Riverine species and environmental data collected for a field experiment testing ecological restoration. The dataset relates to the study by Thompson et al. published in the Journal of Applied Ecology in 2017. The data was aggregated by the Government Digital Service via the eu_open_data platform.
Use Cases
- Modeling causal effects of habitat restoration on biodiversity based on the experimental design.
- Analyzing changes in riverine food web structure following large woody debris introduction.
- Assessing species-level responses to environmental manipulation described in the study.
Strengths
- Data is linked to a peer-reviewed scientific publication (Thompson et al., 2017, Journal of Applied Ecology).
- The dataset originates from a controlled field experiment designed to test causal evidence.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
