AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Multivariate life history phenotype of 56 Daphnia magna clones reared in four different environments (factorial cross of temperature x food)

[This dataset is embargoed until September 1, 2023]. This dataset contains information about the multivariate plastic life-history responses and thermal tolerance capability of 56 Daphnia magna clones exposed to 4 different environments. The experiment was conducted in a laboratory at the University of Liverpool in 2017. The work was part of a larger mesocosm study that aimed to tease apart how plasticity and genetic diversity influence the evolutionary potential of natural populations.
Life history data were measured in common garden experiments. For each clone of the same genotype across all environments, we measured length at maturity, length at second clutch, age at maturity, age at second clutch, juvenile growth rate ((length at maturity - length as neonate)/ age at maturity), adult growth rate ((length at second clutch - length at maturity)/(age at second clutch-age at maturity)), average fecundity (across clutches 1 and 2), and average offspring size (across clutches 1 and 2.
The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (Grant NE/K007394/1).

LIDAR terrain and surfaces models Wales

      This dataset shows the extent of data in each individual tile that went into the merging process to create the LIDAR Composite DSM & DTM. Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is an airborne mapping technique, which uses a laser to measure the distance between the aircraft and the ground. Up to 100,000 measurements per second are made of the ground, allowing highly detailed terrain models to be generated at spatial resolutions of between 25cm and 2 metres. The Natural Resources Wales composite dataset contains digital elevation data derived from surveys carried out over several years and covers approximately 70% of Wales. We are making available 25cm, 50cm, 1m and 2m datasets, supplied as terrain models (a representation of the ground level) or surface models (a representation of o
bject heights such as vehicles, buildings and vegetation). In addition to the height information, georeferenced, coloured, shaded relief images at the same resolution as the input LiDAR data grids are available.

Spatial Flood Defences with Standardised Attributes

      This dataset shows flood defences that have been built to protect against flooding from rivers and the sea. The defences shown provide different levels of flood protection and this is recognised in the risk classification shown in the Flood Risk Assessment Wales (FRAW) map. Flood defences that are not yet shown, and the areas that benefit from them, will be gradually added.
Flood defences do not remove the risk of flooding however and can be overtopped or fail in extreme weather conditions.

Catchment Abstraction Management Strategy (CAMS) Boundaries

      Catchment Abstraction Management Strategies (CAMS) assess the amount of water available in each river catchment. The CAMS Boundaries are an external reference dataset giving an indication of where technical assessments of water abstraction have been undertaken. CAMS helps to look at the balance between society, the economy and the environment. The technical assessment helps identify where water may be available for future use but also where water resource demands may be impacting the water balance. The CAMS boundaries should be used on a national (Wales) scale to show the geographical distribution of CAMS and are not suitable for detailed technical assessments.
