2004 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA5 Analysis - Particle size and organic matter (North Sea)

This report is a contribution to the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA5) conducted by the Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change). This report describes...

Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS) total organic carbon in mudflat and saltmarsh habitats

The dataset details organic carbon content of sediments across 6 intertidal sites in the winter and summer of 2013. The data provide a quantitative measure of the organic carbon present within...

Leaf litter decomposition in Welsh upland rivers in response to organic matter addition (2012 - 2013)

These data are leaf litter decomposition rate in eight Welsh upland rivers with contrasting land-use, moorland and exotic conifer, in response to riparian deciduous leaf addition. Eight sampling...

Water chemistry and organic matter composition in UK and Faroe Island surface waters, 2018-2020

The dataset shows the results of water chemistry and organic matter composition analysis, from water samples collected from surface waters in the UK and Faroe Islands. The water samples were...

Spatial mapping of surficial soil organic carbon storage and stocks across Great British saltmarshes

The geospatial dataset maps organic carbon (OC) storage (kg OC m-2) and OC stocks (tonnes OC) of surficial soils across 438 Great British saltmarshes. The OC density for the surficial soils (top 10...

EPSRC Project: ORGMEMT - Organic Mixed Matrix Membrane Technologies for Post-Combustion CO2 Capture

The UK Government has set targets for the reduction of CO2 emissions of 80 % by 2050. Post-combustion capture of CO2 from power plants is key if we are to achieve these targets. Post-combustion CO2...

Species point records from 1990 NRA Exe Estuary littoral survey

Four 0.01m2 cores were taken at each intertidal site. The survey was carried out in September 1990 by the NRA South West Region. Samples were also taken for particle size analysis and organic...

Habitat point records from 1990 NRA Exe Estuary littoral survey

Four 0.01m2 cores were taken at each intertidal site. The survey was carried out in September 1990 by the NRA South West Region. Samples were also taken for particle size analysis and organic...

Health risks of bathing waters: Links between gastrointestinal illness and marine bathing

The 2006/7/EC European Bathing Directive stipulates water quality classification standards for recreational bathing waters based on specified limits for Faecal Indicator Organisms (FIOs). Presence...

Local authority collected waste (quarterly estimates)

Estimates of quarterly waste arisings and management for England units : thousand tonnes notes: table 1: total is not the sum of the parts because sent for recycling differs from what is...

Species point records from 1984-85 Harris lower Torridge estuary littoral survey

In common with all estuaries, that of the Torridge has a wide range of habitat types, ranging from fine, clean sand to pure mud with high organic content. Such diversity of habitats might be...

Habitat point records from 1984-85 Harris lower Torridge estuary littoral survey

Agriculture in the United Kingdom

This annual publication provides an overview of agriculture in the UK, fulfilling the requirement that Ministers publish an annual report on matters relating to price support for agricultural...

Influence of riparian shade on stream thermal regime (New Forest 2010)

River temperature is a key parameter of water quality. Most bio-chemical processes and physical characteristics of a water body are functions of temperature. Aquatic organisms including fish are...

Habitat point records from 1990 NRA Kingsbridge Estuary survey

Four 0.01m2 cores were taken at each intertidal site and four 0.05m2 Van Veen Grabs at each subtidal site. The survey was carried out in September 1990 by the NRA South West Region. Samples were...

Habitat point records from 1990 NRA Fal Estuary survey

Four 0.01m2 cores were taken at each intertidal site and four 0.05m2 Van Veen Grabs at each subtidal site. The survey was carried out in September 1990 by the NRA South West Region. Samples were...

Radiocarbon dating of soil organic matter fractions along grassland-to-forest conversion chronosequences across Scotland

The dataset contains the radiocarbon age of soil organic matter fractions collected along grassland-to-forest conversion chronosequences across Scotland. Soil samples were collected in summer 2018....

Dissolved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the River Wyre (northwest England)

Data on concentrations of dissolved PAHs and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in 20 water samples collected from the River Wyre at five sites between Marshaw Wyre, one of the two headwaters of the...
