The Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL has extensive experience with surrogate bedload transport measurements. The first measuring site was established in the Erlenbach stream, a small (first-order) catchment in the pre-alpine valley Alptal in central Switzerland. Continuous bedload transport measurements were started in 1986, using first piezoelectric sensors (1986 to 1999) and then geophone sensors (from 2002 onwards) underneath a steel plate and mounted flush with the streambed. In the meantime, the so-called Swiss plate geophone (SPG) system has been installed at more than 20 field sites, primarily in smaller and steeper streams in Switzerland, Austria, and Italy but also in a few larger rivers and in some other streams worldwide (Israel, USA, Japan).
Sediment transport observations in Switzerland with the SPG system concern the following streams: Erlenbach near Brunni (Alptal valley), Albula at Tiefencastel, Navisence at Zinal, Avançon de Nant near Pont de Nant, and Riedbach near Graechen (see map). The data in this repository primarily refer to calibration measurements with the SPG system. The publications listed here discuss primarily the performance of the measuring system but also process-based aspects of bedload transport.

Jikradia olitoria Say is a Nearctic leafhopper that was recently identified in several European countries. Given its role as the vector of phytoplasmas associated with Grapevine Yellows diseases (GYD) in its native range, its presence in European vineyard agroecosystems could represent an important phytosanitary risk.
Systematic monitoring conducted over two consecutive years (i.e., 2023 and 2024) using chromotropic traps in seven sites allowed to confirm its widespread presence in the southern Alps, both inside vineyards as well as in the nearby forest edge compartment. Moreover, a subset of the collected specimens was analyzed to test potential infection by phytoplasmas associated with Flavescence dorée.

en: In the context of landslide early warning research, soil moisture (e.g. volumetric soil water content and soil water potential) has been measured at six locations in the Napf-region (Emmental, central Switzerland) since April 2019. Here, we provide the hourly mean values of all sensors from all 6 locations after a comprehensive data control, filtering and aggregation (from 10-min to 1-hour values). A sub-set of these data (for the locations Wasen i.E.) has previously been published in envidat.ch at https://www.doi.org/10.16904/envidat.369 applying the same data post-processing method. The dataset is complemented with meteorological data (locally measured air temperature and precipitation) as well as soil temperature. A detailed description of the sites and measurement installations can be found in a separate report (attached with the data).

Der erweiterte Ausbau der Wasserkraftproduktion steht im Spannungsfeld mit der Sicherstellung ökologischer Funktionen von Fliessgewässern. Die neu entwickelte Restwasser-Datenbank bietet eine öffentlich zugängliche Grundlage zu den Restwasserbestimmungen der Schweizer Wasserkraftanlagen (WKA). Sie umfasst 252 WKA mit einer installierten Leistung von mindestens 3 MW, darunter 160 Laufwasserkraftwerke, 75 Speicherkraftwerke, 16 Pumpspeicherkraftwerke und ein Umwälzkraftwerk. Die erwartete jährliche Stromproduktion dieser Anlagen (ohne Umwälzbetrieb) beträgt 31’540 GWh, was rund 76 % der gesamten schweizerischen Wasserkraftproduktion entspricht. Die Datenbank umfasst rechtliche, hydrologische und technische Attribute und erlaubt dank ihrer kraftwerksspezifischen Struktur eine einfache Verknüpfung mit der schweizerischen Wasserkraftstatistik (WASTA). Dadurch wird die effiziente Bearbeitung hydro-energetischer Fragestellungen ermöglicht.
Eine öffentlich zugängliche Datengrundlage ist insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund des Klimawandels relevant, da dieser die hydrologischen Verhältnisse verändert und Nutzungskonflikte um Wasserressourcen verschärft. Gleichzeitig steigt der Druck auf aquatische Lebensräume, unter anderem infolge steigender Wassertemperaturen. Die Restwasser-Thematik betrifft nicht nur das Spannungsfeld zwischen Energieproduktion und Gewässerökologie, sondern auch Aspekte der Wasserqualität sowie weitere Nutzungen wie Trinkwasserversorgung, landwirtschaftliche Bewässerung, Kühlung und den Betrieb von Abwasserreinigungsanlagen (ARAs). Für eine nachhaltige Wasserwirtschaft ist die Etablierung öffentlicher und belastbarer Datengrundlagen unerlässlich, da sie eine Quantifizierung und Abwägung divergierender Interessen ermöglicht. Nur auf dieser Basis lässt sich die bislang emotional geführte Debatte versachlichen und können Entscheidungsprozesse evidenzbasiert unterstützt werden, die eine zukunftsfähige und nachhaltige Wasserwirtschaft fördern.
The planned expansion of hydropower in Switzerland conflicts with the need to preserve the ecological functions of rivers. To support informed decision-making, a publicly accessible database on environmental flows has been developed. It documents the environmental flow requirements for 252 hydropower plants with an installed capacity of ≥ 3 MW, including 160 run-of-river plants, 75 storage plants, 16 pumped-storage plants, and one closed-loop pumped-storage plant. Together, these plants have an expected annual electricity production of 31’540 GWh—around 76% of Switzerland’s total hydropower generation.
The database contains legal, hydrological, and technical attributes and can be easily linked to the national hydropower statistics (WASTA), enabling efficient analysis of hydroelectric issues. In the context of climate change, such an open database is crucial, as shifting hydrological conditions intensify competing water uses and increase pressure on aquatic ecosystems. Environmental flow requirements involve not only the trade-off between energy production and river ecology but also water quality and other uses such as drinking water supply, irrigation, cooling, and wastewater treatment. Robust, publicly available data are essential for quantifying and balancing these competing interests and for supporting evidence-based decisions in sustainable water resources management.

This data set includes 57 years of hydrometeorological measurements from small (first-order) catchments in the pre-alpine valley Alptal. Here we provide daily mean values; values in hourly or 10-min resolution can be provided on demand.
Runoff has been measured at the outlet of three small (first-order) catchments of approximately 1 km2 area: Erlenbach (two independent runoff measurements), Vogelbach and Lümpenenbach. The catchments are similar with regard to geology (Flysch) and soil conditions (clay soils), but differ in forest coverage (20 to 60%). A detailed description of the catchments can be found at https://www.wsl.ch/alptal  .
Runoff in these small catchments is typically very dynamic and can temporally carry large amounts of sediment and large wood. Thus, the accuracy of the measurements at very large flow is limited.
Meteorological variables have been measured on a meadow (Erlenhöhe) located in the Erlenbach catchment at 1220 m a.s.l. using a standard meteorological station (incl. ventilated air temperature and heated rain gauges). In addition, precipitation has also been recorded at two other locations (in the Vogelbach and Lümpenenbach catchments).
Snow measurements have been conducted weekly to monthly since 1968 at more than 15 locations (30-m transects) representing different altitudes, aspects and land uses (meadow, forest). In addition, snow depth has been recorded continuously since 2003 at Erlenhöhe, and for this location we also include a simulation of snow depth and SWE (using the numerical models COUP and DeltaSnow) that assimilates the manual weekly snow-course measurements. Details on these snow measurements can be found in Stähli, M. and Gustafsson, D. 2006. Hydrol. Proc., 20, 411-428. doi: 10.1002/hyp.6058.
Further information on the methods and sensors can be found at https://www.wsl.ch/alptal  .
A first version of this data set (for the period 1968-2017) was uploaded in June 2018 at the occasion of the 50-year anniversary. This original data set was updated in February 2021 (with data from 2018 and 2019), and this data set was used for a longterm trend analysis, submitted for publication in a special issue of Hydrological Processes. Further updates of the data set (with data from 2020 to 2022) were uploaded in March 2023, February 2024, March 2025 and January 2026.

    Description: Air temperature, dew point temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, precipitation and global radiation have been measured (since 1981) on a meadow (Erlenhöhe) in the Erlenbach catchment. It is located at 1'220 m a.s.l. with an exposure towards west. In order to assess the spatial variability of precipitation, two additional rain gauges have been running in the Vogelbach and Lümpenenbach catchment, respectively. For the period before 1981, meteorological variables have been extrapolated from the nearby MeteoSwiss station Einsiedeln (ca. 15 km north) to the WSL station Erlenhöhe using a linear correction factor for air temperature, wind speed and precipitation. Snow depth has been recorded automatically since 2003. Snow water equivalent has been calculated using two numerical models: COUP model (Jansson, 2012) and DeltaSnow model (Winkler et al., 2021)

en: Collected Invertebrate data using pitfall traps at streetlights with different characteristics at three different sites in Switzerland (Birmensdorf, Lägern & Alpthal). LED characteristics are LED color temperature, light level and luminaire shape (K, L_level, Diff). Additionally, we had two pitfall trap positions: Center (C; 100% light intensity)) and  Periphery (P; 10% light intensity). The traps were emptied weekly over a period of two summers (2021 & 2022). The samples were sorted into 40 different taxonomic invertebrate groups. We included weeks where we turned of the light for a different experiement, these weeks were excluded from this dataset.

This repository contains data related to an interdisciplinary study on playgrounds, looking at both playground vegetation and the well-being of pre-school children using those playgrounds. This project was funded by and initiated at the Institute for Landscape Planning and Ecology (ILPÖ) of the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Data was collected by ILPÖ. The project was finalised in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL). The aim of the study was to (1) describe playground vegetation (species richness and diversity at the ground, shrub and tree layers; habitat structure); (2) describe preschool children’s well-being and nature-connectedness; and (3) investigate whether there is a relationship between plant diversity and well-being while exploring potential other predictors of well-being, including children’s and parents’ or carer’s nature-connectedness, greenspace exposure, seasonality, and socio-demographic background.
We sampled ground (-1m height), shrub (1-2m height) and tree (-2m hieght) vegetation of 29 playgrounds of Stuttgart's inner city. Sampling took place between May 25 and July 01, 2021. Ground layer vegetation was sampled in ten one-by-one m2 quadrats per playground, within which we recorded the cover of each species based on the Braun-Blanquet scale. Woody vegetation was exhaustively sampled within the playgrounds and in a surrounding two meters buffer, recording each individual plant. Vegetation cover was visually estimated as a percentage for each vegetation layer, namely the ground, shrub and tree (canopy) layers.
In parallel, we distributed questionnaires to parents and carers to assess the well-being and connectedness-to-nature of preschool children (aged 6 or younger) across the seasons. The questionnaire covered children's (1) use of greenspaces, (2) nature-connectedness, (3) well-being, and (4) socio-demographic variables. Questionnaires were distributed accross all seasons: sampling seasons included autumn (Oct-Nov 2021), winter (Jan-Feb 2022), spring (April-May 2022) and summer (June-July 2022). Ethical approval was granted by the University of Stuttgart Commission on Responsibility in Research (Az. 21-033).

*english description below
Die Schweiz als „Wasserschloss Europas“ ist eine etablierte Bezeichnung im öffentlichen Diskurs, die sich im Laufe der Zeit zu einer identitätsstiftenden Metapher entwickelt hat. Die Zeitungsanalyse der letzten 100 Jahre zeigt, wie sich die Verwendung dieser Metapher unter dem Einfluss äusserer Faktoren gewandelt hat. Das Jahr mit den meisten Zeitungsartikeln, in denen die Metapher verwendet wurde, war der Hitzesommer 2003. Weitere Jahre mit häufigem Vorkommen der Metapher fallen mit internationalen Ausstellungen (Expos) zusammen, bei denen sich die Schweiz als „Wasserschloss Europas“ präsentierte oder entsprechende Bezüge herstellte. Dabei diente die Metapher einerseits als Symbol für den Wasserreichtum des Landes, andererseits unterstrich sie die Rolle der Schweiz im Umweltschutz, deren Verantwortung gegenüber den Unterliegern; zudem diente sie der touristischen Vermarktung der Naturlandschaft. Lange Zeit galt der Wasserreichtum in der Schweiz als selbstverständlich, angesichts der rasanten Klimaerwärmung und des damit einhergehenden steigenden Nutzungsdrucks auf die Ressource Wasser und die aquatischen Lebensräume erscheint die Verwendung dieser beschaulichen Metapher als überholt.
Switzerland, as the “Wasserschloss Europas”, is an established term in public discourse that has evolved over time into an identity-shaping metaphor. A newspaper analysis spanning the last 100 years shows how the use of this metaphor has changed in response to external factors. The year with the highest number of newspaper articles employing the metaphor was the heatwave summer of 2003. Other years with high numbers of occurrences coincide with international exhibitions (Expos), where Switzerland presented itself as the “Wasserschloss Europas” or made related references. The metaphor served as a symbol of the country’s abundance of water and, highlighted Switzerland’s role in environmental protection and its responsibility towards downstream countries; it also supported the tourist marketing of its natural landscapes. For a long time, Switzerland’s water wealth was taken for granted. In view of rapid climate warming and the resulting increasing pressure on water resources and aquatic habitats, the use of this idyllic metaphor now seems outdated.

This repository contains data related to the field experiment of the WP3 (social impacts) of the ALANeX project. This project is a collaboration between the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) and Elektrizitätswerk des Kantons Zürich (EKZ). It has received funding from the WSL programme EXtremes. The overall objective of the ALANeX project was to assess the ecological and social impact of anthropogenic light at night.
We conducted a randomized field experiment to compare the well-being benefits of exposure to streetlights of different correlated colour temperatures (CCT) during a 20-min stay in the centre of Richterswil, Swizerland, to explore:
 - the impact of exposure to streetlamps of different CCT on affect, self-reported stress and cortisol levels
- the differences in impression of artificial light and of the feeling of safety provided by streetlamps based on its CCT.

en: These datasets and code support research on the community assemblage of aquatic macroinvertebrates in ephemeral microhabitats, specifically water-filled tree holes (WTH), in three biogeographically and climatically distinct old-growth forests: Temperate-Mediterranean (France), Neotropical (Brazil) and Palaeotropical (India). By integrating standardised biological sampling, detailed environmental measurements and spatial analysis, the dataset allows for an in-depth examination of how local habitat conditions and spatial configuration influence taxonomic and functional beta-diversity patterns. The data capture the variation in species composition and ecological traits in 35 WTH per forest site and are particularly important for understanding how environmental filtering and spatial processes shape beta-diversity in natural forest ecosystems.

The cold habitats of the Swiss Alps and the Arctic are undergoing change and are at risk of disappearing completely or partially in the future. Along with them, a poorly known diversity of microorganisms that have adapted to life in these supposedly hostile places. By cryopreserving microorganisms from these habitats, some of today's biodiversity can be preserved in biobanks.
The collection contains cryopreserved bacteria and fungi isolated from permafrost and active layer of Muot da Barba Peider and Val Lavirun, from the glacier forefield and glacier toe of the Damma glacier, from active layer in northern Greenland and from plastic waste in Svalbard, as well as isolates from plastic incubations in Muot da Barba Peider, northern Greenland and arctic Russian soils.

This dataset contains processed bat acoustic data collected to evaluate the ecological impacts of beaver-engineered ponds on bat species richness, activity, and feeding activity. It includes nightly activity and feeding call counts identified to species or species group level, site and treatment information (beaver pond vs. control areas along the same stream), and associated environmental covariates such as deadwood volume, arthropod abundance, and vegetation structure.
Methods: Bats were recorded using passive acoustic detectors placed at paired beaver-influenced and control sites. The resulting data was processed in the software Batscope. Arthropod abundance was estimated using flight-interception traps. The amount of deadwood and vegetation cover was measured in the field. Canopy cover and canopy heterogeneity were modelled from GIS models.
Temporal and Spatial Coverage:
Data were collected from eight sites in Switzerland between June and July 2022, each site sampled for 16 nights.

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

Overview
The SUNWELL Modelling Environment is a combination of data and code that models electricity production from satellite-derived irradiance data and other spatial data sets for all of Switzerland. This ensemble accompanies the publication "The bright side of PV production in snow-covered mountains", published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science and reproduces all results and figures of. Code and resources are in their original form (with documentation). A new version with a more generalized application to PV modelling and with more flexibility in terms of input and output formats will be released in the coming months.
 Format
All code is written and has to be executed in Matlab. The input and output data sets are also in the Matlab-specific .mat format. Whenever publicly available, the original data is provided as geotif, .xlsx or other common format.
This is the case for:
- Digital Elevation Model (InputsFromMatlab/MSG/OriginalData/ASTERDEM),
- Landsurface cover type (InputsFromMatlab/MSG/OriginalData/CORINE),
- Population Density (InputsFromMatlab/MSG/OriginalData/popdensRaster,
- Electricity production from three of our validation sites (/Validation/WSL),
- Measured irradiance for two validation sites (/Validation/ASRB)
The ‘Metadata’ documents in the respective folders provide further information about the data sources and processing. Figures are produced either in .pdf or .png format.
 Structure
The central level of the SUNWELL environment holds the 5 Mains, which run the different modelling aspects of the paper; each code is documented separately. Additional code is located in the ‘DataProcessing’ and the ‘functions’ folder. Functions are called in the different Mains.
‘InputsFromMatlab’ contains the radiation and albedo input data sets in separate subfolders (SIS/SISDIR/ALB). The original data is not publicly available, but can be requested for research purposes free of charge. We provide a processed subset of the data set that was used to run the SUNWELL simulations. The MSG subfolder contains additional spatial input data sets.
‘Outputs’ contains the output files from the different mains (matching names, Main_CHallpixels.m  Prod_CHallpixels)
‘Publication_figures’ contains all individual figures from the PNAS publication, as well as the generating code (/code_plot) and the power point figures (/ppts) that provide the combined final figures.
‘Validation’ contains the data sets used in the model validation:
- Electricity production from three of our validation sites (/WSL),
- Measured irradiance for two validation sites (/ASRB)
Electricity production from a validation site at Lac des Toules in Wallis (/LDT), this data set was provided under an NDA and cannot be made publicly available.

Dataset
This dataset is based on terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data acquired during winter 2020/2021 in leaf-off conditions, with a Leica BLK 360 instrument following a tree-centric scanning pattern.
The data was acquired on two sites (47.42°N 8.49°E and 47.504°N, 7.78°E), both of which were managed mixed temperate forest stands.
Individual trees were semi-automatically segmented from the co-registered TLS point clouds.
 Background
Accurate estimates of individual tree volume or biomass within forest inventories are essential for calibration and validation of biomass mapping products based on Earth observation data.
Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) enables detailed and non-destructive volume estimation of individual trees, with existing approaches ranging from simple geometrical features to virtual 3D reconstruction of entire trees. Validating such approaches with weight measurements is a key step before the integration of TLS or other close-range technologies into operational applications such as forest inventories.
In this study, we firstly evaluate individual tree volume estimation approaches based on 3D reconstruction through quantitative structure models (QSM) against destructive reference data of 60 trees and compare them to operational allometric scaling models (ASM).
Secondly, we determine the explanatory power of TLS-derived geometric parameters regarding total tree, stem, coarse wood and fine branch volume.
