Maui, Hawaii hosts a dataset quantifying net primary productivity (NPP) across a moisture gradient in montane rainforests. Measurements from six mature forest stands, where precipitation ranges from 2,200 to 5,050 mm annually, provide estimates for above-ground, below-ground, and total NPP. This data, collected in 1996 and 1997 by NASA, supports research on carbon dynamics in relatively undisturbed, species-poor island ecosystems.
A 2020 survey collected bathymetry data for Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs within the Lord Howe Marine Park. The dataset comprises two bathymetry grids derived from multibeam sonar data, gridded at 5 m spatial resolution and covering a combined area of 312 km². The survey was conducted by Geoscience Australia and partners to collect baseline information for benthic habitats.
High-resolution 16m and 64m bathymetry data was collected for the Cape Range and Cloates Canyons using Kongsberg EM302 and EM710 multibeam sonar systems. The survey was led by Dr. Rachel Przeslawski from Geoscience Australia aboard the RV Falkor from March 8 to April 8, 2020. This data underpins research on canyon geometry and species diversity for marine park management in Australia's Gascoyne Marine Park.
Benthic foraminiferal assemblages from three areas forming a transect across the Torres Strait-Gulf of Papua shelf. The data was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-06-23. It includes relative abundances at the order level and distribution patterns of individual species, correlated with environmental variables like water depth, sediment composition, and organic carbon flux.
Southern China is the geographic origin of Polygala fallax Hemsl., a medicinal shrub. The dataset contains the complete chloroplast genome sequence, which is 164,687 base pairs long with a GC content of 36.9% and 135 annotated genes. It was sequenced and assembled by Zongkao Huang and published on figshare in June 2026.
Chukwudi Michael Ikegwu's dataset comprises 254 bibliographic records of Nigerian amphibian studies published from 1933 to August 2025. The data was harmonized from multiple bibliographic databases and includes publication trends, thematic evolution, and collaboration networks. It was last updated on 2026-05-26.
Australian Ocean Data Network hosts data from an incubation experiment studying the re-establishment of vertical bacterial and foraminiferal zonation in intertidal sediments after artificial disturbance. The dataset includes counts of living foraminifera and measurements of redox-sensitive pore water elements using voltammetric microelectrodes, alongside bacterial abundance quantified via phospholipid-derived fatty acid analysis. The experiment tracked recovery over a 49-day period.
Data collected in 2022 and 2023 integrates genotyping-by-sequencing and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing for White Hake (Urophycis tenuis) in eastern Canada. The dataset includes genomic data from fin samples, gut microbiome data from intestine samples, and environmental parameters like depth, temperature, oxygen, and salinity. It was produced by Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
A geospatial dataset identifying areas potentially suitable for heathland creation within the Midlands Heartland Heathland corridor. The data is derived from soil information and historic habitat records to target restoration efforts. Natural England is the organization, with contributions from Cranfield University, Ordnance Survey, and local councils, last updated on 2026-07-13.
NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project A3 provides a national assessment of white shark population size and status in Australia. The project aims to establish population estimates and trends for eastern and western populations to inform conservation and public safety policy. Outputs include tools for integrating tagging, genetic, and demographic data, as described by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
A study of infaunal biodiversity and ecological function on the Lord Howe Island shelf, conducted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It integrates high-resolution multibeam sonar seabed mapping with sediment and infauna samples collected using a Smith-McIntyre grab. The dataset was last updated on June 23, 2026.
Towed video and still images of the Australian seafloor collected by Geoscience Australia from 2007 onwards. The data includes footage from 21 marine surveys conducted between 2007 and 2013, covering coastal and deep-sea environments. Video is recorded 1-2 meters above the seafloor, providing sharp images of geological features, habitats, and organisms.
Australian Ocean Data Network provides data on the geomorphological evolution of Lord Howe Island, a volcanic island at the latitudinal limit to coral reef growth. The dataset likely contains information on submarine and subaerial carbonate sediments, erosional landforms, and the island's fringing reef. It was last updated on 2026-06-23.
A study of deep-water demersal fish distributions and their relationships with seabed habitats across three spatial scales at Cordell Bank in central California. Data was collected from 60 strip-transects using in situ observer and video-recorded data from the two-person Delta submersible. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in June 2026.
A study from the Australian Ocean Data Network tested the link between physical and biological datasets for the southern Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia. The results are based on physical factors including sediment composition, sediment mobility, water depth, and organic carbon flux, and their relationship to benthic macrofauna distribution and diversity. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-23.
The Lord Howe Rise region in the Tasman Sea covers 1.95 million km² and spans tropical to cool temperate latitudes from 18.4°S to 40.3°S. This review synthesizes physical and biological information, describing differences in species assemblages between raised seamounts and subdued sediment plateaus. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in 2026.
Biomarker and palynological data from the Middle Ordovician upper Goldwyer Formation provides evidence for the earliest land plant microfossils in Australia. The work combines molecular proxies like long-chain n-alkanes and their isotopic compositions with cryptospore microfossil records. This dataset, sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network, links geochemical signatures to palynology to study early plant evolution where fossil records are sparse.
Australia's tropical inshore dolphin species, including the Australian humpback dolphin, snubfin dolphin, Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin, and spinner dolphin, were reviewed for their conservation status. The project, conducted by the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, was a desktop review synthesizing peer-reviewed literature, research projects, and environmental impact assessments from 2013 to 2019. It compiled information on species distribution, abundance, trends, habitat use, population structure, and anthropogenic threats.
A national compilation of video clips from underwater sampling techniques like BRUV and Stereo-BOSS for quantifying fish abundance, size, and diversity. The collection includes curated highlights for specific marine protected areas and is contributed by institutions including IMAS, UWA, Geoscience Australia, and NESP Hubs. As of August 2024, it covers video from over 25 named Australian Marine Parks and the Port Davey Marine Reserve.
Geospatial forest inventory data from British Columbia is updated for depletions like harvesting and projected annually for growth. The Vegetation Resources Inventory spatial datasets describe the location and quantity of vegetation resources like timber volume and tree species. This dataset is published by the Forest Analysis and Inventory Branch of the Government of British Columbia and was last updated in June 2026.
