  • Gridded data of water debt for year 2000. The water debt expresses the number of years required by the hydrological cycle to replenish the water source (soil moisture, surface water, ground water) that have been used to accomplish the annual production of nine major crops. The considered crops are: wheat, maize, rice, soybean, sugar cane, sugar beet, cotton, barley, sorghum.

  • [THIS NONGEOGRAPHICDATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN]. The resource includes data extracted from published laboratory studies investigating the impacts of microfibres (fibres < 5 mm in size) on various traits within aquatic organisms. Data were accessible on 19/06/2024 and represent studies from 2015 to 2024. The dataset includes measured responses in a range of aquatic organisms after microfibre exposure. Measures correspond to the following defined traits: 1. Development - healthy molting and growth of organs and structures. 2. Fecundity - number of offspring and quality of gametes. 3. Feeding - intake handling and egestion of resources. 4. Growth - change in organism weight, length or derived measures. 5. Hatching - number, emergence time and morphology of offspring. 6. Health - indices and measures of general organism wellbeing. 7. Survival - organisms alive at a particular time point. This dataset was created to collate microfibre study findings for meta-analyses and to identify gaps within the literature. This work was supported by NERC (NE/Y003985/1) as part of the Future Fibres Network project.

  • These maps show the Input to Yield Ratio (IYR) of wheat farming in England, calculated as the ratio of agrochemical inputs to agricultural reward as yield. We assess the IYR at a 1km resolution for wheat grown in England over the period the period 2010-2017, considering the different agrochemicals used and their differing forms of environmental impact. We provide four mapped products: IYR for Nitrogen fertilisers, IYR for Phosphorus fertilisers, IYR for pesticide risk to earthworms, and IYR for pesticide risk to honeybees. The IYR is calculated using scaled rather than absolute values, with the maximum value in each yield and inputs dataset set as 1, so that all inputs and rewards are expressed proportionally to each other. The research was funded under research programme NE/N018125/1 ASSIST and NE/W005050/1 AgZero+.
