Australian rangeland sites were surveyed by the TERN Surveillance Monitoring team. Landform characteristics were observed using standardised AusPlots methodologies. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-13.
Plankton biodiversity and oceanographic data were collected during the Tara Oceans expedition, a 2.5-year global voyage covering 57,000 miles. The dataset provides a global-scale snapshot of morphological, genetic, and functional plankton diversity in relation to changing ocean parameters. The expedition was led by a consortium of scientists and organized by NASA, with fieldwork occurring from September 2009 to March 2012.
Government of Yukon researchers collected 238 soil and plant samples from three reclaimed gold mine properties in Yukon First Nations territories. The project examined total, inorganic, and organic arsenic concentrations in nine ethnobotanical species using ICP-MS and AAS instrumentation. Findings indicate low arsenic uptake in berries but elevated concentrations in lichen, mushrooms, and medicinal shrubs near point sources.
5,733 population-level range-shift observations for 1,096 bird species, combined with a global avian innovation dataset. The data, created by cong yu and last updated in April 2026, supports analysis of how behavioural plasticity influences species' ability to track climate change across latitudinal and elevational gradients.
NOAA-20 VIIRS VJ143MA2 Version 2 provides daily Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function and albedo quality data at 1-kilometer resolution, synthesized from a 16-day observation window. It uses the RossThick/Li-Sparse-Reciprocal kernel-driven model to correct directional reflectance and compute black-sky and white-sky albedo, supporting continuity with NASA's MODIS BRDF/Albedo product suite. The dataset includes 23 Science Dataset layers covering band quality, observation days, land/water flags, snow class, and uncertainty metrics.
Sediment weights, calculated fluxes, and vegetation transects collected at sites related to the Smokehouse Creek Fire. The dataset was authored by Abinash Bhattachan and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on June 1, 2026.
A secreted protease from the Actinobacterium Salinispora mooreana exhibits antiphage activity against Siphoviridae phages. The data, authored by Ehud Herbst and last updated in May 2026, suggests an extracellular mechanism where the protease reduces phage titers and increases the proportion of DNA-devoid phage particles. Phages can escape this effect through mutations in a tail-associated protein.
A 41.6 KB GenBank file containing the plasmid map for '15_in_pCAP03'. The dataset describes a secreted protease from the Actinobacterium Salinispora mooreana with antiphage activity. Authored by Ehud Herbst and last updated on May 14, 2026, it is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.
A GenBank file containing the plasmid map for a construct used in bacteriophage defense research. The plasmid encodes a secreted protease from Salinispora mooreana, studied for its extracellular antiphage activity against Siphoviridae phages. The dataset was authored by Ehud Herbst and last updated on May 14, 2026.
A plasmid map in GBK format authored by Ehud Herbst and last updated in May 2026. The data relates to research on a secreted bacterial protease from Salinispora mooreana with antiphage activity against Siphoviridae phages. The dataset is small at 22.4 KB and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Experimental data from Colorado State University researcher Thomas Seth Davis investigates drought's effect on tree defense mechanisms. The 17.5 KB Excel file contains results from applying acute and chronic water stress to Engelmann spruce trees, measuring water potentials, salicylic acid, and monoterpene concentrations. Findings show water stress below -2.0 MPa reduces photosynthetic function and alters volatile organic compound profiles.
GIMMS-3G+ V1.2 provides a 40-year global record of vegetation greenness measured by the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. NASA assembled this dataset from multiple Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer sensors, applying corrections for calibration loss, orbital drift, and volcanic eruptions. It offers twice-monthly maximum NDVI values at a 0.0833-degree spatial resolution from 1982 to 2022.
Measurements of standing and fallen coarse woody debris (necromass) were collected in an old-growth upland forest at the km 67 eddy flux tower site in Brazil's Tapajos National Forest. Data collection spanned from April 2001 through July 2001, with debris categorized into specific size classes measured across different plot scales. This dataset was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the LBA-ECO project.
Acetic acid extracts from black soldier fly larvae reared on market waste showed 17.00 ± 0.87 mm inhibition zones against Staphylococcus aureus. This dataset underpins a thesis investigating the larvae's antimicrobial potential against ESKAPE pathogens, with biomass extracted using hexane, methanol, or acetic acid and tested via disc diffusion, MIC, MBC, and time-kill assays. Author Mach Achuoth published the data on figshare in May 2026.
From 2000 to 2018, this dataset provides a time series of visible-wavelength digital camera imagery from 393 sites, predominantly in North America. The raw imagery was used to derive time series of vegetation color, canopy greenness, and phenology transition dates. It represents the PhenoCam Network's primary data product for studying plant phenology.
Eight land cover classes, including five forest types, were mapped for the Primor'ye and Southern Khabarovsk regions using 1990 NOAA AVHRR satellite data. The map was created by NASA to support World Wildlife Fund research on habitats for threatened animal species. This dataset provides a historical baseline for land use in the Far Eastern Siberia region.
RT-qPCR data for four genes (BZLF1, BGLF5, ELAVL4, PABPC4L) measured at five time points (8, 12, 18, 24, and 48 hours) after treatment of HH514-16 cells with TSA or AzaCdR. The dataset, shared by Derek Daigle on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, shows expression levels relative to untreated controls. The data file is 5.5 KB in size and was last updated in May 2026.
Habitat network maps for Northern Ireland's grassland priority habitats, produced in 2020 using a methodology from Natural England. Ulster Wildlife, National Trust NI, RSPB NI, and Woodland Trust NI created these vector datasets to support Nature Recovery Networks. The maps categorize land based on its potential for habitat restoration and its role in enhancing ecological connectivity.
Palaeoshorelines on the stable Australian continental shelf are relict coastal structures formed during periods of lower sea level. An analysis indicates modal sea levels occurred at 30–40 m and 70–90 m depths during the Late Quaternary (0–128 ka). These features provide a geospatial framework for biodiversity studies and targeting potential sand resources and archaeological sites.
A 2020 project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund produced habitat network maps for priority habitats in Northern Ireland. Ulster Wildlife, National Trust NI, RSPB NI, and Woodland Trust NI collaborated to create these vector datasets using the Natural England methodology. The maps categorize land based on its potential for habitat restoration and connectivity enhancement.
