Mammal occurrence identified from metabarcoding of two leech species from Sabah, Malaysia
This dataset contains the results from a metabarcoding study of terrestrial leech blood meals to detect differences in the diets of two leech species, Haemadipsa picta and Haemadipsa sumatrana. Mammal taxa were identified using metabarcoding of 16s rRNA and comparisons...
Stand-scale multiproxy palaeoecological data from Cambusurich Wood, Scotland
This dataset contains information about multiple palaeoecological proxies – pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, spores, microcharcoal, plant macrofossils and macrocharcoal – generated from stand-scale (forest hollow-based) analyses of Cambusurich Wood Site of Special Scientific...
Benthic organic matter of Welsh upland rivers in response to organic matter addition (2013)
These data are benthic organic matter stocks of coarse and fine particulate organic matter in eight Welsh upland rivers with contrasting land-use, moorland and exotic conifer, in response to riparian deciduous leaf addition. Eight sampling reaches were chosen at two...
Water quality data for the River Frome catchment, Dorset, 1976-2022
This dataset is a compilation of water quality data for the River Frome catchment, Dorset, UK. The data have been sourced from the Environment Agency and from Wessex Water Ltd., the water utility company for the catchment area. The monitoring sites are specifically...
Drosophila activity, survival and pathogen shedding after oral infection with the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The resource contains experimental data collected at the Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Edinburgh between Jan-Oct 2023. Sixty (60) lines from the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) were exposed to an orally acquired infection of the bacterial...
Occurrence data at 10km resolution for terrestrial mammals in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, 1960-1992 and 2000-2016 v2
This dataset contains 10km summarised occurrence data for terrestrial mammals as mapped in the Atlas of Mammal of Great Britain and Northern Ireland published by the Mammal Society in 2020. For each species 10km grid squares were categorised based on whether the species...
Gridded estimates of Ellenberg N, R, F, and L indicators for Great Britain, 1990 and 2015-2019
This information product contains gridded estimates of Ellenberg vegetation indicator scores for four different indicators: fertility (N); pH/reactivity (R); light availability (L) and moisture (F) at 1km2 resolution. Both cover-weighted (cwt) and non-cover weighted...
Soil water measurements from Ethiopia’s Awassa region during the drought and subsequent floods of 2015-2016
Measurements were taken in three fertility zones within households in two districts of Halaba in the SNNPR, Ethiopia. Measurements were taken after the El Niño event of 2015/16, so reflect the resilience of different areas of the farm to drought. Measurements are provided...
Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS) wave monitoring over saltmarsh and mudflat habitats
The dataset details derived wave parameters from bottom-mounted pressure monitoring installations across five UK salt marshes. Two of the sites were in Morecambe Bay, North West England and three of the sites were in Essex, South East England, each of these sites consisted...
Stakeholder surveys to local farmers and officials in Chinese villages to understand knowledge management dynamics
Data comprise results of social surveys carried out in China during 2016 – 2018 to the local stakeholders (farmers and village to county level officials) to understand their knowledge learning dynamics and preference. Surveys were conducted in the rural villages in...
