The data set was generated at the University of Birmingham Free Air CO2 Enrichment (BIFoR-FACE) facility where the responses of nutrient transformation processes, litter decomposition, mycorrhizal biomass and turnover and enzyme functions, root exudation rates, root...
Smart sensor data from tracking cobble movement in rolling and sliding experiments
These data show the results of experiments consisting of releasing a cobble down a tilting table composed of two panels. The first board was 150 cm wide and 150 cm long and can change the inclination, whereas the other one was 150 cm wide, and 200 cm long and always...
Quantitative and qualitative data relating to the inhibition of a phosphatase reaction by microcystin on a paper-based analytical device (PAD)
This dataset contains information about the development of a paper analytical device for the detection of the microcystin toxin. Water samples were collected weekly from Rostherne Mere and Tatton Park Lake, Cheshire between 20/07/2022 and 12/10/2022. Samples were analysed...
Labile, recalcitrant, and refractory organic matter in soil samples from UK saltmarshes collected between 2018 and 2021
The dataset details the quantification of three different pools of organic matter (labile, recalcitrant, and refractory) within 1211 down core soil samples collect from across UK saltmarsh sites between 2018 - 2021. Additionally, the dataset presents a measure of organic...
Scots pine-associated biodiversity in the UK (Scots pine Ecol)
This is a database of all known birds, bryophytes, fungi, invertebrates, lichens and mammals that use Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) in the UK. Scots pine is the UK’s only native conifer that is used commercially and is the most common tree in the UK’s native Caledonian...
Tree sapling sampling in a secondary subtropical forest invaded by Ligustrum lucidum subject to experimental management, Tucumán, Argentina, 2021-2023
The following dataset contains information on saplings of woody plant species in invaded subtropical mountain forests (Yungas) over three years. The forests were located in the Horco Molle Experimental Reserve and Parque Sierra de San Javier, Tucumán, Argentina. The...
Eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide, energy and water fluxes at a cropland, Yorkshire, UK, 2021-2023
The dataset includes 30-minute observations of land-atmosphere exchange of net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange and sensible and latent heat measured over two years in a cropland in Yorkshire, UK. Fluxes were measured using the eddy covariance method.
Invertebrate behavioural responses to 3D-printed insect replicas, featuring combinations of traits from wasps and flies, in laboratory trials
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.
Chemical parameters of soils in subtropical forest plots dominated by native trees and invaded by Ligustrum lucidum, Horco Molle, Tucuman, Argentina, 2023
The data resource consists of soil chemical measurements for two aims: 1) to characterise soils of plots where we conducted management experiences to restore secondary forests affected by invasions, and 2) to assess the impacts of tree invasions on the chemical parameters...
Larval and juvenile fish abundance, habitat, water quality, flow and climate data from English rivers, 1984-2017
This dataset contains monthly/annual time series of species-specific abundances and covariates for 137 targeted larval/juvenile fish surveys at sites in a range of English lowland rivers. Larval/juvenile fish data come from two different sources: The Environment Agency’s...
