Natural radionuclide concentrations in soil, water, sediment and biota in England and Wales
Data comprise estimates of activity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides (40K, 238U and 232Th series radionuclides) in environmental media (soil and stream sediments and waters) and non-human biota (focusing on the ICRP Reference Animals and Plants)....
Plant indicator species for JNCC Common Standards habitat monitoring, UK
Dataset contains lists of plant indicator species extracted from the JNCC Common Standards habitat monitoring guidance for the UK. The Common Standards Monitoring (CSM) approach was developed in order to standardise the monitoring of designated nature conservation sites....
Nectar consumption, metabolic rate and activity datasets for bumblebees exposed to ecologically relevant radiation dose rates
This dataset contains information on the volume of nectar consumed, metabolic rate and activity of bumblebees that were exposed to environmentally relevant dose rates of ionising radiation at the University of Stirling. Data is for two connected experiments collected...
Countryside Survey 1984 estimates of linear feature lengths in Great Britain
This dataset consists of stock (length) data for linear features across Great Britain in 1984. The data are national estimates generated by analysing the sample data from 384 1km squares surveyed for the Countryside Survey long term monitoring project, then scaling...
Depth and velocity measurements in the South Saskatchewan River, Canada (2015-2017)
Data were collected in 2015, 2016 and 2017 to provide information on the distribution of flow depth and depth-averaged flow velocity at cross-sections on the South Saskatchewan River, Canada. Data were obtained using a Sontek M9 acoustic Doppler current profiler (aDcp)...
