- Water Temperature | NASA Earthdata
Water temperature is an essential parameter in evaluating the composition and biological activity in a water body The temperature of lakes, rivers, and oceans affects the health of plants and animals that live in and around these bodies of water Increased water heat can contribute to the decline and migration of fish populations, the bleaching of coral, and an increase in toxic algae blooms
- Millennium Ecosystem Assessment: MA Biodiversity - Earthdata
Description The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment: MA Biodiversity provides data and information on amphibians, disease agents (extent and distribution of infectious and parasitic diseases), drylands (cattle, sheep and goats, and pasture), islands (fishing pressure, sewage pollution index and tourism), loss of natural land cover (biomes and realms), polar population, species distribution models
