Data on timing of breeding, breeding success and diet of the European shag, sampled from the Isle of May population. The data were collected between 1985 and 2015 by visually checking nests and collecting regurgitated diet samples. These data are part of the Isle of…

These databases contain collated trait data for 925 species of macro- and micro-moths recorded on the Landscape-scale Species monitoring of Agri-Environment Schemes (LandSpAES) project, on farmland in six regions of England (The Fens, High Weald, South Suffolk / North…

This dataset contains first egg dates for great tits (Parus major) and blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) from Monks Wood, Brampton Wood and Wennington Wood in Cambridgeshire, England, over a 23 year period. The dataset runs from the breeding season in 1993 to the end…

Frog data from the UK Environmental Change Network (ECN) terrestrial sites. Variables measured include phenology (i.e. the dates when frogs start congregating, spawning, when hatching occurs and when the frogs leave), number of spawn masses, total surface area covered…

This dataset contains year-by-year tree inter-annual growth measurements (dendroecology, ring width) covering 1900-2019. European Beech tree cores were sampled in late 2019 at 12 sites in Bulgaria, Albania, Kosovo, and Spain. Measurements took place to fill the climatic…

This dataset is the first phenological trait data for Moringa oleifera and M. stenopetala trees from provenances collected in Kenya and planted at Ramogi. Trees were measured and scored for survival, height, diameter at breast height, fruiting and damage by three field…

These data comprise 12 different measurements, including single traits (e.g. needle length) as well as repeated, yearly phenology measurements over time (autumn 2022 to summer 2025) from a common garden trial of juniper trees planted in Cardrona, the Scottish Borders.…

This is a transdisciplinary dataset from ten smallholder farming villages in Patarasi Rural Municipality, Jumla District, Nepal collected during 2021 and 2022. The human component of the dataset includes fortnightly 24-hour dietary recall surveys and monthly anthropometry…

This dataset contains data on temperature and tritrophic phenology collected across 44 sites in Scotland for the period 2014 – 2021. Each site was visited every two days through the spring. The phenology of first budburst and leaf out of approx. 700 marked trees was…

This dataset contains data pertaining to the phenotypes (height and budburst) and genotypes (via SNP array) for a subset of trees from a long term multi-site Scots pine experimental trial.

The dataset provides visible light images from a camera at the Birmingham Institute for Forest Research Free Air CO2 Enrichment (BIFoR-FACE) experimental site from July 2021 to September 2023. The data are visible light images, predominately of tree canopies (leaves,…

This dataset provides data on the timing of butterfly flight periods for each UK butterfly species across all monitored sites in the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS). Annual data from over 2,500 sites are presented relating to the timing (first appearance, last…

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…

Phenotypes (growth, phenology and form) for Scots pine trees in a long-term common garden trial grown in three nurseries in Scotland and surveyed from 2007 to 2011.

This dataset contains flammability metrics for fuel types that are commonly involved in wildfires in the UK. Flammability data were obtained by cone calorimetry, and include measures of ignitibility (time to ignition), peak heat release rate, total heat release, and…

Data comprise tree trait data collected during September and October 2016 (the peak dry season), in the Caxiuanã National Forest Reserve, eastern Amazon, Brazil. 17 traits (including plot type, tree species name, diameter at breast height, tree light score, carboxylation…

This dataset contains information on the abundance of Mauritia flexuosa sampled in palm swamps managed by the communities of Veinte de Enero and Parinari in Loreto, Peru. Fieldwork was undertaken in August and September 2022 and in August 2023. The data includes abundance…

This dataset includes the dates and/or duration of all the environmental and phenological events that could be derived from a series of photographs taken by a fixed-point repeat camera system at the UK Environmental Change Network (ECN) site in the Cairngorms National…

Here, we present a comprehensive traits database for the butterflies and macro-moths of Great Britain and Ireland. The database covers 968 species in 21 families. Ecological traits fall into four main categories: life cycle ecology and phenology, host plant specificity…

We provide data on how the body temperature of field crickets Gryllus campestris rises and falls in relation to exposure to the sun and environmental factors include ground and air temperature, diffuse and shortwave radiation, and wind speed. Crickets were in a meadow…
