Environmental Information Data Centre provides data on plastic particles extracted from sediment samples in three Thames tributaries. The dataset includes site characteristics, dry sediment weight, particle counts, and particle characteristics like shape, colour, and polymer type. Samples were collected from four sites between late August and early September 2014.
Faecal bacteria data for the River Wharfe and its tributaries in Yorkshire, collected from 2019 to 2021. The dataset includes measurements of E. coli and Intestinal enterococci concentrations from citizen science projects designed to assess sewage contamination and bathing water standards.
130369e1-d9c7-436c-bd0c-1ccde4844576 contains results from a three-year factorial experiment (2011-2013) testing biochar impacts on agricultural soil. The study measured ecosystem responses like net ecosystem exchange of carbon and plant biomass, alongside soil biological responses including microbial community structure and densities of nematodes and microarthropods. Data originates from a controlled mesocosm experiment at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology using soils from a farm near Dundee, UK.
Environmental Information Data Centre provides pairwise food web relationship data for three trophic groups: Fagaceae trees, Cynipid gallwasps, and parasitoid wasps. The dataset contains 9 tables detailing interactions between galls-trees, parasitoids-trees, and galls-parasitoids for two sites in Sichuan Province. Data was collected from individual tree-level surveys between November 2017 and June 2022 under a NERC Discovery grant.
UKCEH's dataset contains hydraulic and hydrological soil properties from the Thames catchment, collected in 2021. Measurements include soil dry bulk density, porosity, moisture, moisture retention, infiltration rates, and saturated hydraulic conductivity at depths up to 100 cm. Data were gathered at seven field sites representing three distinct land management groups under arable, grassland, and woodland use.
West Yorkshire farm data contains soil moisture, temperature, bulk density, and earthworm abundance and biomass measurements taken along transects from hedges into arable fields, pasture fields, and ley strips. Sampling was conducted annually from April 2015 to April 2017, with additional sampling in December 2015, July 2016, and October 2016. The data were collected by Miranda Prendergast-Miller and colleagues as part of the SoilBioHedge project funded by the NERC Soil Security Programme.
June to October 2019 data from a solardome experiment on two African crops (beans and sweet potato) exposed to three ozone levels. The dataset combines manually collected plant physiology, biomass, and yield measurements with automatically logged ozone concentration and meteorological variables. The work was part of the NERC-funded SUNRISE project.
Household economy data from 16 communities and 93 households in Uganda's Katakwi District, collected in December 2020. The dataset provides quantitative timelines for crop and fishing production activities throughout a typical agricultural year to support vulnerability analysis and livelihood impact modeling.
60 pieces of macrocharcoal from Amazon forest soils in Guyana, Peru, and Brazil were radiocarbon dated between 2015 and 2019. The data originates from terra-firme, non-flooded permanent plots within the RAINFOR network, supporting long-term ecosystem monitoring.
CEH Land Cover plus: Pesticides maps annual average pesticide applications across England, Wales and Scotland for 162 different active ingredients. It provides application estimates at a 1km resolution, averaged between 2012 and 2017, with units of kg active ingredient applied per year.
Monthly surveys recorded the cover and area of three aquatic macrophyte species across four transects on the River Lambourn from March 2009 to September 2014. The data provides estimates for the wetted channel area and plant coverage, focusing on Ranunculus penicillatus ssp. pseudofluitans, Callitriche platycarpa, and Berula erecta within a 600-meter river reach.
2022 survey data captures nitrogen use practices and economic factors for farming households in Nepal's Terai region. The dataset covers household characteristics, farm operations, crop production, fertilizer use, and income across two agricultural seasons. It was collected to assess nitrogen use efficiency and sustainable practice adoption.
Five field experiments from the NERC Rural Economy and Land Use programme investigated biological pest control techniques in UK cereal crops. Data collection occurred between 2005 and 2009, focusing on habitat manipulation and semiochemical odours as alternatives to insecticides. The research aimed to understand barriers to adopting integrated pest management strategies.
Field experiment data from 45 plots and 16 extra mini-plots at two UK research stations in 2017. Measurements include nitrogen offtake, ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions, soil parameters, and biomass production from winter wheat under various digestate and fertilizer treatments. The data was collected by Bangor University and Rothamsted Research for a BBSRC and NERC-funded nitrogen agronomy project.
Six tree species, including Inga laurina and Virola surinamensis, were monitored for growth responses to a 4-degree soil warming experiment on Barro Colorado Island. Data include relative growth rates, height change, herbivory index, photosynthesis measurements, leaf chlorophyll, and soil nutrient mineralization from 2016 to 2022. The dataset captures physiological and environmental parameters following three years of experimental warming.
Seventeen villages across three districts in Mozambique provide data on local tree names, species identification, and uses. Information was collected between 2014 and 2015 through field surveys, botanical identification, and community interviews. The dataset was compiled by the ACES project to study land use impacts on ecosystem services and rural wellbeing.
April to August 2017 data from a UK field experiment measures soil nitrogen genes, biodiversity indices, and microbial community composition across three soil depths. The study involved 15 plots per site at North Wyke and Henfaes Farm, with treatments including control, digestate, and acidified digestate. Soil chemical parameters like nitrate, ammonium, pH, and microbial biomass carbon were also recorded.
Environmental Information Data Centre provides global spatial data on yields of wheat, sugarcane, and maize at 0.25 and 0.5 degrees resolution. Annual yield data from 2000 to 2014 were extracted from agricultural statistics and spatially disaggregated to produce gridded maps per crop type.
2021-2022 data from 721 participants across 200 smallholder households in Jumla District, Nepal. The dataset integrates fortnightly dietary recalls, monthly anthropometry, and socio-economic surveys with ecological data on plant-pollinator interactions and flowering phenology. It was collected to understand diets, nutritional status, farming practices, and crop pollination in a rural Himalayan context.
Sabah, Malaysian Borneo survey of 40 smallholder oil palm farms (<50 ha) conducted from August to November 2019. The dataset details farm management practices, Fresh Fruit Bunch yields, understorey vegetation, and soil chemical properties like SOC, total N, and total P.
