This metadataset describes the effects of biodiversity on response variables of experimental studies published between 1974-2004. Dataset Location: Ecological Archives Methods : Data was extracted from 137 published articles, containing 761 measurments, for analysis within this study to determine the effect of biodiversity loss on variables relevant to agriculture, forestry,...MORE
This dataset summarized the effect of experimentally reducing species richess has on abundance or biomass of the focal group, abundance or biomass of the focal group's primary resource, and/or the depletion of resources by that trophic group. Dataset Location: Ecological Archives Methods: Experimental studies were chosen for their focus and...MORE

Via NEON's overview page: Data will be collected from 106 sites (60 terrestrial, 36 aquatic and 10 aquatic experimental) across the U.S. (including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico) using instrument measurements and field sampling. NEON will combine site-based data with remotely sensed data and existing continental-scale data sets (e.g. satellite...MORE
This website and database hosts records of fossil pollen, charcoal, and mammal assemblages, as well as plant macrofossils, largely from North America, but also globally, throughout the Pleiocene-Quaternary (and Anthropocene). Also included are chronological controls that allow the use of the records through time from the last 5 million years...MORE

Data downloaded from IOBIS has unique lat-longs which are presumably reef-level data. In theory, there are 5 transects within...MORE
The Continuous Plankton Recorder is a device developed by Sir Alister Hardy in 1931. Since then, his effort has been standardized and continued by the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science . Research and merchant ships are equiped with a planton recording device that is towed near-surface for up...MORE
The Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program was implemented in 1998 with the aim of collecting and analyzing the biological, chemical, and physical data to detect and monitor seasonal and interannual variability in eastern Canadian waters. The AZMP aims to increase the Canada Department of Fisheries and Oceans capacity to understand, describe,...MORE
