This data set is a combination of trapping data, tracking data, vegetation/habitat data and data on the gut microbiome composition of wild rodents caught in 4 ha study site in Holly Hill in Wytham Woods, Oxford, UK, from November 2018 to November 2019. Three species...
Bird breeding records and data from an experimental manipulation of local population density in Wytham Woods, UK, 2020-2021
The data were collected as part of a long-term population monitoring project on the breeding biology and behaviour of birds, and as part of a project on the ecology of behavioural contagion in natural systems. The dataset consists of bird ringing records, bird breeding...
Turbulent fluxes of sensible heat and momentum at an ancient deciduous broadleaved forest in southern England
The dataset contains time series observations of turbulent surface-atmosphere exchanges of sensible heat (H) and momentum (τ) measured at an area of ancient broadleaved deciduous forest in Oxfordshire, UK (Wytham Woods). Turbulent flux densities were monitored from...
Flux (CO2, water and energy) and meteorological data in UK
This data collection contains a variety of flux (CO2, water and energy) and meteorological time series observations in the UK, including for example time series observations of turbulent surface-atmosphere exchanges of sensible heat (H) and momentum (τ) measured at...
Soil water release curves and hydraulic conductivity measurements at four long-term grassland-to-woodland land use contrasts across England
This dataset contains soil water release curves and un-saturated hydraulic conductivity measurements from four long-term grassland-to-woodland land use contrasts across England between 2018 and 2021. Each land use contrast was assigned one grassland and one woodland...
