NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre. https://doi.org/10.5285/65b23264-2991-4ce2-83e7-7729a3947d75" ; dcterms:description "The data describe a set of field surveys to assess conditions along public walking routes. A spectrum of urban forms was identified in the towns of Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes, in the UK. A sample of these were surveyed on foot to measure biodiversity and environmental conditions during the day. These were supplemented with landscape-scale remotely sensed data characterising the surrounding landscape." ; dcterms:provenance [ a dcterms:ProvenanceStatement ; rdfs:label "The data were collected between May and September 2014 in Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes, UK. A subset of 500m x 500m survey tiles (n = 109) were selected from across the three towns using a stratified sampling design. Transect routes of 700m were established in each survey tile. Butterfly visual surveys (species and abundance) were undertaken along the routes using the Pollard Walk. Trees species and abundance were recorded at eight 10-m radius survey points at 100-m intervals along the transect. Bird surveys (two 10-minute counts) were conducted at four publicly accessible points in each tile. Environmental data were collected using instruments mounted on aluminium backpack frames, carried by a field surveyor. A particulate matter counter (Dylos DC1700) recorded continuously along the transect. A separate backpack carried an Optimus Red Sound Level Meter and two ibuttons. At the eight survey points along the route, plus two additional points per route, these recorded LAeq and temperature, respectively. Measures of the surrounding environment (road density, distance from urban edge, impervious surface cover, percent industrial land use, foliage height diversity, median patch size, residential garden cover, Index of Multiple Deprivation) were calculated at the tile level from a variety of spatial data sources. Field data were manually input or uploaded as appropriate and were compiled and error checked. Quality assurance was managed by the senior researcher carrying out the processing of each dataset, overseen by the principal and co-investigators of the project. Data were compiled and exported as a csv file for deposit into the EIDC, along with shapefiles of associated spatial data." ] ; dcterms:spatial [ a dcterms:Location ; dcat:bbox "POLYGON((-1.064 51.648, -1.064 52.453, 0.306 52.453, 0.306 51.648, -1.064 51.648))"^^geo:wktLiteral ; ] ; dcterms:temporal [ a dcterms:PeriodOfTime ; dcat:startDate "2014-05-01"^^xsd:date ; dcat:endDate "2014-09-30"^^xsd:date ; ] ; dcat:contactPoint :65b23264-2991-4ce2-83e7-7729a3947d75_c0 ; dcterms:publisher ; dcterms:isPartOf ; dcterms:isReferencedBy ; dcterms:subject "Luton", "Bedford", "United Kingdom", "Bedfordshire", "Buckinghamshire ", "Milton Keyes", "F3UES", "BESS", "UrbanBess", "Particulate matter", "Transect", "Point count", "Pollard walk", "Walking route", "Public right of way", , , , , , , ; prov:wasGeneratedBy , , ; a dcat:Dataset; dcterms:type dcmitype:Dataset ; dcterms:available "2023-04-28"^^xsd:date ; dcat:landingPage , ; dcterms:license ; dcterms:accessRights ; dcat:distribution [ dcat:accessURL ; dcterms:license ; dcterms:accessRights ; dcterms:format [ a dcterms:IMT ; rdf:value "Comma-separated values (CSV)" ; rdfs:label "Comma-separated values (CSV)" ] , [ a dcterms:IMT ; rdf:value "Shapefile" ; rdfs:label "Shapefile" ] ; ]; dcterms:creator , , , , , :65b23264-2991-4ce2-83e7-7729a3947d75_a5, , , ; dcterms:language . :65b23264-2991-4ce2-83e7-7729a3947d75_c0 a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Norton, B." ; foaf:familyName "Norton" ; foaf:givenName "Briony" ; vcard:hasEmail "briony.a.norton@gmail.com" ; foaf:member [foaf:name "University of Sheffield"] ; . a foaf:Organization ; foaf:name "NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre" ; vcard:hasEmail "info@eidc.ac.uk" ; foaf:member ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Norton, B.A." ; foaf:familyName "Norton" ; foaf:givenName "B.A." ; vcard:hasEmail "briony.a.norton@gmail.com" ; foaf:member [foaf:name "University of Sheffield"] ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Mears, M." ; foaf:familyName "Mears" ; foaf:givenName "M." ; vcard:hasEmail "meghann.mears@googlemail.com" ; foaf:member [foaf:name "University of Sheffield"] ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Warren, P.H." ; foaf:familyName "Warren" ; foaf:givenName "P.H." ; vcard:hasEmail "p.warren@sheffield.ac.uk" ; foaf:member [foaf:name "University of Sheffield"] ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Siriwardena, G.M." ; foaf:familyName "Siriwardena" ; foaf:givenName "G.M." ; vcard:hasEmail "gavin.siriwardena@bto.org" ; foaf:member [foaf:name "British Trust for Ornithology (BTO)"] ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Plummer, K.E." ; foaf:familyName "Plummer" ; foaf:givenName "K.E." ; vcard:hasEmail "kate.plummer@bto.org" ; foaf:member [foaf:name "British Trust for Ornithology (BTO)"] ; . :65b23264-2991-4ce2-83e7-7729a3947d75_a5 a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Turner, T." ; foaf:familyName "Turner" ; foaf:givenName "T." ; vcard:hasEmail "tim_turner_64@yahoo.co.uk" ; foaf:member [foaf:name "University of Sheffield"] ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Hancock, S." ; foaf:familyName "Hancock" ; foaf:givenName "S." ; vcard:hasEmail "steven.hancock@ed.ac.uk" ; foaf:member [foaf:name "University of Exeter"] ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Grafius, D.R." ; foaf:familyName "Grafius" ; foaf:givenName "D.R." ; vcard:hasEmail "dgrafius@gmail.com" ; foaf:member [foaf:name "Cranfield University"] ; . a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Evans, K.L." ; foaf:familyName "Evans" ; foaf:givenName "K.L." ; vcard:hasEmail "karl.evans@sheffield.ac.uk" ; foaf:member [foaf:name "University of Sheffield"] ; . a ; dcterms:bibliographicCitation "Norton BA, Mears M, Warren PH, Siriwardena GM, Plummer KE, Turner T, Hancock S, Grafius DR, Evans KL (2023) Biodiversity and environmental stressors along urban walking routes.
