Summary:

"At GigaScience we are always promoting and finding new ways to foster open data, open science and reproducibility. Our broad scope covers the entire spectrum of life and biomedical sciences – also encompassing ecology and the numerous research communities within it. Macrosystems ecology is an emerging discipline which involves data-intensive methods of viewing ecosystems integrating the finest to the broadest scale. The ecology community has considerable site-based data for individual or groups of ecosystems, these data are disparate with different formats, and remain widely inaccessible. This also applies to data at a broader scale, such as geospatial data of land and water that originate from different sources at different temporal and spatial resolutions. Broader-scale, open science ecology methods will be needed to tackle global conservation problems. This week, in a new paper published by Pat Soranno and colleagues in our new 'Data Intensive Ecology' series present a major step forward for reproducible research and public data-sharing in ecology ..."
