This dataset consists of plant species presence and abundance in different sizes of plots recorded from 259 1km squares across Great Britain in 2022 and 2023, as part of a rolling soil and vegetation monitoring program of 500 1km squares, beginning in 2019 and repeated...
Ecotoxicology data of coastal plants (Plantago coronopus) following exposure to microplastics and seawater inundation
This dataset contains ecotoxicological measurements of coastal plant species Plantago coronopus, following exposure to microplastics and seawater inundation. The variables measured include mortality, growth, reproductive output, necrosis and photosynthetic efficiency,...
Topsoil invertebrate density estimates from the Countryside Survey of Great Britain, 2007 using a generalized additive model
This dataset presents modelled estimates of soil invertebrate density (individuals m-2) at 1km2 resolution across Great Britain. A Generalized Additive Model approach was used with Countryside Survey soil invertebrate density data from 2007 and including climate, habitat,...
