We are living in a period of unprecedented global change where even the most remote areas of the planet are influenced by the activities of man. Modern landscapes have been highly modified to accommodate a growing human population that is forecast to peak at 9.1 billion by 2050. Over this past century, human reliance on goods and services from ecosystems has greatly increased and sustainability of our modern and intensively managed ecosystems has been a topic of serious national and international concern. Not surprisingly, sustainability of ecosystems has become an explicitly stated goal of many agencies and, in some cases, has been legislatively mandated to ensure the provisioning of resources for future generations....

Collection of orthorectified images from aerial photograph of wetlands at the U.S. Geological Survey's Cottonwood Lake Study Area, Stutsman County, North Dakota. This collection of images was acquired during July and early August from 1975 to 2015. Aerial photographs of wetlands in the Cottonwood Lake Study Area were collected in order to facilitate a better understanding of the influence of natural climate variability on the vegetation of prairie wetland ecosystems.

This data release includes sampling location data, field-collected wetland attribute data, field-collected water chemistry data, laboratory-processed water chemistry data (anions, cations, alkalinity, nutrients, chlorophyll a concentrations, dissolved organic carbon, and specific ultraviolet absorbance, pesticide concentrations), dry mass of adult aquatic insects emerging from the surface of the wetlands, taxonomic classifications of the insects collected, and whole-body pesticide concentrations for adult aquatic insects emerging from wadeable wetlands in cropland and grassland landscapes across a salinity/hydrology gradient (N = 14 wetlands in 2015, N = 15 wetlands in 2016). Sampling was completed in late spring,...
Wetlands occur along gradients of hydrologic and ecological connectivity and isolation, even within wetland types (e.g., forested, emergent marshes) and functional classes (e.g., ephemeral systems, permanent systems, etc.). Within a given watershed, the relative positions of wetlands and open-waters along these gradients influence the type and magnitude of their chemical, physical, and biological effects on down-gradient waters. In addition, the ways in which wetlands connect to the broader hydrological landscape, and the effects of such connectivity on down-gradient waters, depends largely upon climate, geology, and relief, the heterogeneity of which expands with increasing scale. Developing an understanding of...

This dataset contains a bare earth digital elevation model (DEM), with a 0.5-square-meter (m2) cell size, of the Cottonwood Lake Study Area, Stutsman County, North Dakota. The DEM was based primarily on airborne lidar data acquired by Fugro Horizons of Rapid City, South Dakota, and made into a DEM by USGS personnel using the ArcGIS extension LP360 (QCoherent Software, 2013). Additional DEM processing to incorporate the bathymetry of study wetlands was done using survey-grade global positioning system (GPS) data collected by soundings of the bottom of each wetland. Through these steps, a continuous elevation model representing both the surrounding uplands and wetland basins was produced for the site (Mushet and Scherff...

In response to the need to quantify ecosystem services influenced by federal restoration programs in the PPR, we conducted an extensive survey of restored wetlands and adjacent uplands in 1997 and 2004. These initial surveys provided basic quantitative relationships and point-in-time estimates of ecosystem services derived from Interior and USDA conservation programs. Largely a result of the success of this preliminary work, the USGS initiated its Integrated Landscape Modeling (ILM) Science Thrust in 2006. The ILM Science Thrust included a pilot project in the prairie pothole region of the northern Great Plains (ILM—Prairie Pilot). The ILM—Prairie Pilot explored the feasibility of creating an integrated landscape...

The ILM community includes researchers from the USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center (NPWRC). The ScienceBase community space will be used to catalog and aggregate important information resouces for the ILM, including data derived from associated long-term projects. Web services may be used to provide cataloged information to other applications, including websites and visualization tools.
Abstract We describe a collection of aquatic and wetland habitats in an inland landscape, and their occurrence within a terrestrial matrix, as a “freshwater ecosystem mosaic” (FEM). Aquatic and wetland habitats in any FEM can vary widely, from permanently ponded lakes, to ephemerally ponded wetlands, to groundwater‐fed springs, to flowing rivers and streams. The terrestrial matrix can also vary, including in its influence on flows of energy, materials, and organisms among ecosystems. Biota occurring in a specific region are adapted to the unique opportunities and challenges presented by spatial and temporal patterns of habitat types inherent to each FEM. To persist in any given landscape, most species move to recolonize...

Geographically Isolated Wetlands (GIWs) occur along gradients of hydrologic and ecological connectivity and isolation, even within wetland types (e.g., forested, emergent marshes) and functional classes (e.g., ephemeral systems, permanent systems, etc.). Within a given watershed, the relative positions of wetlands and open-waters along these gradients influence the type and magnitude of their chemical, physical, and biological effects on downgradient waters. In addition, the ways in which GIWs connect to the broader hydrological landscape, and the effects of such connectivity on downgradient waters, depends largely upon climate, geology, and relief, the heterogeneity of which expands with increasing scale. Developing...

The Missouri Coteau Wetland Ecosystem Observatory is dedicated to increasing knowledge of prairie wetland ecosystems and how they function in the face of climate and land-use change. The observatory is located in the heart of the North American Prairie Pothole Region, a region known for its productivity in terms of both agricultural commodities and wildlife (especially waterfowl). At the core of the observatory is the Cottonwood Lake Study Area. The Cottonwood Lake Study Area encompasses a complex of 17 wetlands and is internationally recognized for its research and long-term data assets that extend back to the mid-1960s. Research conducted at the study area has greatly advanced humanity’s knowledge of wetland ecosystem...
