A 13.2 MB document by Atsuko Fukunaga, last updated on 2026-06-02, presents an analytical approach for optimizing benthic photoquadrat sampling. The method uses bootstrap resampling to estimate the required number of photoquadrats and annotation points to achieve target accuracy and precision for metrics like live coral cover. It demonstrates how to identify the point of diminishing returns in sampling effort for reef monitoring studies.
Experimental data from a 2026 study investigating the mechanism of electroacupuncture treatment for embryo implantation dysfunction. The dataset likely contains results from in vitro cell co-culture assays, miRNA sequencing of exosomes, and in vivo mouse model experiments. Author Jing-Yan Song published the data under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.
Biomarker and palynological data from the Middle Ordovician upper Goldwyer Formation in Australia, which records the earliest occurrence of land plant microfossils (cryptospores) in the region. The dataset includes higher-molecular-weight n-alkane distributions and their isotopic compositions, as well as the presence of the biomarker retene. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-06-05.
Lord Howe Island shelf data from a study integrating high-resolution multibeam sonar mapping with sediment and infauna sampling. The dataset likely contains information on species assemblages, sediment composition, and seabed topography to examine bio-physical relationships. It was published via the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in June 2026.
Cordell Bank, a deep-water bank in central California, is the study area for this dataset on demersal fish assemblages. The data was collected via 60 strip-transects using a two-person Delta submersible, with observations from in situ observers and video recordings. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-06-05.
2200 floristic sites were analyzed to create this digital map of native vegetation communities in the Sydney Metropolitan area. The dataset, produced by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage in 2016, relates communities to threatened ecological listings under state and Commonwealth acts. It includes fields describing vegetation type, dominant species, disturbance, and classification codes.
Data from the Australian Ocean Data Network describes an incubation experiment studying the re-establishment of vertical bacterial and foraminiferal zonation in intertidal sediments after sieving. The dataset includes counts of living foraminifera, measurements of redox-sensitive pore water elements, and bacterial abundance quantified via phospholipid-derived fatty acids. The experiment tracked changes over a 49-day incubation period.
The Point Harris Marine Reserve on the northern coast of San Miguel Island, California, was surveyed using sidescan sonar and a towed camera-sled. The dataset likely contains real-time abiotic and biotic seabed characterizations, including substratum type, physical structure, and benthic macrofauna and flora. The data was collected and processed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, with a metadata record last updated on 2026-06-05.
A study of three areas forming a transect across the Torres Strait-Gulf of Papua shelf, from the Fly River Delta to the shelf edge. The dataset likely contains sediment characteristics and relative abundances of benthic foraminiferal assemblages. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-06-05.
253 newly generated cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences from deep-sea amphipods, including 99 from the North Atlantic Current and Evlanov Sea basin (NACES) marine protected area. The data was produced by Anne-Nina Lörz and includes sequences from the Labrador Sea, Azores, and other global populations for biogeographic comparison. A single epibenthic sledge haul at 3,677 meters depth in the NACES MPA revealed 47 molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) from 98 sequenced individuals.
Australian Ocean Data Network hosts data on the geomorphological evolution of Lord Howe Island, a volcanic island at the latitudinal limit to coral reef growth. The description details the island's volcanic basalt composition, Late Quaternary carbonate sediments, and the southernmost fringing reef in the Pacific. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-05.
Quebec's first forest inventory (1970–1983) provides data on the structure and composition of 568,817 virtual plots in the black spruce-feathermoss bioclimatic zone. The dataset, created by Maxence Martin for a 2026 study, includes subsequent disturbances like fire and clearcutting identified from external sources. It focuses on regenerated forests on surface deposits with specific potential dominant vegetation.
A raster map shows the extant distributions of 106 vegetation formations and classes throughout New South Wales, Australia. The data was compiled by David A. Keith and Christopher C. Simpson from various source maps using methods outlined in publications from 2010 and 2011. It supersedes earlier versions from 2006 and 2000.
632,252 expert annotations for seafloor imagery from 21 Antarctic research campaigns conducted between 1985 and 2019. Annotations follow the CATAMI classification scheme and have been reviewed by experts. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
NASA provides derived disturbance history and predicted annual forest biomass maps at 30-meter resolution for six Landsat scenes across the Conterminous United States from 1985 to 2014. The dataset covers sites in Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina, representing a diversity of forest ecosystems and change processes. Biomass estimates were generated using Random Forest models that combine field plot measurements, airborne LiDAR validation maps, and Landsat time-series disturbance data.
Thirty-two quaking aspen and thirty-one black spruce sites were measured to link ground observations with satellite data. The study developed equations to estimate key parameters like leaf area index and above-ground biomass from field measurements of tree diameter, height, and ground coverage. It also includes data from fifteen mountain maple and fifteen beaked hazelnut trees to characterize the understory.
The Southeast NSW Native Vegetation Classification and Mapping dataset provides a regional classification and map of 189 native vegetation types. It was produced by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water based on the South Coast - Illawarra Vegetation Integration (SCIVI) Project, which compiled approximately 8,500 floristic survey sites. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-12.
709 publication records from the Web of Science Core Collection, plus 234 from Scopus, were analyzed by Shan Liu in May 2026. The dataset supports a bibliometric mapping of research trends on the anti-obesity effects of curcumin. It includes data on publication volume, country and institutional collaborations, author networks, and keyword evolution.
709 publication records from the Web of Science Core Collection, analyzed by Shan Liu in 2026, map the evolution of research on curcumin's anti-obesity effects. The analysis reveals a quadratic polynomial growth trend in publications and a thematic shift from basic mechanisms to clinical translation. Data includes country contributions, institutional collaborations, author networks, and keyword co-occurrence patterns.
NASA's dataset contains simulations of net primary production (NPP), heterotrophic respiration (RH), net ecosystem production (NEP), and soil temperature for North American boreal forests from 1986 to 2020. It models interactions between canopy, fire, and soil thermal dynamics using an enhanced Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM) with a soil surface energy balance. The data includes area-weighted outputs from simulations with and without fire disturbance and canopy energy balance schemes.
