The purpose of the Ozone Injury app is to record ozone injury to plants

The purpose of the Monks Wood Hedgerow Experiment is to study the effects of different management regimes on experimental hedgerows planted in 1961. Hedgerows provide important semi-natural habitat and resources for wildlife in agricultural landscapes. Hedgerow management...

The purpose of the Heathland Climate Change Experiment at Clocaenog is to determine the impacts of drought or warming on upland ecosystems and soils, which can be an important source or sink for greenhouse gases. This experiment platform has run for more than 20 years...

The purpose of the PREAR Future Rotations Explorer is to explore the predicted yield of major arable crops across Europe in a future subject to long term climate change. It allows farmers and decision-makers to consider crop rotations and future climate change. It...

The purpose of the River Thames Initiative is to study how England's largest river functions under growing pressures from rapid population growth, intensive agriculture, climate change and water resource challenges. River quality in the Thames basin, including its...

The purpose of the Aber experimental exposure facility is to determine the impact of ozone on vegetation such as crops, grassland, heath and small trees. Ground-level ozone is not only an air pollutant, it is also a greenhouse gas, contributing to global warming. ...

EVAST simulates the potential effects of government policies - specifically Defra's Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme - on ecosystem service stocks, flows and values. It allows the ELM scheme to be developed, explored and stress-tested before implementation,...

The Ecological Status Viewer is a biodiversity index developed by the Biological Records Centre from national plant and animal observations. The purpose of this tool is to provide information which reflects the quality of 10 x 10km cells ('hectads') for biodiversity....

The purpose of the UK Lakes Portal is to provide the national hub for data and information on the UK's lakes and ponds, providing data, statistics and research outputs for over 40,000 waterbodies. It brings together data from a wide variety of sources and provides a...

The purpose of the Soil wetness app is to show the “wetness” of the ground across Britain as estimated by a hydrological model.

GWAVA predicts the impacts of humans on future water availability, water quality and damage to river ecosystems. It operates at monthly or daily timescale and from large basins to global geographic scales. GWAVA has been applied to global, continental and basin scales...

The purpose of the Sand Dune Ecohydrology Network is to monitor the effects of climate change in dune wetlands across Britain. Dune wetlands are highly biodiverse, but are particularly sensitive to climate change through subtle changes in the balance between rainfall...

The purpose of the Biological Records Centre (BRC) is to provide national leadership and coordination for collecting wildlife species records across the UK. Wildlife and biodiversity surveillance is largely carried out by public volunteers, often through specialist...

The UKCEH Soil Bank is UKCEH’s facility for storing and analysing soil samples from nationally important surveys and experiments. It contains soils from across England, Scotland and Wales, as well as samples from key global studies, with the majority of samples linked...

The purpose of the UKCEH Analytical Chemistry Lab Service is to offer state-of-the-art analysis of environmental samples. The labs combine routine analyses with innovation and maintain high quality standards. The labs also provide continuity of analyses to UKCEH's...

The purpose of the Biological Record Centre is to work in partnership with more than 100 recording schemes and societies, providing a national capability to support and encourage biological recording for a wide range of plant and animal groups, improving how data is...

The purpose of the UK Water Resources Portal is to bring together rainfall, river flow, soil moisture and groundwater data in one place, and showcase the use of live river flow data from the Environment Agency and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency as well...

The Air Quality Equipment Testing facility at Edinburgh Bush Station has three purposes: (1) to conduct atmospheric research; (2) to conduct atmospheric monitoring as part of wider networks of monitoring stations: Defra Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN) and SEPA...

The purpose of the Historic Drought Inventory is to provide a tool for exploring the information gathered on historical droughts (impacts, responses and so on) as part of the Historic Droughts project.

The purpose of the Atmospheric Analysis Facility for Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) is to analyse air samples to measure concentrations and fluxes of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O, including stable isotopes), usually to quantify GHG emission from soils, ecosystems and...
