This dataset relates to two closely related experiments conducted using similar methodologies: one - Discrimination Ability experiment - from December 2021 to May 2022 and another - Multiple Models experiment - from October 2022 to April 2023. Data describe the responses...

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...

This dataset consists of fish species, fish length and fish weight from samples taken from small and medium catchments across Wales. Samples were collected in the summers and autumns of 2012 and 2013 using electrofishing. All the collected individuals were counted and...

The data consists of carbon, micro and macro nutrient concentrations in fine roots (<2mm diameter) in old growth forests in Central Amazon. Fine roots younger than three months were sampled using the ingrowth core technique in a large-scale nutrient fertilisation experiment....

This dataset contains data that are meant to be used in conjunction with the “Digital Elevation Model of an experimental river generated in a flume under variable discharge conditions” dataset. There are three data files. The Sed_fluxes.csv file contains mass balance...

This dataset contains time series observations of land surface-atmosphere exchanges of net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange (NEE), sensible heat (H) and latent heat (LE), and momentum (τ) measured at the Wicken Sedge Fen, a conservation managed lowland fen (site code:...

This dataset contains information on bio-available phosphorus and microbial biomass phosphorus from two UK grassland soils and how this is affected by elevated CO2 (eCO2). The soils are from naturally phosphorus limited grasslands in the Peak District National Park,...

This dataset contains information on the performance of soil eubacteria inoculated into soil microcosms and exposed to a series of experimental droughts (or control conditions) in an experimental evolution study. Isolates of Bacillus and Pseudomonas included in the...

This dataset comprises bird abundance data collected using point count methods in Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes in the summer of 2014. The purpose of the study was to characterise the variation in breeding bird fauna across a range of urban forms. The data were...

Three files describe behavioural trials involving jumping spiders, crab spiders and praying mantises respectively. They include details about the individual predators, the stimuli used and the behavioural responses from the predators.

Data comprise site location, soil chemistry information (pH, soil moisture, Loss on Ignition (LOI)), an estimate of ground burn extent and soil biological activity (derived from application of bait lamina sticks) at 23 sites in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ), Ukraine...

This dataset contains experimental survival rate and transfer potential measurements of two known human pathogens, bacteria Salmonella Typhimurium and Vibrio cholerae, on plastic mulch and ready-to-eat crop plants. Colony forming units (CFUs) were used to measure persistence...

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 that began in 1945 for some...

These arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi diversity data were collected in 2000 as part of an investigation in an unfertilized limestone grassland soil supporting different synthesized vascular plant assemblages that had developed for three years. The experimental treatments...

The data are activity concentrations of Tc-99 and Se-75 in 61 species of flowering plants after exposure under similar controlled conditions. Species selection was focussed on a hierarchical, taxonomic spread across the herbaceous flora of the British Isles. Individual...

This dataset contains water chemistry and organic matter composition variables. Water chemistry variables include pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved organic carbon, nutrients, anions, cations and metal concentrations. Organic matter composition variables...

This dataset includes sediment trap, sediment core and loss-on-ignition to total organic carbon measurements from a PhD research project at Rostherne Mere in Cheshire. These data were collected to show the relationship between the changing nutrient loads and subsequent...

Hydrological and meteorological data were collected for three plots (each 50 x 50 m in size) near Andasibe village in the Corridor Ankeniheny-Zahamena (CAZ) in eastern Madagascar. The plots differ in terms of land cover: semi-mature forest, reforested tree fallow (i.e.,...

This dataset contains information about various aspects of the alarm communication network of African savannah herbivores. Data were collected in April 2015 and between September 2015 and October 2016 in the Masai Mara National Reserve, in southern Kenya (1°30’S, 35°10’E)....
