This dataset contains chemical and physical composition of soil for four elevations on Mount Etna. Soil samples were collected in 2017 and 2019 and then analysed for chemical and physical composition by a commercial laboratory in Catania, Sicily. The measurements were...

Data comprise concentration ratios for lead and 210Pb in terrestrial wildlife and plants, and residual maximum likelihood (REML) model values for taxons (order, family and genus). Pb was used as an example of the derivation and application of a REML model for terrestrial...

This dataset contains a mosquito species table with counts for adults and larvae. Samples are from twelve UK wetland sites, sampled between April 2017 and September 2018. A map included in the documentation included with this data shows site locations, which include...

This is part of a long-term monitoring dataset from fortnightly sampling at the North Basin of Windermere in Cumbria, England. The data have been collected by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH). The data available to download comprise hypolimnion temperature...

This dataset contains energy expenditure, sea surface temperature, foraging activity, day length, longitude, latitude, distance from the coastline and mass data from 17 common guillemots (Uria aalge) from the Isle of May during the 2016-2017 annual cycle.

This dataset includes tree ring width data, derived from tree cores, that were sampled from sites across the Rhön Biosphere Reserve (Germany). At each chosen site three trees were cored, with two or three cores taken per cored tree. Data was collected in August 2021....

This dataset measures colour and estimates body size of ant species collected across four vertical strata: subterranean, ground, understory and canopy in lowland tropical rainforest. Ants were collected using different trapping techniques in each stratum; baited traps...

The data resource contains Drosophila simulans backcross female mate choice (phenotype) aligned with whole-genome genotypes of 784 female backcross progeny. The data were generated in a laboratory at Stony Brook University, New York and each test was conducted in 28.5...

This dataset contains analytical results for wild yeast isolates from soil samples at and near a disused metal smelting works in the north-east of the UK. The main contaminant from the smelting works was lead (Pb), but Cd was also elevated. The soil near the smelting...

Data comprise monitoring records of a population of Gryllus campestris, a flightless, univoltine field cricket that lives in and around burrows excavated among the grass in a meadow in Asturias (North Spain). The area has an altitude range from around 60 to 270 metres...

This dataset provides input files for LAMMPS open access molecular dynamics software ( https://www.lammps.org/ ) and contains simulation details, force field parameters, and topology information for polymer crystallisation at a surface that will enable a researcher...

This is a dataset generated from information extracted from previously published studies, for the purpose of a meta-analysis investigating fitness benefits of different migratory strategies in partially migratory populations. Each line of data includes a mean and associated...

The data are derived from Alnus glutinosa plants grown in intact soil cores collected from beneath three co-occurring tree species. The data describe plant above and below ground biomass, coarse and fine root biomass, colonisation of roots by Frankia and ectomycorrhizal...

This dataset contains time series observations of land surface-atmosphere net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange (NEE) and supporting micrometeorological observations collected at 13 peatland eddy covariance (EC) flux observation sites located across Wales, Scotland...

The data set comprises vegetation species and abundance information, surveyed using a 50 x 50 cm point quadrat, from a selection of the plots within an experimental site at Sourhope, Scotland. The surveys were carried out in the summers of 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and...

The data resource consists of half hourly time series of heat (latent and sensible) and trace gas (carbon dioxide and methane) fluxes obtained by eddy-covariance, gas concentrations and ancillary meteorological data (e.g. air temperature, relative humidity, pressure,...

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...

This is a 25m pixel data set representing the land surface of Great Britain, classified into 21 UKCEH land cover classes, based upon Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. It is a three-band raster in GeoTiff format, produced by rasterising three properties of the...

This dataset consists of physical, chemical and ecological water quality variables collected at Blelham Tarn during 2016-2017. Profiles for the following variables were collected on a weekly scale during the stratified period of the lake and fortnightly or monthly timescales...

Vascular plant and bryophyte survey data from a 33-year chronosequence on bare chalk, used to investigate primary succession. The bare chalk plots were created from archaeological excavations on Down Farm, north Dorset, between the years 1986 and 2018, resulting in...
