Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey’s SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) for the Southeastern United States was used to simulate changes in total nitrogen, total phosphorus and suspended sediment load in streams under two scenarios: (1) where all forests are urbanized and (2) where all forests are urbanized and runoff is adjusted based on a non-forested landscape. This data release includes model input not published with the original model and used for scenario simulations, and model output for total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and suspended sediment under baseline conditions, scenario (1), and scenario (2). Original model input, output, and shapefiles are available (Roland and Hoos, 2020, https://https://doi.org/10.5066/p9a682gw) [...]

Purpose

This USGS data release contains model input not published with the original model and used for scenario simulations and all output files needed to reproduce the model scenarios described in the metadata. See Hoos and Roland (2019) for detailed description of original model development. See Roland and Hoos (2020) for original input data and shapefiles of model area. Model input and output text files provided here can be linked (via the 'COMID' attribute) to the shapefiles for displaying data as maps.
