Government of Ontario data summarizing moose tag allocation process results for current and previous years. The dataset is updated twice per year and includes variables such as Wildlife Management Unit (WMU), moose type, season, and applicant counts. Definitions are provided in a data dictionary.
Ontario's Broadscale Monitoring program collected spring water chemistry samples from hundreds of lakes across the province between 2008 and 2019. The data were gathered by the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry, with analyses performed by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks. The program aims to provide standardized, long-term monitoring of fisheries and water quality on a five-year cycle.
The MODIS/Aqua Vegetation Indices 16-Day L3 Global 1km SIN Grid V061 product provides global vegetation index values at a 1-kilometer spatial resolution. It is produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and includes two primary vegetation layers: the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), along with reflectance bands and quality assurance layers. The algorithm selects the best available pixel from all acquisitions within a 16-day period based on low clouds, low view angle, and the highest NDVI/EVI value.
Environmental Reporting BC published this summary dataset in 2014 to support the 'Trends in the Status of Native Vertebrate Species in B.C.' indicator. The tabular dataset contains calculated Conservation Status Index values for four vertebrate taxonomic groups: breeding birds, mammals, freshwater fish, and reptiles and amphibians. Values were derived from conservation status rank history data.
British Columbia's historical conservation status rankings for plants, animals, and ecological communities are compiled in these tables. The data is an appended annual export from the BC Species and Ecosystems Explorer tool, showing an increase in rows over time as new groups are added. The Government of British Columbia maintains the dataset, last updated on April 17, 2026.
Conservation measures for UK bird species, reported under the EU Birds Directive, categorize actions taken between 2008 and 2012. The dataset includes the type, importance, location, and effectiveness of each measure for SPA trigger species. Joint Nature Conservation Committee compiled this data for the Tenth UK Report to evaluate the SPA network's contribution.
The United Kingdom's 2013 report to the European Commission includes an audit trail for 83 terrestrial and 42 marine species in the UK Atlantic region, plus species in Gibraltar. This dataset, produced by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, contains supporting notes explaining the derivation and caveats for each species report. It was created because the standard EC reporting format lacked space for detailed underlying information sources and reasoning.
77 terrestrial and marine habitats were assessed for the UK's 2013 report to the European Commission under the Habitats Directive. This dataset provides the supporting audit trail, explaining data derivation and caveats for each habitat-parameter combination. The Joint Nature Conservation Committee compiled these notes because the official EC reporting format lacked space for underlying information sources and reasoning.
The MODIS/Aqua MYD13A1 Version 6.1 product provides two primary vegetation layers—Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI)—at a 500-meter spatial resolution on a global scale. It is produced by NASA's Aqua satellite, with the algorithm selecting the best pixel value from a 16-day period based on low clouds, low view angle, and the highest NDVI/EVI value. The dataset also includes four reflectance bands and quality assurance layers, with the last update recorded on March 12, 2026.
Global land surface data representing vegetation cover as gradations of percent tree cover, percent non-tree cover, and percent non-vegetated (bare). The MOD44B Version 6.1 product from NASA provides this quantitative portrayal at a 250 meter pixel resolution, with annual periods starting around March 5-6. The data layers include percent cover estimates, cloud cover, and quality indicators.
MODIS13A2 Version 6.1 provides global vegetation index values at a 1-kilometer spatial resolution. The product includes two primary vegetation layers, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), along with four reflectance bands and quality assurance layers. It is produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with a last recorded update in March 2026.
The MOD13A1 V6.1 product provides two primary vegetation layers—Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI)—at a 500-meter spatial resolution. It is produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) from Terra MODIS satellite data, with the latest metadata update noted as 2026-03-12. The algorithm selects the best pixel value from all acquisitions within a 16-day period based on criteria including low clouds, low view angle, and the highest NDVI/EVI value.
WAVeTrends is a geospatial dataset mapping concurrent woody and herbaceous vegetation change across the West African Sudano-Sahel region. It provides pixel-wise categorical trends over a 32-year period (1982-2013) at 0.05-degree resolution, derived from rain use efficiency sensitivity analysis. The dataset, associated with ORNL_CLOUD, includes validity flags to indicate where the underlying rainfall-productivity assumption holds.
Plant hardiness zones for Canada are defined by a formula using seven climate variables influencing perennial plant survival. The 4th edition map was developed by scientists from Natural Resources Canada, Environment Canada, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada using climate averages from 1991 to 2020. It updates a previous version based on data from 1930 to 1960.
Large numbers of plant fossil specimens were collected in the Bowen Basin in 1960 by field parties in the Mt Coolon and Clermont areas. The collections are described and representative specimens are illustrated, with age determinations made for diagnostic fossils. The report includes flora from the Devonian Protolepidodendron and Psilophytites in the Bulgonunna Volcanic Series and a Devonian to Lower Carboniferous Lepidodendroid flora in the Drummond Group.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada issues licences under Section 56 of the Fishery (General) Regulations for the intentional release and transfer of live aquatic organisms. The federal-provincial Introductions and Transfers Committee reviews applications to assess risks for disease, ecological, and genetic effects. This dataset likely contains records of transfers to and from aquaculture facilities in British Columbia, regulated to minimize impacts on native species and habitats.
A list of predictor variables selected for a species distribution model targeting the genus Aphaniops. The dataset is a 9.5 KB Excel file authored by Aziza S. Al Adhoobi and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on 2026-05-29.
British Columbia's dataset delineates areas where licensed trappers are permitted to trap fur-bearing animals under the BC Wildlife Act. The data is provided by the Government of British Columbia and was last updated in May 2026. It is available in geospatial formats including WMS and KML.
Fragmentary remains of Devonian fishes from the Knobby Sandstone formation in the eastern Canning Basin. The fauna includes a new species of the antiarch Bothriolepis, other placoderm fragments, and rhipidistian teeth and scales, preserved as moulds in coarse sandstone. The data was published by Geoscience Australia and last updated on 2026-05-14.
Xiaofang Xie's dataset from 2026 contains genomic data for mapping genes controlling fruit length in eggplant (Solanum melongena). It includes files in GFF3, CDS, and PEP formats totaling 85.2 MB, derived from a cross between the Yanzhiqie cultivar and a wild relative, S. incanum. The data was generated using genome sequencing, map-based cloning, and gene function validation methods.
