This geodatabase contains the official boundary of the Southeast Aquatic Resource Partnership with State Boundaries. The boundary was originally developed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and was updated in 2020 to reflect revisions from the Southeast Aquatic Resource Partnership, a recognized Fish Habitat Partnership (FHP) of the National Fish Habitat Partnership.

This dataset represents a potential indicator to be used in spatial analyses to assess riparian condition for the Southeastern United States. It is a table of values representing the square meters of each land cover type (NLCD 2016) present in the floodplain boundary (EPA enviroatlas 100 year) within NHDPlus medium resolution catchments identified by FEATUREID. In addition to square meters of land cover type, the percent of the total floodplain containing natural land cover (as determined by land cover classes 11, 12, 31, 41, 42, 43, 51, 52, 71, 72, 73, 74 90, and 95) and disturbed land cover (as determined by land cover class values 21, 22, 23, 24, 81, 82) is calculated.

The Implications of Stream Fragmentation for Climate Change Resilience of Northern Prairie Fishes
Dry stream sections are characteristic of most prairie streams. Native fish are highly adapted to variable environments, using refuge habitats (e.g., remaining wet stream fragments) to recolonize areas after seasonal drying. However, dams and other barriers can prevent recolonization of seasonally-dry stream sections habitats known to be critical spawning and rearing areas for many species. This phenomenon will likely become more common as climate change causes increasingly severe droughts, and larger sections of streams become seasonally dry. This could lead to local loss of native prairie fishes, an already at-risk group. Fisheries managers in Wyoming and Montana have limited data on climate impacts to prairie...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
