Data 'Vegetation Height Model NFI 2019' available on request (christian.ginzler@wsl.ch).

A national vegetation height model was calculated for Switzerland using digital aerial images. We used the stereo aerial images acquired by the Federal Office of Topography swisstopo using the ADS80 sensor to first calculate a digital surface model (DSM) with a very high spatial resolution (1 × 1 m). The DSM was then normalized to obtain the actual vegetation heights using the digital terrain model (DTM) SwissAlti3D based on airborne laser data. Buildings are masked out using the NDVI information of the aerial images to produce a vegetation height model, and to produce a vegetation height model (VHM). Such a model will be calculated in the framework of the Swiss National Forest Inventory (NFI) with consistent methods and a very high level of detail. For covering the whole of Switzerland, we used summer aerial images from 2013 to 2019.

A national vegetation height model was calculated for Switzerland using digital aerial images.
We used the stereo aerial images acquired by the Federal Office of Topography swisstopo using the ADS80 sensor to first calculate a digital surface model (DSM) with a very high spatial resolution
(1 × 1 m and 0.5 x 0.5 m). The DSM was then normalized to obtain the actual
vegetation heights using a digital terrain model (DTM)
based on laser data with the buildings masked out, and to
produce a vegetation height model (VHM). Such a model
will be calculated in the framework of the Swiss National Forest Inventory (NFI) with consistent methods and a very
high level of detail. For covering the whole of Switzerland,
we use summer aerial images from six years.

Latest version is from 2019.

en: In 1989 a nation-wide survey on spruce seed and cone insects was carried out at 29 locations distributed across the 5 main geographic regions of Switzerland. The cones were incubated in a controlled environment chamber and the emerging insects were collected and identified. The cones were kept for three years to allow diapausing insects to emerge. The methods are described in more detail in the corresponding publications.

en: Snowpack data and crack propagation characteristics

en: Snowpack data includes the elastic modulus (stiffness properties) of the slab, the elastic modulus of the weak layer, and the specific fracture energy of the weak layer determined with a homogeneous and a layered slab model. During crack propagation, we measured the crack speed, touchdown distance, crack arrest length and energy dissipation due to compaction and dynamic fracture.

en: Videos of crack propagation

en: The videos show the cracking process in the Propagation Saw Tests (flat field). The upper panel shows strain on top of the recorded movie frames. The second row shows vertical (w, blue line) and horizontal (u, orange line) displacement fields. The third and fourth row show the first and second time derivatives, namely the velocity and acceleration field.

The self-sustained crack propagation index SSP was also modelled for simulated snow stratigraphy (ssp_modelled.xlsx) using crack speed and critical cut length parameterizations from Heierli (2005) and Richter et al. (2019), respectively.

en: SNOWPACK modelling

en: The snow cover model SNOWPACK (version 3.60) was used to simulate the evolving snow stratigraphy at our field site. The model was driven with data from an automatic weather station which was located 100m next to the field site (FLS_bunker_snowpack.smet). The SNOWPACK initiation file (FLS_bunker_snowpack.ini) contains the selected model parameters that result in the modeled snow stratigraphy (FLS_bunker_snowpack.pro).

en:
This data set includes material and results described in the related research article:

Bergfeld, B., van Herwijnen A., Bobillier, G., Rosendahl P., Weißgraeber P., Adam V., Dual, J., and Schweizer, J.: Temporal evolution of crack propagation characteristics in a weak snowpack layer: conditions of crack arrest and
sustained propagation, Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 23, 293-315, https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-23-293-2023, 2023.

We performed a series of propagation saw test experiments, up to ten meters long, over a period of 10 weeks and analyzed these using digital image correlation techniques. We derived the elastic modulus of the slab, the elastic modulus of the weak layer and the specific fracture energy of the weak layer with a homogeneous and a layered slab model. During crack propagation, we measured crack speed, touchdown distance and the energy dissipation due to compaction and dynamic fracture. Our data set provides unique insight and valuable data to validate models.

 Background information

High elevation ecosystems are important in research about environmental change because shifts in climate associated with anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are predicted to be more pronounced in these areas compared to most other regions of the world. This project involved a Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) and soil warming experiment located in a natural treeline environment near Davos, Switzerland (Stillberg, 2200 m a.s.l.). Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations (+200 ppm) were applied from 2001 until 2009, and a soil warming treatment (+4 °C) was applied from 2007 until 2012. The combined CO2 enrichment and warming treatment reflects conditions expected to occur in this region in approximately 2050. A broad range of ecological and biogeochemical research was carried out as part of this environmental change project.

 Experimental design

The experiment consisted of 40 hexagonal 1.1 m² plots, 20 with a *Pinus mugo* ssp. *uncinata* (mountain pine, evergreen) individual in the centre and 20 with a *Larix decidua* (European larch, deciduous) individual in the centre. A dense cover of understorey vegetation surrounded the tree in each plot, including the dominant dwarf shrub species *Vaccinium myrtillus* (bilberry), *Vaccinium gaultherioides* (group *V. uliginosum agg.*, northern bilberry) and *Empetrum nigrum* ssp. *hermaphroditum* (crowberry) plus several herbaceous and non-vascular species.
At the beginning of the experimental period, the 40 plots were assigned to ten groups of four neighbouring plots (two larch and two pine trees per group) in order to facilitate the logistics of CO2 distribution and regulation. Half of these groups were randomly assigned to an elevated CO2 treatment, while the remaining groups served as controls and received no additional CO2. In spring 2007, one plot of each tree species identity was randomly selected from each of the 10 CO2 treatment groups and assigned a soil warming treatment, yielding a balanced design with a replication of five individual plots for each combination of CO2 level, warming treatment and tree species.

 Data description

Soil and air conditions have been monitored closely throughout the study period, with most measurements made during the combined CO2 x warming experiment (2007-2009). The data comprise of air temperature, soil temperature, soil moisture, sapflow, tree diameter and CO2 measurements.

en: Data Access

en:
In fall 2019, a new set of climate change scenarios has been released for
Switzerland, the CH2018 dataset (www.climate-scenarios.ch). The data are
provided at daily resolution. We produced from the CH2018 dataset a new
set of climate change scenarios temporally downscaled at hourly resolution.
In addition, we extended this dataset integrating the meteorological stations
from the Inter-Cantonal Measurement and Information System (IMIS) network,
an alpine network of automatic meteorological stations operated by the WSL
Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF.

The extension to the IMIS network is obtained using a Quantile Mapping approach
in order to perform a spatial transfer of the CH2018 scenarios from the location
of the MeteoSwiss stations to the location of the IMIS stations. The temporal
downscaling is performed using an enhanced Delta-Change approach. This approach
is based on objective criteria for assessing the quality of the determined delta
and downscaled time series. In addition, this method also fixes a flaw of common
quantile mapping methods (such as used in the CH2018 dataset for spatial downscaling)
related to the decrease of correlation between different variables. The idea behind
the delta change approach is to take the main seasonal signal (and mean) from
climate change scenarios at daily resolution and to map it to a historical time series
at hourly resolution in order to modify the historical time series. The obtained time
series exhibit the same seasonal signal as the original climate change time series,
while it keeps the sub-daily cycle from the historical time series.

The applied methods (Quantile Mapping and Delta-Change) have limitations in
correctly representing statistically extreme events and changes in the frequency
of discontinuous events such as precipitation. In addition, the sub-daily cycle in
the data is inherited from the historical time series, so there is no information
of the climate change signal in this sub-daily cycle. A careful reading of the paper
accompanying the dataset is necessary to understand the limitations and scope of
application of this new dataset.

Data from a 17-year-long irrigation experiment (Pfynwald, Switzerland) in a naturally dry forest dominated by 100-year-old pine trees (Pinus sylvestris).
Data include: (1) Isotopic composition (stable isotope ratios of non-exchangeable hydrogen δ2Hn, carbon δ13C, and nitrogen δ15N) and Hn, C and N concentrations in SOM sources (fresh Pinus sylvestris needles, litter layer, fine roots), bulk SOM (organic layer, 0-2 cm, 2-5 cm, 60-80 cm), particle-size fractions (depths: 0-2 cm, 2-5 cm; cPOM: coarse POM; fPOM: fine POM; MOM: mineral-associated organic matter); (2) Mass loss, δ2Hn values and Hn concentrations of Pinus sylvestris fine roots and needle litter (litter decomposition experiments from Herzog et al. 2019, ISME journal, and Guidi et al. 2022, Global Change Biology); (3) Relative source contribution (foliar litter, fine roots, and mycelia) to bulk SOM and fractions estimated using Bayesian mixing models (R package MixSIAR, version 3.1.12) with irrigation and depth as fixed factors. The models were informed with δ13C, δ15N and δ2Hn values and C, N, and Hn concentrations of foliar litter, roots, and mycelia as input sources. Given the kinetic isotope fractionation occurring during microbial SOM decomposition, the mixing models were informed with isotope fractionation factors, representing the isotope enrichment from sources to soils; (4) Fraction of new organic Hn (Fnew) over the irrigation period, calculated using a simple end-member mixing model according to Balesdent et al.

Ground vegetation is an important compartment of the ecosystem in terms of biodiversity and it takes an active part in the general functioning of the ecosystem. It is also a useful bio-indicator of the site conditions and its monitoring may enable the detection of environmental changes. Ground vegetation relevés were repeatedly carried out at 17 LWF plots in the period between 1994 and 2011. In 2013, ground vegetation was surveyed at an additional LWF plot (Laegeren). Phytosociological relevés were carried out in one or two concentric circular plots of 30, 200, 400 and 500 m2. All species occurring on the whole area of the LWF plot were also noted during the first vegetation survey.

 Purpose:

To assess the species diversity of ground vegetation and detect possible environmental changes using its bio-indicator value.

The present dataset is part of the published scientific paper entitled “Landscape ecological concepts in planning: review of recent developments” (Hersperger et al., 2021). The goal of this research was to review recent publications to assess the use of landscape ecological concepts in planning. Specifically, we address the following research questions: Q1. Landscape ecological concepts: What are they? How frequently are they mentioned in current research? Q2. How are landscape ecological concepts integrated in landscape planning?

We analysed all empirical and overview papers that have been published in four key academic journals in the field of landscape ecology and landscape planning in the years 2015–2019 (n = 1918). Four key journals in the field of landscape ecology were selected to conduct the analysis, respectively Landscape Ecology (LE), Landscape Online (LO), Current Landscape Ecology Reports (CLER), and Landscape and Urban Planning (LUP). The title, abstract and keywords of all papers were read in order to identify landscape ecological concepts. Then, all 1918 papers went through a keyword search to identify the use of early and additional concepts. We used the “pdfsearch” package in R programming language and searched for singular and plural forms and different variations of the concepts (see Supplementary material 1, Table A). As a result, we provided four outputs:

  1. Frequency of early concepts. This data provides the total number of times each article used each early concept (Q1). This data was used to produce the Figure 2a at the original publication.

  2. Frequency of additional concepts. This data provides the total number of times each article used each additional concept (Q1). This data was used to produce the Figure 2b at the original publication.

  3. Use of any early concept. This data provides the total number of times each article used any early concept (Q1).
This data was used to produce the Figure 3a at the original publication.

  4. Use of any additional concept. This data provides the total number of times each article used any additional concept (Q1). This data was used to produce the Figure 3b at the original publication.

To address the second question (Q2), the title, abstract and keywords of the papers included in our sample (n=1918 articles) were screened to identify papers that might show how landscape ecological concepts are integrated into planning. We selected 52 empirical papers (see Supplementary material – 4 Integration of landscape ecological concepts into planning), and we provided two outputs:

  5. Planning steps. This data provides the number of times landscape ecological concepts were addressed in each
planning steps in 52 empirical papers analysed in detail (Q2). This data was used to produce the Figure 4 at the
original publication.

  6. Protocol for assessing the integration of landscape ecological concepts into planning. To systematically collect the
data, we used this protocol which addressed the following questions: (a) which type of planning is addressed by the
paper? (b) to which planning level does the paper refer to? (c) which concepts are integrated in any of the planning
steps described above?

 Summary

This data set contains Python programming code and modeled data discussed in a related research article. We developed a simple isotope model to study the drivers of the particularly depleted vapour isotopic composition measured on the ship of the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition close to the outlet of the Mertz glacier, East Antarctica, in the 6-day period from 27 January 2017 to 1 February 2017. The model considers the stable water isotopologues H2(16O), H2(18O), and HD(16O). It uses data from the ERA5 reanalysis product with a spatial resolution of 0.25° x 0.25° (Hersbach et al., 2018) and 10-day backward trajectories for the location of the ship, published by Thurnherr et al. (2020a). Our data set includes the model code, Python scripts for visualizing the results, and data produced by the model including the results shown in the figures of the related research article. Here, we summarize the most important model characteristics while further details can be found in the readme.txt file and the related research article including its supporting information.

 Main model characteristics

The modeling approach consists of two steps called *Model Sublimation* and *Model Air Parcel*. The former estimates the isotopic compositions of the snow and sublimation flux across the Antarctic Ice Sheet using an Eulerian frame of reference while the latter models the vapour isotopic composition and specific humidity along air parcel trajectories using a Lagrangian frame of reference. The isotope effects of most phase changes are represented by equilibrium fractionation. Only for ocean evaporation, kinetic fractionation is additionally taken into account (original Craig-Gordon formula). For snow sublimation, two assumptions are tested: *Run E* assumes that sublimation is associated with equilibrium fractionation while *Run N* assumes that sublimation occurs without isotopic fractionation.

 Model Sublimation
Model Sublimation uses a simple one-dimensional mass-balance approach in each grid cell, considering snow accumulation due to snowfall and vapour deposition and snow ablation due to sublimation. The snowpack is represented by 100 layers of equal thickness (e.g., 1 cm) and density (350 kg m-3). The isotopic composition of snowfall is parameterized by generalizing a site-specific, empirical relationship between the daily mean air temperature and snowfall isotopic composition. In the case of vapour deposition, Model Sublimation assumes equilibrium fractionation and estimates the isotopic composition of the atmospheric vapour as the average value for two idealized situations: (i) locally sourced vapour which has the same isotopic composition as the sublimation flux; (ii) non-locally sourced vapour in isotopic equilibrium with snowfall. Model Sublimation is run with a time step of 1 h, independently of Model Air Parcel.

 Model Air Parcel
Every hour, an ensemble of trajectories arrives at different heights in the ABL above the ship. For each of these trajectories, we consider an air parcel with a constant volume of 1 x 1 x 1 m3. The air parcels are initialized at the first suitable time when the trajectories are located in the ABL, either over the ice-free ocean in conditions of evaporation or over snow (Antarctic Ice Sheet or sea ice). Subsequently, the masses of the water isotopologues in the air parcels are simulated with a time step of 3 h, considering vapour uptake or removal due to the moisture flux at the snow or liquid ocean surface (only if the parcel is in the ABL) and cloud/precipitation formation (if the saturation specific humidity is reached). Sea ice is taken into account in a very simplified way. We represent the sea ice by grid cells with a sea-ice cover of more than 90% and assume the isotopic composition of the sublimation flux to be identical to that in the nearest grid cell of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The isotopic composition of the sublimation flux is taken from Model Sublimation whereas the isotopic composition of the vapour deposition flux (over snow) and condensation flux (over ice-free ocean) is simulated assuming an isotopic equilibrium with the air parcel. Isotope effects of cloud/precipitation formation are represented using the classic Rayleigh distillation model with equilibrium fractionation, where the cloud water is assumed to precipitate immediately after formation.

* Final Data to Figure 6: Uptake coefficients at different temperatures as a function of gas- phase ozone concentration.

The average ozone uptake coefficients of the three cycles between the bypass and the flow tube per repeat is taken as the mean uptake coefficient for each experiment. Gamma was corrected for gas phase diffusion limitation following the Cooney–Kim– Davis (CKD) method52 (see supporting material of publication for details).

en: The reaction of ozone with bromide in polar regions results in the formation of reactive bromide species with impacts on ozone budget and the oxidative capacity of the lower atmosphere. Here, we present a data investigating the temperature dependence of bromide oxidation by ozone using a coated wall flow tube reactor coated with an aqueous mixture of citric acid and sodium bromide, a proxy for sea salt aerosol in snow or the free troposphere. Thus study shows the effect of of organic species at relatively mild temperatures between the freezing point and eutectic temperature as typical for Earth's cryosphere.

In order to digitally plan a cable line using the QGIS plugin ‘Seilaplan’, maps with various background information are helpful. In this tutorial we show you how to obtain maps that are helpful for cable line planning, for example a national map of Switzerland at different scales, the NFI vegetation height model or the NFI forest mix rate. For this we explain what WMS datasets are and how to integrate them into QGIS. No download of large data is needed for this, only a good internet connection. Please note that the tutorial language is German!

**************************

Für die Verwendung des QGIS Plugins Seilaplan zur digitalen Seillinienplanung sind verschiedene Hintergrundkarten hilfreich. In diesem Tutorialvideo zeigen wir, was WMS Daten sind und wie man diese in QGIS einbinden kann. Dafür müssen die Daten nicht heruntergeladen werden. Es braucht lediglich eine gute Internetverbindung. Für die Seillinienplanung hilfreiche Karten sind bspw. die Landeskarte der Schweiz in verschiedenen Massstäben, das Vegetationshöhenmodell LFI oder der Waldmischungsgrad LFI.

en:
In the canton of Aargau, hundreds of new ponds have been constructed since the 1990s to benefit declining amphibian populations. This dataset consists of monitoring data for all 12 pond-breeding amphibian species in the canton of Aargau from 1999 to 2019 in 856 ponds, and environmental variables that describe the ponds and the landscape surrounding the ponds. Species observation data is detection/non-detection data from repeat visits during survey years, during which all potentially suitable ponds in an area were surveyed. Environmental variables describing the ponds are whether the pond has been newly constructed since 1991 or not, pond age (if constructed), elevation a.s.l., the water surface area, and whether the water table fluctuates or not. Environmental variables describing the surroundings of the ponds are the percent area of forest within a circular buffer of radius 100m around the pond, the area of large (width ≥6m) roads within a circular buffer of radius 1km around the pond, and structural connectivity.

The canton of Aargau is the owner of the monitoring data; the original datafile is only disclosed upon request and in consultation with the canton of Aargau.

The edited dataset contains cleaned observation data for the 12 amphibian species, as well as compiled and edited covariate data and code to fit dynamic occupancy models.
