United Kingdom Butterfly Monitoring Scheme: site location data 2011

This dataset provides the details of all sites which have been monitored as part of the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS). Data includes the location within the UK, the length and width of the line transect on each site, and how long the transect has been monitored. The UKBMS started in 1976 with fewer than 50 sites. The number of sites monitored each year has increased to over a thousand since 2008. There is turnover in sites monitored each year and details of the first and last year in which each site was surveyed are given. The majority of site data is provided by recorders at the time a transect is created. The majority of these recorders are volunteers. The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) and Butterfly Conservation (BC) collate the data and the UKBMS is funded by a consortium of organisations led by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC).

Land Cover Map 1990 (1km percentage target class, GB) v2

This dataset consists of the 1km raster, percentage target class version of the Land Cover Map 1990 (LCM1990) for Great Britain. The 1km percentage product provides the percentage cover for each of 21 land cover classes for 1km x 1km pixels. This product contains one band per target habitat class (producing a 21 band image). The 21 target classes are based on the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) Broad Habitats, which encompass the entire range of UK habitats. This dataset is derived from the vector version of the Land Cover Map, which contains individual parcels of land cover and is the highest available spatial resolution. LCM1990 is a land cover map of the UK which was produced at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology by classifying satellite images (mainly from 1989 and 1990) into 21 Broad Habitat-based classes. It is the first in a series of land cover maps for the UK, which also includes maps for 2000, 2007, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019. LCM1990 consists of a range of raster and vector products and users should familiarise themselves with the full range (see related records, the UKCEH web site and the LCM1990 Dataset documentation) to select the product most suited to their needs. This work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council award number NE/R016429/1 as part of the UK-SCAPE programme delivering National Capability.

Gridded rainfall depth-duration-frequency (DDF) estimates for the state of Kerala, India, 1979-2020

This data represents twenty-four modelled rainfall depth estimates by GridASCII files across the state of Kerala, India, for four durations (1, 6, 24 and 192 hours) and six return periods (2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 years). The estimates were produced using a similar procedure to the Flood Estimation Handbook statistical method for flood frequency estimation: separately for each duration, the estimated median annual maximum (AMAX) rainfall was used as a standardizing “index” value and the estimated L-moments of the AMAX series were used to fit a generalized logistic distribution “growth curve”. The data are in units of mm at a spatial resolution of 0.12 degrees. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/4a08e6f1-e508-4bb6-b571-b3145dd1588e

Insect, plant and tree data from woodland restoration sites in Central Scotland, 2021 and English Midlands, 2022

In 2021 and 2022 a total of 60 broadleaved woodland restoration sites from Central Scotland (2021) and English Midlands (2022) and a further six wildcard sites made up of ancient woodlands (2 in Scotland and 2 in England) and rewilding sites (2 in England) were surveyed to calculate metrics of ecological complexity from biodiversity and habitat structure data. In each woodland, we monitored ground flora (surveyed using quadrats), adult trees (within circular plots), tree seedlings and saplings (transects), volume of deadwood (measured within transects), canopy cover estimations, invertebrates on understorey vegetation (surveyed by tray beating) and (mostly) flying invertebrates (surveyed using Malaise traps). Information on site characteristics were collected, including age of the restoration site, former land-use and features of the surrounding landscape.

Coral bleaching and nutrient responses to elevated temperature and nutrient exposure, Laamu Atoll, Maldives, 2022-2024

[This dataset is embargoed until January 4, 2027]. The data consist of coral bleaching data; coral elemental and isotopic data (of coral host tissue and algal symbionts); coral metric data (size and depth of coral colonies used in experiment); water nutrient data collected next to corals over the experimental period; diffuser weights of fertiliser bags (to help calculate diffusion rates of fertiliser loss) and temperature data (recorded over the experimental windows in-situ and using satellite data). This dataset contains in-situ experimental information relating two separate nutrient enrichment experiments that were conducted over January - June 2022 and January 2023 - July 2024. The experiments were designed to understand the in-situ bleaching and nutrients responses of corals (Pocillopora spp.) to the interactive effect of elevated temperatures and elevated nutrient concentrations relative to controls. Slow-release agricultural fertilisers were used to elevate local concentrations. In 2022, two types of fertilisers were used (High N = 18-9-10 NPK or High P = 13-13-13 NPK). In 2023-24, the same fertiliser was used (24-7-14 NPK) but at two quantities, medium-N (50-75 g of fertiliser) and high-N (150-200 g of fertiliser) to better understand thresholds. Both experiments were conducted on lagoonal patch reefs in Laamu atoll, Maldives. The work has been undertaken has been funded by the GCRF-UKRI South Asian Nitrogen Hub and enabled through the University of Edinburgh and Maldivian non-governmental organisation, Maldives Resilient Reefs.

High resolution burn severity data (derived from satellite imagery) for the South Fork McKenzie River in Oregon, USA, before and after a wildfire event, 2020 and 2021

The data comprise Sentinel-2 derived burn severity rasters covering restored and unrestored reaches of the South Fork McKenzie river, Oregon USA. The data were collected in order to quantify differences in burn severity in restored and unrestored river reaches following the Holiday Farm wildfire in 2020. Raw satellite imagery acquired in June 2020 and June 2021 was processed to calculate Normalised Burn Ratio (NBR), giving pre- and post-fire burn severity information. Data consist of 10 m .TIF raster imagery where a digital number gives a measure of burn severity; high NBR values indicate healthy vegetation, whereas lower values indicate burnt areas or bare ground. The study was conducted by the University of Nottingham, in partnership with the US Forest Service, Portland State University, Washington State University and Colorado State University. Funding for the work was received from the Natural Environment Research Council. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/8162887a-5481-440f-a7f2-427eee793efd

United Kingdom Butterfly Monitoring Scheme: species trends 2015 version 2

This dataset provides linear trends, over varying time periods, for the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (UKBMS) Collated Indices of individual butterfly species across the UK. The main statistical values derived from a linear regression (slope, standard error, P-value) are presented for the entire time series for each species (1976 to 2015), for the last 20 years, and for the last decade. In addition a trend class, based on slope direction and its significance, and a percentage change for that time period are provided to describe the statistical trends. These trend data are provided for 59 UK butterfly species. Trends across different time series allow us to determine the long and short-term trends for individual species. This enables us to focus conservation and research and also to assess species responses to conservation already in place. The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) and Butterfly Conservation (BC) are responsible for the calculation and interpretation of this trend datasets. The collection of the underlying UKBMS data is reliant on a large volunteer community. The UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme is funded by a consortium of organisations led by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC). This version supersedes the original version due to an error in the precision of the reported figures. This dataset is updated annually and a more recent version of the UKBMS species trends (2016) is now available.

Climate hydrology and ecology research support system potential evapotranspiration dataset for Great Britain (1961-2012) [CHESS-PE]

[THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN]. 1km resolution gridded potential evapotranspiration over Great Britain for the years 1961-2012. This dataset contains time series of two potential evapotranspiration variables. The first is potential evapotranspiration (PET) (mm/day) calculated using the Penman-Monteith equation [1] for FAO-defined well-watered grass [2]. The second is potential evapotranspiration with interception correction (PETI) (mm/day), which adds a correction for interception by a well-watered grass on days in which there is rainfall. Both PET and PETI are calculated using the Climate Hydrology and Ecology research Support System meteorology dataset (CHESS-met) meteorological variables [3]. [1] Monteith, J.
