1. General context of the data set "lsUDPs"
The data set "lsUDPs" has been generated as part of the CONCUR research project (https://www.wsl.ch/en/projects/concur.html) led by Dr. Anna M. Hersperger and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (ERC TBS Consolidator Grant (ID: BSCGIO 157789) for the period 2016-2020. The CONCUR research project is interdisciplinary and aims to develop a scientific basis for adequately integrating spatial policies (in this case, strategic spatial plans) into quantitative land-change modelling approaches at the urban regional level. The first stage (2016-2017) of the CONCUR project focussed on 21 urban regions in Western Europe. The urban regions were selected through a multi-stage strategy for empirical research (see Hersperger, A. M., Grădinaru, S., Oliveira, E., Pagliarin, S., & Palka, G. (2019). Understanding strategic spatial planning to effectively guide development of urban regions. Cities, 94, 96–105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2019.05.032 ).

2. Background and aims of the study using the data set lsUDPs
As part of the CONCUR project, a specific task was to examine the relationship between strategic spatial plans and the formulation and implementation (i.e. urban land change) of large-scale urban development projects in Western Europe.
Strategic urban projects are typically large-scale, prominent urban transformations implemented locally with the aim to stimulate urban growth, for instance in the form of urban renewals of deprived neighborhoods, waterfront renewals and transport infrastructures. While strategic urban projects are referred to in the literature with multiple terms, in the CONCOR project we call them large-scale urban development projects (lsUDPs).
Previous studies acknowledged both local and supra-local (or structural) factors impacting the context-specific implementation of lsUDPs. Local governance factors, such as institutional capacity, coordination among public and private actors and political leadership, intertwine with supra-local conditions, such as state re-scaling processes and devolution of state competencies in spatial planning, de-industrialisation and increasing social inequality. Hence, in implementing lsUDPs, multi-scalar factors act in combination.
Because the formulation and implementation of lsUDPs require multi-scalar coordination among coalitions of public and private actors over an extended period of time, they are generally linked to strategic spatial plans (SSPs). Strategic spatial plans convey collective visions and horizons of action negotiated among public and private actors at the local and/or regional level to steer future urban development, and can contain legally binding dispositions, but also indicative guidelines.
The key question remains as to what extent large-scale urban development projects and strategic spatial plans can be regarded as aligned. By alignment, or “concordance”, we mean that strategic projects are formulated and implemented as part of the strategic planning process (“high concordance”), or that the strategic role of projects is reconfirmed in (subsequent) strategic plans (“moderate concordance”). Lack of concordance is found when lsUDPs have been limitedly (or not at all) acknowledged in strategic spatial plans.
We assume that certain local and supra-local factors, characterising the development of the projects, foster (but not strictly “cause”) the degree of alignment between lsUPDs and SSPs. In this study, we empirically examine how, and to what extent, the concordance between 38 European large-scale urban development projects and strategic plans (outcome: CONCOR) has been enabled by five multi-scalar factors (or conditions): (i) the role of the national state (STATE), (ii) the role of (inter)national private actors (PRIVATE), (iii) the occurrence of supra-regional external events (EVENTS), (iv) the degree of transport connectivity (TRANSP), and (v) local resistance from civil society (RESIST). We adopted a (multi-data) case-based qualitative strategy for empirical research and applied the formalised procedure of within- and cross-case comparison offered by fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis appropriate for the goal of this study. Based on set theory, QCA formally integrates contextual sensitivity to case specificities (within-case knowledge) with systematic comparative analysis (across-case knowledge).
The research question the data set has been created to reply to is the following: which conditions, and combinations of conditions, enable the concordance between large-scale urban development projects and strategic spatial plans?
The conditions (“independent variables”) considered are. STATE: the set of large-scale urban projects characterized by a high degree of state intervention and support in their formulation and implementation, PRIVATE: the set of large-scale urban projects characterized by a high degree of involvement of (inter)national private actors in their formulation and implementation, EVENTS: the set of large-scale strategic projects whose formulation and implementation have been strongly affected by unforeseen international events and/or global trends, TRANSP: the set of large-scale strategic projects with a high degree of road and/or transit connectivity, and RESIST: set of large-scale strategic projects whose realization has been characterized by resistances that have substantially delayed or modified the project implementation.
The outcome (“dependent variable”) under analysis is CONCOR: the set of large-scale urban projects having a high degree of concordance/alignment/integration with strategic spatial plans

3. The data set lsUDPs

   3.1 Selection of cases and data collection
To generate the current data set on large-scale urban development projects in European urban regions (data set "lsUDPs"), we identified 35 large-scale urban development projects in a sample of the 21 Western urban regions considered in the CONCUR project (see supra, Hersperger et al. 2019): Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Lyon, Manchester, Milan, Stockholm, Stuttgart. The criteria we followed to identify the 35 large-scale urban development projects are: geographical location, size (large-scale), site (located either in the city core or in the larger urban region) and urban function (e.g. housing, transportation infrastructures, service and knowledge economic functions). Employing these criteria facilitated the selection of diverse large-scale urban development projects while still ensuring sufficient comparability.
In 2016, we performed 47 in-depth interviews with experts in urban and regional planning and large-scale strategic projects and infrastructure (i.e. academics and practitioners) about the formulation, implementation and development (1990s–2010s) of each project in each of the 9 selected urban regions. On average, each interviewee answered questions on 3.1 large-scale urban development projects. Three cases were subdivided into two cases because a clear differentiation between specific implementation stages was identified by the interviewees (expansion of the Barcelona airport, cases “bcn_airport80-90” and “bcn_airport00-16”; realisation of Lyon Part-Dieu, cases “lyo_partdieu70-90” and “lyo_partdieu00-16”; MediaCityUK, cases “man_salfordquays80-00” and “man_mediacityuk00-16”). Therefore, from the initial 35 cases, the final number of analysed cases in the lsUDPs dataset is 38.

    3.2 The data set lsUDPs: Data management and operationalisation
Interviews were fully transcribed and analysed through MAXQDA (version 12.3, VERBI GmbH, Berlin, Germany), and intercoder agreement was evaluated on a sample of nine interviews. We also compiled “synthetic case descriptions” (SCD) for each case (totalling more than 160 SCDs) to spot potential inconsistencies among interviewees’ accounts and to facilitate completion of the “calibration table” for each case (see below). An online expert survey distributed to the interviewees (response rate 78%) helped systematise the information collected during the interviews. We also consulted both academic and gray literature on the case studies to check for possible ambiguity and inconsistencies in the interview data, and to solve discrepancies between our assigned set membership scores and questionnaire values. Site visits were also carried out to retrieve additional information on the selected cases.
For each case (i.e. each of the 38 selected large-scale urban development projects), we operationalised each condition (i.e. STATE, PRIVATE, EVENTS, TRANSP, RESIST) and the outcome (CONCOR) in terms of sets, for subsequent application of Qualitative Comparative Analysis. This process is called “calibration”; we used a number of indicators for each condition to qualitatively assess each large-scale project across the conditions. The case-based qualitative assessment was then transformed into fuzzy-set membership values. Fuzzy-set membership values range from 0 to 1, and should be conceived as “fundamentally interpretative tools” that “operationalize theoretical concepts in a way that enhances the dialogue between ideas and evidence” (Ragin 2000:162, in “Fuzzy-set Social Science”. Chicago: University Press). We employed a four-value fuzzy-set scale (0, 0.33, 0.67, 1) to “quantify” into set membership scores the individual histories of cases retrieved from interview data. Only the condition TRANSP was calibrated as a crisp-set (0, 1).
The translation of qualitative case-based information into numerical fuzzy-set membership values was iteratively performed by populating a calibration table following standard practices recently emerged in QCA when dealing with qualitative (interview) data.

en: This report was prepared as one of the synthesis report chapters of the Hydro-CH2018 project of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). In earlier reports such as the CH2014-IMPACTS report (CH-Impacts 2014), the topic of mountain permafrost hydrology was not addressed. Here, we provide a baseline of the available knowledge of mountain permafrost in the Swiss Alps for future reference. We compile an overview of the current understanding of mountain permafrost in the Swiss Alps, its distribution and characteristics, observed and projected changes, and expected impacts on slope stability, infrastructure and hydrological aspects. We also briefly describe the measurement techniques and modelling approaches applied. The chapter closes with a summary of the most important open research questions. The literature cited mainly includes studies on mountain permafrost published in scientific journals and assessments of long-term observation data. We focus on permafrost hydrology interactions wherever information is available. However, systematic studies on permafrost hydrology in mountain areas are still limited.

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.**

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 2007 to 2012.

Specifically, for each cell within a nest, we noted whether the cell was alive or dead (survival), and whether it had a parasite or not (parasitism). Further, we calculated the parasitism rate as the number of cells with a parasite divided by the total number of cells. Concerning life-history traits, we calculated the total number of brood cells per nest as the total number of brood cells within a single nest, regardless of whether the larvae were dead, alive or parasitized. Finally, we used the probability that a femalehost emerged from a given cell as a proxy for the sex ratio. To do so, we first identified the sex of the individual hosts. Then, we noted it in a binary way to indicate whether the host was a female or not. We could identify the sex of all hatched hosts. Further, because CNBW first lay females and then males, on some occasions we could also identify the host sex in dead and parasitized cells, that is, when we had already identified the sex of the preceding and the following cells.

The data contains at the site level the species richness of cavity-nesting bees and wasps. It also contains site level estimates of the life-history traits and the performance traits.

We calculated species richness, abundance, and number of nests of the hatched hosts separately for bees and wasps. We calculated the abundance of hatched hosts as the number of brood cells where an individual emerged, i.e. the total number of brood cells minus the number of parasitized cells and the number of cells with no emergence for reasons other than parasitism.

 Background
Urban ecosystems are associated with socio-ecological conditions that can filter and promote taxa. However, the strength of the effect of ecological filtering on biodiversity could vary among biotic and abiotic factors. Here, we provide the data used to investigate the effects of habitat amount, temperature, and host-enemy biotic interactions in shaping communities of cavity-nesting bees and wasps (CNBW) and their natural enemies. To do so, we installed trap-nests in 80 sites distributed along urban intensity gradients in 5 European cities (Antwerp, Paris, Poznan, Tartu and Zurich). We quantified the species richness and abundance of CNBW hosts and their natural enemies, as well as two performance traits (survival and parasitism) and two life-history traits (sex ratio and number of offspring per nest for the hosts).
The dataset contains:
* The taxonomic metrics on CNBW
* The taxonomic metrics on the natural enemies from CNBW
* The life-history traits and performance traits

 Background information

The availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is considered to be a major factor limiting growth and productivity in terrestrial ecosystems globally. This project aimed to determine whether the growth stimulation documented in previous short‐term fertilisation trials persisted in a longer‐term study (12 years) in the treeline ecotone, and whether possible negative effects of nutrient addition offset the benefits of any growth stimulation.
Over the course of the 12 study years, NPK fertiliser corresponding to 15 or 30 kg N ha−1 a−1 was added annually to plots containing 30‐year‐old *Larix decidua* or 32‐year-old *Pinus uncinata* individuals with an understorey of mainly ericaceous dwarf shrubs. To quantify growth, annual shoot increments of trees and dwarf shrubs as well as radial growth increments of trees were measured. Nutrient concentrations in the soil were also measured and the foliar nutritional status of trees and dwarf shrubs was assessed.

 Experimental design

Over an elevation gradient of 140 m across the treeline afforestation site Stillberg, 22 locations were chosen that covered the whole range of microenvironmental conditions (*see* Nutrient addition experimental design.png). Half of the blocks included European larch (*L. decidua*) and the other half included mountain pine (*P. uncinata*). Within each block, three plantation quadrats were randomly selected as experimental plots and each plot was assigned to a control (no fertilisation) or to one of two fertiliser dose treatments (15 kg and 30 kg N ha−1 a−1). Treatments were assigned randomly but confined so that the location of fertilised plots within a block was not directly above control plots to avoid nutrient input from drainage. For details about the experiment, *see* Möhl et al (2019).

 Data description

The available datasets contain climate variables (2004-2016), nutrient isotope measurements (2010 & 2016), shrub growth measurements (2004-2016), soil parameter measurements and annual ring and shoot measurements (2004-2016). All data can be found here:

 DESCRIPTION
The dataset is used to run snowpack simulations with various forcing data at different resolutions with the Flexible Snow Model (FSM2oshd). A dynamical downscaling model (HICAR) and a semi-statistical downscaling approach (COSD) are used to downscale COSMO data to resolutions of 250 m, 100 m and 50 m. Simulations are run with the operational snow cover model and a model extension including wind- and gravity-induced snow redistribution (FSM2trans).
 Input Data
This paragraph describes the input data used to run simulations with FSM2trans
 HICAR
The HICAR input data is created by the High-resolution Intermediate Complexity Atmospheric Research model. The input data is available for different resolutions (250m, 100m and 50m) for a domain covering complex terrain in the Swiss Alps (Dischma)
 COSD
The COSD data was statistically downscaled within the OSHD framework to different resolutions (250m, 100m, 50m) for a domain covering complex terrain in the Swiss Alps (Dischma)
 Simulation files
For the Simulations, a landuse file and a namelist file with the parametrizations need to be supplied to the model
 simulation output
This simulation output that is used for the analysis of the study is provided.

en: High quality meteorological data are needed for long-term forest ecosystem research, particularly in the light of global change. The long-term data series published here comprises almost 20 years of measurements for two meteorological stations in Schänis in Switzerland where one station is located within a natural mixed forest stand (SCB) with European beech (_Fagus sylvatica_; 130-150 yrs), European silver fir (_Abies alba_; 130-150 yrs) and European ash (_Fraxinus excelsior_; 130-150 yrs) as dominant tree species. A second station is situated in the very vicinity outside of the forest (field station, SCF). The meteorological time series are presented in hourly time resolution of air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and wind speed. Schänis is part of the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme (LWF) established and maintained by the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL.

"cellPressure" is the water vapour pressure during the measurements. From this, in presence of ice, the temperature of the ice sample can be calculated which is given in the column "iceTemp". "dT" is the difference, or temperature offset, between sensor's reading and the ice samples temperature. The offset is due to the sensor being mounted away from the cooled spot of the sample were it experiences heating from warmer parts of the sample holder. The off-set is used to calibrate the temperature sensor and the resulting temperature during the experiments is given in the column "temperature". "relHum" is the relative humidity above (supercooled) liquid and "concBrine" is the concentration of a NaCl solution in mol/l in equilibrium with ice at the experimental temperature. "Area" is the integrated PE signal.

en: Laboratory experiments are presented on the phase change at the surface of sodium chloride – water mixtures at temperatures between 259 K and 240 K. High selectivity to the upper few nanometres of the frozen solution – air interface is achieved by using electron yield near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. We present the NEXAFS spectrum of the hydrohalite.

fr: Les installations photovoltaïques de haute altitude peuvent produire plus d'électricité par kilowatt de puissance installée et, selon l'emplacement et l'orientation, pendant le semestre d'hiver que des installations comparables en plaine. Ceci parce que les conditions de rayonnement sont meilleures (atmosphère plus fine, moins de brouillard) et parce que la lumière du soleil est réfléchie par la neige (ce qu'on appelle l'effet albédo). Ce jeu de données contient toutes les informations sur les grandes installations photovoltaïques prévues ou réalisées qui ont été notifiées à l'OFEN.

de: Hochalpine Photovoltaik-Anlagen können pro installierte Kilowatt Leistung und je nach Standort und Ausrichtung im Winterhalbjahr mehr Strom erzeugen als vergleichbare Anlagen im Flachland. Dies weil die Einstrahlungsverhältnisse besser sind (dünnere Atmosphäre, weniger Nebel) und weil das Sonnenlicht vom Schnee reflektiert wird (sogenannter Albedo-Effekt). Dieser Datensatz enthält alle Informationen zu den geplanten oder realisierten Photovoltaik-Grossanlagen, die dem BFE gemeldet wurden.

en: Depending on their location and orientation, high-alpine photovoltaic systems can generate more electricity per installed kilowatt of power in the winter months than comparable systems in the lowlands. This is because the radiation conditions are better (thinner atmosphere, less fog) and because the sunlight is reflected by the snow (known as the albedo effect). This dataset contains all information on planned or realised large-scale photovoltaic installations that have been reported to the SFOE.

it: A seconda della loro posizione e del loro orientamento, gli impianti fotovoltaici in alta montagna possono generare più elettricità per chilowatt di potenza installata nei mesi invernali rispetto a impianti analoghi in pianura. Questo perché le condizioni di irraggiamento sono migliori (atmosfera più sottile, meno nebbia) e perché la luce solare viene riflessa dalla neve (il cosiddetto effetto albedo). Questo set di dati contiene tutte le informazioni sugli impianti fotovoltaici di grandi dimensioni, pianificati o realizzati, che sono stati segnalati all'UFE.

Le stockage de gaz joue un rôle important dans la sécurité de l'approvisionnement en gaz en hiver, lorsque la consommation de gaz est la plus élevée. Sur une année, le gaz couvre environ 15% des besoins énergétiques de la Suisse. Environ la moitié de cette quantité est utilisée pour le chauffage des bâtiments. La Suisse est presque entièrement dépendante des importations de gaz. Seule une petite quantité de gaz (biogaz) est produite dans le pays. De même, la Suisse ne dispose pas de grandes capacités de stockage sur son territoire. Elle dépend de l'utilisation des stockages de gaz dans les pays voisins.

Le Conseil fédéral a obligé le secteur gazier à garantir des capacités de stockage dans les pays voisins (15% de la consommation annuelle suisse) et des options pour des livraisons de gaz supplémentaires pour l'hiver 2022/23. Fin août 2022, le secteur gazier a annoncé que cette tâche avait été accomplie avec succès.

Les niveaux de remplissage des stockages de gaz en Allemagne, en France, en Italie et en Autriche, ainsi que dans l'ensemble de l'UE, sont indiqués en pourcentage et en térawattheures (TWh). Les niveaux de stockage sont basés sur le pouvoir calorifique supérieur. Les niveaux de remplissage indiquent l'état des stockages de gaz de la veille jusqu'à 23 heures. Les données proviennent de sources publiques de l'UE.

La tendance indique l'évolution du niveau de remplissage. Elle est orientée à la hausse lorsque le niveau de remplissage a augmenté par rapport à la moyenne des 10 derniers jours.

Gas storage facilities play an important role in the security of gas supply in winter, when most gas is consumed. Over the year, Switzerland covers around 15% of its energy needs with gas. About half of this is consumed for heating buildings. Switzerland is almost entirely dependent on imports for gas. Only a little gas (biogas) is produced domestically. Likewise, Switzerland has no large domestic storage facilities of its own. It is dependent on the use of gas storage facilities in neighbouring countries.

The Federal Council has obliged the gas industry to secure storage capacities in neighbouring countries (15% of Switzerland's annual consumption) and options for additional gas supplies for the winter of 2022/23. At the end of August 2022, the gas industry reported the successful completion of this task.

The gas storage levels in Germany, France, Italy and Austria, as well as the entire EU, are given in percentages and in terawatt hours (TWh). The storage levels are based on the upper calorific value. The levels show the state of the gas storage facilities of the previous day until 11 pm. The data come from EU public sources.

The trend shows the development of the filling level. It points upwards when the level has increased compared to the average of the last 10 days.

Gasspeicher spielen eine wichtige Rolle für die Versorgungssicherheit mit Gas im Winter, wenn am meisten Gas verbraucht wird. Über das Jahr gesehen deckt die Schweiz rund 15% ihres Energiebedarfs mit Gas. Rund die Hälfte davon wird für die Beheizung von Gebäuden verbraucht. Die Schweiz ist beim Gas beinahe vollständig von Importen abhängig. Nur wenig Gas (Biogas) wird im Inland produziert. Ebenso verfügt die Schweiz über keine grossen eigenen Speicher im Inland. Sie ist auf die Nutzung der Gasspeicher in den Nachbarländern angewiesen.

Der Bundesrat hat die Gasbranche verpflichtet, für den Winter 2022/23 Speicherkapazitäten in den Nachbarländern (15% des schweizerischen Jahresverbrauch) und Optionen für zusätzliche Gaslieferungen zu sichern. Ende August 2022 meldete die Gasbranche den erfolgreichen Vollzug dieser Aufgabe.

Die Füllstände der Gasspeicher in Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien und Österreich sowie der gesamten EU sind in Prozent und in Terawattstunden (TWh) angegeben. Die Speicherstände basieren auf dem oberen Heizwert. Die Füllstände zeigen den Zustand der Gasspeicher des Vortags bis 23 Uhr. Die Daten stammen aus öffentlichen Quellen der EU.

Der Trend zeigt die Entwicklung des Füllstandes an. Er zeigt nach oben, wenn der Füllstand verglichen zum Durchschnitt der letzten 10 Tagen zugenommen hat.

Gli impianti di stoccaggio del gas svolgono un ruolo importante nella sicurezza della fornitura di gas in inverno, quando si consuma la maggior parte del gas. Nel corso dell'anno, la Svizzera copre circa il 15% del suo fabbisogno energetico con il gas. Circa la metà viene consumata per il riscaldamento degli edifici. La Svizzera dipende quasi interamente dalle importazioni di gas. Solo un po' di gas (biogas) viene prodotto a livello nazionale. Allo stesso modo, la Svizzera non dispone di grandi strutture di stoccaggio nazionali. Il Consiglio federale ha obbligato l'industria del gas a garantire capacità di stoccaggio nei Paesi limitrofi (15% del consumo annuale della Svizzera) e opzioni per ulteriori forniture di gas per l'inverno 2022/23. Alla fine di agosto 2022, l'industria del gas ha riferito di aver completato con successo questo compito.

I livelli di stoccaggio del gas in Germania, Francia, Italia e Austria, così come nell'intera UE, sono indicati in percentuale e in terawattora (TWh). I livelli di stoccaggio si basano sul potere calorifico superiore. I livelli mostrano lo stato degli impianti di stoccaggio del gas del giorno precedente fino alle 23.00. I dati provengono da fonti pubbliche dell'UE.

Il trend mostra lo sviluppo del livello di riempimento. Punta verso l'alto quando il livello è aumentato rispetto alla media degli ultimi 10 giorni.
