Plot-level floristic and functional trait data from mixed-species plantations in West Africa, used to examine relationships between diversity metrics and aboveground biomass (AGB). The dataset includes 23 enumerated species, with plot-level species richness ranging from 1 to 12 and AGB averaging 15.5 Mg/plot (range 9.3 to 23.1 Mg/plot). It was created by Sylvanus Mensah of Université d'Abomey-Calavi and shared via Papers with Code.
Predictive habitat maps of the seabed for conservation and management in the Southern Irish Sea and Welsh waters. The HABMAP project used novel modelling techniques, later extended with higher-resolution data to improve accuracy. The dataset is related to predictive modelling work produced by the Government Digital Service.
16 large (15,000L) experimental ponds were manipulated in a factorial design with two foundation species (macrophytes and mussels) and subjected to two periods of nutrient perturbation. Measurements were taken at high resolution (15-minute intervals) over two years, tracking ecosystem properties like phytoplankton density and metabolism. The dataset was created by Moritz L rig at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology to study non-additive effects of species interactions on ecosystem recovery.
Amino acid carbon isotope (δ¹³C) fingerprints characterize trophic niches in marine food webs. The data likely contains measurements from six functional groups and ten species, including herring and sprat, across four Baltic Sea regions. The dataset was produced by Thomas Larsen of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History.
Xabier Cabodevilla from the University of the Basque Country developed a mini-barcode primer for simultaneous eDNA metabarcoding analysis of diet and intestinal parasites from bird feces. The study tested the primer's capacity in silico and validated it on fecal samples from five steppe bird species. The data likely contains taxonomic identifications for relevant phyla like Arthropoda, Nematoda, Platyhelminthes, and Apicomplexa.
A study from Aarhus University investigates the effects of experimental warming on plant species-specific phenology and dominance in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau. The research links warming-induced shifts in phenological lasts and full phenological periods to changes in species dominance. Species with lengthened full phenological periods under warming increased their dominance.
Manuel Gabriel Velásquez Ramírez from the Instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonía Peruana classified soils impacted by alluvial gold mining in the Madre de Dios region of Peru. The dataset compares soil profiles from mine spoils with those from nearby undisturbed old-growth forest, applying Soil Taxonomy (2014) and WRB (2015) systems. It was published in 2014 and contributes to understanding soil degradation and natural regeneration in Amazon ecosystems.
A review article authored by Naveed Muhammad of Nanjing Medical University. It surveys plant biotechnology approaches for enhancing the production of anticancer molecules like podophyllotoxin, vincristine, and taxol. The paper discusses in vitro culture techniques, including suspension cultures and hairy roots.
Ty Sok from the Institute of Technology of Cambodia analyzed long-term monitoring data from 1993 to 2018 to estimate sediment loads in the Tonle Sap and Lower Mekong Rivers. The dataset includes annual sediment estimates for three monitoring stations, showing a reduction in sediment transport to the Mekong delta. The analysis indicates a shift in the Tonle Sap Lake from a sediment source to a sink after 2001.
Coastal salt-affected Fluvo-aquic soil in China was studied under a paddy rice-winter wheat rotation. The dataset, from a field experiment by Rongjiang Yao of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, characterizes soil properties and bacterial communities under four nitrogen fertilization rates (0, 150, 300, and 450 kg N hm-2 y-1). Bacterial community structure was analyzed using Illumina Miseq sequencing for the 16S rRNA gene.
A research dataset from Hui Xu at the University of Hong Kong investigates the neuroprotective effect of Cajaninstilbene acid (CSA) against cerebral ischemia and reperfusion damage. The study uses in vitro oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) models in SH-SY5Y cells and in vivo transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) models in rats. It analyzes the molecular mechanism via the AMPK/Nrf2 pathway using Western blotting and inhibitor blocking.
A review paper from the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore summarizes efforts in tracheal tissue engineering. The paper covers sources of cells, biomaterials, fabrication techniques like electrospinning and 3D bioprinting, and discusses animal models and bioreactors for scaffold development. The author is P. C. Agarwal and the dataset is hosted on paperswithcode.
Instantaneous flow information in gas-solid fluidized beds was acquired using an optical fiber probe. The data demarcates flow structures into 'dilute' and 'dense' phases. This work by Xiaoyang Wei from Western University provides a discussion on the evolution of these structures.
High-throughput sequencing data of fungal DNA from Amazonian soil and litter samples identifies habitat type as the strongest driver of community composition. The dataset combines existing and novel genomic data, using both short and long DNA reads to characterize diversity. It was produced by Camila Duarte Ritter of the University of Duisburg-Essen.
ACTGOV Shrub Bed Assets is a polygon dataset showing locations of shrub beds in the Australian Capital Territory. Assets are owned or managed by City Services and the Parks and Conservation Service. Attributes include location description, suburb, asset sub type, and landscaping details.
Neotropical diversification patterns are analyzed using a large-scale comparative dataset of 150 phylogenies covering 12,524 species of seed plants and major tetrapods. The data was compiled by Andrea S. Meseguer to evaluate the timing and drivers of biodiversity assembly in the Neotropics. It reveals five key trends, including the impact of past environmental variations and the uplift of the Andes on different lineages.
Workshop data from ICCS 2018 uses genetic programming and signal processing to study time-varying exposures where trust is implied. The datasets are behavioral finance time series derived from on-chain data (e.g., fees) and off-chain data (e.g., clickstreams). The work elaborates on complexity metrics of causality through parametric network graphs and discusses social memory irreversibility.
Three large telomere datasets from healthy human populations show a downward secular trend in telomere length at birth. The data was re-examined by author Reinhard Stindl and supports a model of progressive intergenerational telomere erosion. The dataset is published under an Open Access (diamond) license.
A study from Dalhousie University tests the assumption underlying the GOED protocol for calculating p-Anisidine Value in flavored fish oils. Fourteen flavors were evaluated for their interference with the secondary oxidation marker under accelerated oxidation conditions. The research suggests the GOED method may underestimate oxidation in flavored products.
Metabolomic data from a resurrected natural population of water fleas (Daphnia magna) studied over approximately 16 years. The dataset likely contains measurements of metabolic profiles under different predation pressures, contributed by Chao Zhang of Shandong University. It was sourced from the paperswithcode platform under an Open Access license.
