Data Sheet 1_Alpine temporary ponds as overlooked sinks of anthropogenic macrolitter.pdf contains data from a study of macrolitter in eight high-altitude temporary ponds. The research, authored by Davide Taurozzi and published on figshare in June 2026, recorded 56 litter items, detailing their polymer type, origin, shape, size, and color. It reports an average density of 0.002 items per square meter and analyzes correlations with pond area and distance from a local restaurant.
A three-year field experiment in south Italy evaluated the effects of microbial and non-microbial plant biostimulants on chickpea under Mediterranean rainfed conditions. The dataset includes agronomic, physiological, qualitative, and spectral trait measurements across two genotypes and varying nitrogen fertilization rates. It was authored by Michele Andrea De Santis and published on figshare in June 2026.
Xuefei Sun's dataset on figshare describes research into the African swine fever virus (ASFV) gene D345L. The data likely contains experimental results showing that deletion of this gene attenuates the virus and induces protective immunity in pigs. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-25.
23 years of survey data (1997–2019) on the critically endangered Spotted Handfish (Brachionichthys hirsutus) in South-eastern Tasmania, extended to 2022. The project, led by the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub, consolidated imagery, length frequency, and GPS data to support population monitoring and artificial spawning habitat placement. Outputs include a time-series database and a final report with policy recommendations.
Field and laboratory data from Jiangxi Province, China, on the parasitism of Spodoptera exigua larvae by the tachinid fly Peribaea tibialis. The dataset includes field parasitism rates from 15.31% to 27.69% in 2024 and 2025, and laboratory results on host suitability. It was authored by Xuewei Qi and shared on figshare in May 2026.
A meta-analysis synthesizing 2,766 observations from published data on woody plant phytoremediation. The dataset covers 104 woody plant genera and 10 contaminants, analyzing effects on biomass, contaminant accumulation, and oxidative stress markers. It was authored by Zhongyu Du and last updated on 2026-05-08.
Geoscience Australia's Marine Survey 282 report details shallow gas presence and benthic habitat correlations in the Arafura Sea. The analysis confirmed microbial gas origins in Holocene mud-filled channels and identified pockmark fields with densities around 350 per square kilometer. The survey also mapped sea bed substrates, correlating harder areas with high biodiversity of sea whips, fans, soft corals, and other sessile benthos.
Parks Australia's 2022 map delineates marine ecosystems by habitat and depth across the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone. It uses a 250-meter resolution bathymetry grid from Geoscience Australia as its base and provides a nationally consistent, broad-scale categorization. The dataset is part of the National Environmental Science Program's Marine and Coastal Hub.
A 2021-2022 scoping study by the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub developed a framework for prioritizing seabed surveys in Australia. The project created a web-based tool and a national geospatial product identifying Areas of Interest (AOI) to guide future marine data collection. Outputs include a polygon dataset, an interactive map, and a final report detailing the prioritization framework.
A revised dataset of 7,836 images representing 8 distinct tomato leaf disease classes, created by combining images from various public sources to address class imbalance. The dataset was developed by Vaskor Mostafa and last updated on 2026-05-22. It is intended for training and testing object detection models in smart agriculture applications.
Monitoring and conservation data for Critically Endangered Spotted and Red Handfish in southern Tasmania from 2016 to 2020. The project used georeferenced photographic surveys, GPS tracking, and individual spot-pattern identification to support population analysis. Outputs include data on artificial spawning habitat placement, predator management, and mooring impacts to guide recovery planning.
NSW Neighbourhood Habitat Intactness Index measures the quality and connectivity of terrestrial habitat for every 90x90 meter pixel across New South Wales. The index, created by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, combines remote sensing and expert input to produce annual scores from 2017 onward. It underpins the state's Biodiversity Indicator Program and is reported in the NSW Biodiversity Outlook Report.
May 2025 survey data of benthic macroalgal communities from 30 intertidal stations in the Shengsi Archipelago, East China Sea. The dataset records 43 species, biomass, abundance, and diversity indices, and includes comparisons with historical data from 2010. It was authored by Lingling Wang and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Hangzhou Bay, China, is the focus of this dataset, which uses a long-term remote sensing framework to quantify salt marsh dynamics and carbon burial. The data covers 1986 to 2023, tracking transitions in wetland area, native and invasive species, and carbon sequestration. It was authored by Wenting Cao and published on figshare in 2026.
Parks Australia's 2025 National Values Ecosystems dataset delineates marine ecosystems by habitat and depth across the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone. This interim version uses a 250-meter resolution grid from Geoscience Australia's AusBathyTopo 2024 and incorporates improved input data, including the Seamap Australia National Benthic Habitat Layer. The dataset provides a broad-scale, nationally consistent classification of marine ecosystems but is not a validated habitat map.
The NSW Habitat Intactness Index is a geospatial raster dataset estimating terrestrial habitat condition relative to a natural state. It is produced by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, with annual layers available starting from 2017. The index values range from 0.0 for completely removed habitat to 1.0 for relatively intact habitat.
The Shark Bay Special Topographic Map covers an area of about 160 by 238 kilometers. It contains natural and constructed features including roads, vegetation, hydrography, and contours for the Francois Peron National Park and Shark Bay Marine Park. The map series covers all of Australia with 513 maps, with currency ranging from 1995 to 2009.
Portuguese waters contain a list of 28 validated fishing métiers, defined by gear and target species. The dataset, authored by Pedro Leitão, includes percentages of hauls across variables like season, fishing area, depth, and sediment type from 2014 to 2023. It is a small dataset of 35.7 KB, published under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
A 2026 project by the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, managed through the Australian Ocean Data Network, synthesizes existing marine data for Australia's North and Northwest regions. It focuses on key ecological features and Commonwealth Marine Reserves to improve ecosystem understanding and support management decisions. Planned outputs include predictive maps, conceptual models, and spatial data layers for the Oceanic Shoals CMR and other areas.
The Darwin Harbour Habitat Mapping Program provides a predicted seabed sand content grid for the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions. The dataset is a 10-meter resolution raster derived from 395 samples and seven environmental variables from multibeam sonar data collected between 2011 and 2017. This resource was created by Geoscience Australia, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, and the Northern Territory Government's Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
