Spatial variability data for a 45-hectare soybean field was collected during the 1988 growing season. The dataset contains 400-600 sample points with measurements across geomorphological, soil chemical, soil biological, plant, and insect characteristics. Research was conducted at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station, a facility administered by Michigan State University.
An ecological experiment investigates the effects of four nitrogen levels and four soil disturbance levels on plant communities. The study includes 104 experimental plots, each 5m x 5m, with treatments applied in a completely randomized design. It is part of the NSF-funded Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program at the University of Minnesota's Cedar Creek Natural History Area.
Sediment concentration and flux measurements span 31 years (1957-1988) across three small forested catchments in Oregon's H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. This dataset quantifies the long-term effects of different timber harvest intensities, including a 100% clearcut, a 25% patch-cut, and a control watershed. Data was collected by the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program and analyzed by EPA, OSU, and Corvallis FSL labs.
Streamflow data from nine small watersheds in Oregon's H.J. Andrews Forest have been continuously monitored since 1953. The dataset includes three sets of paired watershed experiments and one larger old-growth watershed, designed to evaluate hydrologic impacts of forest management treatments like clearcutting. Data collection is managed by the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program.
NOAA's Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment Biogeography Branch collects water quality and habitat data to assess and monitor coral reef ecosystems in La Parguera, Puerto Rico. The dataset supports a multi-year study linking environmental parameters to fish and macro-invertebrate populations. Data collection began in 2003 and is ongoing.
A fire monitoring database from the Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge under the Department of the Interior's Region One Fire hazardous fuels program. The data likely contains pre- and post-treatment fuel loading estimates to evaluate the effectiveness of prescribed fire and mechanical/chemical treatments. It was last updated on March 4, 2026.
IMECOCAL is a long-term ocean monitoring program for the Mexican sector of the California Current off Baja California. The program, modeled after CalCOFI, has conducted quarterly research cruises since October 1997. It is maintained by SCIOPS to study ecosystem responses to climate change and fisheries practices.
Vegetation index data derived from the Sentinel-2 Multi-Spectral Instrument, providing nine daily indicators of vegetation health. The Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 project, funded by NASA's SNWG and operated by LPCLOUD, combines measurements from Sentinel-2A, 2B, and 2C satellites for global land observations every 1.6 days.
Daily global observations from 2013 to present are provided by the Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) project, funded by NASA's Satellite Needs Working Group. The dataset contains nine vegetation health indices derived from Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 Operational Land Imager data, gridded to a 30-meter spatial resolution. Combined measurements enable land observation every 1.6 days.
Elevation data is collected on a 400 by 400 meter grid aligned with USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles. The U.S. Geological Survey coordinates acquisition to support ecosystem restoration, with data referenced to NAD83 and NAVD88 datums. This project provides high-accuracy inputs for parameterizing hydrologic and ecological simulation models.
Supplementary material for a study on the impacts of urbanization on plant pathogens and pests. The dataset, published on figshare by Kaylee M. H. Arnold, was last updated on 2026-05-14. It is provided under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
57 species and subspecies of North American freshwater fishes became extinct between 1900 and 2010. The modern extinction rate for these fishes is estimated to be 877 times greater than the background rate from the fossil record. This data is provided by CEOS_EXTRA via NASA's Earthdata platform.
Quicklook images from the German Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) satellite mission provide a global overview of acquired Level 0 hyperspectral data. The collection includes VNIR and SWIR band quicklooks alongside quality masks for haze, cloud, and snow. FEDEO maintains and constantly updates this database with new acquisitions from the operational mission.
1978, 1984, and 1990 surveys collected botanical, soil, and land cover data from up to 508 sample 1 km squares across Great Britain. The dataset includes land class assignments for approximately 250,000 grid squares, enabling statistical predictions of ecological characteristics. The Countryside Survey 1990 was sponsored by the UK Department of the Environment, British National Space Centre, and Natural Environment Research Council.
World Conservation Monitoring Centre's East Africa Biodiversity Metadatabase catalogs sources and types of biodiversity information for Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The project launched in 1992, collecting data via 350 completed questionnaires from over 100 institutions within the region and more than 1000 outside it. It was a collaborative effort between IUCN, WCMC, and national institutions, funded by the European Commission and UN agencies.
SCIOPS collected water samples from Antarctic ecosystems to study the biodiversity of nitrogen-fixing and denitrifying microorganisms. The project aimed to isolate new microbes, study denitrification genes, and localize microbial microhabitats. Sample collection involved filtering 40 liters of water through plankton nets for laboratory cell counting and identification.
Antarctica's pristine environment faces localized pollution from scientific and logistical activities requiring fuel. This dataset from the SCIOPS organization documents bacterial biodegradation and bioremediation of hydrocarbons in cold, polar soils and waters, focusing on contamination incidents near research stations. The scope covers specific fuel spills and pollution events reported in scientific literature.
A digital map of the world's forests provides a uniform basis for global conservation analysis. The World Conservation Monitoring Centre subdivided this forest coverage into broad forest types and overlaid ecological zones to define ecological variants. This work builds upon a prior 1997 study by Iremonger et al.
Additional file 6 from a geological study of the Shimanto accretionary complex in eastern Shikoku, Southwest Japan. The dataset was published by Hidetoshi Hara on figshare in April 2026. It likely contains data related to the progressive development of the complex from the Paleocene to early Miocene period.
