Loxton FLUXNET Release 2025_r1 consists of flux tower measurements from a 481-hectare almond orchard near Loxton, South Australia. Data were processed using PyFluxPro and ONEFlux software to produce a final gap-filled product containing Net Ecosystem Exchange partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity and Ecosystem Respiration. This dataset was produced as part of the FLUXNET Shuttle project.
Late Quaternary sediments and landforms characterize Lord Howe Island, a volcanic island rising over 800 meters. The dataset, sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network, describes the island's geological evolution, including its position at the latitudinal limit to coral reef growth. It includes information on eolianite deposits, uranium-series dating results, and the southernmost fringing reef in the Pacific.
Towed video and still images document seafloor habitats and organisms in Australian and Antarctic waters. Geoscience Australia collected this data across 21 marine surveys between 2007 and 2013. The footage provides direct observation of geological features and marine life, covering distances of up to 1-2 km per tow.
Australian Ocean Data Network hosts data from incubation experiments studying the re-establishment of vertical bacterial and foraminiferal zonation in intertidal sediments after sieving. The dataset includes counts of living foraminifera and measurements of redox-sensitive pore water elements and bacterial phospholipid-derived fatty acids. The experiments tracked organism and geochemical parameter changes over a 49-day incubation period.
The dataset provides time series estimates of anthropogenic marine debris contamination across the IMOS National Mooring Network. It summarizes physical properties like size, shape, and color, and chemical nature including polymer type, along with sampling coordinates and field collection data. This information is intended to inform policy and management on marine pollution in Australia's marine estate.
Data from an analysis of diversity, structure and biomass in temperate forests along geographic gradients in the Nazas River Basin, Mexico. Gabriel Graciano-Ávila collected data from 45 sampling plots across three latitudinal and three altitudinal gradients, recording 37 tree species. The dataset includes measurements of tree diameter, height, species identity, and derived metrics like alpha diversity indices and aboveground biomass.
The Australian Ocean Data Network provides high-resolution acoustic mapping data for seafloor habitats in Tasmanian fishing block 27. This dataset includes 50cm resolution bathymetry, substrate classification, and kelp coverage maps, capturing a snapshot of the 2021 distribution. It was created to map fine-scale habitat impacted by urchins and to support strategic decision-making for urchin control and abalone management.
Lord Howe Island shelf sediments supported an impoverished infaunal assemblage with a high proportion of rare, new, and endemic species. The dataset was created by mapping seabed features with high-resolution multibeam sonar and sampling sediments and infauna using a Smith-McIntyre grab. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in 2026.
Forty-five sampling sites across three latitudinal and three altitudinal gradients in the Upper Nazas River Basin, Mexico, provide data on tree species, structure, and biomass. The dataset, authored by Gabriel Graciano-Ávila and last updated in June 2026, includes census records for all trees with a DBH ≥ 7.5 cm. Thirty-seven species were identified, with Juniperus deppeana being the only species present across all gradients.
Approximately 1,500 km² of seafloor were mapped using hydroacoustics and video transects across 9 study areas. The Marine Futures Project, by the Australian Ocean Data Network, benchmarked Western Australian marine ecosystems by combining habitat mapping and biodiversity data. The dataset includes fine-scale habitat maps for Point Ann, a site within the UNESCO Fitzgerald Biosphere Reserve.
Version 2.1, updated in 2026, is a composite vegetation map covering 1,441,942 hectares in the Shoalhaven, Eurobodalla, and Bega Valley local government areas. It classifies 1,189,363 hectares of native vegetation into 132 Biometric types across 11 NSW Formations and 39 NSW Classes, including 22 Endangered Ecological Communities. The map was produced by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage in consultation with local councils and agencies.
Tasmania's Tayaritja Sea Country (Furneaux Group of Islands) is the focus of this imagery dataset. It contains approximately 400 photoquadrats collected using Benthic Observation Survey System (BOSS) and unBaited Remote Underwater stereo-Video systems (stereo-uBRUV) to validate seagrass mapping. The project was conducted under the NESP MaC 3.6 program and contributed to a national seagrass mapping standard operating procedure.
Multibeam acoustic imagery was used to map fine-scale abalone habitat impacted by urchins in waters less than 25 meters deep. The data provides a snapshot of the 2021 distribution of seafloor substrate types, kelp coverage, and urchin barrens along Tasmania's east coast. It is available via the Seamap Australia portal for visualization and download by fishing block.
Mardan District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan is the location for this field study investigating how nest placement affects parasitism by Jacobin cuckoos in common babblers. The dataset was collected by Asif Sadam during April–May and August–September of 2021 and 2023. It likely contains observations of nest-site characteristics and parasitism events from systematic walking surveys in patchy habitats.
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data was collected by the CSIRO Marine National Facility RV Investigator during voyage IN2024_V05 from November 13 to December 12, 2024. The data covers the southeast marine ecosystem and was processed using the University of Hawaii Data Acquisition System (UHDAS) and Common Ocean Data Access System (CODAS). It was archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure Information and Data Centre.
Natura 2000 protected areas in Vienna designated under the EU Birds Directive as Special Protection Areas (SPAs). The dataset is published by Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich under a CC-BY-4.0 license. The legal basis includes the Vienna Nature Conservation Act and Council Directive 79/409/EEC.
Vienna's protected areas designated under the European Union's Habitats Directive as Sites of Community Importance (SCI). The dataset is published by Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich under a CC-BY-4.0 license, based on the Vienna Nature Conservation Act and EU Council Directive 92/43/EEC.
Spatial datasets mapping reef boundaries and habitats across the northern Australian seascape from central Western Australia to western Cape York in Queensland. The project was conducted by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and the University of Queensland (UQ) between 2023 and 2025. Outputs include marine-optimised satellite imagery, reef boundary maps, and improved geomorphic and benthic habitat maps derived from the Allen Coral Atlas.
The 1995-1996 study by AGSO's Marine, Petroleum and Sedimentary Resources Division analyzes the stratigraphic and structural development of Australia's Petrel Sub-basin. It aimed to define basement elements, tectonic events, basin fill, and factors controlling petroleum systems. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and includes HTML and PDF files.
High-resolution 50cm bathymetry and substrate maps detail seafloor habitats off Tasmania's east coast. The Australian Ocean Data Network produced this snapshot of 2021 habitat distribution for strategic urchin control and abalone management. Data products include substrate classification, bathymetry derivatives, and vegetation likelihood from multibeam acoustic imagery.
