A technical report compares Aerochem airborne sampling with conventional hand-sampling for stream sediment geochemistry. The comparison test was performed in August 2015 in the Kluane area of Yukon, with three samples collected from each of 68 sites. Digital appendices include maps, assay results, principal component analysis, certificates, a project log, and photos.
The dataset provides global vegetation indices from the Suomi NPP satellite's VIIRS sensor, composited over 16-day periods at a 1-kilometer resolution. It includes three key indices: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), and Enhanced Vegetation Index-2 (EVI2), alongside reflectance data and ancillary layers. This Version 1 product was decommissioned on April 8, 2025, and users are directed to use Version 2 for better calibration and consistency.
Version 1 of this VIIRS/NPP vegetation index product was decommissioned on April 8, 2025. It provides monthly, global vegetation indices derived from a best-pixel compositing process at a 1-kilometer spatial resolution. The dataset includes three primary vegetation indices—Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), and Enhanced Vegetation Index-2 (EVI2)—alongside reflectance bands and quality assurance layers.
New South Wales Flora Reserves boundaries created by Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW). The dataset is derived from NSW Department of Finance, Spatial Services cadastre, survey data, and descriptions from individual Flora Reserve dedications published in the NSW government gazette. It was last updated on 2026-05-13.
Australian estuaries contain spatial data on submerged vegetation used to calculate Index of Estuarine Condition scores. The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action created this dataset by ground-truthing field data against aerial imagery from 2010 onward, with most imagery captured after 2015. It includes vegetation-coverage classes and classification confidence levels.
Geoscience Australia's Marine Survey 282 report integrates geophysical and biological data from the Arafura Sea. It confirms microbial shallow gas in Holocene mud-filled channels and identifies deeper migrating gas sources, correlating pockmark field density (~350/km2) with sediment type and fluid supply. The survey also maps benthic habitats, finding high biodiversity on hard substrates with sessile benthos up to ~50cm tall, while soft substrates show low-relief coverage (<5%).
NASA's dataset contains monthly and seasonal measurements from a water-limited ecosystem in Baja California, Mexico, collected between August 2011 and August 2012. It includes soil CO2 efflux, water content, temperature, porosity, bulk density, nitrogen and carbon content, alongside vegetation properties like leaf area index and biomass. This dataset provides a detailed, time-bound snapshot of soil-vegetation-atmosphere interactions in a semi-arid region.
High-resolution multibeam and satellite-derived bathymetry data map seafloor geomorphology in the shallow coastal waters of Antarctica's Vestfold Hills. This physical framework provides a baseline for understanding benthic community distribution, particularly macroalgae and invertebrate habitats vulnerable to sea ice-driven regime shifts. The data was presented at the 2023 POLAR 2018 A SCAR & IASC Conference.
January through September 2021 data delineates the Mississippi River Delta landscape into distinct ecogeomorphic cells. NASA's Delta-X campaign produced this dataset for the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins in Louisiana, characterizing cells by vegetation spectral signatures and elevation. Data is provided as shapefiles and GeoTIFFs with a spatial resolution of approximately 5 meters.
Over 95% of England's saltmarsh extent has been mapped to zonation level using aerial photography from 2016-2024. The dataset, produced by the Environment Agency and Natural England, includes layers for extent, zonation, and change compared to a 2006-2009 baseline. It provides evidence of accretion and erosion for ecological monitoring and coastal risk management.
3.6 MB of experimental data from a study on the type VII secretion system in Streptococcus agalactiae strain HN016. The dataset includes transcriptomic analyses, qRT-PCR results, and phenotypic assays for an essC deletion mutant, published by Li Fengyang in 2026. It contains files in TIF, JPG, and XLSX formats.
Cellular activities, including proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and migration rates per day. The dataset is a 5.5 KB XLS file authored by Adel Alshammari and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare. It was last updated on 2026-05-28.
Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs) are polygon features representing wildlife habitats in the London Borough of Barnet. These sites are non-statutory designations intended for protection through the local planning process and are classified hierarchically as Metropolitan, Borough Grade I, Borough Grade II, or Local. Outside London, equivalent areas are known as Local Wildlife Sites.
ISLSCP II C4 Vegetation Percentage provides a global dataset mapping the percentage of C4 photosynthetic vegetation per grid cell. It was compiled by the International Satellite Land-Surface Climatology Project Initiative II from multiple sources including plant growth form distributions, climate data, cropland coverage, and national crop statistics. The data collection covers the ten-year period from 1986 to 1995 and has undergone two peer reviews.
189 samples from seedlings and mature Taeniophyllum marianense orchids collected across 10 sites in Guam. The dataset identifies 15 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of orchid mycorrhizal fungi and was published by Michael Fernandez in 2026. It supports research on mycorrhizal specificity and island colonization.
78 viromes, 16S rRNA gene, and ITS1 amplicon datasets, plus 33 rhizosphere metatranscriptomes collected over a tomato growing season in California. The dataset includes 67,038 DNA viral species genomes (vOTUs) and examines the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi treatment. It was authored by Lucie Stern and last updated on 2026-04-22.
An experimental dataset from two grassland restoration studies in Wyoming and California testing trait-based seeding strategies. The research, led by Hailey Mount, involved four seeding treatments subjected to a 50% precipitation reduction and invasion by non-native grasses. Results indicate drought-tolerant traits helped maintain growth under reduced precipitation, but their effects diminished after multiple years.
Sandra E. Rivas-Morales investigated wildfire-associated patterns in soil bacterial communities across a pine–oak forest in northeastern Mexico. The dataset likely contains taxonomic and physicochemical data from 16 soil samples categorized into three time-since-fire classes: early (<3 years), intermediate (3–10 years), and late (>10 years). The data was last updated on April 29, 2026.
A 2026 study by Xinli Zeng analyzes inheritance patterns of ten floral and vegetative traits in Clematis interspecific hybrids. The dataset includes measurements for traits like flower stalk length, flower diameter, sepal dimensions, and blooming period, analyzed using heterosis and a major gene plus polygene mixed genetic model. It is published under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.
Xinjiang hosts five medicinal plants considered promising for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This dataset compares their rhizosphere bacterial communities to non-planted soil using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and analyzes soil physicochemical properties. It was authored by Jing Wu and last updated on April 22, 2026.
