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.

These datasets and script document the analyses and the plot generation for the article **“Trends in background mortality in unmanaged forests across Europe over the last century”**.
We used a comprehensive network of permanent plots with repeated censuses spanning from 1936 to 2020 in 299 unmanaged forest reserves across Europe. The database includes 1.5 million tree records over successive censuses covering a total sampled area of 853.7 ha.

It consists of the following files:

- **Mortality_script.Rmd**: R markdown document to reproduce the analysis and the plot generation.
- **plot_level.RDS**: This dataset contains annual mortality rate values for each permanent plot at each census, of plots with at least three censuses. This dataset is used to calculate the weighted mean annual background mortality rates by forest types, and the series of models to study the trends of annual mortality rates, and then to create Figure 1 and Figure 2.
- **tree_level.RDS**: This dataset contains tree census data for each permanent plot at each census, of plots with at least two censuses. This dataset is used to model species-specific size-dependent mortality probabilities of the studied tree species, and then to create Figure 3.

A rule-based algorithm [(Schwieder et al., 2022)](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2021.112795) was used to produce annual maps for 2018–2021 of grassland-management events, i.e. mowing and/or grazing, for Switzerland using Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 satellite time series. All satellite images were processed with the [FORCE](https://force-eo.readthedocs.io) framework.

The resulting maps provide information on the number and timing of grassland-management events at a spatial resolution of 10 m × 10 m for the whole of Switzerland. For the final maps, permanent grasslands were masked using a variety of land-use layers, according to [Huber et al. (2022)](https://doi.org/10.1002/rse2.298) but replacing the crop mask with the agricultural-use data from the cantons.

We assessed the detection of management events based on independent reference data, which we acquired from daily time series of publicly available webcams that are widely distributed across Switzerland. We further tested the ecological relevance of the generated intensity measures in relation to nationwide biodiversity data (see [Weber et al., 2023](https://doi.org/10.1002/rse2.372)).

The webcam-based reference data used for verification was subsequently added on 14.02.2024.

The code is a flow solver based on the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique coupled with a Lagrangian Stochastic Model (LSM). The interaction of snow particles with the bed is modeled with statistical and physically-based models for aerodynamic entrainment, rebound and splash, following the works of Groot Zwaaftink et al. (2014), Comola and Lehning (2017) and Sharma et al. (2018). This algorithm was also used by Sigmund et al. (2021) to model snow sublimation.

en:
The main datasets available are 4 nationwide **Digital Surface Models (DSMs)** and corresponding **Vegetation Height Models (VHMs)** with a spatial resolution of 1 m.
The Vegetation Height Models are calculated by subtraction of a Digital Terrain Model (swissAlti3d version 2017, swisstopo) from the generated DSMs. DSMs were derived by image matching of **scanned historical images** (panchromatic 8-bit) acquired with a RC10 frame camera, in the context of the swisswide image acquisition campaigns of swisstopo.
Nationwide products could be generated for the **four epochs**
 1979-1985 / 1985-1991 / 1990-1998 / 1998-2006.
Additional information about successful image matching vs. interpolation of pixels and about the year of image acquisition are available in the corresponding files (**matched_area_xxxx_xxxx_binay.tif** and **meta_acquisition_year_xxxx_xxxx.json**, respectively).
To separate vegetation from non-vegetation areas a mask derived from a combination of information of the Topographic landscape model - TLM (swisstopo) and a NDVI layer was used and is supplied as **"TLM_mask.tif"**
Due to the occurrence of unrealistic vegetation height values caused by the failure of the image matching process (mainly overexposed images and clouds or very steep rocky terrain), pixel values > 60 m were set to NoData and < 0 m to 0.
All datasets are available in the Reference System **LV95 (EPSG: 2056) LN02 (EPSG: 5728)** and share the common **extent definition** (xmin ymin xmax ymax): 2480000 1070000 2840000 1300000

 Overview

The CH2014-Impacts initiative is a concerted national effort to describe impacts of climate change in Switzerland quantitatively, drawing on the scientific resources available in Switzerland today. The initiative links the recently developed Swiss Climate Change Scenarios CH2011 with an evolving base of quantitative impact models. The use of a common climate data set across disciplines and research groups sets a high standard of consistency and comparability of results. Impact studies explore the wide range of climatic changes in temperature and precipitation projected in CH2011 for the 21st century, which vary with the assumed global level of greenhouse gases, the time horizon, the underlying climate model, and the geographical region within Switzerland. The differences among climate projections are considered using three greenhouse gas scenarios, three future time periods in the 21st century, and three climate uncertainty levels (Figure 1). Impacts are shown with respect to the reference period 1980-2009 of CH2011, and add to any impacts that have already emerged as a result of earlier climate change.

 Experimental Setup

Future snow cover changes are simulated with the physics-based model Alpine3D (Lehning et al., 2006). It is applied to two regions: The canton of Graubünden and the Aare catchment. These domains are modeled with a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with a resolution of 200 m × 200 m. This defines the simulation grid that has to be filled with land cover data and downscaled meteorological input data for each cell for the time period of interest at hourly resolution. The reference data set consists of automatic weather station data. All meteorological input parameters are spatially interpolated to the simulation grid. The reference period comprises only thirteen years (1999–2012), because the number of available high elevation weather stations for earlier times is not sufficient to achieve unbiased distribution of the observations with elevation. The model uses projected temperature and precipitation changes for all greenhouse gas scenarios (A1B, A2, and RCP3PD) and CH2011 time periods (2035, 2060, and 2085).

 Data

Snow cover changes are projected to be relatively small in the near term (2035) (Figure 5.1 top), in particular at higher elevations above 2000 m asl. As shown by Bavay et al. (2013) the spread in projected snow cover for this period is greater between different climate model chains (Chapter 3) than between the reference period and the model chain exhibiting the most moderate change. In the 2085 period much larger changes with the potential to fundamentally transform the snow dominated alpine area become apparent (Figure 5.1 bottom). These changes include a shortening of the snow season by 5–9 weeks for the A1B scenario. This is roughly equivalent to an elevation shift of 400–800 m. The slight increase of winter precipitation and therefore snow fall projected in the CH2011 scenarios (with high associated uncertainty) can no longer compensate for the effect of increasing winter temperatures even at high elevations. In terms of Snow Water Equivalents (SWE), the projected reduction is up to two thirds toward the end of the century (2085). A continuous snow cover will be restricted to a shorter time period and/or to regions at increasingly high elevation. In Bern, for example, the number of days per year with at least 5 cm snow depth will decrease by 90% from now 20 days to only 2 days on average.

This avalanche activity data set was analysed and results published by Schweizer et al. (2020). They found that the
number of avalanches per day strongly increased with increasing danger level, but avalanche size was poorly related to avalanche danger level.

The data are provided in two files: the first includes the avalanche data (13,918 records); the second includes the avalanche activity per day (3533 records).

Title: Closer to causality: How effective is spatial planning in governing built-up land expansion in Fujian Province, China?

Research objective: The Major Function Oriented Zone (MFOZ), the first strategic spatial plan in China, is developed to achieve a coordinated regional development, through spatial regulation and zoning of development. The MFOZ he MFOZ divided land into four major function-oriented zones: The development-optimized zone, the development-prioritised zone, the development-restricted zone, and the development-prohibited zone. We used propensity score marching to evaluate the effect of the MFOZ on built-up land expansion in Fujian Province over three time intervals (2013–2015, 2013–2018 and 2013–2020).

Method: we used the propensity score matching to compare the changes in the amount of built-up land in the towns of the development-prioritised zone with the matched towns of the development-restricted zone. Additionally, we used three evaluation intervals (2013–2015, 2013–2018 and 2013–2020) to evaluate temporal variation in the causal effect of the MFOZ on built-up land expansion.

Both data sets are monthly time series from 1980 to 2018 at 30 arcsec. and have the unit of kg m-2 month-1. SPEI is a more reliable measure of drought than SPI as it additionally considers the effect of potential evapotranspiration. Potential evapotranspiration (pet) is the amount of water per area per time that can evaporate at the soil surface or be transpired by plants in absence of water supply limitations. SPEI effectively estimates for a given location how the climatic water balance, i.e., the difference between precipitation rate (pr) and potential evapotranspiration (pet), relates to the long-term mean. Here, pet was calculated with the Penman-Montheith approach, assuming surface conductance of a reference crop of 12 cm height following the definition of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), originating from CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ database (https://www.doi.org/10.16904/envidat.332). To obtain global time series of SPEI, in each pixel the frequency distribution of water balance estimates (pr-pet) is approximated with a log-logistic probability distribution function. We calculate monthly SPEI using a 12-month memory and approximate the parameters of the log-logistic probability distribution based on the time series from 1980-2018. Such a 12-month time window is suitable to capture long-term drought events that are long enough to impose substantial impacts on agriculture, hydrology, and ecosystems while ones at shorter time scales would be more appropriate to detect short-term drought. For each month, SPEI is calculated considering the respective water-balance value and the values of the eleven preceding months. Here we use SPEI-12 in December to represent the overall water-balance condition of the respective year. The resulting SPEI data has a horizontal resolution of 130 arcsec (~1km). The calculation of SPI and SPEI is done in R with the package SPEI (https://www.doi.org/10.32614/CRAN.package.SPEI).

en: Although much of the endemic biodiversity of Madagascar can be attributed to its isolation as an island in the Indian Ocean, the high rates of speciation throughout its geologic history suggest an influence of local-scale landscape dynamics. The topographic evolution of Madagascar is dominated by the formation of high-relief continental rift escarpment and we argue that the erosion and landward retreat of this topography creates habitat heterogeneity that has served as a speciation pump for the island. The highest plant richness is found along the escarpment and is characterized by steady diversification rates over the last 45 Ma. Modeled landscape evolution by escarpment retreat demonstrates opportunities for allopatric speciation by transient habitat fragmentation through multiple mechanisms, including catchment expansion, isolation of highland remnants and formation of topographic and river barriers The segregation of floral phylogenetic turnover parallel to the escarpment is consistent with these mechanisms and indicates the importance of erosion-driven landscape dynamics on speciation.

Dominant tree species map of Switzerland
We created a tree species map of Switzerland for the dominant tree species in the forested areas. The spatial resolution of the map is 10 m and the coordinate system is ETRS89-extended / LAEA Europe (EPSG 3035). The map comprises Sentinel-2 index time series from the year 2020, a digital elevation model and species reference data from the Swiss National Forest Inventory. The map is available as raster (.tif) or vector dataset (.gpkg).
**Access will be granted upon request.**
In total, the following 15 species were mapped:
*Abies alba*, *Acer pseudoplatanus*, *Alnus glutinosa*, *Alnus incana*, *Betula pendula*, *Castanea sativa*, *Fagus sylvatica*, *Fraxinus excelsior*, *Picea abies*, *Pinus cembra*, *Pinus mugo arborea*, *Pinus sylvestris*, *Quercus petraea*, *Quercus robur*, *Sorbus aucuparia*.

 Approach

 Data
- Swiss National Forest Inventory Data (stand species with > 60 % dominance in upper canopy; on at least more than 9 plots dominant)
- Sentinel-2 time series (2020, Indices: CCI, CIRE, NDMI, EVI, NDVI)
- Digital elevation model (DEM) (swissalti3d, 5 m)
- Biogeographical regions (Federal Office for the Environment FOEN)
- Forest mask 2017 (Approach: Waser et al., 2015)

 Modeling approach
We identified the most meaningful variables that led to separation of the respective groups by using random forest models with a forward feature selection (Meyer et al., 2018; Ververidis & Kotropoulos, 2005). In this approach, the final random forest model is solely built from the selected meaningful variables. By identifying meaningful variables, we can determine which variables might influence the grouping. Further, to avoid overfitting and overly optimistic results, we applied 10-fold spatial cross-validation and put all pixels from a plot in the same spatial fold.
The modeling was realized using the CAST package in R (Meyer et al., 2022), based on the well-known caret package (Kuhn, 2022). We used the ranger package in R (Wright & Ziegler, 2017) to implement the random forest models, due to its short computation time.

 Training data for modeling
- 295 Sentinel-2, DEM & Biogeographical variables
- 10525 tree species pixels

14. CCI of 2020.11.02
15. CIRE of 2020.06.10

 Overall Accuracy of final model
- 0.759

 Nationwide prediction
- Predicted throughout forest mask 2017 (Approach: Waser et al., 2015)
- Not applied on incomplete Sentinel-2 time series (own category in final map: incomplete_ts)
- Applied the Area of Applicability (Meyer 2022) to sort out pixels outside of the feature space; basically where the model had not the same values for pixels as in the available training data

 *Be aware that the map is only validated with the training data itself, an independent validation with other data sources remains missing*

en: Data link

en:
This dataset provides 50 years of seasonal synthetic hourly time series for five meteorological variables: incoming shortwave radiation, total precipitation, relative humidity, 2-meter air temperature and wind speed.

The data are generated from observational records (1990–present) from nine MeteoSwiss stations (ABO, BAS, BER, LUG, PUY, SCU, SIO, STG, WFJ). We use a sampling approach that preserves both the temporal structure and inter-variable dependencies. Specifically, the time series are constructed by drawing 7-day blocks from historical observations, ensuring realistic short-term variability and maintaining the physical coherence between variables.

The synthetic sequences are constrained to follow daily temperature change trajectories corresponding to three future climate scenarios for the period 2040–2070: RCP2.6, RCP8.5 and RCP0: a counterfactual scenario with no long-term warming trend, but with temperature variability consistent with the RCP2.6 one.
The temperature constraints are derived from projections downscaled at the staiton level, available at: https://www.envidat.ch/#/metadata/climate-change-scenarios-at-hourly-resolution

format: HTML

en: Site description

en:
The Swiss FluxNet Site Lägeren is a managed mixed deciduous mountain forest located on the steep Lägeren mountain (NW of Zurich, Swiss Plateau). The forest is highly diverse, dominated by beech, but also including ash, maple, spruce and fir trees. Eddy covariance flux measurements were started in April 2004. The site was part of the international CarboEurope IP network and the National Air Pollution Monitoring Network (NABEL). In addition to Swiss FluxNet, the site is part of the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research (LWF) of WSL and the biological drought and growth indicator network (TreeNet) of WSL.

Measurements

- Ecosystem flux measurements of CO2, H2O vapour are performed with the eddy-covariance method. This method is based on measurements of trace gas mixing ratios, using infrared gas analyzers (for CO2, H2O vapor), combined with wind speed and wind direction measurements, using 3D sonic anemometers. To resolve the short-term turbulent fluctuations in the atmosphere, very fast measurements are needed: we measure at 10-20 Hz, i.e., 10-20 times per second. To assess the energy budget of each ecosystem, also radiation sensors and soil climate profiles are installed at the site.
- Sub-canopy eddy fluxes (CO2, H2O), soil respiration campaigns
- Continuous CO2 profile measurements.
- Auxiliary micrometeorology and soil climate measurements.

Data availability

All data are available from the European Fluxes Database Cluster, but are also part of Fluxnet2015 dataset.

Mitochondrial tree based on the 12s sequences obtained for altantic fish.
This data represent the maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree allowing to assess 1) the clustering of the different sequences generated in
this study and their closest sequences recovered through a MegaBLAST on GenBank, 2) the robustness of the clades and 3) the
phylogenetic dissimilarities through the branch length of the tree among the different sequences. This tree was built with IQtree2
using the best substitution model found by modelFinder. The robustness of the node was evaluated using 1000 ultra-fast bootstrap
(node information indicated on the right of the /) and SH-aLRT procedures (node information indicated on the left of the /), using a hillclimbing nearest neighbor interchange (NNI) search to reduce the risk of overestimating branch supports with ultra-fast Bootstrap
caused by too severe model violations.

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.

 Study Aim

We collected these data to alternatively train and validate high resolution (~ 90 m) Species Distribution Models (SDMs) and Species Abundance Models (SAMs) for _Betula nana_ L. (dwarf birch, Betulaceae) and _Salix glauca_ L. (grey willow, Salicaceae) in Southwest Greenland to assess how well such models can predict local-scale patterns.

 Data Description

Individual (presence-absence, abundance, maximum vegetative height) and community (species composition, maximum canopy height) shrub data for two fjords near Nuuk, Southwest Greenland. Also provided are corresponding downscaled climate data as well as calculated topographic and terrain wetness indicator variables.

 Methods

 Field survey in Nuup Kangerlua

We conducted a stratified systematic plant survey along the length of Nuup Kangerlua (NK) fjord in Soutwesth Greenland (Fig. 1 in Chardon et al. 2022; following Nabe-Nielsen et al., 2017). At five distinct sites, we sampled along elevational gradients to collect data on presences, absences, abundance, and species composition of all woody species using a 0.7 x 0.7 m pin-point frame (Fig. 1e in Chardon et al. 2022). For model training, we converted these pin-point data to percent cover estimates based on the number of pins dropped (n = 25 per plot) and averaged them across the 119 spatio-climatic grids (see next section) corresponding to the plot locations (for details see Appendix S2 in Chardon et al. 2022).

 Field survey in Kangerluarsunnguaq

We conducted a random stratified plant survey in Kangerluarsunnguaq (K) fjord in Southwest Greenland. We used a preliminary Species Abundance Model trained with summed pin counts of _Betula nana_ in NK fjord (see Fig. S1.3 in Chardon et al. 2022) to stratify the ~ 27 x 17 km fjord landscape into low, medium, and high abundances classes. We randomly selected 90 x 90 m spatio-climatic grids to survey in each class for a total of 200 grids, ensuring that they were accessible by foot or boat (for details see Appendix S2 in Chardon et al. 2022). Within each grid, we sampled within three 1 m2 quadrats arranged in a randomly rotated equilateral triangle centered on the mid-point of the cell. We used a gridded sampling quadrat with 1% delineations (Fig. 1h in Chardon et al. 2022) to record woody species presences, absences, and composition, estimated percent cover, and measured maximum shrub species vegetatitve height. At every plot, we also visually scanned the area in a 20 m radius from the plot and recorded the presence of any additional shrub species to estimate grid-level species richness. As in NK fjord, we averaged these data at the grid level (for details see Appendix S2 in Chardon et al. 2022).

 Biotic variables

We calculated biotic microscale variables from the plant survey data collected in NK and K fjords. We calculated shrub species richness, diversity, and competition (i.e. sum of non-B. nana or non-S. glauca pin hits or percent cover). In K fjord, we also calculated canopy height as the community weighted mean (by abundance) of maximum vegetative shrub height.

 Climate variables

We computed high resolution temperature, precipitation, and insolation for local scale data for the study area by statistically downscaling climate time series (1982 - 2013) from the monthly CHELSA data (Karger et al. 2017). We downscaled these data from 30 arc sec (~ 400 m at the latitude of our study) to our target grid size of ~ 90 m with geographic weighted regression and using the MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) v. 1 (Howat et al., 2014, 2015). We then calculated 30-year averages of the climate parameters: average summer (June – August) maximum temperature, yearly maximum temperature, yearly minimum temperature, temperature continentality (yearly max. - min. temperatures), cumulative Spring (March – May) precipitation, cumulative summer precipitation, and average summer incident solar radiation (henceforth, insolation) (for calculation details see Appendices S2, S3 in Chardon et al. 2022 and Appendix S2 in von Oppen et al. 2021).

 Topography and terrain wetness indicator variables

We calculated several topographic and terrain wetness indices at a local scale. We derived slope, aspect, and the SAGA wetness index (hereafter TWI; Boehner et al., 2002; Boehner and Selige, 2006) from the GIMP DEM. TWI is a measure of how ‘wet’ an area is, based on water drainage from the surrounding landscape. We also calculated the tasseled cap wetness component (hereafter TCW, Crist and Cicone 1984) from satellite images (for details see Appendices S2, S3 in Chardon et al. 2022) as an alternative measure of wetness.

This work presents the first extensive study of climate change impacts on rivers temperature in Switzerland. Results show that even for low emissions scenarios, water temperature increase will lead to adverse effect for both ecosystems and socioeconomic sectors (such as nuclear plant cooling) throughout the 21st century. For high emissions scenarios, the effect will be worsen. This study also shows that water warming in summer will be more important in Alpine regions than in lowlands.

Description: Fish environmental DNA data set collected in 2021 in the Calanques National Park
The eDNA samples were collected in 2021 in two locations (Moyades, M−FPA and “Impérial du large”, I-LPA), during the summer (June to August)and fall (mid-September to November) seasons, with the sampling dates depending on the weather conditions. For the M−FPA, samples were collected between Moyades island and Riou island, while for the I-LPA, they were collected on the south side of the “Impérial du large” island. To take into account the existing bathymetry, in the M−FPA the samples were taken at two sampling sites with depths of 20 and 40 m, while in the I-LPA they were taken at two sites with depths of 20 and 80 m.
At each site, in-situ filtration of seawater was performed using a double-head submersible pump (Subspace, Geneva, Switzerland; nominal flow of ca. 1 L/min) strapped to an underwater scooter with 2 VigiDNA 0.20 µm filtration capsules (SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France), along with disposable sterile tubing. The samples were collected along two horizontal transects (up to 400 m in length) during each closed-circuit rebreather dive, enabling the filtration of a water volume of 15 L/filter per depth, as close as possible to the substrate. Two filter replicates were collected by two divers at each sampling site, except in two cases where bad weather conditions or logistical issues meant that only one replicate was sampled.
After the filtration, the remaining seawater was emptied from the capsule back on the boat and replaced by a 80 mL CL1 conservation buffer (SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France). To prevent any contamination, a strict protocol was followed during the entire process, requiring disposable gloves and single-use filtration equipment. Finally, the samples were stored at room temperature. 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.
	* metadata/: contains two metadata files, one related to the data collected in the field for each filter, and the second related to the sequencing process in the lab (including the tag sequence, library name, and marker information for each sample)

en: The dataset contains for three variables (snow water equivalent, surface water input and liquid precipitation) 50 realizations of current and future climate periods for two time horizons (mid end end of century), two emission senarions (RCP 4.5 and 8.5) and 10 climate model chains (all EUR11 chains within CH2018). To quantify natural climate variability for projections of snow conditions and resulting rain-on-snow (ROS) flood events, a weather generator was applied to simulate inherently consistent climate variables for multiple realizations of current and future climates at 100 m spatial and hourly temporal resolution over a 12 x 12 km high-altitude study area in the Swiss Alps. The output of the weather generator was used as input for subsequent simulations with an energy balance snow model. The data was extracted in 2021 from original model output.

Data has been collected from summer 2011 to 2016.

Main reasons for NA values:

-	D. kuriphilus still not arrived in the site.
-	No galls were found during the field sampling.
-	Site has not been sampled in the correspondent year because of time, weather or money constrains.
-    T. sinensis not found in the galls

Variable description:

Year = sampling year.

Coordinate, elevation, slope, aspect = average site characteristics.

ts_arrival = T. sinensis arrival year.

dk_arrival = D. kuriphilus arrival year.

dk_parasitism_by_ts = D. kuriphilus parasitism rate by T. sinensis. Formula: (no. of T. sinensis/ no. of D. kuriphilus chambers) * 100 at gall level.

dk_infestation = Percentage of attacked buds. Formula: no. of attacked buds / no. of total developed buds*100 (as presented in Kotobuki et al. 1985) at shoot level.

ts_per_bud = number of alive T. sinensis individual calculated at bud level.

dk_per_bud = number of alive D. kuriphilus individual calculated at bud level.

dk_pot_per_bud = overall number (dead and alive) D. kuriphilus individual calculated at bud level.

total_gall_nr_per_bud = average gall number per bud.

chamber_per_galls = average D. kuriphilus chamber number per gall.

This dataset contains the population evolution of a pest and its biocontrol agent in terms of presence proportion at gall level and absolute number of insects.

The study area extends from the Cuneo region (Piedmont, Italy) to southern Switzerland. In order to provide a complete range of data covering the entire process from the pest arrival to complete biological control by its natural enemy T. sinensis, a space-for-time substitution approach has been adopted so as to create a temporal gradient of the epidemic stages over the whole study area.

The southernmost Swiss sites roughly represent the arrival and establishment of the pest without the presence of the natural enemy, the central ones the early epidemic stage and the epidemic peak, whereas the northern ones the end of the epidemic with the beginning of the biocontrol. The Italian ones represent the beginning of the equilibrium between the two population as well as the situation with stable T. sinensis populations on the long term.

These data are used in the paper entitled: Torymus sinensis local and regional early population dynamics in the Insubrian and Piedmont regions

This dataset includes the FORTRAN code of the FSM2trans model version used in the paper: Quéno et al., Snow redistribution in an intermediate-complexity snow hydrology modelling framework, The Cryosphere, 2024.
The FSM2trans code is derived from the FSM2 model (Essery et al., 2015) and its variant FSM2oshd (Mott et al., 2023). In this model, we implemented and adapted the snowdrift model SnowTran-3D (Liston et al., 2007) and the avalanching model SnowSlide (Bernhardt and Schulz, 2010).
This dataset does not include the processing scripts to prepare meteorological input data for the model, provided as bin files.
