The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Agricultural Nitrogen Inputs

Description

This dataset represents the application of nitrogen within individual,  local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds based data published in EPA EnviroAtlas. Attributes were calculated for every local NHDPlusV2 catchment and accumulated to provide watershed-level metrics. These data are based on county-scale estimates of N in the form of fertilizer, manure, or cultivated biological nitrogen fixation. The rasters used for this analysis were prepared for EnviroAtlas published datasets on agricultural nitrogen inputs. Links to data in each raster can be found in Data Sources below. The nitrogen characteristics (kg N/ha/yr) were summarized to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a continuous data type.

2 StreamCat currently contains over 600 metrics that include local catchment (Cat), watershed (Ws), and special metrics. The special metrics were derived through modeling or by combining other StreamCat metrics. These variables include predicted water temperature, predicted biological condition, and the indexes of catchment and watershed integrity. See Geospatial Framework and Terms below for definitions of catchment and watershed as used with the StreamCat Dataset. These metrics are available for ~2.65 million stream segments and their associated catchments across the conterminous US. StreamCat metrics represent both natural (e.g., soils and geology) and anthropogenic (e.g, urban areas and agriculture) landscape information. https://www.epa.gov/national-aquatic-resource-surveys/streamcat-dataset
