Drifting Baited Stereo-Video Survey of Pelagic Wildlife in the Perth Canyon Marine Reserve

A novel system of drifting baited stereo-video cameras recorded high-definition footage in the deep-water Perth Canyon Commonwealth Marine Reserve off southwestern Australia. The proof-of-concept study used occupancy and maximum entropy models to predict the distribution of midwater fishes and sharks. This dataset record is provided by Parks Australia to highlight research relevant to Australian Marine Parks.

Land Cover and Change Maps for African, Caribbean, and Pacific Conservation Areas

An update covering 852,025 km² in the Caribbean, African, and Pacific regions, this dataset provides land cover and change maps with up to 32 classes. The data was produced by Zoltan Szantoi and colleagues at the European Commission using medium to high resolution satellite imagery. Each map and change map was fully verified and validated by an independent team to meet strict quality requirements.

Global Biophysical Typology of Mangroves Version 3

A global biophysical typology of mangroves delineates the world's mangroves into geomorphic units based on their coastal setting. The dataset is an updated version from Thomas A. Worthington of the University of Cambridge, matching the Global Mangrove Watch v3.12 extent. It classifies mangrove patches into deltaic, estuarine, lagoonal, and open coast geomorphic classes.

FSC-certified forest management benefits large mammals compared to non-FSC

1.3 million camera trap photos of 55 mammal species collected from 2018 to 2021 in 14 logging concessions in Gabon and the Republic of Congo. The dataset was created by researchers including Joeri A. Zwerts from Utrecht University to compare mammal encounter rates between FSC-certified and non-FSC forest management. It provides evidence that FSC-certified concessions benefit larger mammals and species of high conservation priority.

Vertical Sediment and Metal Transport by Bubbles in a Stratified Lake

Daily fluxes as large as 0.18 µg of arsenic m-2 and 2 x 10^4 cyanobacterial cells m-2 were measured in Upper Mystic Lake, MA. This dataset supports the validation of research findings on bubble-facilitated transport of particle-associated metals and cyanobacteria from lake sediments to surface waters. The data was collected by Kyle Delwiche of Harvard University.

GEMTraits: Plant Functional Traits from 10 Permanent Plots in Peru

GEMTraits is a database containing demographic and functional trait data on trees from ten 1-hectare permanent plots across an elevation transect from 3500m to 200m in southeastern Peru. The data is part of the Global Ecosystems Monitoring Network (GEM) and includes leaf chemistry, morphology, venation, branch architecture, and 3D crown architecture measurements, along with microenvironmental data like vertical light profiles. The database is under embargo, and access requests must be directed to the depositor, Dr. Alexander Shenkin of the University of Oxford.

UKSeaMap Predictive Map v2026.1: UK Seabed Habitat Predictions

The UKSeaMap Predictive Habitats Map 2026.1 is a broad-scale prediction of physical seabed habitats for the UK extended Continental Shelf. It was produced by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee and last updated on July 15, 2026. The map uses models of depth, light, sediment, and energy to predict habitats according to two classification systems, EUNIS and the Marine Habitat Classification for Britain and Ireland.

Statutory Plant Health Notices: Forest Disease Control in Scotland

Scottish Forestry's Statutory Plant Health Notices (SPHN) dataset maps the legal boundaries where biosecurity measures apply to control tree pests and diseases, primarily Phytophthora ramorum. The layer includes notices issued since 2010, showing active and expired zones often defined by a 250-meter buffer from infection sites. Attributes detail the pest, host species, affected area, and notice status, though historical record completeness varies.

Composite Inshore Seagrass Distribution for Eastern Queensland, 1984-2007

From 1984 to 2007, this dataset maps the distribution of inshore seagrass along the eastern Queensland coastline, compiled by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It is a composite of 38 surveys conducted using dive surveys, underwater cameras, and inter-tidal aerial surveys for waters shallower than -15 metres. The data includes spatial extent but not species information.

Seabed Exposure and Ecological Disturbance Index for Australia's Continental Shelf

Models of seabed sediment mobilisation examine the intermediate disturbance hypothesis for Australia's continental shelf. The analysis focuses on high-energy, patch-clearing events exceeding a Shields parameter value of 0.25, deriving maps of an ecological disturbance index. This work, from the Australian Ocean Data Network, is presented as the first such analysis attempted for any continental shelf on Earth.
