8.6 MB of genomic data investigates prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities in holopelagic Sargassum mats. The dataset, authored by Katharina Paetz and last updated in May 2026, compares biodiversity between a Sargassum aquafarm off St. Vincent and an unimpacted adjacent bay. It identifies key species like the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Rivularia spp. and epiphytes such as E. bellula.
South Korean zoo animal welfare assessments from 2023 using the Modified Animal Welfare Assessment Grid (M-AWAG). The dataset includes welfare scores across physical, psychological, environmental, and procedural categories for 11 species in 16 zoos, correlated with measured environmental variables like temperature, humidity, sound, and illuminance. The data was collected by a team of trained inspectors including a wildlife veterinarian, a zookeeper, and an animal welfare researcher.
An audio recording of Juma Athumani Mpendu and peers discussing fishing locations at a camp by a pond. The 27.4 MB WAV file, authored by Marie-Annick Moreau, was last updated on June 3, 2026. The recording captures explanations for choosing the fishing site based on the presence of a camp, fishers, and fish.
An interview with two elders, Mzee Kulenga and Mzee Ndile, discussing the collection and traditional uses of the milala palm. The 41.4 KB dataset, authored by Marie-Annick Moreau, is stored in EAF format and was last updated on June 3, 2026. The description includes a note about informant perceptions of the research project.
A 2025 study by Carl Gosper et al. tested flupropanate herbicide for controlling invasive African lovegrass in a conservation context. The dataset contains plot-level measurements of plant species cover and condition from a before-after-control-impact design in Mediterranean-climate south-western Australia. It was published by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions under a CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.
March 2007 data on remnant tree stands in the Hornsby Shire Local Government Area, Australia. Hornsby Shire Council mapped 569 stands in the urban district and 866 stands in the southern rural district, covering a total area of about 538.8 hectares. The stands represent remnants of 15 and 14 different native vegetation communities, respectively, including several listed as critically endangered or endangered.
The Oceanic Shoals Commonwealth Marine Reserve in northern Australia is the focus of this dataset, which compiles a species-level inventory from three marine surveys. Approximately 750 sponge specimens were collected and assigned to 348 species, with only 18% being taxonomically described. The data was used to analyze biodiversity patterns in relation to geomorphic features and environmental variables to inform marine management.
Australian waters off Hillarys, Western Australia, are covered by this underway dataset from the 19th March 2014 research voyage. The Australian Ocean Data Network provides continuous measurements including GPS navigation, thermosalinograph, and fluorometer data. Data are stored at 1-second, 10-second, and 5-minute intervals in NetCDF and CSV formats.
From 1999 to 2003, the BigFoot project collected multi-year, in-situ field data at selected EOS Land Validation Sites across North America. The dataset includes measurements of FPAR, nitrogen content, root biomass, LAI, tree biomass, soil respiration, NPP, and vegetation inventories across six to nine sites representing distinct biomes. NASA organized this project to validate MODIS satellite-derived products like land cover, LAI, and NPP by combining ground measurements with high-resolution remote sensing and ecosystem models.
2.2 GB of structural biology data for four ribosome complexes related to antimicrobial peptide action. Validation reports, 3D atomic models, and cryo-EM density maps were authored by Max J. Berger and released under CC-BY-4.0. The dataset was last updated on June 4, 2026.
Central Vietnam's Hung Phat site provides an image library of plant macrofossils from the Plio-Pleistocene Kon Tum flora, collected in January 2020. The dataset accompanies a 2025 primary article in Palaeontologia Electronica by Tengxiang Wang and colleagues. It is a 7.5 GB ZIP file containing fossil images, with specimen identifiers linked to repository numbers via an appendix.
Lucy Coleman's 2026 study provides the first formal habitat analysis for the little-known Eyrean Grasswren. The research, conducted at Ethabuka Reserve on the northern edge of the species' range, surveyed 53 transects covering 106 km using call playback. Findings indicate grasswren occurrence depends on sandhill canegrass structure, vegetation diversity, and fire history.
Data and R code from a study investigating the effects of nutrient enrichment on soil biodiversity and ecosystem functions. The dataset, authored by Zhengkun Hu and last updated on April 27, 2026, includes parameters for mineral nutrients, microbial and nematode diversity, biomass, and soil decomposition potentials. It is available in multiple file formats including CSV and XLSX.
CMS: Modeled Net Ecosystem Exchange at 3-hourly Time Steps, 2004-2010 provides global, gridded estimates of CO2 flux between land and the atmosphere. The dataset contains outputs from 15 global land surface models and four ensemble products from the MsTMIP project, covering a seven-year period. It is produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
SATFiD is a harmonized collection of in-situ field data from 37 existing datasets, covering Alaskan tundra sites. It integrates variables like active layer thickness, vegetation cover by functional type, soil moisture, soil temperature, and wildfire history. The dataset, produced by NASA, compiles measurements from field surveys conducted between 1972 and 2020.
Geoecology is a compilation of county-level environmental data for the conterminous United States. It provides a historical baseline from 1941 to 1981, covering terrain, soils, water, forestry, vegetation, agriculture, land use, wildlife, air quality, climate, natural areas, and endangered species, complemented by selected human population characteristics. The dataset is maintained by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Melanie Eiting developed a database of 510 moss species with ecological indicator values for urban greening planning. The database supports filtering by botanical and German names, moss types, and indicator values for light, temperature, continentality, moisture, and reaction on a 1–9 scale. It was last updated on 2026-05-11 and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
NASA provides a 35-year global dataset of monthly average Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) modeled at an 8 km spatial resolution. The model refines the standard Monteith light use efficiency equation by optimizing LUE values with FLUXNET tower data, then extrapolates using climatic, landscape, and vegetation variables. This long-term record is derived from GIMMS3g FPAR and MERRA-2 meteorological inputs.
Geoscience Australia Data modeled the frequency and magnitude of physical seabed disturbance across Australia's continental shelf. The analysis applies the intermediate disturbance hypothesis, deriving maps for a dimensionless ecological disturbance index based on wave, tide, and cyclone energy. This 2026 report represents a first-of-its-kind analysis for any continental shelf on Earth.
A dataset from a randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of Bifidobacterium infantis strain Bi-26 supplementation on growth and health outcomes in underweight infants. The trial involved 40 infants aged 30–120 days with a weight-for-age Z score below -2, receiving daily oral Bi-26 or placebo for 28 days with follow-up to day 90. Data includes fecal B. infantis levels, microbiome composition, metabolome, cytokine profiles, adverse events, and growth measurements.
