NOAA-20 VIIRS provides three key vegetation indices—NDVI, EVI, and EVI2—by selecting the best pixel over a 16-day period at 500-meter resolution. This product is designed to continue the long-term Earth Observation System mission, building on the MODIS legacy. Alongside the indices, it includes reflectance bands for NIR, SWIR, red, blue, and green, plus composite day, pixel reliability, and view geometry layers.
Global satellite-derived vegetation indices are provided at a 0.05-degree resolution, composited from the best available pixels over 16-day periods. The dataset contains three primary indices—NDVI, EVI, and EVI2—alongside associated reflectance bands, quality layers, and statistical measures. It is designed to continue the long-term Earth Observation System (EOS) mission, succeeding similar MODIS products.
Global satellite data provides monthly vegetation indices at a 1-kilometer resolution. The dataset includes three primary indices—Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), and Enhanced Vegetation Index-2 (EVI2)—alongside reflectance bands and quality assurance layers. It is produced from NOAA-20 and NOAA-21 satellite sensors to ensure continuity of long-term Earth observation.
NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP VIIRS Vegetation Indices (VNP13C1) Version 2 provides three key vegetation indices—NDVI, EVI, and EVI2—derived from a 16-day best-pixel composite at a 0.05-degree resolution. The dataset includes 18 variables such as reflectance bands, standard deviations, and quality layers to support continuity with the MODIS mission. It is designed for monitoring global vegetation dynamics, plant phenology, and canopy cover.
Raw data and analysis code supporting a 2026 manuscript on pheromone signaling in a flexibly social insect. The repository includes files in MD, R, XLSX, and TXT formats, totaling 215.4 KB. It was authored by Callum Kingwell and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Dataset for manuscript titled 'Ecosystem services in agriculture: How can annual plant mixes support pollinator populations?' contains pollinator visitation rates recorded in replicated field trials in Serbia and the United Kingdom during 2022 and 2023. The data was collected by Filip Franeta and includes counts for major insect groups like bees, hoverflies, and butterflies across five annual plant treatments. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-27.
Max Hoekstra created an interactive HTML map visualizing the global distribution of reported mycetoma cases. The underlying dataset was compiled by Van de Sande and Fahal in 2024. The map allows filtering by eumycetoma or actinomycetoma cases and displays country-level case counts on hover.
Microfossil assemblage from shales in the McMinn Formation of the Roper Group, Australia, dated to approximately 1300 million years ago. The dataset includes algal cells, filaments, large acritarchs, and giant filaments, preserved with low thermal metamorphism. Geochemical studies indicate the organic matter composition is appropriate for oil generation.
Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder survey data measuring zooplankton communities as a guide to ocean health. The project is a joint effort between CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere and the Australian Antarctic Division, funded by the Integrated Marine Observing System. Data is available in binned products suitable for time series analysis, with specific codes for species absences.
Interpretation of key seismic profiles around the Australian margin shows three principal rift-drift segments with distinct architecture. The dataset, from Geoscience Australia, describes the northwestern, western, southern, and eastern margins, detailing their polyphase rift histories, basin formation mechanisms, and structural differences. The description includes specific geological measurements, such as rift widths ranging from about 350 km to no more than 100 km.
A cartographic tool updated on May 17, 2022, the CRHQ integrates ecological information on Quebec's aquatic ecosystems to support decision-making. It provides a hierarchical framework for mapping and characterizing ecosystems based on governing processes, including aquatic ecological units (AEUs) and data on hydro-geomorphology, hydraulics, and physico-chemistry. The dataset is provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
A dataset containing between- and within-site similarity metrics for two Australian reserves, Hidden Vale and Grandchester. It is based on insect sonotype richness and four acoustic indices calculated from audio clips recorded over five non-consecutive summer nights. The dataset was authored by Felipe do Carmo Jorge and last updated on May 15, 2026.
Twelve sites provided nocturnal soundscape recordings used to model sonotype richness against acoustic indices. The dataset contains Generalized Linear Models relating acoustic activity, evenness, spectral entropy, and soundscape saturation to total biophony and insect richness. Author Felipe do Carmo Jorge published the 5.5 KB Excel file on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, last updated in May 2026.
55 species of plant microfossils were recovered from Lower Carboniferous sediments in four boreholes from the Bonaparte Gulf Basin. The palynological flora is dominated by the species Granulatisporites frustulentus, which accounts for 44-83 percent of spore populations. This dataset from Geoscience Australia documents the well-preserved assemblages, including one new genus, Exallospora, and confirms a Visean age for the sediments.
Whole-genome and morphological data for Camarhynchus tree finches, a clade of Darwin's finches, to study speciation and phenotypic evolution. The dataset, 2.6 GB in size, was authored by Matteo Sebastianelli and last updated in May 2026. It includes files in XLSX, TXT, TSV, and phylogenetic formats (NEXUS, TREES).
Gross ecosystem product (GEP) increased from CNY 1.68 trillion in 2000 to CNY 2.10 trillion in 2020 in Guizhou Province, China. The data quantifies GEP across karst, sub-karst, and non-karst zones for three time points and analyzes spatial patterns and drivers. It was authored by Shibin Ma and last updated on figshare in May 2026.
A 2026 study by Ruqiya Seegenahallah characterizes 25 Lysinibacillus sphaericus bacterial strains for their potential as biocontrol agents against the fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. The dataset includes morphological, genetic, and enzymatic activity profiles, with specific inhibition rates for a leading strain. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.
Boreal forest sites in North America were surveyed to measure ground coverage by understory vegetation species. The dataset contains percent ground coverage values for plant species under one meter in height, averaged across five plots within each of 63 sites (32 quaking aspen, 31 black spruce). It was collected to support the development of methodologies linking forest stand characteristics to remotely sensed observations.
From 2012 to 2014, researchers from Plymouth Marine Laboratory assessed the response of benthic microbial communities to a controlled sub-seabed CO2 release in Ardmucknish Bay, Oban, Scotland. The dataset includes quantitative PCR measurements of bacterial, archaeal, and cyanobacteria/chloroplast 16S rRNA genes, as well as genes and transcripts related to nitrification, across four sampling zones and six time points. It was created under the NERC-funded QICS program to monitor the environmental impacts of geological carbon storage.
Australia's intertidal zone is mapped at a 10-meter resolution using Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellite data. The product suite provides annual continental-scale elevation and exposure data. It is produced by Digital Earth Australia, part of Geoscience Australia.
