Dataset for "Long-term monitoring and remote sensing reveal waterbird colony collapses with rising lake-levels and multiple stressors"

This dataset includes the updated R code, data, and spatial datasets related to the manuscript "Long-term monitoring and remote sensing reveal waterbird colony collapses with rising lake-levels and multiple stressors". Black tern (Chlidonias niger) nesting location and success data were collected at the Lake St. Clair Flats region through Detroit Bird Alliance from 2013 to 2020. Water depth was collected using 3-m resolution bathymetry from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management Lake Level Viewer Dataset and surface water levels from the NOAA Huron Erie Connecting Waterways Forecasting System (HECWFS) model. Geospatial habitat variables were collected from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP), commercial satellites (Kompsat-2, Triplesat-3, WorldView-2 and 3), and Planet Images (Rapideye-5 and PlanetScope). Data are in raster, shapefile, and csv formats. Analysis and dataset details are described in the associated manuscript.
