Item All-Terrain Vehicle Use on the North Shore State Trail: A Feasibility Study(2006-03-01) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesThis study assesses the physical capacity of the North Shore State Trail (NSST) on a 6.4 mile segment to accommodate summer season ATV use. The principal environmental concern noted is potential impact on surface waters and wetlands, especially where the trail crosses protected waters. Of special concern are trout streams and their tributaries and wetlands. Summer season ATV use poses greater risk than all other trail users because of unfrozen conditions and mechanical disturbance to soils. The study finds that the NSST could be capable of supporting summer season ATV use but that modifications would be required throughout the entire length of the trail. Costs of such modifications are estimated at $577,000. The trail in its current condition is not capable of supporting summer season ATV use except where ATV use is already permitted.Item Data and R code for analysis of mercury concentration and food web differences in walleye and yellow perch from Minnesota lakes with and without invasive zebra mussels, 2019 - 2021(2023-02-24) Blinick, Naomi S; Ahrenstorff, Tyler D; Bethke, Bethany J; Fleishman, Abram B; Link, Denver; Nelson, Jenna KR; Rantala, Heidi M; Rude, Claire L; Hansen, Gretchen JA; nsblinick@gmail.com; Blinick, Naomi S; University of Minnesota Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, Conservation Biology; Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesThis dataset contains δ13C and δ15N stable isotope data for 3,765 biological samples (fish, littoral macroinvertebrates, and zooplankton) collected from 21 lakes between 2019 and 2021, collaboratively by the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. In addition, 403 samples have corresponding mercury data, based on laboratory analyses conducted by USGS (Tate et al. 2022).Item Data in support of: Quantifying resilience of coldwater habitat to climate and land use change to prioritize watershed conservation(2021-08-06) Hansen, Gretchen JA; Wehrly, Kevin E; Vitense, Kelsey; Walsh, Jacob R; Jacobson, Peter C; ghansen@umn.edu; Hansen, Gretchen; University of Minnesota Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, Conservation Biology; Minnesota Department of Natural Resources; Michigan Department of Natural ResourcesData for 12,450 lakes in the Upper Midwestern United States used to predict coldwater, oxygenated habitat and how it is predicted to change under scenarios of climate and land use change. Specific fields include lake size, depth, watershed landuse, air temperature characteristics, and presence of the coldwater fish Cisco (Coregonus artedi). Also included are projected air temperatures under mid-Century conditions for each lake.Item Minnesota State Water Trails History(2009) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesThis report is a brief four-page history of the state water trails and public access program, centering mainly on the 1960s and 1970s. The main focus is on the Minnesota and Saint Croix rivers. No specific mention is made of Minnesota's coastal region.Item Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1987(1987-08) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1988(1988-06) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1989(1989-10) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1991(1991-04) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1992(1992-06) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1993(1993-08) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1994(1994-01) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1995(1995-01) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1997(1997-11) Minnesota Department of Natural Resources; Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1998(1998-02) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 1999(1999-04) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 2000(2000-12) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 2001(2001-03) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 2002(2002-08) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 2003(2003-09) Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesItem Minnesota's Forest Resources Report 2004(2004-09) Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
