Carbon and nutrient data for rainfall fractions in the Peruvian Amazon
Aquatic carbon (dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and particulate organic carbon and the carbon isotopic composition of DIC) and nutrients (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, total soluble phosphorus and silica) in rainfall fractions...
Zinc tolerance measurements for Silene uniflora populations in the UK and Ireland, 2021
The dataset contains: (i) estimates of zinc tolerance for 50 populations of Silene uniflora in the UK and Ireland generated between 03/2021 and 09/2021. The data were collected using cuttings from wild collected specimens. Root growth of cuttings in zinc rich media...
Greenhouse gas and nutrient data measured across estuaries in the UK, 2017-2018
The dataset contains dissolved greenhouse and nutrient data collected from seven UK estuaries: the Clyde, Clywd, Conwy, Dart, Forth, Tamar and Tay, for the LOCATE project. Sampling was conducted from July 2017 to April 2018 on a quarterly basis, and was coordinated...
Numerical model simulations of channel flow for the South Saskatchewan River, Canada
Datasets consists of the results of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) flow simulations for a section of the South Saskatchewan River, Canada. The aim of these CFD simulations was to investigate the effect of dunes on the depth-averaged and near-bed flow fields. Modelling...
Anthropogenic litter data collected from the Portoviejo River, Ecuador, 2021-2022
This data resource contains information on anthropogenic litter from the Portoviejo River, in Ecuador, collected between years 2021 and 2022. This work is part of the Natural Environment Research Council project “Reducing the impacts of plastic waste in the Eastern...
Fluorimeter response of ruthenium based sensor to mercury ions in water and acetonitrile
These dataset files show the calibration of a sensor for mercury (II) ions using a Fluorimeter and either HgCl2 or HgNO3. A range of different sample conditions are tested, including sensor concentrations and relative proportions of water and a methanol co-solvent...
Parasitoid abundance, aphid population mass and glucosinolate concentration from experimental ozone and diesel exhaust fumigation of Brassica napus
These datasets contain aphid/parasitoid abundances and glucosinolate concentrations associated with Brassica napus plants within eight field-based diesel exhaust and ozone fumigation rings located at the University of Reading’s Sonning farm.

Expert-based stakeholder mapping and engagement strategies for six invasive non-native species case studies in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, 2021
Data package containing information and the results of our expert-based stakeholder mapping exercise for six invasive non-native species case studies in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, 2021. These six case studies included invasive grasses (Urochloa spp.) in Brazil, glossy...
Pollinator effectiveness in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) in relation to behavioural and morphological characteristics
The number of pollen grains delivered to stigmas in a single visit by flower visitors (from insect orders Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera) to oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) in southern England. Behavioural and morphological data were also recorded for a subset...
Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS) the erosion rate of sediment cores from salt marsh sites at Morecambe Bay and Essex
The dataset comprises the erosion rate (percent mass loss per hour) observed in sediment cores (16 centimetre (cm) diameter, 30cm height) subjected to flume tank flow for three 'waterfall' flows (Low, medium, high). Sampling was conducted at six salt marsh sites at...
Ant colour data from an experiment in Malaysian Borneo, 2015-2018
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...

Behavioural experiments in the laboratory with stickleback fish - Fish learning data
Data are of speed and accuracy of decision making in stickleback fish of different personalities. A laboratory population of three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were repeatedly tested in a T-maze. The work was carried out between March 2012 and February...
Loch Leven monitoring data (water quality, chemistry, crustacean zooplankton), 2020
This dataset contains weather conditions, water quality, water chemistry and crustacean zooplankton counts sampled at Loch Leven throughout the year 2020. Loch Leven is a lowland lake in Scotland, United Kingdom. The data were collected as part of a long-term monitoring...
Digital Elevation Model of an experimental river generated in a flume under variable discharge conditions
This dataset contains the elevation data of a 10m long, 20cm wide experimental river. This river was generated in an experimental flume (Total Environment Simulator) of the University of Hull. This river was formed spontaneously by imposing water and sediment flux at...
Taxonomy for macroinvertebrates in Welsh upland rivers (2012-2013)
