This dataset contains information about the number of bacterial colonies recovered from plastics beads that were incubated in a 96-well plate for 24 hours at 37 degrees Celsius. Each well in the plate had 1 bead composed of polycaprolactone in it and 150 microlitres…

The dataset contain insect numbers, plant biomass, successful attacks of parasitoids, and behavioural response of parasitoids. The data are based on direct observations of insects and plants in field and laboratory experiments testing for the impact of different intensities…

Data deposited includes all raw measurement data (.csv files) of the neotropical katydid species such as body length and body weight along with the ingredient breakdown of the various diets used. Also included are Laser Doppler Vibrometry data (.txt files; used to scan…

Motion activated camera traps were installed in pine woodland and regenerating heathland from 2010 as part of UK Environmental Change Network long-term monitoring in the Allt a'Mharcaidh catchment, Cairngorms National Park, Scotland. The image catalogue contains…

Bulk elemental (carbon and nitrogen) and stable isotope (delta 13C and delta 15N) data produced from 491 samples collected between 2016-2021 from terrestrial (soil, peat, living biomass, dead biomass), intertidal (saltmarsh vegetation, saltmarsh roots, seagrass biomass,…

The dataset looks at Fungal hyphal in-growth into sandbags at two of the MOORCO experimental tree planting sites in North East Scotland (Glensaugh and Ballogie). The MOORCO experiment is an experimental tree planting project established on heather moorland in North…

This dataset contains information on life history variation and population dynamics in response to coloured environmental variation in the laboratory model system comprised of the moth Plodia interpunctella (Pyralidae; Hübner) and the parasitoid wasp Venturia canescens…

This dataset contains weather conditions, water quality, water chemistry and crustacean zooplankton counts sampled at Loch Leven throughout the year 2022. Loch Leven is a lowland lake in Scotland, United Kingdom. The data were collected as part of a long-term monitoring…

This dataset includes catchment stream inflow and outflow rates, secchi depth, chlorophyll, phytoplankton counts and nutrient concentrations for the lake, inflow, outflow and groundwater spring. The measurements are from a PhD research project at Rostherne Mere in Cheshire.…

This data contains the results of student and professional perceptions surveys conducted in the UK before and after e-Learning training, as part of a project to determine the effectiveness of e-Learning as a training tool. The dataset include two surveys; before and…

This dataset describes the seed dispersal process of both invaded (presence of Linepithema humile) and non-invaded (absence of L. humile) ant communities. Data were collected from Jonkershoek Nature Reserve (33°55'51"S, 18°51'16"E) in South Africa, during the summer…

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…

This dataset provides diatom taxon abundance data from 11 rivers in the Cordillera Blanca region of the Peruvian Andes. Benthic diatoms were collected from a 9 cm2 surface on five submerged cobbles at each river site. Diatoms were identified and abundances determined…

Hydrological and meteorological data were collected for three plots (each 50 x 50 m in size) near Andasibe village in the Corridor Ankeniheny-Zahamena (CAZ) in eastern Madagascar. The plots differ in terms of land cover: semi-mature forest, reforested tree fallow (i.e.,…

The dataset contains the day of year for the onset and end of thermal stratification and its total length in Blelham Tarn, Esthwaite Water, Windermere, north basin and Windermere, south basin between 1951 and 2017. This work was supported by the Natural Environment…

We provide data on how the body temperature of field crickets Gryllus campestris rises and falls in relation to exposure to the sun and environmental factors include ground and air temperature, diffuse and shortwave radiation, and wind speed. Crickets were in a meadow…

This dataset contains baseline soil carbon and nitrogen content within a native forest creation site on the Beldorney Estate, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. 17 samples were collected on a 100 m grid at the site prior to planting. The 100 m grid was extended into adjacent…

This dataset comprises silica concentrations in water from Loch Leven, Scotland, between years 2007 and 2023. Loch Leven is a lowland lake in Scotland, United Kingdom. The data were collected as part of the long-term monitoring programme, which began in 1968 and is…
