Yield Constraint Score (YCS) for the effect of five crop stresses on global production of four staple food crops
A Yield Constraint Score (YCS; scale of 1-5) was developed for the effect of five key crop stresses (ozone, pests and diseases, soil nutrients, heat stress and aridity) on the production of the crops maize (Zea mays), rice (Oryza sativa), soybean (Glycine max) and wheat...

Movement metrics of singing and silent Hawaiian field crickets (Teleogryllus oceanicus) in a semi-natural arena
This dataset contains movement metrics of field crickets tracked within an arena modelled on a natural environment. Eight crickets were tracked per trial (13 trials in total), and each trial lasted 3 hours. Of the eight crickets, four were male and four were female....
E. coli counts of fresh cattle faeces from the North Wyke Farm Platform
The data consists of faecal microbiology and moisture content taken from two separate cohorts of 30 cattle. The cattle were from the North Wyke Farm Platform, a UK national capability, located at Rothamsted Research, North Wyke in Devon. Faecal samples were collected...
Responses of drought-adapted plants and soil microbial communities to drought conditions in plant-soil microcosms
This dataset contains information on the performance of soil microbial communities (from field soil washes), soil synthetic microbial populations (from isolates within a single bacterial genus) and plants each originating from either drought and control long-term climate...
Earthworm and botanical data from the Sweethope mesocosm experimental site, Sourhope, Scotland, 2001 [NERC Soil Biodiversity Programme]
This dataset comprises botanical composition and earthworm species and abundance data, sampled from a mesocosm experiment (named Sweethope) in October 2001. The mesocosm site replicated the layout of the main experimental plots at the NERC Soil Biodiversity site at...
Woody biomass maps of Mabalane, Gurue, and Maruppa, Mozambique
The data consist of woody biomass maps of three study areas - Mabalane, Gurue, and Maruppa in Mozambique. Each area map comprises three Geotiff layers stacked in the order band 1= 2007, band 2 = 2010, band 3 = 2014. Each pixel is an aboveground woody biomass in tonnes...
Surface temperature, surface oxygen, water clarity, water chemistry and phytoplankton chlorophyll a data from Windermere North Basin, 2014 to 2018
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 the North Basin of Windermere in Cumbria, England. Monitoring began in 1945 for...
Seasonal agricultural calendars presenting activities per month for farmers in Malawi, April-May 2019
The dataset provides transcripts from focus groups in Salima, Mangochi and Zomba (Malawi). The focus groups' discussions focused on important monthly agricultural activities in association with the climate services and extreme weather events. This outlined how climatic...
UK maps representing baseline uncertainty in CO2 and CH4 fluxes
This dataset provides UK maps of baseline prior uncertainty (UQ) in fluxes of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) carbon dioxide, CO2 (2014-15) and methane, CH4 (2015). Spatial maps of these GHG emissions are produced annually in the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI)...
Land cover and sediment geochemistry in the Rio Santa catchment, Cordillera Blanca, Peru, 2019-2020
These data encompass land cover data and sediment geochemistry from the Rio Santa catchment of the Peruvian Andes. Sediment samples were collected within the SIGMA: Peru project between 2019-2020. Geochemistry data include major and minor elements in sediment samples...
Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) measurements over UK farmlands, April-September 2021
Repeat electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements were conducted over four sites to capture the changing resistivity of the soil throughout the agricultural growing season, with measurements taken in Spring, Summer, and Autumn to detect the change between...
