The UK Environmental Change Network datasets – integrated and co-located data for long-term environmental research (1993–2015)

摘要

Long-term datasets of integrated environmental variables,co-located together, are relatively rare. The UK Environmental ChangeNetwork (ECN) was launched in 1992 and provides the UK with its onlylong-term integrated environmental monitoring and research network for theassessment of the causes and consequences of environmental change.Measurements, covering a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological“driver” and “response” variables are made in close proximity at ECNterrestrial sites using protocols incorporating standard quality controlprocedures. This paper describes the datasets (there are 19 publishedECN datasets) for these co-located measurements, containing over 20years of data (1993–2015). The data and supporting documentation are freelyavailable from the NERC Environmental Information Data Centre under theterms of the Open Government Licence using the following DOIs.
