A 1 km resolution global map series of winter wheat fractional cover from 2001 to 2020, created by Yanan Wen. The dataset was generated using MODIS satellite data and a Gaussian mixture model framework, validated against FAO statistics and local maps. It covers key global planting areas and was last updated in May 2026.
GEDI's high-resolution laser ranging from the International Space Station provides 3D ecosystem structure data globally between 51.6° N and 51.6° S. The Level 2B product extracts biophysical metrics like canopy cover and Plant Area Index from each waveform at a 25-meter footprint resolution. This dataset, produced by NASA, includes known acquisition gaps and resumed operations in April 2024.
GEDI L1B Geolocated Waveform Data provides high-resolution laser ranging observations of Earth's 3D structure from the International Space Station. The dataset, produced by NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation mission, contains geolocated, corrected, and smoothed waveforms for eight beams, with an average footprint resolution of 25 meters. Data collection occurred globally between 51.6° N and 51.6° S, with a hiatus from March 2023 to April 2024 before operations resumed.
11,811 seedling leaves from 415 woody species were surveyed using a standardized field protocol across five elevational transects in subtropical mountains. The dataset compares mean and variability of herbivory and examines influences from plant size, diversity, and abiotic conditions. Authored by Xiaoran Wang and last updated in May 2026, it provides evidence for how herbivory variability responds to environmental gradients.
A method for designing ecological surveys that incorporates pre-existing monitoring sites while maintaining spatial balance, illustrated using a large marine reserve in South-Eastern Australia. The methodology is described in a 2017 publication by Foster et al. in Methods in Ecology and Evolution. An R-package called MBHdesign implements the methods.
Geoscience Australia compiled outlines for the maximum extent of geomorphic units within Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone, including offshore island territories. The data set includes unit names, source information, feature codes, province codes, area, and perimeter for each unit. It was published in October 2006 and is accompanied by Geoscience Australia Record 2003/30.
The dataset contains concentrations of metals and metalloids in plants sampled during a spill monitoring program in November 2015. The main objective was to assess potential spill effects by comparing results from samples taken before, during, and after the spill. The data was published by the Government and Municipalities of Québec on the open_canada platform.
Annual time-series of Sentinel-2 satellite imagery from Digital Earth Australia maps mangrove, saltmarsh, intertidal, and intertidal seagrass ecosystems across Australia at 10-meter resolution. The dataset supports national environmental accounting and coastal management efforts. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Annual recreational angling license sales data from British Columbia collected via the BC Freshwater Fishing e-Licencing system. Sales are summarized by residency type, product category, and license type for each license year from April 2010 to March 2024. The dataset is provided by the Government of British Columbia and was last updated in April 2026.
VEMAP Phase I Database provides georeferencing and cell area variables for modeling ecosystem responses to environmental change. This multi-institutional, international project supports the intercomparison of biogeochemistry and vegetation distribution models. The dataset was revised in 2002 and is distributed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center.
Middle to Late Pleistocene fossil femur of Zalophus, dredged from the Taiwan Strait. The dataset includes the first pinniped fossil discovered in Taiwan and represents the southernmost record of Zalophus in the western North Pacific. It was authored by Cheng-Han Sun and published on figshare in 2026.
A statistical summary table for the Vegetation Width metric at the reach level, part of the 2010 Index of Stream Condition assessment for Victoria. The Department of Environment and Primary Industries developed the data using remote sensing from 2010-2013, specifically LiDAR and 15cm aerial photography. The table is designed to join to a river centerlines feature class.
The ISC2010_VEGETATION_WIDTH_S table provides statistical summaries for the Vegetation Width metric at 100-meter river sections. It was created by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) using remote sensing data from 2010-2013 to assess the Index of Stream Condition in Victoria. The data is designed to join to a river centerline feature class for spatial analysis.
The Northern Australian Reef Mapping through Georeferenced Media dataset compiles 480 videos, 20 articles, and 6 datasets reviewed for project NESP MaC 3.17. It was designed as a research tool for virtual fieldwork to understand shallow reef habitats across northern Australia. The Australian Ocean Data Network published an initial version on 2024-04-10.
Mexico's biodiversity is analyzed using 159 phylogenetic trees for 54 species of the plant genus Roldana. The dataset includes 12 molecular phylogenies and 147 phylogenies constructed with taxonomic data to include all described Mexican taxa. It was created by Luis Morales-Garduño and last updated on April 20, 2026.
Isla del Coco and Costa Rica Pacific margin seamounts are the source for specimens used to describe a new family of gorgonian octocorals. The dataset, authored by Andrea Quattrini and last updated in May 2026, includes genetic and morphological data collected via ROV SuBastian at depths of 360–529 meters. It supports a phylogenomic analysis using ultraconserved elements and exons to resolve deep evolutionary relationships.
Aiswarya Radhakrishnan's 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the neuro-reparative potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in preclinical models of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The analysis synthesizes data from 8 studies involving 308 animals, with 182 included in the quantitative meta-analysis. It reports standardized mean differences for outcomes like cognitive function, motor performance, and various biochemical markers.
A list of PFam32 loci accession numbers derived from an analysis of 86 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genomes. The dataset was created by Sabrina Hepner and last updated in May 2026. It supports research into the variable plasmid repertoire of Lyme disease-causing bacteria.
A vegetated shingle habitat map polygon shapefile created by the Environment Agency. The map is derived from CASI multispectral data, Lidar elevation data, and ground data, using supervised classification with quantitative accuracy assessment via a confusion matrix. The product merges data from multiple sites across multiple years.
A polygon shapefile showing saltmarsh habitat classes across multiple sites and years. The map is derived from CASI multispectral and LIDAR elevation data, classified using ground data and supervised methods with quantitative accuracy assessment. © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2020.
