Topsoil physico-chemical properties from the UKCEH Countryside Survey, Great Britain, 2021
This dataset consists of measures of topsoil (0-15 cm) physico-chemical properties from soils sampled from 110 x 1 km squares across Great Britain in 2021 as part of a rolling soil and vegetation monitoring program of 500 1km squares repeated every 5 years. The properties...
Python code to identify sources of chemical pollutants in waterways
This dataset contains python code to carry out source apportionment of chemicals in river water. Convex optimisation is used to efficiently apportion tracer and pollutant sources from point concentration observations. A minimum working example of the python code and...
Bacterial community structure and soil process data from a sewage sludge amended upland grassland soil experiment, 2000 [NERC Soil Biodiversity Programme]
This set of data comprises temporal temperature gradient electrophoresis (TTGE) and soil process measurements, used to analyse the effects of perturbations (sludge and/or lime application) on the structure, community development and activity of bacteria that catalyse...
Physico-chemical water properties and greenhouse gas measurements along a longitudinal estuary transect, Clyde estuary, Scotland, 2020-2022
These data include greenhouse gas concentrations and physio-chemical water properties for the Clyde estuary in Scotland to support understanding of the GHG sources and sinks and their associated mechanisms in a highly stratified, temperate urban estuary. These measurements...

United Kingdom Butterfly Monitoring Scheme: phenology 2019
This dataset provides data on the timing of butterfly flight periods for each UK butterfly species across all monitored sites in the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS). Annual data from over 2,500 sites are presented relating to the timing (first appearance, last...
Topsoil physico-chemical properties from the UKCEH Countryside Survey, Great Britain, 2022
This dataset consists of measures of topsoil (0-15 cm) physico-chemical properties from soils sampled from 110 x 1-km squares across Great Britain in 2022 as part of a rolling soil and vegetation monitoring program of 500 1-km squares repeated every 5 years. The properties...
Nectar consumption, metabolic rate and activity datasets for bumblebees exposed to ecologically relevant radiation dose rates
This dataset contains information on the volume of nectar consumed, metabolic rate and activity of bumblebees that were exposed to environmentally relevant dose rates of ionising radiation at the University of Stirling. Data is for two connected experiments collected...
Antibiotic resistance genes found in soils across the entire Scottish landscape (2007-10)
The dataset collates the relative concentration of nearly 300 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes found in soil locations across Scotland. Soils were obtained from the National Soils Inventory of Scotland (NSIS2), from which the total community DNA were extracted...

Decadal maps of multiple alternative future land use based on UK Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (UK-SSPs) and climate projections (UK-RCPs)
The data describes future land use projections at 1 km^2 resolution developed by CRAFTY-GB. For each of six Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP-RCP) scenarios, gridded land use maps for Great Britain are provided, each as a stacked raster file with seven bands representing...
Vegetation change at Whim peatbog (2002-2016)
The data consist of observations of cover of plant species in permanent quadrats in a nitrogen deposition experiment on a peat bog. The experiment was located at Whim Moss in central Scotland, between 2002 and 2016. Recording of cover was by visual assessment in 40...

Heliconius butterfly collection records in the Chocó-Darien Rainforest (Ecuador, Colombia, Panama) 2014-2016
These data comprise collection records of Heliconius butterfly samples collected in the Chocó-Darien ecoregion between the Andes and the Pacific in Ecuador and Colombia, and the Pacific coast of the Darien region of Panama. Samples were collected over five sampling...
Physiological responses of marine phytoplankton to acute and chronic thermal stress
These data comprise the physiology-based measurements made on the cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. and Synechococcus sp., the pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, and the coccolithophore Emiliana huxleyi. A variety of experimental manipulations were carried out...
Channel topography and grain-scale sediment structure, measured in flume experiments
Terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) and CT scan data collected during flume experiments on a gravel bed. TLS data show the bed surface topography before and after waterworking of the bed. CT scan data show the 3D structure of sections of the river bed after waterworking....
Physiological variation in wild and lab-reared threespine sticklebacks from Icelandic geothermal and ambient sites
Data contain measurements of physiological variation in threespine stickleback from Icelandic populations. The data includes metabolic rates measured on individual stickleback fish across three temperatures (Metabolism.csv), inter-individual variation in distances between...
High resolution dendrometer records, Sirsi, Western Ghats, India 2020-2021
The growth data contribute to determine the diversity of growth strategies of trees in the region as well as growth responses to varying climate. The climate data accompany other datastreams including continuously recorded leaf temperatures (using thermistors and thermal...
Growth, biomass allocation and tissue nutrient concentrations of subtropical and tropical tree seedlings in response to experimental manipulation of soil phosphorus pools
This dataset reports metrics of plant growth, including height, total biomass and the biomass of component plant parts, and percentage root colonisation by mycorrhizas, for tree seedlings of eight tropical and seven subtropical growing in pots of soil that had been...
