Porewater and microbial community properties of permeable riverbed sediments across the south of England, 2018
This dataset contains in-stream measurements of sediment porewater nutrients, nitrification rates (and the fraction which is either fully oxidised to nitrate or reduced to N2 gas), and the abundance of microbial 16S rRNA and specific N-cycling genes and transcripts....
The Isle of May long-term study (IMLOTS) seabird annual breeding success 1982-2021
This dataset contains calculated breeding success rates for six seabird species from representative colonies on the Isle of May, off the East coast of Scotland. Annual breeding success has been measured as the number of chicks fledged per active nest for the Atlantic...

Biomass data from Sourhope field experiment site, Scotland, 1999-2002 [NERC Soil Biodiversity Programme]
The data set comprises biomass values and mineral nutrient values from experimental plots located at Sourhope, Scotland. On five occasions throughout each of the 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 growing seasons, grass cuttings were collected from a 50 x 50 cm cell area from...
Diet, gut microbiome and parasite data from wild rodents and diet shift data from captive rodents, 2014-2018
This dataset is a combination of data obtained from a longitudinal live trapping study of wild rodents in Wytham Woods, Oxford (51.796 N,-1.367 W); October 2015-18), a dissection study of rodents caught in the same woodland (October 2017-18), and a diet shift experiment...
Technetium-99 (99Tc) transformations in aerobic soils following experimental addition of the radioactive anion 99TcO4-
The data comprise measurements of the 'soluble', 'adsorbed' and 'organically bound' 99Tc concentrations in a diverse set of soils following experimental addition of 99TcO4- and incubation in the laboratory under controlled temperature conditions for 897 days. The long...
Spatial mapping of surficial soil organic carbon storage and stocks across Great British saltmarshes
The geospatial dataset maps organic carbon (OC) storage (kg OC m-2) and OC stocks (tonnes OC) of surficial soils across 438 Great British saltmarshes. The OC density for the surficial soils (top 10 cm) is mapped across 451.65 km2 of saltmarshes, identified from current...

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...
Physical and geochemical properties of saltmarsh soils from wide diameter gouge cores in Essex, UK, collected in 2019
Physical and geochemical measurements of saltmarsh soils produced from 19 wide diameter gouge cores (60 mm in diameter) collected from eight sites encompassing saltmarshes with different origins (natural, historic breach, managed realignment) in 2019. The work was...

Chemical composition of anaerobic digestate and biomass ash blends as a result of storage
The dataset contains the chemical compositional changes occurred in anaerobic digestate, with and without biomass ash, simulating storage conditions during 128 days. Additionally, Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4) was added to these materials to test the effectivity on preventing...
Impacts of Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) on seed dispersal services in Jonkershoek, Cape Floristic Region South Africa
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...
Effects of different intensities of artificial light at night on multi-trophic population dynamics
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...
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...
Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry data of topographic changes from seven erosion plots on Iron Tongue Hill, Tameside, UK, 2018-2019
This dataset contains details of digital elevation models (DEM) and orthomosaic photographs (orthophotos) of seven 5 x 5 m erosion plots on Iron Tongue Hill, Tameside, Manchester. Plots were surveyed on ten occasions in 2018/2019 following a severe moorland wildfire...
