This dataset comprises weekly water quality monitoring data of seven sites along the River Thames, UK, and sixteen of its major tributaries from Feburary 2009 to December 2023. Monitored determinands include major nutrient fractions, anions, cations, metals, pH, alkalinity,…

Survey data on knowledge exchange experience of both Chinese and British scientists working on critical zone and more broadly on geoscience. Data are drawn from questionnaire surveys to explore the knowledge management methods used in their environmental research. Data…

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 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 by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) at Derwent Water in Cumbria, England.…

This dataset consists of plant species presence and abundance in different sizes of plots recorded from 100 1km squares across Great Britain in 2025, as part of a rolling soil and vegetation monitoring program of 500 1km squares, beginning in 2019 and repeated every…

The data consists of total arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonisation in fine roots 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. Total…

This dataset entails two components: 1) an agricultural soil survey on fields covered with plastic mulch film to determine drivers of microplastic enrichment and identify microplastic types in China, Egypt, India, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam; 2) an inter-laboratory comparison…

This dataset contains measurements from a 12-month field experiment in the UK assessing the degradation, microplastic generation, and environmental impacts of seven plastic mulch films exposed above and below ground, alongside associated soil, environmental, and material…

This dataset contains time series observations of surface-atmosphere exchanges of net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange (NEE), sensible heat (H) and latent heat (LE), and momentum (τ) measured at a field of winter wheat in Lincolnshire, UK during the 2012 growing season.…

Prevalence of quinolone qnrS resistance gene in the aquatic environment from the Avon river catchment area receiving treated wastewater from 5 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), serving 1.5 million people and accounting for 75% of inhabitants living in the catchment…

This dataset measures the abundance of ant species at baited traps set across twelve trees in four experimental plots in lowland, tropical rainforest. Baited traps were set at 5 m vertical intervals from the ground to as high as possible in the canopy, the stratum of…

This dataset describes an experimental test of potential over yielding effects on fruit set and average fruit size for tomato plants grown in the presence of three pollinator combinations: (1) the bumblebee Bombus terrestris (2) Lasioglossum spp. and (3) and additive…

This data gives acoustic index values for recordings collected in 60 broadleaved woodland restoration sites in Central Scotland (n=30) and the English Midlands (n=30), as well as 18 grassland sites in southern England. Additionally, there are recordings from 6 wildcard…

This dataset consists of mid-infrared (MIR) spectra measured on 427 archived soil samples from arable and grassland habitats across Great Britain in 2007. Data on diffuse reflectance spectra were obtained from subsamples of finely ground soil, recorded as absorbance…

The dataset contains abundance trends for 432 species of moths (mostly macro-moths) estimated using the data collected by Rothamsted Insect Survey (RIS) from their light-trap network between the years 1968 and 2016. The trends were calculated using a Generalized Abundance…

This data resource provides plot-level plant occurrence data for the first six years (2015-2020) of the National Plant Monitoring Scheme (NPMS, covering the UK, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man). Data consist of individual observations of plants, and other habitat…

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 Esthwaite Tarn in Cumbria, England. The data available to download comprise surface…

This dataset reports metrics of plant growth, including height, total biomass and the biomass of component plant parts, and percentage root colonisation by mycorrhizas, for tree seedlings of eight tropical and seven subtropical growing in pots of soil that had been…

This dataset contains information on the soil particle size distribution, electrical conductivity, total carbon, and inorganic carbon in the form of CaCO3 for the topsoil (0-15cm) from the Countryside Survey monitoring programme spanning the years 2018 to 2023. This…

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…
