The research carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, was under a contract with NASA (80NM0018D0004). Government sponsorship is acknowledged. The research conducted at the University of Zurich was supported by the University Research Priority Program in Global...
The EcoSIS database is a one-stop portal to add, discover and use spectral data. "Spectral information is an indicator for biodiversity," Natasha Stavros, an engineer working with Townsend at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said. Spectral data can help us understand genetic diversity, Stavros...
NASA's Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) (NNH06ZDA001N) and Land Cover and Land Use Change (NNH07ZDA001N-LCLUC) programs provided forest cover data. We thank the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families. The Brazilian agency CAPE...
This conceptualization of the SP EBVs is uniquely facilitated by the environmental data revolution, specifically the availability of worldwide high-resolution remote sensing products. A number of sources, such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Landsat, NASA’s moderate reso...
nasapower - Aims to make it quick and easy to automate downloading NASA-POWER global meteorology, surface solar energy and climatology data in your R session as a tidy data frame tibble object for analysis and use in modeling or other purposes. pvcompare - A model for comparing the benefits...
and these tiny shrimp-like animals have a huge effect on ocean food webs. Many other animals, including many commercially important fishes, feed on krill, and the krill themselves eat vast amounts of plankton. The MBON database could allow scientists to identify the ocean conditions that influen...
A total of 256 million 75–100 bp long-reads were mapped to the small subunit (SSU) rRNA Silva database (including Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya) with a similarity cutoff of 97% identity. SSU rRNA reads were then assembled using Cufflinks [28], and clustered at 97% identity using uclust...
database (e.g López2011; Schüller and Jirkov2013; Blake2015,2016). We have made our data and vouchers available for future study and revision in the light of these changes, which have no impact on the biodiversity comparisons in the results of this study. The identification of specimens ...
We analysed a terrestrial assemblage database of unprecedented geographic and taxonomic coverage to quantify local biodiversity responses to land use and related changes. Here we show that in the worst-affected habitats, these pressures reduce within-sample species richness by an average of 76.5%, ...
The PREDICTS database holds site-level data on land use (primary vegetation, secondary vegetation, plantation forest, cropland, pasture or urban) and land-use intensity (minimal, light and intense), classified using information in the original sources or provided by their authors95. Although planta...
