This dataset contains field data on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, microbial community composition, crop yield and growth and soil biochemical properties. The field trial consisted of three different treatments of control, conventional microplastic addition and biodegradable...
Stable isotope and U/Th speleothem measurements from Vietnam, 200,000–334 years BP
The data includes carbon and oxygen stable isotopes together with top and bottom U-Th ages of stalagmites collected in Northwest, Central and Southern Vietnam. The purpose of this work was to identify suitable specimens that can be used for palaeoclimatic reconstructions....
Phenotypic measurements of Howea belmoreana and Howea forsteriana from a common garden experiment on Lord Howe Island
The dataset describes the effect of soil type, soil sterilisation and drought treatment on survival rate and growth of Howea belmoreana and Howea forsteriana, grown from seed in an experiment on Lord Howe Island for 30 months. The data describe the number of surviving...
High temporal resolution meteorology and soil physics observations from INCOMPASS land surface stations in India, 2016 to 2018
The dataset contains time series observations of meteorological and soil physics variables logged at one minute time resolution at three Land Surface Stations in India. The three INCOMPASS Land Surface Stations were located at: (1) agricultural land in Southern Karnataka...

Land Cover Map 2023 (land parcels, GB)
This is a vector data set representing the land surface of Great Britain, classified into 21 UKCEH land cover classes, based upon Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. This vector Land Parcel dataset is the result of intersecting the 10m raster classified pixel datasets...
Freshwater macroinvertebrate community data, stream discharge, and hyporheic fine sediment mass in experimental channels recovering over a four-month period from a prior drought in 2022
The 3Rs experimental study investigated how trajectories of recovery following a prolonged drought were affected by the prior sediment composition and fine sediment loading. On each of six sampling occasions between December 2022 and March 2023 (Days 1, 8, 13, 29,...
Soil data from the South Fork McKenzie River in Oregon, USA before and after a wildfire event, 2020 to 2022
Soil data comprises sample depth, moisture content, % sand/silt/clay, texture, and various nitrate/nitrite/carbon metrics. These data were collected from the South Fork McKenzie River, Oregon, USA in July 2020, February 2021 and June 2021 following the Holiday Farm...
Code and synthetic data for analysis of relation between species sizes and local abundances trends
This resource contains the R code and core results of a study seeking to identify whether there are global patterns in whether larger or smaller bodied species are showing different population trends within communities. This used the global BioTIME database (including...
Code and UK observation-based historical climate input data for the Rainfall and Weather GENerator (RWGEN) stochastic model
This dataset contains the stochastic Rainfall and Weather GENerator (RWGEN) model and observational historical climate inputs for UK applications. The model simulates one or more stochastic realisations of any length for rainfall (mm), temperature (°C) and potential...
Passive sampler ammonia measurements indoors and outdoors at a rural dwelling in South Lanarkshire, 2022
This dataset consists of ammonia (NH3) measurements at two sites in a rural location in South Lanarkshire. The sites are located in a dwelling, one site is inside and the other is outside in the garden area. The garden backs onto grassland which is part of a large dairy...
Perception of environmental and other risks - data from a 2018 social science questionnaire in the UK
This dataset contains the answers gathered from the 806 participants who successfully finished an on-line survey on risk perception of environment-associated risks. The survey was launched on the 15th of February 2018 and ran for five days. The survey contained best...
