Description: Spatial and seasonal distributions of selected species of seabirds in the German Bight. Data source: TOPAS-Windobs Datenbank + TOPAS-FTZobs Datenbank. These are data from Environmental Impact Assessments (EIS) and monitoring studies under the permit procedures of BSH in the North Sea EEZ and research data of the FTZ. Data collection: Ship-based and aircraft-based transect counts. The basis of all ship-based seabird counts is the standardized method described by Tasker et al. (1984) and Garthe et al. (2002). Following this method, seabirds within a transect strip of known length and width were recorded. Thus the number of birds per area (density) can be calculated. Seabird counts from aircrafts are described in Diederichs et al. (2002). It is also a transect based method. Time periods: Ship: June 2000 to Aug. 2013, aircraft: March 2002 to June 2013. Data analysis: Based on all survey years; for each species (or species group) and each species-specific season the mean density [individuals/km²] per raster cell is calculated as "the sum of the counted seabirds divided by the sum of the survey effort inside the raster cell". Species specific correction factors were used for the calculation of the density (Garthe et al. 2007, 2009; Markones and Garthe 2012). For divers separate correction factors were calculated for each single data collection team and then combined into a weighted average. Product description: Vector raster with "10 km x 10 km" raster cells (EPSG 3035). WMS: classification by mean density (5 ranges), visualization by graduated symbols.

Data of the Nautical Hydrographic Informationsystem. These data contain the floating and fixed navigational marks, information about the depths, further information about navigation in the sea and land areas of the german part of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

The site Montagne Maripa is composed of one 3km-transects (20m wide). 960 trees with dbh>=20cm have been recorded by Office national des forêts (ONF). No fauna inventories. No under-storey plants inventory. No soils have been sampled on this site. No laboratory analysis available for soils.

The site Montagne Tortue is composed of one 3km-transects (20m wide). 940 trees with dbh>=20cm have been recorded by Office national des forêts (ONF). No fauna inventories. No under-storey plants inventory. Soils have been described using 7 samples (1.20m depth max.). No laboratory analysis available for soils.

Guyadiv is a network of permanent forest plots installed in French Guiana. The site of Massif des Emerillons is composed of 3 1ha-plots. A complete inventory has been made in 2007. 533, 482 and 455 trees with dbh>=10cm have been registrated respectively on each plot. 530 tree species have been identified in the first plot, 482 in the second plot and 453 in the third plot. 99.4%, 100% and 99.6% of the trees registrated have been identified to the species level respectively on the 3 plots. We only have the point coordinates and not the precise demarcation of the sample plots. In order to calculate the bounding box for these plots, we have expanded the point location 500 meters in each direction.

The site Mont Inery is composed of two 3km-transects (20m wide). 1969 trees with dbh>=20cm have been recorded by Office national des forêts (ONF). No fauna inventories. No under-storey plants inventory. Soils have been described using 5 samples (1.20m depth max.). No laboratory analysis available for soils.

The data include water pollutions indentified in the German territorial sea and the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Covered are Location, type, perpetrator of water pollution amongst others.

Marine Planning Zones are defined in the Town and Country Planning (Marine Fish Farming) (Scotland) Order 2007. The Zones designate marine areas for which planning authorities discharge their functions with regard to fish farming developments.
