Motion-activated camera trap images of wildlife from the Red Forest, Chornobyl, Ukraine, 2016-2017

Data comprise a catalogue of motion activated digital trap camera images obtained from cameras located in the Red Forest, Chornobyl (Ukraine) over a period of a year (September 2016 - September 2017); images are included. In total 45,859 images were captured; of these 19,393 contained identifiable species or organism types, 565 recorded people, 349 were of species that could not be determined and 25,552 images recorded nothing. In addition there were 687 images of members of the research team setting up and servicing the cameras. All images, with the exception of those that recorded people or camera setup/service, are included as part of the dataset. Site characteristics and descriptions for each camera location are provided (e.g. site location, estimates of ambient dose rate, activity concentration of Cs-137 and Sr-90 in soil, Cs-137 and Sr-90 deposition, extent of fire damage, vegetation and forest cover and density and water proximity). The same person recorded all descriptive parameters. Information related to each cameras deployment is also provided; this includes camera deployment periods, number of days deployed and a summary of the images (e.g. number of images with mammals, birds or insects in, number of images with nothing in, number of images with people in) and the total number of triggering events recorded. Also provided are indicative weighted absorbed dose rates estimated using the ERICA Tool v2.0 https://erica-tool.com/ for a ‘large mammal’ and ‘red fox’. Species definitively captured on the motion activated digital trap cameras were:Brown hare, Eurasian elk, Eurasian lynx, European badger, Domesticated dog (feral), Grey wolf, Przewalski's horse, Raccoon dog, Red deer, Red fox, Red squirrel, Roe deer, Wild boar, Black grouse, Common blackbird, Common buzzard, Common wood pigeon, Eurasian bittern, Eurasian hoopoe, Eurasian Jay, Eurasian sparrowhawk, Eurasian woodcock, European nightjar, European robin, Fieldfare, Great egret, Great grey shrike, Great spotted woodpecker, Great tit, Hazel grouse, Mistle thrush, Red backed shrike and Song thrush. Others identified to genus level include:Marten sp., Finch sp., Shrike sp., Thrush sp. There were also some mammal and bird species which were unidentifiable. Site descriptions, camera information, a summary of the contents of the image catalogue, summaries of mammals and birds by setup, site and camera and all the trap camera images have been provided as part of this dataset.

本数据集包含一套由部署于乌克兰切尔诺贝利（Chornobyl）红森林（Red Forest）的运动触发式数码陷阱相机（motion activated digital trap camera）于2016年9月至2017年9月一年间采集的影像目录，且附带全部原始影像。总计采集影像45859张，其中19393张包含可识别的物种或生物类群，565张记录到人类活动，349张影像的物种无法辨识，另有25552张为无生物的空拍影像。此外还有687张为研究团队成员架设、维护相机的过程影像。本数据集收录除人类活动及相机架设/维护影像之外的全部影像。

每个相机点位均提供了站点特征与描述信息，包括站点位置、环境剂量率估算值、土壤中铯-137（Cs-137）与锶-90（Sr-90）的活度浓度、铯-137与锶-90的沉降量、火灾损毁范围、植被与森林覆盖情况及密度、与水体的邻近程度等。所有描述性参数均由同一人记录。

此外还提供了每台相机的部署相关信息，包括相机部署时段、部署天数、影像汇总数据（如包含哺乳类、鸟类或昆虫的影像数量、空拍影像数量、含人类活动的影像数量）以及记录到的总触发事件数。同时提供了使用ERICA Tool v2.0（https://erica-tool.com/）估算的“大型哺乳类”与“赤狐”的指示性加权吸收剂量率。

本运动触发式数码陷阱相机拍摄到的确定物种包括：欧洲野兔、欧亚驼鹿、欧亚猞猁、欧洲獾、野化家犬、灰狼、普氏野马、貉、马鹿、赤狐、红松鼠、狍、野猪、黑琴鸡、乌鸫、普通鵟、斑尾林鸽、大麻鳽、戴胜、松鸦、雀鹰、丘鹬、欧夜鹰、欧亚鸲、田鸫、大白鹭、灰伯劳、大斑啄木鸟、大山雀、花尾榛鸡、槲鸫、红背伯劳、歌鸫。此外还有鉴定至属级的类群：貂属（Martes sp.）、雀属（Fringilla sp.）、伯劳属（Lanius sp.）、鸫属（Turdus sp.）。另有部分哺乳类与鸟类物种无法辨识。

本数据集包含站点描述、相机信息、影像目录内容汇总、按布设点位、站点及相机分类的哺乳类与鸟类汇总数据，以及全部陷阱相机影像。
