GEDI L4A data provides predictions of aboveground biomass density (AGBD) in megagrams per hectare for laser footprints sampled from the International Space Station. The dataset focuses on specific 'Golden Weeks' (weeks 19, 32, 34, 38) chosen for instrument calibration and validation, covering latitudes up to 51.6 degrees north and south. It is produced by ORNL_CLOUD for NASA, with biomass estimates derived from parametric models linking lidar waveform metrics to field plot data across multiple plant functional types.
A 5.5 KB Excel file describes variables used in an analysis of wild mammals admitted to the Chungnam Wild Animal Rescue Center. The dataset was authored by Bong Kyun Kim and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. Its last update is recorded as 2026-05-28.
Two global estimates of total plant-available soil water storage capacity in the rooting zone are provided on a 1.0-degree grid. The dataset was developed using two distinct inverse modeling methods—optimization and assimilation—to support the ISLSCP Initiative II for land surface and climate modeling. It is produced by ORNL_CLOUD and consists of three files.
Nebraska field data contains Leaf Area Index and Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) measurements collected during 1987, 1988, and 1989. Incoming, reflected, and transmitted PAR were measured with a LI-COR LI-191SA line quantum sensor, with absorbed and intercepted PAR derived from these readings. The research aimed to characterize reflectance, estimate albedo, and analyze flux variability related to topography, vegetation, management, plant water status, and sun angle.
Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery from 1986, 1989, 1996, and 1999 has been classified into land use and land cover categories for four Intensive Study Areas in Ecuador's northern Oriente region. The dataset consists of 12 georeferenced raster files, each with a spatial resolution of 30 meters. It was produced by the University of North Carolina's Carolina Population Center for the LBA-ECO project.
Temperate biome parameters for the BIOME-BGC terrestrial ecosystem model are documented from scientific literature. The dataset provides input values for physiology, biochemistry, structure, and allocation patterns of vegetation functional types. It is hosted by ORNL_CLOUD and appears on multiple government data platforms.
Experimental data likely describes an engineered autoluminescence system for non-invasive monitoring of transcriptional events. The dataset, authored by Anastasia Balakireva and last updated on May 18, 2026, presents an approach using a reference luciferase variant to disentangle gene expression from metabolic contributions. This strategy is applicable across autoluminescence pathways from bacteria and fungi.
Two 32-bit geotiff backscatter mosaics were collected from the Arafura Marine Park aboard the RV Solander between 2–15 November 2020. The data provides baseline information on benthic habitats for Money Shoal and Pillar Bank, supporting a 10-year marine park management plan. A detailed post-survey report documents the collaborative project funded by the National Environmental Science Program Marine Biodiversity Hub.
A comment published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science critiques a 2009 study by Williams et al. on using geomorphic features as surrogates for benthic biodiversity in Australia's southeast marine region. The comment, sourced from Geoscience Australia Data, argues the original study did not explicitly test the surrogate hypothesis and clarifies terminology and MPA design criteria. It underscores the importance of evaluating abiotic surrogates like seamounts and submarine canyons for biodiversity inference.
Queensland's flora species listed as threatened increased by 277 between 2007 and 2019. The data is published by the Queensland Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated in May 2026.
Vanessa De Oliveira provides raw and imputed data from a randomized controlled trial evaluating plantar flexor strengthening in children with idiopathic toe walking. The dataset includes spatiotemporal gait parameters, ankle dorsiflexion, strength, balance, coordination, quality of life, and parent-reported toe walking frequency. It was last updated in May 2026 and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
A study comparing phytoplankton and benthic microalgae across tidal creeks with and without treated sewage discharge. Concentrations of the sewage marker coprostanol decreased downstream, commensurate with declines in nitrogen and phosphorus, indicating sewage was the primary nutrient source. Primary productivity in the water column was nitrogen-limited without sewage and nitrogen-saturated with sewage.
Sediment, nutrients, pesticides, and riparian forest loss are the major catchment pressures impacting Queensland's freshwater rivers. The dataset is published by the Queensland Department of Environment, Science and Innovation under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on May 12, 2026.
Flujo de movilización animal en Colombia durante en el año 2019. The dataset likely contains detailed counts of livestock, including cattle, buffalo, pigs, and camelids, broken down by age, sex, and production stage. It originates from the Colombian open data portal www.datos.gov.co and was last updated in May 2026.
Bremer Marine Park in Australia's South-west Marine Park Network contains a compilation of multibeam sonar bathymetry data gridded to 100-meter spatial resolution. The dataset includes bathymetry for the Bremer Canyon and adjacent smaller canyons incising the continental slope and outer shelf. This compilation was supported by the National Environmental Science Program Marine Biodiversity Hub.
Isopach, structure contour, and palaeo-geological maps illustrate the geological development of the southern Taroom Trough, a 50,000 km² subsurface extension of the Bowen Basin, and the overlying 300,000 km² Surat Basin. The dataset likely contains maps detailing sedimentary thickness, structural features, and stratigraphic sequences from the Permian to Cretaceous periods. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network on data.gov.au.
A meta-analysis of 242 effect sizes from experiments on 17 native plant species, evaluating root allocation responses to multigenerational exposure to invasive species under varying resource levels. The dataset was created by Alicia J. Foxx and last updated on April 17, 2026. It includes data used to test whether invader-experienced and invader-naïve native plant populations show divergent root mass fraction responses when grown alone or with an invasive species.
Geoscience Australia Data presents a dataset integrating multibeam sonar and underwater video to map benthic habitats in a 48 km² nearshore area of the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica. It compares top-down (geomorphic) and bottom-up (biological assemblage) habitat classification approaches, identifying substrate, depth, and sea ice cover as key environmental drivers. The mapped habitat types include shallow boulder fields, exposed bedrock, steep slopes, muddy basins, and sandy plains, characterized by distinct macroalgae or invertebrate communities.
A web map service provides a 10-metre resolution land cover map for 2023. It classifies land surface into 21 UKCEH land cover classes based on Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. The service is provided by the Government Digital Service.
Two official Australian government datasets list species and ecological communities of national environmental significance under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Each listed entity has a single row entry providing its name, threatened status, indicative occurrence by state or territory, and a link to the Species Profile and Threats Database. The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water maintains the data, which was last updated on 2026-03 19.
