DNA metabarcoding data from arthropod samples collected in National Forest Inventory woodland plots across England during 2023/24. The dataset lists species detected per sample, includes read counts, taxonomic classifications, IUCN threat status, and invasive species flags. It was generated by NatureMetrics and is published by the Forestry Commission under the UK Government's Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment programme.
The European Union's register of Natura 2000 protected areas, maintained under the Birds and Habitats Directives. Data is provided by the Data Department of the State e-Government Agency and includes unique codes, names, and official proclamation details for each site. The register aims to keep up-to-date information on zones officially declared by the Minister of Environment and Water.
Research outputs from a project underpinning the repair and conservation of Australia's threatened coastal-marine habitats. The project provides essential research to increase the success of shellfish reef and salt marsh restoration efforts and quantifies their benefits. It was produced by the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
A list of bird species documented for the Lake Neusiedl region, compiled by authors Kirchberger & Reischl. The data represents a snapshot of the area's avifauna as of November 2013. The list was created through cooperation with BirdLife Austria and the cross-border Neusiedler See — Seewinkel Fertö — Hanság National Park.
The Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen are a 400-hectare grassland area in the north-east of Lake Neusiedl, Austria, forming the largest coherent grassland in Burgenland. The area is a significant part of the conservation zone of the National Park Neusiedler See Seewinkel and has been protected since 1926. The dataset likely contains information on land use, habitat types, and biodiversity for this protected area.
A study of vascular plant species on 123 summits across 32 European regions, with resurvey data from 17 regions and 6-year soil temperature series. The dataset likely contains records of species cover and temperature sums analyzed to assess the impact of aspect and microclimate on plant diversity, colonisation, and disappearance. The research was conducted by a cooperation involving OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich.
A dataset mapping seabed environments in Esperance Bay, part of the Recherche Archipelago in temperate southwestern Australia. It was created by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-06-17. The data integrates multibeam sonar, underwater video, predicted wave energy, and sediment samples to examine relationships between geomorphology and habitat distribution.
283 wave- and tide-dominated estuaries and deltas across Australia were mapped for geomorphic features and sedimentary facies. The dataset quantitatively evaluates established evolutionary models, revealing insights such as an offshore shift in sand accumulation during delta development and larger intertidal areas in wave-dominated deltas. This large-sample statistical study provides a continental-scale basis for predicting geomorphic and habitat changes.
The East Antarctic slope on the Sabrina margin has been shaped by diverse processes related to repeated glaciation. This dataset, published in Marine Geology in 2020, describes gully morphology and associated seafloor communities, highlighting the uniqueness of this environment for biodiversity. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
AGSO's 1995-96 Petrel Sub-basin Study aimed to understand the stratigraphic and structural development of the basin for resource exploration. The study defined basement elements, tectonic events, basin fill, and factors controlling petroleum systems. It was conducted by the Marine, Petroleum and Sedimentary Resources Division as part of the North West Shelf Project.
An 8-year model of combined flow bed shear stress quantifies seabed exposure across the entire Australian continental shelf. Output from numerical models predicting waves, tides, winds, and density-driven currents was used to compute stresses from March 1997 to February 2005. The Australian Ocean Data Network provides three regionalisation methods to classify exposure based on event magnitude and frequency.
A collaborative National Environmental Science Program project established an inventory of environmental and cultural data for offshore renewable energy development. The inventory covers five proposed and declared development areas in Australia, including Hunter, Gippsland, and the Southern Ocean. It details potential impacts, best practice monitoring standards, and the cultural values of Indigenous communities linked to the development areas.
A geospatial dataset models bird habitat suitability in China's Zoige Wetland National Park. It was generated by Gulin Li using an optimized MaxEnt model based on 319 occurrence records and 16 environmental factors, with results published in 2026. The analysis identifies 27,150.75 km² of suitable habitat and ranks key environmental drivers like distance to roads and precipitation.
Grand-Est, France, is the focus of a field study on sand flies, vectors of Leishmania and phleboviruses. The dataset includes results from 146 samples collected at 25 localities in July-August 2025, detecting 36 specimens across 12 sites. Authored by Francis Schaffner, the data was last updated in May 2026.
Northern Ireland Environment Agency surveys identify priority fen habitats in Counties Down, Armagh, and Tyrone. The data focuses on inter-drumlin fens and lowland fens and reedbeds, which are important under the EU Habitats Directive. This represents a partial dataset and does not include the complete fen resource across Northern Ireland.
Two advanced operational layers for a bare-metal processing ecosystem, designed to eliminate data packet drops and scheduling delays in critical environments. The dataset includes a Cubic Hermite Spline spatial interpolator and a low-level Serial Peripheral Interface hardware bus driver module, both implemented without a floating-point unit or dynamic memory heap. It was authored by Jamie Davis and published on figshare in 2026.
The Australian Ocean Data Network presents seabed geomorphology and habitat maps supporting offshore renewable energy development. The maps synthesize interpretations of bathymetry, shallow geology, sedimentology, and ecology data to illustrate seabed features, compositions, and processes. This work was presented at the 2024 AMSA-NZMSS Conference in Hobart, Tasmania.
From November 2004 to October 2005, mesozooplankton community composition was examined in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, Huon Estuary, and North West Bay, Tasmania. This specific record contains data collected on 17 August 2005, detailing species abundance and distribution. The data was made available by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Edward Castañeda-Moya collected data on mangrove forest structural attributes and zonation patterns in relation to soil and hydroperiod gradients. The dataset, associated with a 2006 publication, covers four sites in the Gulf of Fonseca, Honduras, surveyed between October 2000 and August 2001. It is a 1.7 MB collection available in multiple formats under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Greater Sydney Canopy Access 2022 provides information on community access to tree canopy cover across Greater Sydney. The dataset was created by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure from aerial imagery captured between October 2022 and February 2023. It consists of vegetation cover data in a hexagonal vector grid format for each Local Government Area and the entire region.
