Simulated motion of cylindrical woody debris travelling along a straight flume using the DualSPHysics modelling framework
This dataset contains outputs from the numerical simulations of a single cylindrical woody debris being released in a flume (0.6 m wide and 6.0 m long) with a flow depth of 0.208 m and travelling downstream. The outputs include: position, orientation, linear velocity...
Species richness and recording priority derived from species distribution models for Lepidoptera in Great Britain
This dataset includes a set of modelled outputs produced as part of the DECIDE project. Three groups were modelled; butterflies, day-flying moths and night-flying moths. (For the moths, we only considered 'macro-moths'.) For each group there are three outputs; species...
Invertebrate herbivory data across a natural soil temperature gradient in Iceland from May-July 2017
This is a dataset of environmental data, vegetation cover, and community- and species-level invertebrate herbivory, sampled at 14 experimental soil plots in the Hengill geothermal valley, Iceland, from May to July 2017. The plots span a temperature gradient of 5-35...
Sitka spruce-associated biodiversity in the UK (Sitka spruce Ecol)
Here we collate a database of all known birds, bryophytes, fungi, invertebrates, lichens and mammals that use Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) in the UK. Sitka spruce is the most commonly planted commercial tree species in the UK. In total 564 species are listed in the...
Plant composition in coastal foredunes of Florida and Georgia undergoing recovery from hurricane Irma, 2017
This dataset presents plant percentage cover by species, average plant cover and species richness for sites along the foredune area of sites distributed between Cape Canaveral (Florida) and Tybee Island (Georgia), USA. Plant cover by species was sampled on three occasions...
Surface temperature, surface oxygen, water clarity, water chemistry and phytoplankton chlorophyll a data from Esthwaite Water, UK, 2021-2022
This is part of an ongoing long-term monitoring dataset of surface temperature, surface oxygen, water clarity, water chemistry and phytoplankton chlorophyll a from fortnightly sampling at Esthwaite Water in Cumbria, England that began in 1945 for some variables. The...
Long-term multisite Scots pine trial, Scotland: cone and seed phenotypes, 2024
This dataset contains phenotypic data on Scots pine cones and seeds sampled from individual trees in a long-term common garden trial. For each tree, overall cone counts were conducted and five cones were sampled in February 2024. Seventeen phenotypic traits were measured...
Land Cover Map 2021 (10m classified pixels, N. Ireland)
This is a 10m pixel data set representing the land surface of Northern Ireland, classified into 21 UKCEH land cover classes, based upon Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. It is a two-band raster in GeoTiff format. The first band gives the most likely land cover...
Qualitative data on socio-economic characteristics from ten villages in Gurue, Mozambique
This dataset contains the transcripts of interviews and discussion groups from ten villages in the Gurue district, Zambezia province, Mozambique. The ten villages were selected from a land scarcity gradient running from villages with abundant land to those with intense...
Baseline soil pH data from Sourhope field experiment site, Scotland, 1999-2002 [NERC Soil Biodiversity Programme]
This data set details soil pH values and soil moisture values from experimental plots at a field site at Sourhope, Scotland, between 1998 and 2002. Data were collected as part of the NERC Soil Biodiversity Thematic Programme, which was established in 1999 and was centred...
Modelled fluvial flood hazard maps in Vietnam for the period 2070-2100
This dataset contains fluvial flood maps of the present day 1 in 20 year return period, and corresponding flood extents for 3 SSP (Shared Socioeconomic Pathway)/RCP(Representative Concentration Pathway) scenarios for the future (2070-2100). Change in flood return periods...
Foraging behaviour of Parus major held in temporary captivity
The data set describes foraging decisions by great tits (Parus major), held in temporary captivity. Data were collected from birds caught from forest at the University of Jyväskylä Research Station, Konnevesi (62°37.7'N 026°17'E), Finland, and were collected during...

Labile, recalcitrant, and refractory organic matter in soil samples from UK saltmarshes collected between 2018 and 2021
The dataset details the quantification of three different pools of organic matter (labile, recalcitrant, and refractory) within 1211 down core soil samples collect from across UK saltmarsh sites between 2018 - 2021. Additionally, the dataset presents a measure of organic...
Campanula rotundifolia cytotype, distribution and first flowering dates v2
Data were collected to determine the geographic distribution of different cytotypes of Campanula rotundifolia L. Most sampling concentrated on Britain and Ireland, but samples from mainland Europe, the Russian Federation and North America were also analysed. Following...

Radiocarbon dating of soil organic matter fractions along grassland-to-forest conversion chronosequences across Scotland
The dataset contains the radiocarbon age of soil organic matter fractions collected along grassland-to-forest conversion chronosequences across Scotland. Soil samples were collected in summer 2018. In summer 2019, soil samples were fractionated and the radiocarbon...
Abundance of pollinators and diversity of bees in Ghana and the effect of urbanisation and management practices
Data consists of abundance counts and diversity of pollinators collected in Ghana. Pollinators were sampled with pan-traps between August and November 2016 in 126 greenspaces spread over an urbanisation gradient and three management practices (amenity lands, farmed...
