The SAFE Project is one of the largest ecological experiments in the world. We are studying how biodiversity and ecosystem function change as forests are modified by human activities. As well as studying the change, we also explore whether preserving sections of forest within modified landscapes and around waterways can protect biodiversity and ecosystem function, and how much protection is needed to be effective.
The project is a multinational collaboration that has generated a wide range of research data. We archive and document this data using the Zenodo file repository and maintain spatial, taxonomic and other indices to support data discovery and reuse. This package provides a range of tools to make it easier to find and analyse our research data outputs.
