The purpose of the data package is to present the results of calculations of the following unsaturated-saturated hydraulic parameters of soils of the East River Watershed, Colorado: fully saturated water content (Qs), residual saturation (Qr), van genuchten parameters alpha and n, field capacity (FC

This map is a soil moisture proxy derived from analysis of the UG 1m hydrologically corrected digital elevation model. The intuition behind this map is that areas that have flat topography and are near the elevation of local streams are likely to have high soil moisture. This index builds on the wor

This is a 1m resolution aerial imagery orthomosaic resampled from 0.6m 4-band orthoimagery collected on September 14th 2019 as part of the USDA National Aerial Imagery Program. The original NAIP tiles were reprojected, mosaiced and bilinearly resampled to the standard UG 1m grid, and compressed usin

This is a 1m resolution map of Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from resampled 0.6m 4-band orthoimagery collected as part of the USDA National Aerial Imagery Program. The NAIP tiles were mosaiced and bilinearly resampled to the standard UG 1m grid before calculating NDVI as (N

This is a 3m resolution binary map representing areas within the Upper Gunnison Domain of the RMBL Spatial Data Platform.

This is a 1m resolution binary map representing areas within the Upper Gunnison Domain of the RMBL Spatial Data Platform.

This is 1 meter resolution landcover map developed for the RMBL Spatial Data Platform. Source datasets include 2017 and 2019 4-band imagery from the National Aerial Imagery Program, and 2019 LiDAR data collected by Quantum Geospatial for the Colorado Hazard Mapping Program. The numeric codes for the

This is a 1 m resolution map of topographic slope (measured in degrees) computed using a 3*3 pixel kernel and Horn's formula. It is derived from a 1m resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the Upper Gunnison River derived from public LiDAR datasets. The primary data source was a 2019 LiDAR col

This is a 1 m resolution map of the relative "westness" of topographic aspect, computed from the cosine of the topographic aspect using the equation: cos(aspect_radians) * -1 Where the aspect is computed clockwise with east having a value of 0. In this map, east-facing aspects have a value of -1 and

A chronosequence study of permanent plots spanning 45 years on a 70-year-old subalpine earthflow in south-western Colorado suggests that it is the severe microclimate of the earthflow which is limiting further colonization of the site.

We studied the feeding and positioning periodicity on natural substrates of the overwintering and fast-growing summer generations of a grazing mayfly, Baetis bicaudatus, in a third-order trout stream and a fishless, first-order tributary in western Colorado. At 4-h intervals over 24-h, we recorded t

Results of three years of study on the host plant affiliations of two lycaenid butterfly species (Lycaenidae) suggest that differences between the two butterflies in host plant range, plant tissue oviposited on by adults and consumed by larvae, larval growth rates, and adult flight season may be con
