Double-crested Cormorant (Nannopterum auritum) nesting colony and environmental data in Biscayne National Park, Florida, USA (2009-2024)
Double-crested Cormorant (DCCO) nesting data were collected from colonies in Biscayne National Park (BISC) by the South Florida/Caribbean Inventory and Monitoring Network as part of the Colonial Nesting Birds vital sign monitoring program. Nesting data collected from 2010 to 2023 are included in this dataset. Salinity, chlorophyll, and ammonia data were acquired from sites monitored in the Surface Water Quality Monitoring Program managed by the Miami-Dade County Division of Environmental Management’s Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER-DERM). Seagrass data were acquired from sites monitored by RER-DERM as a part of the Biscayne Bay Benthic Habitat Monitoring Program. Mangrove fish and epifauna data were acquired from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Integrated Biscayne Bay Ecological Assessment and Monitoring Project (IBBEAM). Environmental data (salinity, chlorophyll, ammonia, seagrass, mangrove fish, and epifauna) were manipulated in order to examine the relationship between DCCO nesting trends and the BISC ecosystem. This data package is completed. Code included is pertinent to the methods described in "Assessment of ecosystem health in Biscayne National Park, Florida according to Double-crested Cormorant (Nannopterum auritum) nesting trends" by Taylor et al. 2025, currently submitted to and under review by Ecological Indicators.
Environmental, Taxonomic, and Stable Isotope Data from Aquatic Insects sampled from Beaver-Engineered Headwater Streams (Adirondack Park, NY; 2024).
This data package contains environmental and biological data from a field study examining aquatic insect assemblage composition and basal resource use in beaver-engineered headwater streams in Adirondack Park, New York. Data was collected from six streams across two watersheds; the Oswegatchie River Watershed and Upper Hudson River Watershed. Three streams were sampled within the Oswegatchie River Watershed; East Creek, Sucker Brook, and Chair Rock Creek located near the Cranberry Lake Biological Station in St. Lawrence County. Three streams were sampled from the Upper Hudson River Watershed; Big Sucker Brook, Little Sucker Brook, and Panther Brook located near SUNY ESF’s Newcomb Campus in Essex County. Site conditions were characterized using densiometer measurements of canopy cover, visual assessments of substrate composition, and river discharge measurements collected with an OTT MF Pro flow meter. Aquatic insect assemblages were sampled using multihabitat active sampling and Hester–Dendy and leaf-bag passive samplers, with specimens identified to genus and assigned to functional feeding groups. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes were analyzed for a subset of insect taxa and three basal resource pools; coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM), fine particulate organic matter (FPOM), and periphytic algae. The Bayesian mixing model MixSIAR was used to estimate the proportional contribution of these primary sources to aquatic insect biomass. All data was collected between June and August 2024.
Phytoplankton, benthic algae, and associated environmental data from Lake Okeechobee, Florida, USA, August 2023 - November 2023
This data package contains phytoplankton, periphytometer, and environmental data collected from the South Florida Water Management District’s (SFWMD) Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) monitoring sites and the Indian Prairie marsh during the 2023 rainy season. We collected phytoplankton from a surface water grab and benthic algae from artificial substrates (periphytometers) that were placed outside for three weeks. We also collected associated nutrient measurements and environmental data. Collections occurred twice from August to November 2023. Data were collected to better understand how phytoplankton and benthic algae differed in their responses to TN:TP ratios in a hypereutrophic lake known to have spatial differences in limiting nutrients. Data collection for this data package is complete.
Sap-flux and associated environmental data from ash tree monitoring at four urban parks in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, from May to November of 2023.
We measured the sap flux density of eighteen ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) of varying health and canopy conditions across four urban parks in the City of St. Paul, MN, USA in summer 2023 with a low-cost, compact data logger system we designed in-house. Although many ash trees in the city have either been killed or removed to control the spread of Emerald Ash Borer, chemical insecticide treatments are available for trees that are in early stages infestation. The trees selected for the research have all been receiving insecticide treatment for a few years, but their health and canopy conditions vary. We also have collocated temperature, soil moisture, and precipitation measurements at the same site for summer 2023.
FuTRES (Functional Trait Resource for Environmental Studies) data store archival copy - 5/21/2022
<p> </p> <p>The Functional Trait Resource for Environmental Studies (FuTRES) project is a collaborative project among four universities (University of Oregon, University of Arizona, University of Florida, and Howard University). The key deliverables of FuTRES are a workflow for assembling functional trait data measured at the specimen level, a database to serve that data, and scientific publications demonstrating the utility of the assembled data. This dataset represents the FuTRES datastore as of 5/21/2022, providing an archive that is timestamped and providing all data that is not currently embargoed by providers.

Environmental and biological data associated with captive-reared Delta Smelt Study, Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, CA, January-March 2019
The endangered Delta Smelt Hypomesus transpacificus is an osmerid fish endemic to the upper San Francisco Estuary. A captive breeding program for the species led by the Fish Culture and Conservation Laboratory (FCCL), University of California, Davis, began in 1996 to create a refuge population. In order to better understand how captive Delta Smelt would fare in conditions outside of the hatchery, we placed captive-reared fish in enclosures in the Sacramento San-Joaquin Delta, and evaluated their ability to survive, feed, and maintain condition. Fish were acclimated in the hatchery at FCCL, tagged, swabbed, weighed, measured, and transferred to enclosures in the field. There were three types of enclosures (n=2 for each type), varying in mesh size and wrap condition. In January 2019, 384 adult Delta Smelt (243 days post hatch) were transferred to enclosures in Rio Vista. In February 2019, 360 adult Delta Smelt (278 days post hatch) were transferred to enclosures in the Deepwater Shipping Channel. For each deployment, fish remained in enclosures for approximately one month, then were retrieved from enclosures, euthanized, identified, weighed and measured. A subset were also analyzed for diet contents. During the one-month long deployments, cages were checked for biofouling, damage, and dead fish, and water quality measurements and zooplankton samples were collected.
Ecosystem metabolism and associated environmental data for a forested, meadow and reforested reach of White Clay Creek, Chester Co., Pennsylvania; 1971-1975 and 1997-2010
Ecosystem metabolism data for a 3rd-order Piedmont stream were collected during two periods: P1- April 1971 – Dec 1975, and P2- May 1997 – January 2010. Measures were made in a meadow and a forested reach during each period and in a reforested (formerly meadow) reach during the latter years of P2. During P1, measures were made by transferring streambed substrata to chambers in water jackets located on the streambank and measuring dissolved oxygen changes over diel periods. During P2, open system measures of dissolved O2 change were made for several days in warm and cold seasons, with reaeration determined from a propane injection experiment. Metabolism estimates were determined from diel curves of dissolved O2 change. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and chlorophyll were measured concurrent with many measurements in P1 and all measures during P2, and temperature with all measures. Water chemistry parameters (NH4-N, NO3-N, PO4-P, SiO2, Cl, SO4, total alkalinity, pH) associated with each run are included in the data set, as are days since storm of various thresholds. Field procedures, analytical methods and data analyses are detailed in Bott, T.L. & J. D. Newbold, 2023.

Data in support of 'Mechanistic insights into plant community responses to environmental variables: genome size, cellular nutrient investments, and metabolic trade-offs.'
Data was collected to examine whether and how the plant genome size (GS) influences traits (stomata size, stomata density, cellular and tissue level carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents) and metabolic-tradeoffs (of photosynthesis, evapotranspiration, water-use, efficiency) of plants in treatment plots in which nothing, N, P, or NP had been annually added. Data was collected from ~500 plants from seven grassland sites that are all part of the Nutrient Network (https://nutnet.org), a globally distributed experiment in which plots have different nutrient amendment treatments that are administered identically to allow cross-site comparisons of the effects of nutrients on biodiversity patterning. The sites chosen varied along a North-South latitude, longitude, mean annual precipitation (MAP) and mean annual temperature (MAT) gradient.
Environmental Data for Soil, Leaf, and Root samples Boston Street Trees and Massachusetts Rural and Urban Forests in Summer 2021
This dataset provides detailed environmental and tree-level data and metadata for over 850 samples collected from 91 trees across an urban-to-rural gradient in Massachusetts. The dataset captures key variables characterizing urban environmental gradients, including soil moisture, pH, temperature, and nitrogen availability. Tree-level attributes include species identification, diameter at breast height (DBH), and growth rate based on previous tree census data. Geographic coordinates and site-specific context (urban forest, rural forest, street tree, forest edge, forest interior) are included to enable spatial analyses. The microbial sequence data associated with this environmental metadata can be found in the NCBI SRA under BioProject accession number PRJNA1297772.
Data for: Techno-economic and environmental assessment of converting mixed prairie to renewable natural gas with co-product hydroxycinnamic acid, Iowa, USA, 2022-2023.
This dataset compiles model outputs, parameter sets, and documentation supporting a techno‑economic analysis (TEA) and life‑cycle assessment (LCA) of co‑digesting beef cattle manure with pretreated mixed prairie biomass to produce renewable natural gas (RNG), with hydroxycinnamic acids (HCA) and digestate‑derived biochar co‑products. It accompanies the study by Katherine Wild, Elmin Rahic, Lisa A Schulte Moore, and Mark Mba Wright "Techno-economic and environmental assessment of converting mixed prairie to renewable natural gas with co-product hydroxycinnamic acid," in Biofuels, Bioproducts, & Biorefining, 2024 (https://doi.org/10.1002/bbb.2710). The integrated simulation and assessment framework quantifies process performance, economics, and greenhouse‑gas intensity across five scenarios representing combinations of alkaline‑ethanol pretreatment for HCA extraction, liquid recirculation fractions, and biochar addition. This data collection includes: stream‑level mass flow/composition tables for each scenario; RNG, biochar, and HCA annual production summaries; literature‑based methane/biogas yield benchmarks; equipment‑level capital costs; TEA assumptions; emission‑factor inventories and displacement credits; and full sensitivity/uncertainty matrices for MFSP and GWP.
Summary of tundra pond zooplankton and associated environmental data from the Barrow, AK IBP tundra ponds (1970s & 2010s)
A comparison of historic (1970s) and more recent (2010s) zooplankton and environmental data from Arctic tundra ponds near Utqiaġvik, AK has given us valuable insight into changes in zooplankton communities that have occurred in recent times.
Nitrogen Cycling and Environmental Data in Riparian Soils across Biomes
This dataset compiles soil nitrogen cycle data from riparian soils, sourced from peer-reviewed studies published between 1980 and 2023. The selection process was based on three inclusion criteria: (1) studies measuring in-situ net nitrification rates in the top soil layer using the incubating bag technique, (2) studies reporting net nitrification rates from laboratory incubations without altering the initial nitrogen pool, and (3) studies providing field data on soil nitrogen concentrations, moisture, and temperature. The final dataset (D1) includes data from 174 riparian sites across four continents, with the majority of sites (86%) located in North America and Europe, while only 13 were located in the Southern hemisphere. For each site, we gathered data on net nitrification rates and key soil physicochemical properties, including bulk density, depth, moisture (expressed as water-filled pore space, WFPS), temperature, and ammonium and nitrate concentrations. The dataset includes 734 observations from 99 field sites and 120 observations from 45 laboratory-incubated sites. All publications from which data were used are list in dataset 2 (D2). This comprehensive dataset offers valuable insights into nitrogen dynamics in riparian soils, supporting further research into soil nitrogen cycling across diverse biomes and environmental conditions.
Environmental data from FCE LTER Caribbean Karstic Region (CKR) study in Yucatan, Belize and Jamaica during Years 2006, 2007 and 2008
Several studies have shown that within the Florida Coastal Everglades, periphyton mat properties, (incuding biomass, nutrient and organic content, and community composition) vary predictably in response to water quality.The Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE) wetland system is very similar with respect to climate, geology, hydrology and vegetation, to wetlands found in Jamaica, the Yucatan region of Mexico and parts of Belize. This study was therefore conducted to ascertain (i) the level of similarity between the periphyton diatom communities from karstic wetland sites in Belize, Mexico, Jamaica and comparable sites within the FCE, (ii) the relationship between periphyton biomass, TP levels and diatom community composition at these sites, and (iii) the feasibility of employing diatoms as indicators of water quality at these sites, using models relating diatom community composition to water quality from comparable sites within the FCE. Multiple wetland sites in Jamaica, the Yucatan region of Mexico and parts of Belize were visited between 2006 and 2008, during wet and dry seasons. At each site physico-chemical data were collected along with periphyton samples. The periphyton samples were processed in accordance with standard methods to obtain biomass, organic content and TP measures, and to identify and enumerate diatom and soft algae species. Various aspects of the diatom communities were then compared to previously compiled data on diatom communities from various parts of the FCE. SIMI analysis was used to determine the level of similarity between the systems and Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling was used to identify relationships between diatom communities and water quality.
Periphyton and Associated Environmental Data Relative from Samples Collected from the Greater Everglades, Florida, USA from September 2005 to November 2014
This data package contains peripihyton and environmental data collected annually during the wet season between 2005 and 2014 from sites distributed throughout the greater Everglades ecosystem. This project is part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Program's Monitoring and Assessment Plan intended to document baseline variability in periphyton attributes for assessing the effectiveness of restoration projects. A total of 200 primary sampling units (PSU) of 800 m x 800 m are nested in 32 landscape units and each year, random coordinates are 'drawn' within each PSU and one sampleable draw is visited in each. Sampled periphyton is processed for diatoms, slides are prepared, and 500 frustules are enumerated and identified to the lowest possible taxonomic resolution per slide. Taxon abundances are then relativized to the total count. These data accompany environmental, periphyton biomass, and soft algal abundance datasets.
MCR LTER: Coral Reef: Spatial portfolios in coral metapopulations are shaped by spatiotemporal asynchrony in environmental conditions; Data for Srednick et al., 2026 Ecology Letters
Using wavelet analyses of a 19-year coral community timeseries from Moorea, French Polynesia, we quantified timescale-specific population synchrony in four common coral genera and evaluated the predictors of spatial portfolio effects. We detected synchrony within genera associated with synchrony in degree heating days, diurnal temperature range (DTR), and macroalgal cover at different timescales. Synchrony in DTR and macroalgal cover was associated with lower synchrony of Pocillopora and Porites populations, respectively. Population (for three of four genera) and environmental synchrony were stronger within than among habitats across timescales, underscoring the role of habitat-specific conditions in driving spatial synchrony and spatial portfolios. These results describe how the spatial and temporal scales of heterogeneity in environmental and ecological conditions determine synchrony in coral population dynamics and support a spatial portfolio effect, which may buffer coral metapopulations from island-scale collapse. Data in support of analyses for: Spatial portfolios in coral metapopulations are shaped by spatiotemporal asynchrony in environmental conditions. Published in Ecology Letters 2026.
2007 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Lakes Assessment dataset plus derived data and additional spatially explicit ancillary environmental data.
Lake water quality is known to be affected by local and regional drivers, including lake physical characteristics, hydrology, landscape position, land cover, land use, geology, and climate. Here, we demonstrate the utility of hypothesis testing within the landscape limnology conceptual framework using a random forest algorithm on large, national-scale, spatially explicit dataset, the United States Environmental Protection Agency 2007 National Lakes Assessment. For 1026 lakes, we tested the relative importance of water quality drivers across spatial scales, the importance of hydrologic connectivity in mediating water quality drivers, and how the importance of both spatial scale and connectivity differ across response variables for five important in-lake water quality metrics (total phosphorus, total nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon, turbidity, and conductivity).

In this work, we systematically reviewed studies which assessed future environmental impacts of metal supply chains. Our review yielded 40 publications covering 15 metals: copper, iron, aluminium, nickel, zinc, lead, cobalt, lithium, gold, manganese, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium, terbium, and titanium. We evaluated their results regarding future impact trends, and their methods, i.e., modelling approaches, scenario variables, and data sources of scenario variables. We identified 15 scenario variables. The most common variables are background electricity mix, ore grade, recycling shares, demand, and energy efficiency. We identified 229 unique data sources for the reviewed scenario variables.</p> <h4><strong>Related publication</strong></h4> <p>More details on the data and its interpretation as well as the scientific context are provided in the publication itself:</p> <p><a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2024.107572" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harpprecht, C., Miranda Xicotencatl, B., van Nielen, S., van der Meide, M., Li, C. , Li, Z., Tukker, A., Steubing, B.
