlative models.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/gcb.15793","usgsCitation":"Billman, P., Beever, E.A., McWethy, D.B., Thurman, L., and Wilson, K.C., 2021, Factors influencing distributional shifts and abundance at the range core of a climate-sensitive mammal: Global Change Biology, v. 27, no. 19, p. 4498-4515, https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15793.","productDescription":"18 p.","startPage":"4498","endPage":"4515","ipdsId":"IP-123267","costCenters":[{"id":107,"text":"Alaska Climate Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":451597,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15793","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":412400,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho, Montana","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -115.96912848281637,\n              47.81775925984073\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.96912848281637,\n              43.011789546894505\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.0932694765071,\n              43.011789546894505\n            ],\n            [\n              -111.0932694765071,\n              47.81775925984073\n            ],\n            [\n              -115.96912848281637,\n              47.81775925984073\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"27","issue":"19","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Billman, Peter D","contributorId":301821,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Billman","given":"Peter D","affiliations":[{"id":65350,"text":"Dept. of Earth Sciences, Montana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":862646,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Beever, Erik A. 0000-0002-9369-486X ebeever@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9369-486X","contributorId":2934,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Beever","given":"Erik","email":"ebeever@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[{"id":114,"text":"Alaska Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":862647,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"McWethy, Dave B.","contributorId":301822,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McWethy","given":"Dave","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":65350,"text":"Dept. of Earth Sciences, Montana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":862648,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Thurman, Lindsey 0000-0003-3142-4909","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3142-4909","contributorId":269425,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thurman","given":"Lindsey","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":481,"text":"Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":862649,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Wilson, Kenny C","contributorId":301823,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wilson","given":"Kenny","email":"","middleInitial":"C","affiliations":[{"id":36555,"text":"Montana State University","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":862650,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5}]}}

Research efforts have focused on the effects of winter tick infestation on moose survival and reproduction, but stress and nutritional responses to ticks and other stressors remain understudied. We examined the influence of several environmental factors on moose calf stress hormone metabolite concentrations and nutritional restriction in Vermont, USA. We collected 407 fecal and 461 snow urine samples from 84 radio-collared moose calves in the winters of 2017–2019 (January–April) to measure fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (fGCM) concentrations and urea nitrogen:creatinine (UN:C) ratios. We used generalized mixed-effects models to evaluate the influence of individual condition, winter ticks, habitat, climate and human development on stress and nutrition in calf moose. We then used these physiological data to build generalized linear models to predict calf winter survival. Calf fGCM concentrations increased with nutritional restriction and snow depth during adult winter tick engorgement. Calf UN:C ratios increased in calves with lighter weights and higher tick loads in early winter. Calf UN:C ratios also increased in individuals with home ranges composed of little deciduous forests during adult winter tick engorgement. Our predictive models estimated that winter survival was negatively related to UN:C ratios and positively related to fGCM concentrations, particularly in early winter. By late March, as winter ticks are having their greatest toll and endogenous resources become depleted, we estimated a curvilinear relationship between fGCM concentrations and survival. Our results provide novel evidence linking moose calf stress and nutrition, a problematic parasite and challenging environment and winter survival. Our findings provide a baseline to support the development of non-invasive physiological monitoring for assessing environmental impacts on moose populations.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Oxford Academic","doi":"10.1093/conphys/coab048","usgsCitation":"Rosenblatt, E., Debow, J., Blouin, J., Donovan, T.M., Murdoch, J., Creel,

These filamentous algal blooms (FABs) are sometimes associated with nutrient pollution in groundwater, but complex changes in climate, nutrient transport, lake hydrodynamics, and food web structure may also facilitate this emerging threat to clear lakes. A coordinated effort among members of the public, managers, and scientists is needed to document the occurrence of FABs, to standardize methods for measuring their severity, to adapt existing data collection networks to include nearshore habitats, and to mitigate and reverse this profound structural change in lake ecosystems. Current models of lake eutrophication do not explain this littoral greening. However, a cohesive response to it is essential for protecting some of the world's most valued lakes and the flora, fauna, and ecosystem services they sustain.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"American Institute of Biological Sciences","doi":"10.1093/biosci/biab049","usgsCitation":"Vadeboncoeur, Y., Moore, M.V., Stewart, S.D., Chandra,

The archaeological record includes physical features associated with human activity; these exist within ecological landscapes and provide a unique long-term perspective on human–environment interactions. The potential for fire-caused damage to archaeological materials is of major concern because these resources are irreplaceable and non-renewable, have social or religious significance for living peoples, and are protected by an extensive body of legislation. Although previous studies have modeled ecological burn severity as a function of environmental setting and climate, the fidelity of these variables as predictors of archaeological fire effects has not been evaluated.

To adequately assess these important changes, both oceanic (e.g., sea-level rise) and terrestrial (e.g., fluvial sediment supply) processes that govern the local sediment budget must be considered. Here, we present novel projections of shoreline change adjacent to 41 tidal inlets around the world, using a probabilistic, reduced complexity, system-based model that considers catchment-estuary-coastal systems in a holistic way. Under the RCP 8.5 scenario, retreat dominates (90% of cases) over the twenty-first century, with projections exceeding 100&nbsp;m of retreat&nbsp;in two-thirds of cases. However, the remaining systems are projected to accrete under the same scenario, reflecting fluvial influence. This diverse range of response compared to earlier methods implies that erosion hazards at inlet-interrupted coasts have been inadequately characterised to date. The methods used here need to be applied widely to support evidence-based coastal adaptation.</p></div></div>","language":"English","publisher":"Nature","doi":"10.1038/s41598-021-93221-9","usgsCitation":"Bamunawala, J., Ranasinghe, R., Dastgheib, A., Nichols, R..., Murray, A.B., Barnard, P.L., Sirisena, T.A., Duong, T.M., Hulscher, S.J., and van der Spek, A., 2021, Twenty-first-century projections of shoreline change along inlet-interrupted coastlines: Nature--Scientific Reports, v. 11, 14038, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-93221-9.","productDescription":"14038, 14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-126095","costCenters":[{"id":520,"text":"Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":451611,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-93221-9","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":387070,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"11","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-07-07","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bamunawala, Janaka","contributorId":228985,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Bamunawala","given":"Janaka","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":39272,"text":"University of Twente","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":818938,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ranasinghe, Roshanka","contributorId":247857,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ranasinghe","given":"Roshanka","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":49677,"text":"IHE Delft Institute for Water Education","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":818939,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Dastgheib, Ali","contributorId":228986,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dastgheib","given":"Ali","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":40834,"text":"IHE Delft","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":818940,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Nichols, Robert .J.","contributorId":260840,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Nichols","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":".J.","affiliations":[{"id":16617,"text":"University of East Anglia","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":818941,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Murray, A.

We found that IHNV persisted for a shorter time at warmer temperatures and resulted in an overall lower fish mortality compared to colder temperatures. These results support the hypothesis that temperature and host immune responses interact to modulate virus persistence within hosts. When immune responses were minimized (i.e., in vitro) virus replication was higher at warmer temperatures. However, with a full potential for host immune responses (i.e., in vivo experiments) longer virus persistence and higher long-term virulence was favored in colder temperatures. We also found that the viral RNA that persisted at later time points (179 and 270 days post-exposure) was mostly localized in the kidney and spleen tissues. These tissues are composed of hematopoietic cells that are favored targets of the virus. By partitioning the effect of temperature on host and pathogen responses, our results help to better understand environmental drivers of host–pathogen interactions within hosts, providing insights into potential host–pathogen responses to climate change.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"MDPI","doi":"10.3390/pathogens10070855","usgsCitation":"Paez, D.J., Powers, R., Jia, P., Ballesteros, N., Kurath, G., Naish, K.A., and Purcell, M.K., 2021, Temperature variation and host immunity regulate viral persistence in a salmonid host: Pathogens, v. 10, no. 7, 855, 18 p., https://doi.org/10.3390/pathogens10070855.","productDescription":"855, 18 p.","ipdsId":"IP-129038","costCenters":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":451619,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/pathogens10070855","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":436284,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P9T4PH4Z","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Survival, viral load and neutralizing antibodies in steelhead trout and cell cultures exposed to infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) at 3 temperatures"},{"id":387453,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"10","issue":"7","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2021-07-07","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Paez, David J.","contributorId":261396,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Paez","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":52838,"text":"School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":819959,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Powers, Rachel L. 0000-0001-6901-4361","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6901-4361","contributorId":190182,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Powers","given":"Rachel L.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":819960,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Jia, Peng","contributorId":191750,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Jia","given":"Peng","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":819961,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Ballesteros, Natalia","contributorId":261397,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ballesteros","given":"Natalia","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":52839,"text":"Department of Microbiology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham AL 35294, USA","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":819962,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Kurath, Gael 0000-0003-3294-560X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3294-560X","contributorId":220175,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kurath","given":"Gael","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":819963,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Naish, Kerry A. 0000-0002-3275-8778","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3275-8778","contributorId":201136,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Naish","given":"Kerry","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":819964,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Purcell, Maureen K. 0000-0003-0154-8433 mpurcell@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0154-8433","contributorId":168475,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Purcell","given":"Maureen","email":"mpurcell@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":819965,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}}

We completed four protocol surveys during the breeding season, supplemented by weekly territory monitoring visits. We identified a total of 161 territorial male vireos; 145 were confirmed as paired and 4 were confirmed as single males. For the remaining 12 territories, we were unable to confirm pair status. Three transient vireos were detected in 2020. The vireo population in the Project Area increased by 26 percent from 2019 to 2020. Vireo populations increased across San Diego County, with a 39-percent increase documented at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton (MCBCP); a 58-percent increase at Marine Corps Air Station; a 78-percent increase on the Otay River; and a 7-percent increase in the population on the middle San Luis Rey River.</div><div><br></div><div>We used an index of treatment (Treatment Index) to evaluate the impact of on-going vegetation clearing on the Project Area vireo population. The Treatment Index measures the cumulative effect of vegetation treatment within a territory (since 2005) by using the percent area treated weighted by the number of years since treatment. We found that the Treatment Index for unoccupied habitat was more than five times that of occupied habitat, indicating that vireos selected less disturbed habitat in which to settle.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus=\"1\"></div><div>We monitored vireo nests at three general site types: (1) within the flood channel where exotic and native vegetation removal has occurred regularly (Channel), (2) three sites next to the flood channel where limited exotic and native vegetation removal has occurred (Off-channel), and (3) three sites that have been actively restored by planting native vegetation (Restoration). Nesting activity was monitored in 100 territories, 4 of which were occupied by single males. Hatching success was higher in the Channel relative to the Off-channel. We found no other differences between Channel, Off-channel, and Restoration nests in terms of clutch size or fledging success. There also was no difference in measures of productivity per pair between Channel, Off-channel, Restoration, and Mixed territories (territories that were classified as one site type but nesting occurred in another site type, or where multiple site types were used for nesting). Overall, breeding success and productivity were lower in 2020 than in 2019, with 69 percent of pairs fledgling at least one young and pairs fledging an average of 2.1±1.7 young.<span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span><br></span></span></div><p>To investigate whether the cumulative years of treatment had an impact on vireo reproductive effort, we looked at the effects of the Treatment Index on reproductive parameters. Results from generalized linear models indicated that treatment did not have an effect on vireo nesting effort or the number of vireo fledglings per pair produced in 2020.<br></p><div>Similarly, our analysis of nest survival for 2020 revealed no effect of Treatment Index on daily survival rate. Analysis of vegetation data collected at vireo nests from 2006 to 2020 revealed that vegetation at 1–2 meters (m) from the ground was the most important predictor of daily survival rate.<br><br><div>There were differences in nest-placement characteristics among site types and successful/unsuccessful nests. Channel nests were placed higher in the vegetation than Off-channel or Restoration nests. Host plant height, distance to edge of host plant, and distance to edge of vegetation clump were greater at Channel sites compared with Off-channel sites, but were not different from Restoration sites. Within sites, we found only one difference between successful and unsuccessful nests. At Off-channel sites, successful nests were placed higher in the vegetation than unsuccessful nests.<br><br></div><div>Red/arroyo willow (<i>Salix laevigata</i> or <i>Salix lasiolepis</i>) and mule fat (<i>Baccharis salicifolia</i>) were the species most commonly selected for nesting by vireos in all 3 site types. Vireos used a wider variety of species for nesting in Channel and Off-channel sites (7 and 10 species, respectively) compared to Restoration sites (3 species).<br><br></div><div>Ninety-three vireos banded before the 2020 breeding season were resighted and identified at the Project Area in 2020, all of which were originally banded at the Project Area. Adult birds of known age ranged from 1 to 9 years old. A total of 171 vireos were newly banded in 2020.</div><div><br></div>Twenty-eight adult vireos were banded with a unique color combination, and 143 nestlings were banded with a single dark blue numbered federal band on the left leg. Between 2006 and 2020, survivorship of males (67±10 percent) was consistently higher than females (59±11 percent). First-year birds from 2006 to 2020 had an average over-winter survivorship of 17±5 percent. First-year dispersal in 2020 averaged 2.9±2.9 kilometers (km), with the longest dispersal (13.5 km) by a female that was recaptured at Las Flores Creek, MCBCP. From 2007 to 2012, most returning first-year vireos returned to the Project Area, whereas from 2013 to 2017, the majority of returning birds dispersed to areas outside of the Project Area. In 2018, the trend shifted, and most first-year vireos returned to the Project area. This trend continued in 2020 with most first-year vireos returning to the Project Area; 77 percent of all re-encountered first-year birds returned to the Project Area and 23 percent dispersed to areas outside of the Project Area (upstream to the middle San Luis Rey River and to drainages on MCBCP).</div><div><br data-mce-bogus=\"1\"></div><div>Most of the returning adult male vireos showed strong between-year site fidelity to their previous territories. Eighty percent of males (45/56) occupied a territory in 2020 that they had defended in 2019 (within 100 m). Thirty-three percent of females (2/6) detected in 2020 returned to a territory that they occupied in 2019. The average between-year movement for returning adult vireos was 0.1±0.5 km.<br><br></div><div>We completed four protocol surveys for the endangered Southwestern Willow Fycatcher (<i>Empidonax traillii extimus</i>; flycatcher) at the Project Area between May 20 and July 20, 2020. No Willow Flycatchers were detected in the Project Area in 2020.<br><br></div><div>A total of 46 vegetation transects (526 points) were sampled at the San Luis Rey Flood Risk Management Project Area in 2020. Seventy-one percent (376/526) of points were in the Channel and 22 percent (115/526) were at Upper Pond. The remaining 7 percent (35/526) were at the Whelan Restoration site. Foliage cover below 1 m was higher at the Channel points compared to Upper Pond and Whelan Restoration. Higher foliage cover in the Channel was attributed to the higher herbaceous component. However, foliage cover from 1 to 3 m was higher at the Whelan Restoration site compared to both Upper Pond and the Channel. Average canopy height was similar at all three site types and was 4.4 m or less. From 2006 to 2020, total foliage cover declined above 1 m in the Channel, from 4 to 5 m at Upper Pond, and above 8 m at Whelan Restoration. Within the Channel, the steepest declines occurred between 2009 and 2013 and between 2014 and 2016. Since 2016, we observed an increase in percent foliage between 0 and 2 m within the Channel, but for other height classes, percent cover remained below levels detected before 2009. Changes in cover at Upper Pond and Whelan Restoration appeared to be driven by the loss of tall tree cover. The vegetation mowing and treatment activities, in combination with lack of precipitation (especially between 2012 and 2016), may have contributed to the decline in foliage cover observed from 2006 to 2020.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus=\"1\"></div><div>We sampled vegetation at 49 vireo nests and 49 random plots (“territory” plots) within territories in the Channel and Upper Pond following the 2020 breeding season. Vireos in the Channel selected territories with significantly more foliage cover above 2 m but less cover below 1 m relative to the available habitat. In contrast, Channel vireos selected nest sites within their territories with lower foliage cover above 3 m and were non-selective with regard to cover below 2 m. Vireos at Upper Pond generally were less selective with regard to territory and nest sites but tended to select territories with more foliage cover from 1 to 2 m and above 8 m, and they selected nest sites within their territories with greater foliage cover from 0 to 1 m.</div>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston,
