en: Countrywide vegetation height models (VHM) were generated for Switzerland based on Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery and the digital terrain model (DTM) swissALTI3D from the Swiss Federal Office of Topography swisstopo. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model was trained to estimate the maximum vegetation height at the spatial resolution of the Sentinel-2 pixel of 10 m. Vegetation heights from the spatially higher-resolved VHM Lidar NFI were used as reference data for the CNN training. Within the framework of the Swiss National Forest Inventory (NFI), the VHMs were modelled annually based on available Sentinel-2 imagery from May – September of the respective year. Further details on the creation of the VHM Sentinel NFI can be found in the paper Jiang et al. (2023, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.srs.2023.100099). Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data.

This dataset accompanies the publication "How Flat is Flat? Investigating the spatial variability of snow surface temperature and roughness on landfast sea ice using UAVs in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica".
The dataset consists of 1) processed orthomosaic of RGB values, snow topography (digital elevation model), and surface temperature, 2) topography-dependent irradiance map, and 3) point data of measured radiation and atmospheric parameters in the McMurdo Sound, October-December 2022. The data was collected as part of the New Zealand Marsden Fund Research Grant 21-VUW-103 "Can Snow Change the Fate of Antarctic Sea Ice?". Unprocessed data associated with this field campaign are published in 10.16904/envidat.633.
For the airborne measurements, we used a DJI Matrice 30T, a multi-rotor (quadcopter) UAV with self-heating batteries, suitable for operations in polar conditions (temperature range from -20 to +50 °C). The UAV has a wide-angle camera (12 megapixels) for RGB images and a thermal camera (Uncooled Vox Microbolometer, long-wave infrared spectrum 8-14 µm, 1.31 megapixels) for TIR images with an accuracy of ±2 °C or ± 2 %.
GNSS data includes high-precision location information (latitude, longitude, ellipsoidal height, receiver clock offset, and timestamps formatted in decimal hours and day-of-year notation).
WE calculated the distribution of received solar irradiance over the sea-ice surface using a terrain-corrected radiative transfer model and measured shortwave radiation components, accounting for surface roughness, aspect, slope, and solar position during the flight, while applying terrain shading and measured diffuse radiation.
The broadband radiation station data consists of shortwave (Sw) and longwave (Lw) radiation measurements (Kipp & Zonen CMP22 pyranometers and CGR4 pyrgeometers).
Surface temperature readings from cold, sediment, and hot targets were recorded using Apogee SI-121-SS sensors.
This dataset also contains automated weather station (AWS) data (air and snow surface temperatures, relative humidity, wind direction, and wind speed).

Long-term phenological data in alpine regions are often limited to a few locations and thus, little is known about climate-change induced plant phenological shifts above the treeline. Because plant growth initiation in seasonally snow-covered regions is largely driven by snowmelt timing and local temperature, it is essential to simultaneously track phenological shifts, snowmelt, and near-ground temperatures. In this study, we make use of ultrasonic snow height sensors installed at climate stations in the Swiss Alps to reveal phenological advance of grassland ecosystems and relate them to climatic changes over 25 years (1998 – 2023). When snow is absent, these snow height sensors additionally provide information on plant growth at a uniquely fine temporal scale. Daily temperatures and snow- / plant height values, annual phenological- and melt-out dates were derived from IMIS climate station data (doi.org/10.16904/envidat.406). We observed an advance of green-up by -2.4 days/decade coinciding with strong warming of up to +0.8°C/decade. Although the timing of melt-out has not changed significantly over the study period in this focal region, phenological responses to early melt-out years varied due to differing influences of photoperiodic and thermal constraints, which were not equally important across elevations and communities. Phenological shifts of alpine grasslands are thus likely to become even more pronounced if melt-out timing advances in the future as predicted.

The available lichen data consists of detection/nondetection data (1/0) of 373 tree-inhabiting (*corticolous*) lichen species from 416 plots surveyed 1-2 times. The lichen data were originally collected for the purpose of the Red List of epiphytic lichen species in Switzerland ([Scheidegger *et al.* 2002](https://www.bafu.admin.ch/bafu/de/home/themen/biodiversitaet/publikationen-studien/publikationen/rote-liste-gefaehrdete-arten-baum-erdbewohnende-flechten.html)), but updated to recent nomenclature for the purpose of this study.
This repository contains all the supporting data and R code for the paper:
von Hirschheydt, G., Kéry, M., Ekman, S., Stofer, S., Dietrich, M., Keller, C., Scheidegger, C. (2024) **Occupancy model reveals limited detectability of lichens in a standardised large-scale monitoring**. *Journal of Vegetation Science*.
Results and figures presented in the manuscript should be reproducible (with small differences in the latter digits due to stochasticity of the MCMC sampler) with the provided data and code.
The downloadable `.zip` folder has the following structure:
* `0_data/`
* `1_code/`
* `2_output/`
* `lichen_detectability.Rproj`
* `README.txt`
* `workflow.html`
- `workflow.Rmd`

The main folder and the three subordinate folders each have their own `README*.txt` file. These describe each available file in detail and should be consulted prior to using the data or running any code. The file `lichen_detectability.Rproj` stores the information about the R project. The user can open the project by clicking/double-clicking on this file which will automatically define the repository as working directory for the R session. If the user does not use RStudio/Posit, they may have to set the working directory manually to the stored location in the R files. The files `workflow.*` guide the user through the analysis (`1_code/*.R`) in the correct order so that they can:
- bundle the cleaned data into a data list readable for JAGS
- fit the multi-species occupancy model to the data and store the output
- assess the goodness-of-fit of the model to the data
- conduct a prior sensitivity analysis with 2 additional sets of priors
- extract the summary statistics reported in the manuscript and supplementary materials
- generate the figures shown in the manuscript and supplementary materials

We processed Sentinel-2 images from 2017 to 2023 for Switzerland with the Software FORCE (Frantz 2019). The respective parameter files can be found here: [Github](https://github.com/TLKoch/Sentinel-2_CH). All the images consist of several TB and therefore, access will be granted upon request.
The available bands (in spatial reference system EPSG 3035) are the following:
*Red, Green, Blue, NIR, Red-Edge-1, Red-Edge-2, Red-Edge-3, SWIR-1, SWIR-2*
The available indices (in spatial reference system EPSG 3035) are the following:
*CCI, CIRE, NDWI/NDMI, NDVI, EVI*
Further indices might be provided upon request.

 Processing
After downloading Level 1 data for the 14 Sentinel-2 tiles covering Switzerland (T31TGN, T32TLT, T32TMT, T32UMU, T32TNT, T32TPT, T31TGM, T32TLS, T32TMS, T32TNS, T32TPS, T32TLR, T32TMR, T32TNR) with an estimated cloud cover of less than 80 \%, we processed the data further with FORCE v. 3.7.8-12.
FORCE was used for radiometric correction, including atmospheric and topographic corrections using the digital elevation model from Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (EU-DEM v. 1.1), with a 25 m spatial resolution, a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) correction, and an adjacency effect correction. For cloud masking, the improved Fmask algorithm with buffers of 300 m for clouds, 90 m for shadows, and 30 m for snow were used (Frantz et al. 2018; Zhu et al. 2015). All bands were resampled using cubic convolution to 10 m spatial resolution. Shadows, low and poor illumination as well as saturation were masked out. The co-registration of all images was made with monthly composites of near-infrared Landsat Collection 2 images from 2014 to 2021 (Rengarajan et al. 2020;Rufin et al. 2021). With this the geometric consistency improved. The processed images are available in tiles of 30 by 30 km.

We used five different atmospheric turbulence datasets from four test sites, with these sites showing differences in their topographical characteristics. We chose one typical alpine test site with high topographical complexity (Weissfluhjoch, Davos, Switzerland) and three test sites consisting of one glacier site (Plaine Morte, Crans-Montana, Switzerland) and two polar sites (Greenland and Antarctica) representing a quasi-ideal site with homogeneous surface and quasi infinite fetch in all directions.
The turbulent sensible heat flux was calculated using the eddy-covariance method. Note that the sonic temperature fluctuations have been converted into virtual temperature fluctuations.
Three-dimensional wind velocity and air temperature were processed using a linear detrending (Rannik and Vesala, 1999) and a planar fit approach (Massmann and Lee, 2002) to rotate the coordinate system. Air temperature, relative humidity and air pressure from weather stations were used to calculate air properties, which are required for the data processing. The weather stations are located in the immediate vicinity of the turbulence tower and are affected by the same air masses. Turbulence data were averaged to 30-min intervals, whilst changing to a 15-min time interval marginally affects the heat fluxes at the Weissfluhjoch test site (Mott et al., 2011). Note that we define a negative sensible heat flux as being directed towards the snow surface and a positive sensible heat flux as being directed upwards.
The selected datasets and corresponding test sites are briefly introduced below:

Weissfluhjoch 2007 (WFJ07): A vertical set-up of two three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometers (CSAT3, Campbell Scientific, Inc.) was used at the traditional field site Weissfluhjoch (2540 m asl.) to measure three-dimensional wind velocity and air temperature at a frequency of 20 Hz. The sensors were mounted 3 m and 5 m above the ground and provided reliable data for 50 days between 11 February 2007 and 24 April 2007. Further information on the field campaign can be found in Stössel et al. (2010) and Mott et al. (2011).

Weissfluhjoch 2011-13 (WFJ11): Three-dimensional wind velocity and air temperature were recorded at 5 m above the ground at a frequency of 10 Hz with a three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer (CSAT3). The analysis was conducted for data obtained between February and March in the years 2011-13.

Plaine Morte 2007 (PM07): Two three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometers (CSAT3) were installed on a horizontal boom facing opposite directions (west-north-west vs. east-south-east) at 3.75 m above the ground to measure air temperature and three-dimensional wind velocity at 20 Hz. The data were collected at the almost flat field site on the Plaine Morte glacier (2750 m asl.) near Crans-Montana, Switzerland from February to April 2007. High quality meteorological data were additionally recorded and used to force the model. A detailed description about the set-up at the Plaine Morte glacier can be found in Huwald et al. (2009) and Bou-Zeid et al. (2010).

Greenland 2000 (GR00): High-frequency three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer measurements (CSAT3) were recorded at 50 Hz at the Summit Camp (72.3 °N, 38.8 °W, 3208 m asl.) located on the northern dome of the Greenland ice sheet. Data were collected at 1 m and 2 m above the snow surface during summer in 2000 and 2001. Additionally, meteorological measurements were obtained for the post processing and used to force the model. More information about the field campaign can be found in Cullen et al. (2007, 2014).

Antarctica 2000 (AA00): A set-up of three vertical three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometers (DA-600, Kaijo Denki) were installed at Mizuho Station (70°42' S, 44°20' E, 2230 m asl.) in Eastern Antarctica at 0.2, 1 and 25 m and recorded turbulence data at a frequency of 100 Hz from October to November 2000. Longwave and shortwave radiation, relative humidity, air and snow surface temperature were additionally measured and used to force the model. More information about the field campaign can be found in Nishimura and Nemoto (2005).

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).

en: Urbanization poses threats and opportunities for the biodiversity of wild bees. A main gap relates to the food preferences of wild bees in urban ecosystems, which usually harbour large numbers of plant species, particularly at the larval stage. This data sets describes the larval food of four wild bee species (i.e. Chelostoma florisomne, Hylaeus communis, Osmica bicornis and Osmia cornuta) and three genera (i.e. Chelostoma sp., Hylaeus sp, and Osmia sp.) common in urban areas in five different European cities (i.e. Antwerp, Paris, Poznan, Tartu and Zurich). This data results from a European-level study aimed at understanding the effects of urbanization on biodiversity across different cities and citiscapes, and a Swiss project aimed at understanding the effects of urban ecosystems in wild bee feeding behaviour. Wild bees were sampled using standardized trap-nests in 80 sites (32 in Zurich and 12 in each of the remaining cities), selected following a double gradient of available habitat at local and landscape scales. Larval pollen was obtained from the bee nests and identified using DNA metabarconding. The data provides the plant composition at the species or genus level of the different bee nests of the studied species in the studied sites of the five European cities. For Hylaeus communis, this is the first study in reporting larval food composition.

CALISHTO campaign was conducted between 12 October and 27 November 2021 to observe ice nucleating particles and aerosol properties at the Helmos Hellenic Atmospheric Aerosol and Climate Change station in Eastern Mediterranean, to understand cloud-aerosol interactions. To evaluate the spatial-temporal variabilities and characteristics of ice nucleating particles, a high-time resolution ice nucleation spectrometer was employed and different online aerosol property measurements were conducted in-situ, including particle number concentration, particle size distribution, particle fluorescent properties, and particle chemical composition. In addition, planetary boundary layer conditions at the observation site were determined by remote sensing techniques employed at a lower site.

 Methods

 Study site
The study area is situated within and nearby to Eigental nature reserve (47°27’36” to 47°29’06” N, 8°37’12” to 8°37’44” E, 461 to 507 m a.s.l.) in the vicinity of Zurich airport (Canton Zurich, Switzerland). Mean annual precipitation and temperature is 903 ± 136 mm and 9.14°C ± 0.50°C (mean ± SD for 2007-2017 (*MeteoSchweiz 2018*)). In 1967, the Eigental nature reserve was established to protect small and isolated remnants of species-rich, semi-natural grasslands (roughly 12 ha), which were embedded in an otherwise intensively managed landscape. It is characterized by oligo- to mesotrophic Molinion (semi-wet, matrix species *Molinia caerulea*) and Mesobromion (semi-dry, matrix species *Bromus erectus*) meadows (*Delarze et al. 2015*), reflecting small-scale habitat heterogeneity, mainly due to site-specific groundwater levels and slope inclination. As in most Central European grasslands, management is necessary to prevent shrub and tree invasions as well as to secure low levels of available soil nutrients and thus to maintain these species-rich habitats ([*Poschlod and WallisDeVries 2002*](https://doi.org/10.1016/S0006-3207(01)00201-4)).
In 1990, the government of the Canton Zurich decided to enlarge the Eigental nature reserve as a counter measure against degradation and biodiversity loss in semi-natural grasslands due to overutilization and the excessive input of nutrients (mostly nitrogen). Eleven patches of adjacent intensively managed grassland (in total roughly 20 ha) were targeted to be transformed into semi-natural grasslands. As a first restoration measure, fertilization was ceased, and biomass harvested three times to remove excessive soil nutrients from the original system and thus benefit plant species with low competitive ability on the long run. In 1995, the restoration efforts were increased and a large-scale experiment comprising three restoration measures with increasing intervention intensities was implemented:

- **Harvest only**: Initial restoration measures were continued with mowing and removing of the aboveground biomass two times a year (early summer and autumn).
- **Topsoil**: Removal of topsoil, depending on the thickness of the A horizon the upper 10 to 20 cm, in four randomly selected areas within the eleven patches in late autumn 1995. The size of the restoration area depended on individual patch size (2700 to 7000 m2).
- **Topsoil + Propagules**: Plant propagules were added on half of the area where topsoil was removed via application of fresh, seed-containing hay and hand-collected propagules of target species originating from semi-dry and semi-wet species-rich grasslands with local and regional provenance (within radius of 7 to 30 km) (1995, 1996, 1997).

Management of *Topsoil* and *Topsoil + Propagules* started five years after treatment implementation and included yearly mowing and removing of aboveground biomass (late summer or early autumn). The experiment was complemented with intensively managed grassland sites that share the same agricultural history as the restored sites (**Initial**; swards dominated by *Lolium perenne*, *L. multiflorum* and *Trifolium repens*): mowing and subsequent fertilizing (manure) up to five times a year, as well as different tillage regimes. Finally, sites were selected in target semi-dry and semi-wet grasslands (**Target**) located within the Eigental nature reserve and another nature reserve nearby (Altläufe der Glatt; 47°28’29” to 47°27’41” N, 8°31’56” to 8°32’26” E, 418 to 420 m a.s.l.). The selected target sites are mown and aboveground biomass removed once a year in late summer or early autumn. For each of the five treatments, we selected eleven plots (5 m × 5 m) spread across the sites. Altogether, the experiment included 55 plots.

 Arthropod sampling
Aboveground arthropods were sampled using suction sampling on four consecutive days in early July 2017 before the grasslands were mown. Arthropods were sampled in two locations on each 5 m × 5 m plot, once in the south-western and once in the north-eastern corner to account for possible spatial heterogeneity within the plots. Arthropods were sorted to order or lower taxonomic levels and individuals were identified to species level. We focused on three groups (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha, Hemiptera: Heteroptera, Orthoptera),

 Functional traits
We used two sets of functional traits in this study.

**Morphometric traits**:
Body volume, body shape, hind femur shape, hind/front leg ratio, wing length, leg length, antenna length and eye width. We used trait measurements from [*Simons et al. (2016)*](http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/15-0616.1) and [*Neff et al. (2019)*](https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-019-00872-1) and complemented them with measurements on study specimens. These measurements were conducted using a high-resolution measuring stereo microscope (Leica DVM6, Leica Microsystems) including automated high-resolution photo stacking with the software Leica Application Suite X (LAS X, © 2018 Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH) and Leica Map Premium (Leica Microsystems, © 1996-2017 Digital Surf) at WSL Birmensdorf. The eight morphometric traits were calculated from direct measurements of body parts on specimens of all sampled species. From each species, we measured at least one female and one male specimen. Additionally, for species that show wing dimorphism, we included the different wing morphs and weighted them by their prevalence reported in literature. For few species, of which not all wing morphs were available for measurements (10 cases), we estimated relative wing length from congeneric species or from the literature.

**Life-history traits**
Based on an existing data set collected by [*Gossner et al. (2015)*](http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/14-2159.1). We included traits describing different life-history characteristics of herbivore insect species, namely: feeding specialization, feeding tissue, hibernation stage and number of generations per year, which are related to insect species’ vulnerability to changes in plant community composition, microhabitat use and disturbance tolerance. To represent potential changes in habitat moisture with abandonment of intensive land use (e.g., change in ground-water level), we also included two traits related to preferred habitat moisture of the study species: moisture preference, describing species’ optimum habitat moisture, and moisture range, which describes the species’ range of preferable moisture conditions.

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.

Data from: Does one model fit all? Patterns of beech mortality in natural forests of three European regions.
Ecological Applications http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.h4s6t

Forest inventory data of beech for the development of individual-tree mortality models from strict forests reserves in Switzerland, Germany and Ukraine.

The data package provides the files
CH_reduced: inventory data of the reduced dataset from Switzerland that was used to assess the influence of additional environmental and stand characteristics on beech mortality
CH: inventory data from strict forest reserves in Switzerland
DE: inventory data from strict forest reserves in Germany
UA: inventory data from a primeval beech forest in Ukraine

A set of three consecutive inventories was used to generate records for the calibration of mortality models based on trees that were alive in the first and second inventory and either dead or alive in the third inventory.
Diameter at breast height: dbh (mm)
Annual relative basal area increment: relBAI (), calculated based on the first and the second dbh measurement as the compound annual growth rate of the trees basal area (Bigler and Bugmann 2004)

Additional environmental and stand characteristics were derived for the reduced Swiss dataset.
Note the varying seasonal level of the covariates considering the entire year, the growing season from April to September (G) and the winter month January to March (W).
All climatic covariates were calculated for both the ‘growth’ (2) and the ‘mortality’ period (3). The stand covariates were derived for the second inventory of each record (2).

The datasets comprise nearly 19’000 trees of European beech (_Fagus sylvatica_ L.) from unmanaged forests in Switzerland, Germany / Lower Saxony and Ukraine. Tree death was modelled as a function of size and growth, i.e., stem diameter (DBH) and relative basal area increment (relBAI). To explain the spatial and temporal variability in mortality patterns, we considered a large set of environmental and stand characteristics.

 Inventory data
The strict forest reserves in Switzerland and Germany had been established in the period of 1961-1975 and 1971-1974, respectively. Every reserve included up to 10 permanent plots ranging from 0.09 to 1.8 ha in size, with slightly irregular re-measurement intervals. Permanent plots with pure or mixed beech stands were selected from the reserves of both networks. Reserves with considerable wind disturbance during the monitored intervals were excluded from the analysis. In addition to data from the Swiss and German reserves, data from a 10 ha plot in the primeval beech forest Uholka in Western Ukraine including three remeasurements were used. The inventory data provide diameter measurements at breast height (dbh) for revisited trees with a diameter of more than 4, 7 and 6 cm for Switzerland, Germany and Ukraine, respectively.

 Mortality predictors
A set of three consecutive inventories was used to generate records for the calibration of mortality models based on trees that were alive in the first and second inventory and either dead or alive in the third inventory. As an explanatory variable, the annual relative basal area increment (relBAI) was calculated based on the first and the second dbh measurement as the compound annual growth rate of the trees basal area. Tree dbh in the second inventory was used in addition to relBAI to model tree status (alive or dead) of the third inventory.

To increase the generality of the mortality models, we selected environmental variables that are known to have a considerable influence on growth and mortality of beech. We emphasized the effects of water availability using a large set of drought characteristics that were calculated based on the local site water balance. We also related beech mortality to soil pH, temperature, precipitation and growing degree-days. Additionally, we considered stand characteristics that reflect the development stage, competition and structure of the forests.

 Methods

**Sampling**
We sampled the Lilliehöök fjord on the west coast of Spitsbergen (Svalbard, Norway) over 3 days from 3 to 5 of August 2021. Samples were taken from the glacier front up to the fjord mouth of the Krossfjorden system, around 30 km long, after the Lilliehöök fjord merged with the mouth of Möller fjord. The fjord’s maximum depth has been recorded at 373 m (Svendsen et al. 2002) and has no sill at its entrance, thereby facilitating water exchange with the open ocean of the West Spitsbergen Current. We used a research vessel to sample 5 sites for a total of 15 samples, sampling 3 depths per site (3-m, chlorophyll a maximum and 85-m, unless sea floor was shallower). Shallow and intermediate samples between 3-m and 12-m represent ~35-L of water filtered in-situ using long tubing and a peristaltic pump, and all other deeper samples were taken from a total of 3 Niskin bottles (General Oceanics), representing 22-L of water sampled per sample. Water was filtered through a VigiDNA filtration capsule (SPYGEN) with a 0.20-µm pore size using an Athena peristaltic pump (Proactive Environmental Products, Bradenton, Florida) with a flow rate of ~1-L/min. Each sample was handled with single use tubing and gloves.

**Molecular**
To perform the amplification, we used two sets of primers: teleo (forward: ACACCGCCCGTCACTCT, reverse: CTTCCGGTACACTTACCATG; Valentini et al. 2016) and the universal eukaryotic 1389F/1510R primer pair, amplifying the V9-18S rDNA gene (Amaral-Zettler et al. 2009) (forward: TTGTACACACCGCCC, reverse: CCTTCYGCAGGTTCACCTAC).

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.

en: Output explanation

en:
This dataset contains eddy-covariance measurements in the ablation period of 2014-2016. Measurements were taken from two turbulence towers over a long-lasting snow patch, which are 5 m apart from each other (2014 and 2015). The turbulence towers were equipped with two YOUNG ultrasonic anemometers mounted 0.7 m (in 2014) and 3.3 m (in 2015) above snow-free ground, two ultrasonic anemometers (CSAT3, Campbell Scientific, Inc.) mounted at 2.6 m (in 2014) and 2.2 m (in 2015) above snow-free ground and one anemometer (DA-600, Kaijo Denki) mounted at 0.3 m above snow surface.

The measurement setup changed in 2016 and includes a measurement above the snow-free ground in upwind direction (Swiss coordinates: 790191/176689). The measurement tower is equipped with one ultrasonic anemometer (CSAT3, Campbell Scientific, Inc.) in 3.3 m above the snow-free ground. Additionally, one measurement tower is installed above the long-Lasting snow patch and equipped with the same setup as 2015.

Turbulence data were sampled at a frequency of 20 Hz. The processing of the data to quality controlled fluxes has been done with the Biomicrometeorology flux software (Thomas et al., 2009). The program applies plausibility tests and a despiking test after Vickers and Mahrt (1997) on the measured data. The routine further applies a time-lag correction and considers the deployment (e.g. the sonic azimuth). A frequency response correction (Moore, 1986) is done and a three-dimensional rotation is performed. Finally, quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) flags after Foken et al., (2004) are issued and fast Fourier transform power and co-spectra are calculated. The change in snow height is considered in the post-processing for every measurement day. The turbulence data were averaged to 30 minute intervals.

Gas exchange was measured on control, irrigated and irrigation-stop trees at the irrigation experiment Pfynwald, during the years 2013, 2014, 2016-2020. The measurement campaigns served different purposes, resulting in a large dataset containing survey data, CO2 response curves of photosynthesis, light response curves of photosynthesis, and fluorescence measurements. Measurements were done with LiCor 6400 and LiCor 6800 instruments. Until 2016, measurements were done on excised branches or branches lower in the canopy. From 2016 onwards, measurements were done in the top of the canopy using fixed installed scaffolds.
All metadata can be found in the attached documents.
