Lack of environmental monitoring poses barriers to management for food-energy-water nexus in many communities across the world. Local and traditional knowledge of stakeholders in the community can be key to framing the decision problem for adaptive management of these under-monitored hyper-localized FEW nexus in these communities. This research examined the usefulness of the InterACTWEL participatory framing tool for co-production of a conceptual adaptive management model for agricultural water systems in a hyper-localized FEW nexus system...

Context The amount and composition of phytochemicals in forage plants influences habitat quality for wild herbivores. However, evaluating forage quality at fine resolutions across broad spatial extents (i.e., foodscapes) is challenging. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) provide an avenue for bridging this gap in spatial scale. Objectives We evaluated the potential for UAS technology to accurately predict nutritional quality of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) across landscapes. We mapped seasonal forage quality across two sites in Idaho, USA,...

The images used to make these data products were collected at and near Castle Rocks State Park, Idaho, in June 2021 and September 2021. We used a DJI Mavic 2 Pro with Map Pilot Pro software to capture imagery over four sites of interest. The imagery was collected in a crossgrid pattern at 40m above ground level; the resulting imagery have a ground resolution of 1cm/pixel. The images were processed and the products created in...

The images used to make these data products were collected at Duncan Saddle, approximately one hour south of Mountain Home, Idaho, in August 2021. We used a DJI Mavic 2 Pro with Map Pilot Pro software to capture imagery over the area of interest. The imagery was collected in a crossgrid pattern at 44m above ground level; the resulting imagery have a ground resolution of 1cm/pixel. The images were processed and the products created in...

Forests mitigate climate change by sequestering massive amounts of carbon, but recent increases in wildfire activity are threatening carbon storage. Currently, our understanding of wildfire impacts on forest resilience and the mechanisms controlling post-fire recovery remains unresolved due to a lack of empirical data on mature trees in natural settings. Here, we quantify the physiological mechanisms controlling carbon uptake immediately following wildfire in mature individuals of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), a wide-spread and canopy-dominant tree...

UV-Vis spectroscopic titration studies of ATF ligands 6, 8 and 10 with Cu salts were prepared as follows: ligand solutions were prepared to 1.45 x 10-4 M in acetonitrile. 1.2 mL of ATF solution was added to a quartz cuvette. Titrations were performed with Cu halide salts and [N(Bu4)2(µ-I)-Cu2I4] utilizing 1.35 mM stock solutions in acetonitrile and sequentially adding 13 µL (roughly 0.1 equivalent of metal salt) until reaching a metal salt concentration of three...

This collaboration plan and protocols establish the ground rules for how we work together in a large team-based collaborative science project. This version is intended to support the proposal development and writing phases of the Idaho NSF RII Track-1 through to final submission to the National Science Foundation (NSF). The plan and protocols support knowledge sharing and generation in this large multi-institution, team-based science project. These protocols are intended to support both internal collaborations (BSU-ISU-UI)...

This data set includes raw RGB (red, green, blue) and multispectral (5-band) digital imagery and processed data products collected 2022-06-10 at the 2007-COLD wildfire boundary (FireCode: ID4311811531420070801, Welty and Jeffries 2020) due east of Mountain Home Idaho and due north of Glenns Ferry Idaho, approximately one hour southeast of Boise Idaho off Interstate-84. We used a DJI Mavic 2 Pro with Hasselblad 20MP sensor (RGB) with Map Pilot Pro software and DJI Phantom 4 Multispectral...

This data set includes three-years (2020-2022) of demographic (survival, growth, reproduction) data, one-year of allometric data, and seed germination data over a three-year period for Camassia quamash at the Camas Prairie Centennial Marsh near Hill City, Idaho, USA. The three-year data set also includes individual-level annual measurements of soil moisture, C. quamash percent cover, percent cover of all live vegetation, and percent cover of surrounding non-native Alopecurus arundinaceus biomass and necromass. The data was collected...

This document shows a workflow to complete image processing and photogrammetry, also known as structure-from-motion. To process our projects, we used the WebODM versions 2.8.4 to 2.8.8 Native Windows Application. The first part of the workflow follows the flow for an RGB sensor to extract products such as an orthomosaic, digital elevation model, and 3-dimensional point cloud. The workflow assumes the use of ground control points collected in the field and visible in the imagery,...

This data series contains 336 temporal datasets. These data are are climate model outputs, primarily precipitation and temperature. They have been bias-corrected and spatially downscaled (BCSD) to 12-km by Maurer et al. (2007) using the CMIP3 climate model data. These monthly products are available from this link (http://gdo-dcp.ucllnl.org/downscaled_cmip3_projections/) which we temporally disaggregated to a daily time step using the Delta method. This temporal disaggregation involved the following steps. This included a random picking of a...

The following description is the calculation of daily total residue loads using the non-parametric smearing method, see references below. 15 minute interval stages were converted to discharge values using the rating curve equation developed by T. LaCroix. (1) Daily loads were calculated by multiplying measured total residue (TR) concentrations by the corresponding discharge values (both occurring at 15:00). (2) The natural log of daily TR loads was then plotted as a function of the natural...

Fish specimen records from 1957 to 2011 for the Portneuf Drainage Basin were compiled and georeferenced to create dot-distribution maps for each fish species. The fish occurrence records were obtained from the Idaho Museum of Natural History specimens collected by various researchers and ichthyology classes from 1957 to 1981. The fish riverine surveys were collected by the Region 5 office of Idaho Department of Fish and Game [1991 to 2011] by electrofishing method*. These fish...

Pocatello, Idaho historical orthomosaic for 1968 was created by collecting, scanning, merging and georectifying historic photography of Pocatello. The total spatial error is less than 1 meter. These historical orthomosaic images were derived using SfM (Structure-from-motion photogrammetry). SfM uses a series of overlapping images aligned to form a 3D representation. Classification resulted in raster and vector data with discrete classes grouped into objects located in the urban corridor of Pocatello. High-resolution aerial photography of the...
