en: Although species range may be obtained using expert maps or modeling methods, expert data is often species-limited and statistical models need more technical expertise as well as many species observations. When unavailable, such information may be extracted from the Global Biodiversity Information facility (GBIF), the largest public data repository inventorying georeferenced species observations worldwide. However, retrieving GBIF records at large scale may be tedious if users are unaware of specific tools and functions that need to be employed. Here we present *gbif.range*, an R library that contains automated methods to generate species range maps from scratch using in-house ecoregions shapefiles and an easy-to-use GBIF download wrapper. Finally, this library also offers a set of additional very useful parameters and functions for large GBIF datasets (generate doi, extract GBIF taxonomy, records filtering...).

In der Schweiz werden Wasserkraftanlagen (WKA) mit einer Leistung von mehr als 300 kW systematisch erfasst und in der nationalen Wasserkraftstatistik (WASTA) zusammengetragen. Die WASTA bildet eine umfangreiche Datengrundlage für Analysen bezüglich Wasserkraft, auch im Kontext von Klimawandel, Biodiversitätsverlust und Energiewende. Nicht erfasst auf nationaler Ebene waren bis anhin die sogenannten Kleinstwasserkraftwerke, WKA mit einer Leistung von weniger als 300 kW. Kleinstwasserkraftwerke tragen zwar nicht wesentlich zur Schweizer Elektrizitätsversorgung bei, haben jedoch aufgrund ihrer hohen Anzahl Auswirkungen auf die Gewässerökologie, die mit den Klimawandel noch stärker unter Druck gerät.
Der neu erstellte Datensatz CH-Kleinstwasserkraftwerke umfasst 1'682 WKA mit einer Leistung von weniger als 300 kW. In den zwei Datensätzen WASTA (> 300 kW) und CH-Kleinstwasserkraftwerke (≤ 300 kW) sind zurzeit 2’388 WKA erfasst. Im Austausch mit den 26 Kantonen wurde jedoch klar, dass es sich nicht um eine vollständige Sammlung von Kleinstwasserkraftwerken handelt. Die 1'682 Kleinstwasserkraftwerke machen rund 70% aller erfassten WKA in der Schweiz aus, tragen jedoch mit weniger als 600 GWh/Jahr lediglich rund 1.5% zur schweizerischen Wasserkraftproduktion bei. In einem optimistischen Szenario, in dem die jährliche Produktionserwartung tendenziell überschätzt wird, liegt dieser Anteil um 0.3% höher. Von den erfassten 2’388 WKA erzeugen die 10% der grössten Anlagen über 90% der schweizerischen Wasserkraftproduktion. Der Datensatz CH-Kleinstwasserkraftwerke ist im Rahmen der ETH-Initiative SPEED2ZERO entstanden, die Klimadienstleistungen in den Bereichen Klimawandel, Biodiversitätsverlust und Energiewende erbringt (https://speed2zero.ethz.ch).

Meteorological and soil moisture measurements from soil moisture stations installed from October 2010 - October 2013 in the area surrounding Davos, in particular in the Dischma catchment.

There are in total 7 stations: 1202, 1203, 1204, 1205, 222, 333 and SLF2. For each of the stations, there is a:

* vwc_[stn].smet: containing the soil moisture measurements

* station_[stn].smet: in-situ measured meteorlogical parameters. Note, the quality of these measurements for stations 1202, 1203, 1204 and 1205 is very low, with data gaps. Use this data with care. For stations 222, 333 and SLF2, data quality is high and only the default cautiousness should be applied.

* interpolatedmeteo_[stn].smet contains per stations a dataset derived by interpolating from several stations in the Davos area to the stations location. This dataset was generated from the output of the Alpine3D model, of which simulations are presented in the Wever et al. (2017) manuscript.

At the soil moisture measurement sites, Decagon 10HS sensors were installed, at 10, 30, 50, 80 and 120 cm depth. Per depth 2 sensors were installed, labelled A and B in the datafiles. Note that at stations 1203, 1204 and 1205, sensors were only installed at 10, 30 and 50 cm depth.

The files follow the SMET format: https://models.slf.ch/docserver/meteoio/SMET_specifications.pdf and metadata for the stations can be found in the header of the smet files.

Please cite the Wever et al. (2017) reference when using this data in publications.

en: Earth’s snow cover is very dynamic on diurnal time scales. The changes to the snow structure during this metamorphism have wide ranging impacts such as on avalanche formation and on the capacity of surface snow to exchange trace gases with the atmosphere. Here, we investigate the influence of dry metamorphism, which involves fluxes of water vapor, on the chemical reactivity of bromide in the snow. For this, the heterogeneous reactive loss of ozone at a concentration of 5-6E12 molecules cm-3 is investigated in artificial, shock-frozen snow samples doped with 6.2 uM sodium bromide and with varying metamorphism history. The oxidation of bromide in snow is one reaction initiating polar bromine releases and ozone depletions.

There are many sources providing atmospheric weather station data for the Antarctic continent. However, variable naming, timestamps and data types are highly variable between the different sources. The published python code intends to make processing of different AWS sources from Antarctica easier. For all datasets that are taken into account variables are renamed in a consistent way. Data from different sources can then be handled in one consistent python dictionary.

The following data sources are taken into account:

* AAD: Australian Antarctic Division (https://data.aad.gov.au/aws)

This dataset contains all data and R codes (R Development Core Team, https://www.R-project.org) used in the following publication: Donati GFA, Parravicini V, Leprieur F, Hagen O, Gaboriau T, Heine C, Kulbicki M, Rolland J, Salamin N, Albouy C, Pellissier L. "A process-based model supports an association between dispersal and the prevalence of species traits in tropical reef fish assemblages" accepted by Ecography in August 2019. When using this data and R scripts the above publication should be cited.

The interaction of habitat dynamics with species dispersal abilities could generate gradients
in species diversity and prevalence of life-history and ecological traits, when the latter are associated with dispersal potential. In this dataset, we use a spatial mechanistic model of speciation, extinction and dispersal, constrained by a dispersal parameter. This model allows to simulate the interplay between reef habitat dynamics over the past 140 million years and dispersal, shaping lineage diversification history and global assemblage composition of over 6000 tropical reef fish species. Global trait distribution data of tropical reef fish are used to evaluate the congruence between simulations and observations.

en: We provide seven datasets: 1) the metaweb, 2) the taxa checklist, 3) the data source meta-dataset, 4) the list of generalist basal and predator families and polylectic species with citations and 5) a dataset with citations for the inferences of missing predators, 6) a dataset with citations for the parallel inference of diets from similar species and 7) a list of other existing metawebs. The empirical dataset is 00_empirical_metaweb.csv. To reproduce the final metaweb (01_final_metaweb.csv), start the R Project file: trophich.Rproj. We provide five scripts, accompanying functions, and the raw data required to run these scripts to reproduce the taxonomic expansion and validation of the datasets. In the first script (01_inferring_interactions.R), we infer interactions using genus and family level interactions and for basal feeding groups (see Methods: Taxonomic expansion). In the second script (02_inferring_interactions_special_cases.R), we infer further interactions for a few special cases with detailed explanations. In the third script (03_metaweb_comparisons.Rmd), we provide the statistical comparisons between our metaweb and other empirical metawebs as an R Markdown document. We additionally provide a a Python Jupyter Notebook document, outlining the error validation of the data extraction process (04_error_validation.ipynb and an accompanying .html file). Finally, we provide a script to reproduce figure 1 from the data paper (05_metaweb_summary_figure_1.R).

Environmental pressures on species can cascade within food webs and even extend beyond individual ecosystems to interconnected systems at large spatial scales. To facilitate the exploration of these dynamics, we construct a data-based national trophic meta-food web (henceforth metaweb), that includes well-documented vertebrates, invertebrates, and vascular plants within Switzerland's national boundaries, and compiles 160 years of ecological knowledge. We additionally use a combination of taxonomic and geographic information to infer further species-level interactions. Our comprehensive dataset catalogues 1,112,073 trophic interactions involving 23,151 species and 125 feeding guilds (e.g. detritivores, fungivores, etc). While explorations of large-scale food webs in space and time have often relied on modelling approaches due to limited data availability, this empirically based metaweb paves the way for data-driven large-scale studies of real-world food webs. By integrating the metaweb with knowledge of local species assemblages, future studies can gain insights into the impact of global change drivers, including climate change and land-use intensification, on food web structures across spatial scales.
**Please note that this dataset is under embargo until publication of the paper.**

This dataset was used to analyse effects of different biodiversity and functional group treatments, fertilizer and fungicide applications as well as weeding of vascular plants on the species richness and species composition of bryophytes for the following publication: Lin M., Bergamini A., Pichon N.A., Allan E, Boch S. 2025. Nitrogen enrichment and vascular plant richness loss reduce bryophyte richness. Scientific Reports.
In this study we surveyed 96 of 216 2 m x 2 m experimental plots of the PaNDiv experiment, a large grassland field experiment in the Swiss lowlands (Pichon et al. 2020). In the PaNDiv experiment four experimental treatments were applied in a full-factorial design manipulating: (1) the nitrogen availability (through fertilization), (2) the presence of fungal pathogens (through fungicide application), (3) the functional composition of the vascular plant community (represented here by community-weighted mean (CWM) SLA), and (4) the vascular plant richness (sowing of either 1, 4, 8 or 20 species). To maintain the original sown vascular plant species richness and composition, one part of each plot (1.5 m × 2 m) was weeded, while the other part has been left unweeded since the beginning of the experiment (0.5 m × 2 m).
On each plot we surveyed two subplots, the unweeded subplot and a weeded subplot of the same area (0.5 m × 2 m). On each subplot we established a complete list of all bryophyte species together with an estimate of their cover.
The provided excel file contains three sheets:
1.	A sheet with raw species lists of all plots surveyed together with information on all treatments and an estimation of the percentage cover of vascular plants in a summer campaign in August 2022. Cover of bryophytes was estimated for each species in percent.
2.	A sheet with a list of all bryophyte species with its growth form (acroarpous/pleurocarpous)
3.	A sheet with some explantations
By means of the provided R code and the data in the excel file, all analyses can be repeated.

Fish environmental DNA data set collected in the shallow seamount of La Pérouse located between Madagascar and Réunion Island

In 2019, we sampled the shallow seamount of La Pérouse, located between Madagascar and Réunion Island in the WIO. La Pérouse is an extinct volcano with a summit depth at 60 m below the sea surface. The plateau of the summit has a maximum length of 12 km and a maximum width of 4 km. One side of the seamount might have collapsed in the past, leading to a less common crescent-shaped summit. The abyssal plains that surround this isolated pinnacle are at a depth of 5000 m. Despite its proximity to Réunion Island (160 km northwest), La Pérouse and its surroundings are still poorly studied.
To sample eDNA in this location we used a submersible pump (Subspace, Geneva, Switzerland; nominal flow of ~ 1.0 L/min) to collect samples at various depths during close circuit rebreather dives. The pump has an internal battery and can be activated underwater allowing in situ filtration directly at the targeted habitat and depth. The filtration lasted for 30 min to collect a total water volume of ~ 30 L. During close circuit rebreather dives, water samples from various depths, ranging from 60 to 140 m below the sea surface, were collected using only the Submersible method (eight stations: no replicates). Out of the eight water samples, six were collected during the day, while two were collected at night (IS2_1 at 62 m and IS7_1 at 100–125 m). We applied this filtration protocols to collect and filter water throughout a VigiDNA® 0.2 μM cross-flow filtration capsule (SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France) using disposable sterile tubing for each filtration capsule. After the filtration process, the remaining water in the capsules was emptied. The capsules were then filled with 80 ml of lysis conservation buffer (CL1 buffer SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France) and stored at room temperature in the dark. At La Pérouse, a total of eight water samples were collected during the MONT LA PÉROUSE expedition (https://gombessa-expeditions.com/mont-la-perouse/) on board the ship La Curieuse to the seamount La Pérouse from October 27th to November 5th 2019. We followed a strict contamination control protocol in both field and laboratory stages. Each water sample processing included the use of disposable gloves and single-use filtration equipment to avoid any risk of contamination. Libraries were prepared with ligation using the MetaFast protocol (Fasteris).
Data content:
	* rawdata/: contains the raw reads for each individual sample. One archive contains the paired-end reads specified by the _R1 or _R2 suffix as well as individually tagged PCR replicates (if available) together with an archive containing all extraction and PCR blank samples of the library. Reads have been demultiplexed using cutadapt but not trimmed, individual demultiplexing tags and primers remain present in the sequences.
	* taxadata/: contains the table with all detected taxonomy for each sample after bioinformatic processing (see Polanco et al. 2020 for details; https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.140) and associated field metadata.

en: Paper Draft

en: This is the initial draft of the paper where the snowBedFoam 1.0. results are tested against Terrestrial Laser Scan (TLS) measurements of snow dynamics on Arctic sea ice (MOSAiC expedition). It highlights the numerical limitations of our model as well as the measurement uncertainties, which may occur in such extreme environments.

en:
snowBedFoam 1.0. is a snow transport solver implemented in the computational fluid dynamics software OpenFOAM. It is adapted from the standard multi-phase flow solver DPMFoam for application in snow-influenced environments.
To simulate aeolian snow transport, snowBedFoam 1.0. handles coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian phases, which involve a finite number of particles (snow) spread in a continuous phase (air). The snow erosion and deposition are modelled through physics-based equations similar to the ones employed in the well-established LES-Lagrangian Stochastic Model (Comola and Lehning, 2017 ; Sharma et al., 2018 ; Melo et al., 2022). This modelling approach is computationally intensive and thus adapted to simulate snow movement and distribution on small scale terrain.
First, snowBedFoam 1.0. was applied to topographical data collected on Arctic sea ice during the MOSAiC expedition (Clemens-Sewall, 2021). Together with atmospheric data from the MOSAiC Met City (Shupe et al., 2021) used for the fluid forcing, the model was able to accurately simulate the zones of erosion and deposition of snow along a complex ice ridge structure (Hames et al., 2022).
Second, snowBedFoam 1.0. was used to simulate the snow distribution around the German Antarctic research station Neumayer Station III. The effect of snow properties, fluid forcing and aerodynamic structures on the snow accumulation were assessed.
snowBedFoam 1.0 was implemented in 2 different OpenFOAM versions, namely OpenFOAM-2.3.0 and OpenFOAM-5.0. The latter offers more options for turbulence models and boundary conditions. The fundamental model equations were not changed from one implementation to the other, thus both still correspond to snowBedFoam 1.0. The two branches are called snowBedFoam-v1-2.3.0 (OpenFOAM-2.3.0) and snowBedFoam-v1-5.0 (OpenFOAM-5.0). The core codes of snowBedFoam 1.0. are directly accessible on the WSL/SLF GitLab repository (more details in the Resources section).

*Currently, this dataset is intended solely for article review purposes and may not be used for any other purposes.*
This dataset consists of a series of full snow profiles collected at the field site of Weissfluhjoch, Davos, Switzerland over the two snow seasons of 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. This series of snow profiles was collected with a high vertical and temporal resolution, with a specific focus on the melting seasons, during which up to 3 snow profiles per week were sampled. This dataset is part of the measurement campaign carried out within the SnowTinel project, whose aim is to explore the Sentinel-1 SAR backscattering response to melting Alpine snowpacks. Therefore, this dataset contains manual measurements of the main properties of snow which are responsible for scattering, i.e. temperature, density, specific surface area (SSA), liquid water content (LWC), surface roughness and snow water equivalent (SWE).
The dataset is composed of a total of 85 snow profiles, 38 carried out in 2022-2023 and 47 in 2023-2024.
 - Profiles of snow **temperature** were sampled at a vertical resolution of 10 cm (2022-2023) and 5 cm (2023-2024) using HI98501 Checktemp from Hanna Instruments;
  - Profiles of snow **density** were sampled at a vertical resolution of 3 cm using a box density cutter and a digital scale;
  - Profiles of snow **specific surface area** were sampled at a vertical resolution of 4 cm using the InfraSnow sensor from FPGA;
  - Profiles of snow **liquid water content** were sampled at a vertical resolution of 2 cm using the Denothmeter (2022-2023) and the New Capacitive Sensor from FPGA (2023-2024). In conditions of ripe snow, dielectric measurements were backed up by melting calorimetry measurements following a recently revised field protocol;
  - Snow **surface roughness** is expressed by the Root Mean Square of the Heights (RMSH) and the correlation length (CL), both computed from a digitized snow transect obtained by a digital photograph of a panel vertically inserted into the snow.
- **Snow water equivalent** was sampled in sections from the surface to the bottom of the snowpack with a cylinder cutter.

Additionally, **runoff** was automatically measured in the close proximity to the measurement field at a sub-hourly resolution by a lysimeter. The instrument was unfortunately discovered to be clogged at the start of the runoff in 2023 and only repaired in late May 2023. Therefore, the time series is not explanatory for the runoff start in 2023. The instrument was inspected timely and assessed as fully functional for the following snow season. The manually measured values of **SWE** are complemented by an automatically recorded time series at sub-hourly time intervals with a SSG1000 snow scale manufactured by Sommer Messtechnik, Austria.

In the associated study [1], evolution of randomly generated bi-continuous microstructures that resemble real snow microstructures has been investigated. The control of the ambient conditions (temperature and temperature gradient) and of the physical processes at play on the rate of change of the specific surface area have been evaluated. Based on the evaluation, a new physically-informed governing law for the coarsening of microstructures has been proposed. This law accurately predicts the simulation outputs under various conditions. Furthermore, a potential parametrization of newly introduced material properties has been proposed and evaluated on snow coarsening data.
This dataset contains the parameters used for the mesh generation and the finite-element simulations. The output parameters of simulations, such as the ice fraction, surface of the ice-air interface per total volume, mean curvature and growth rate are provided.

Outlines of 18'737 avalanches mapped from SPOT6 satellite data over the Swiss Alps on 24 January 2018. The outlines have different attributes described in the data example key (ExampleKey_AvalMapping.pdf)

The generation of the data is described in:

Bühler, Y., E. D. Hafner, B. Zweifel, M. Zesiger, and H. Heisig (2019), Where are the avalanches? Rapid SPOT6 satellite data acquisition to map an extreme avalanche period over the Swiss Alps, The Cryosphere, 13(12), 3225-3238, doi:10.5194/tc-13-3225-2019.

Abstract.
Accurate and timely information on avalanche occurrence are key for avalanche warning, crisis management and avalanche documentation. Today such information is mainly available at isolated locations provided by observers in the field. The achieved reliability considering accuracy, completeness and reliability of the reported avalanche events is limited. In this study we present the spatial continuous mapping of a large avalanche period in January 2018 covering the majority of the Swiss Alps (12’500 km2).

We tested different satellite sensors available for rapid mapping during a first avalanche period. Based on these experiences, we tasked SPOT6/7 data for data acquisition to cover the second, much larger avalanche period. We manually mapped the outlines of 18’737 individual avalanche events, applying image enhancement techniques to analyze regions in cast shadow as well as brightly illuminated ones. The resulting dataset of mapped avalanche outlines, having a unique completeness and reliability, is evaluated to produce maps of avalanche occurrence and avalanche size. We validated the mapping of the avalanche outlines using photographs acquired from helicopters just after the avalanche period.

This study demonstrates the applicability of optical, very high spatial resolution satellite data to map an exceptional avalanche period with very high completeness, accuracy and reliability over a large region. The generated avalanche data is of great value to validate avalanche bulletins, complete existing avalanche databases and for research applications by enabling meaningful statistics on important avalanche parameters.

This dataset contains the values of several chemical elements (Mg, Al, Si, S, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Sr, Tl, Pb, Bi) measured in the latewood of tree rings of Mongolian oak from Harbin, China, at a 5-year resolution. Due to the lack of a suitable reference material for wood, absolute concentration was not calculated, and the ratio between the chemical element and 13C was taken as proxy for the element signal.

In Harbin, one of the largest cities and most important industrial centers in northeastern China, air quality monitoring systems were built only by the end of 2015 to meet the national requirements. Thus, dendrochemical analyses could be used as a tool to complement for the lack of air quality data over longer periods of time, allowing for the reconstruction of the temporal trend of trace metals. Our main scopes were to: (a) assess the chemical composition of Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb. tree rings from Harbin using a recently developed system of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), (b) identify the main chemical elements which
derived from air pollution and may be used as indicators over the period 1965–2020 in Harbin, while excluding those that were controlled by physiological processes in the tree, and (c) reconstruct the history of pollution in Harbin by comparing the tree-ring chemical composition of recent decades with that of previous decades, in trees growing in the highly polluted city of Harbin and in trees growing in a control site 90 km away from major pollution sources.

Briefly, the temporal trend of some elements was influenced by physiological factors, by environmental factors such as pollution, or influenced by both. Mg, K, Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, As, Sr and Tl showed changes in pollution levels over time.

The global biodiversity crisis driven by anthropogenic pressures significantly threatens marine ecosystems functioning. The rate of climate change and the impacts of anthropogenic pressures outpacing the capabilities of our observation tools, stresses the need to develop new methods to assess these rapid modifications. Environmental DNA (eDNA; DNA traces released by organisms) metabarcoding has emerged as a non-invasive method that has been widely developed over the last decade. Thanks to a large spatio-temporal coverage, high detection of rare species and its time and cost effectiveness, eDNA metabarcoding represents a promising biomonitoring tool. However, capturing fish diversity using eDNA requires a high-quality genetic reference database, which we are currently still lacking. For the South European Atlantic shelf area, we estimated that only 41% of the fish species present were recorded in the available eDNA reference databases. Improving reference databases can notably rely on opportunistic sampling enabling the reporting of sequences for new species. Therefore, the data provided here consists of barcoding 95 species of ray-finned and cartilaginous fishes over the 12S mitochondrial DNA gene. We generated 168 12S barcodes from fishes that were sampled in the Bay of Biscay (Northeast Atlantic, France) between 2017 and 2019. We also provided the “Teleo” barcode associated with a specific 12S region for each individual. In addition to the sequences, we provided for each individual the taxonomy, the details associated with the barcode (Genbank accession number, chromatograms), a photograph, as well as 5 ecomorphological measures and 11 life-history traits. These traits document several functions such as dispersion, diet, habitat use, and position in the food web. Furthermore, we provided the metadata of each sampling site (date, station, sampling hour, gear, latitude, longitude, depth) and environmental variables measured in situ (conductivity, salinity, water temperature, water density, air temperature).
This data set is highly valuable to improve the Northeast Atlantic eDNA genetic database, thus helping to better understand the effects of environmental forcing in the Bay of Biscay, a transition zone housing mixed assemblages of boreal, temperate and subtropical fish species susceptible to display variability in functional traits to adapt to changing conditions.

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?
