Insect and plant data from calcareous grassland restoration sites in southern England, 2021

The dataset contains monitoring data for plants (surveyed using quadrats), sward insects (surveyed using suction samplers), insect pollinators (surveyed using transects) and sward structure...

UKCCSRC Call 1 project paper: Operational flexibility options in power plants 1 with integrated post-combustion capture

Flexibility in power plants with amine based carbon dioxide (CO2) capture is identified in the literature as a way of improving power plant revenues. Despite the prior art, the value of flexibility...

Allotments

Allotments (or Community Gardens) are plots of land made available for individual, non-commercial gardening or growing food plants

Web map service for Model estimates of expected diversity of positive plant habitat condition indicators

This web map shows positive plant habitat condition indicators across Great Britain (GB). This data provides a metric of plant diversity weighted by the species that you would expect and desire to...

Understory herbaceous plant cover in secondary woodlands on the Isle of Wight, 2021

A species by quadrat matrix showing the percentage cover of understory herbaceous plants in ancient and recent woodlands varying in age and isolation. Percentage cover was calculated for each...

Plant biodiversity data and environmental and spatial data from Jebel Ichkeul, a limestone mountain in northern Tunisia (1983)

Records for herbaceous and woody plants at 78 nested quadrats on a limestone mountain (Jebel Ichkeul) in Le Parc National de L’Ichkeul are presented. Data for plants represent percent cover...

Urban Waste Water Treatment Plants percentage compliance on discharges into freshwaters, estuaries and coastal waters

Urban Waste Water Treatment Plants percentage compliance on discharges into freshwaters, estuaries and coastal waters: 2000 - 2010 for England and Wales. Urban Waste Water Treatment (Article 16) :...

Plant and soil responses to simulated summer drought in 2013 on Colt Park grassland restoration experiment

Data comprise measurements of plant biomass and community composition, soil microbial community composition, greenhouse gas emissions and soil carbon and nitrogen pools from a drought experiment...

The germination rates of seeds from Eschscholzia californica plants located within habitats comprising habitats with different floral cover

This dataset details the germination rates of seeds from Eschscholzia californica plants introduced to habitats comprising different floral cover. Data was collected in June 2015 at the Hillesden...

Habitat samples from the National Plant Monitoring Scheme, 2015-2022

This data resource provides plot-level habitat data for the first eight years (2015-2022) of the National Plant Monitoring Scheme (covering the UK, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man). Data...

Nectar sugar values of common British plant species [AgriLand]

This dataset consists of nectar sugar values of common British plant species. The data were collected during field surveys taking place from February to October in 2011 and 2012. The majority of...

Various water quality parameters covering a pre and post-planting regime (Halladale study 1995-2010)

Our study was driven by concerns that afforesting the headwaters of the Upper Halladale River in North Scotland would affect water quality and the local salmon fishery. The main issue was the...
