Flora and fauna data from agricultural land under differing crop and management regimes, 2006-2010 - RELU Effects of scale in organic agriculture
This dataset consists of ecology data from 16 paired field sites; each pair consisting of an organic and conventional farm. A multiscale sampling design was employed to assess the impact of (i) location-within-field (field margin vs. edge vs. centre), (ii) crop type...
Bioclimatic envelopes for global plant species
Bioclimatic envelopes for over 200,000 plant species. The data comprises a single csv file, containing the average value of the climate envelope per species for each of the following variables: Minimum temperature (K), Maximum temperature (K), Average temperature (K),...
Radar derived seasonal surface water maps for three Indian districts (Shivamogga, Sindhudurg, Wayanad), 2017-2018
Data provided are monthly surface water layers extracted from Sentinel1A SAR data for 3 districts in India (Shivamogga, Sindhudurg, Wayanad) for the year 2017 and 2018. Surface water body layers were mapped using an average monthly threshold value extracted from the...
Fine root biomass in fertilised plots in the Central Amazon, 2017-2019
The dataset contains the weight of fine root (<2 mm) at two soil depths (0-10 cm and 10-30 cm) collected in a field site approximately 80 km north of Manaus, in the state of Amazonas, Brasil. Data were obtained by the in growth core method, in campaigns conducted every...
Bird abundance and distribution on Peak District farms and moorlands, 2007-2008 - RELU Sustainability of hill farming
This data set consists of the tabulated results of bird surveys on Peak District farms and moorlands. Bird abundance and distribution on Peak District farms and moorlands, 2007-2008 The study is part of the NERC Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme. The project...
Impacts of increasing land use under energy crops - ecology data, 2006-2009
Ecological field data for a variety of biodiversity indicators were collected from commercial fields of both crops. The study is part of the NERC Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme. Future policies are likely to encourage more land use under energy crops: principally...
Tick ecology data and risk maps, 2007-2010 - RELU Assessing and communicating animal disease risks for countryside users
This dataset consists of tick sampling and microclimate data from Exmoor, Richmond and New Forest study sites; as well as ARCGIS risk maps that model tick abundance driven by climate surfaces and host abundance. Tick sampling data (91 files, each representing a day...
Long-term multisite Scots pine trial, Scotland: temperatures and temperature variances for tree nurseries, 2007-2012
This dataset contains daily temperature and temperature variance measurements recorded at three nurseries in Scotland between 2007 and 2012. Each nursery contained Scots pine trees grown using seed collected from 21 native Caledonian pinewood provenances, with 8 seedlings...
Semiochemical experiment data, 2005-2009 - RELU Re-bugging the system: promoting adoption of alternative pest management strategies in field crop systems
The semiochemical experiment data were collected from novel laboratory, semi-field- and field-scale bioassay experiments taking behavioural observations and counts of pest insects and their natural enemies in the field. Crop yields were taken. Chemical analyses were...
Bat and bird survey data from different agricultural land use gradients in Ghana and Zambia, 2020-2023
This dataset consists of bird observation and mist netting records for both bats and birds collected from December 2020 to March 2023. The data collection employed a mixed-methods approach incorporating point counts and mist netting techniques. Surveys were carried...
Palaeoecological measurements from the Peak District and north west Sutherland 2007-2010 - RELU Foundations for the future: learning from the past
This dataset consists of palaeoecological measurements taken at sites in the Peak District and NW Sutherland during the NERC Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme. This data collection includes the results from four interlinked projects combining quantitative...
Global ensembles of Ecosystem Service map outputs modelled at 1km resolution for water supply, recreation, carbon storage, fuelwood and forage production
This data set contains Global maps of five ecosystem services using 6 different among-model ensemble approaches: the provisioning services of water supply, biomass for fuelwood and forage production, the regulating service Carbon Storage for CO2 retention and the cultural...
