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.

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.

We established our study sites in the cities of Basel, Lugano and Zurich. We characterised urban tree cover of each city using a rectangular grid with squares of 100x100 m. Within each square, we measured the area covered by urban trees using the European Union's Copernicus Land Monitoring Service information, Urban Atlas Street Tree Layer 2018 [https://doi.org/10.2909/205691b3-7ae9-41dd-abf1-1fbf60d72c8c](https://doi.org/10.2909/205691b3-7ae9-41dd-abf1-1fbf60d72c8c).
Then we assigned each square to three categories of urban tree cover that roughly represented the main types of urban uses:
1) low cover, industrial/commercial areas, 0-20% tree cover;
2) intermediate cover, residential areas, 20-40% tree cover;
3) high cover, urban parks and cemeteries, 40-60% tree cover.

We measured bird predation rate on the non-native insect larvae of the horse chestnut leaf miner (HCLM) Cameraria ohridella, an invasive moth that lays eggs and completes its larval and pupal development stages within the leaves of the horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanus. The larvae feed on leaf fluids and tissue while creating mines within the leaf, which ultimately results in early leaf browning and loss of photosynthetic activity. We collected roughly ten twigs from each tree, including five twigs from the inner and five from the outer crown. Each twig carried 2-4 leaves, for a total of 3408 leaflets. Leaves were stored for ~10 weeks in a refrigerated room at 4 degrees C. We checked all HCLM mines using a stereo microscope and distinguished among open and close mines.
Open mines were further divided based on the opening hole, whether it was a small round exit hole of the larva or the parasitoid, or an irregularly shaped, large bird predation hole.

The study area included the cities of Basel, Lugano and Zurich. The sampling design reflected four main city districts related to four categories of tree cover (Figure 1): 1) industrial/commercial areas, 0-20% tree cover; 2) residential areas, 20-40% tree cover; 3) urban parks and cemeteries, 40-60% tree cover; 4) peri-urban forests (natural/semi-natural forests), 60-100% tree cover. The tree cover gradient was evaluated across a square grid with a square side length of 100 m. For each square, we evaluated the area covered by urban trees using the Urban Atlas Street Tree Layer 2018 (European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service information, 2021).
In each city, we established eight transects of 1.2 km, two for each tree cover category. Transects crossed contiguous grid squares belonging to the same tree cover categories as much as possible. We performed aural-visual point counts of birds every 200 m along each transect (six points per transect) during the breeding season (April-June 2024) (Bibby et al., 2000). The transects were walked at the time of highest activity of birds, which is from thirty minutes after sunrise until 4 hours later. Each transect was walked twice, 20-60 days apart, to account for imperfect detection of birds and sample completeness (Balestrieri et al., 2017; Kéry et al., 2005).

Our study sites consisted of eight 1.2 km-long transects in each city, equally distributed across the four tree cover categories.  We designed an experimental measurements of bird predation rate on herbivore insect larvae using artificial caterpillars. They mimicked a variety of common, cryptically-coloured herbivorous species, which are usually preyed by birds. We designed caterpillars with green water-resistant modelling clay (Staedtler Noris®), 4-6 cm long and approximately 0.5 cm wide. Caterpillars were threaded to a thin (Ø = 0.6 mm) zinc-plated iron wire and tethered to branches of trees or bushes at a height up to 2 m from the ground. We placed 2-4 caterpillar mimics every 200 m along each transect (five points per transect) or, when not possible due to absence of suitable branches, within 200 m from the point.
In total, we placed 270 caterpillar mimics at 115 points during the late breeding season (June-July 2023). Caterpillar mimics were checked after 10-14 days and replaced with new ones at new locations within 10 m from the previous ones. During each of the two visits, we counted the number of bird predation marks.

We captured birds in urban parks and peri-urban forests in the cities of Lugano and Zurich. The urban sites were located in an urban forest (Lugano) and in a cemetery (Zurich), and the bird assemblages were comparable with those of the surrounding forests.
We captured individual birds during sessions lasting multiple days using mist-nets, concentrating the activities within 3-4 hours after sunrise and before sunset. We extracted birds from nets using single-use nitrile gloves and gently wiped their body parts with a dry foam swab MW940 (Medical Wire & Equipment), which was then placed in a screw-capped tube (2 ml), which was previously filled with 1 ml ethanol puriss. (Sigma-Aldrich) under sterile conditions.Then, we marked each bird with an alphanumeric leg band, identified the species, determined the sex and age whenever possible, measured for relevant biometrics (e.g. wing chord), the amount of body fat and pectoral muscle (i.e. body condition), and weighed.
Afterwards, we placed each bird in a disposable paper bag within a cotton bag that ensured respiration and left it for few minutes in a safe and calm place to allow for defecation and the collection of faecal samples. The faecal sample was collected from insectivorous and omnivorous birds, and few granivorous birds that are known to occasionally eat invertebrates, such as the house sparrow Passer domesticus.
After releasing the bird, we stored the faecal sample in a screw-capped tube (2 ml), which was previously filled with 1 ml ethanol puriss. (Sigma-Aldrich) under sterile conditions. We wore single-use nitrile gloves and used sterile toothpicks to collect solid samples. The tubes were initially stored in the refrigerator during the field campaign and no later than seven days after collection at -20°C until prepared for DNA extraction.
DNA extraction and library preparation was performed at WSL Phytopathology facilites, Sequencing was performed at Lausanne Genomic Technologies Facility (University of Lausanne; [https://wp.unil.ch/gtf/](https://wp.unil.ch/gtf/)) on an AVITI benchtop sequencing system (Element Biosciences). Bioinformatics was performed at the Genetic Diversity Center (ETH Zurich) using a custom pipeline.

en: The TypoCH scoring system (Eggenberg & Bornand 2023), which is widely used in Switzerland, provides good results as classification method for vegetation types based on Delarze et al. (2015). However, the reference list contained species with no diagnostic value and important character species were missing. We therefore made a first attempt to modify the list based on numerical methods and expert knowledge to improve the classification success, at least for vegetation types of the open land (i.e. grasslands, fens, bogs).

The dataset comprises the time series of overland flow (OF) and topsoil interflow (TIF) discharges from 14 small runoff plots (1 x 3 m) over 27 rainfall events in 2022 across the Studibach in the Alptal, a typical pre-Alpine catchment in Switzerland.
The runoff plots were installed on different topographic indices and vegetation covers in order to study the spatio-temporal variability of OF and TIF.
The runoff was collected into self-made "Upwelling Bernoulli Tubes" and the water level inside these tubes was measured by pressure sensors (DCX-22-CTD, Keller Druck, Switzerland) at a 5-min resolution. The discharge was derived from the water level.
The precipitation was measured with a tipping bucket at the Erlenhöhe meteorological station and has a 10-min resolution.

en: This dataset provides data on the occurrence of 672 European bryophyte species in European countries or territories. All species which are considered threatened or near threatened according to the European Red List (Hodgetts et al. 2019) are included (553 species). Further, all species evaluated in the European Red List assessed as LC, DD, NE and EX, which at the same time are either endemic, near endemic or globally rare, are included (119 species). Therefore, the list contains not only all European bryophyte species that are threatened or near threatened, but also all species endemic or near endemic to Europe as well as all globally rare species occurring in Europe. For each of the 553 threatened or near threatened species, we provide a conservation a priority score which was calculated based the Red List status and the proportion of the European population of the global population or the global rarity of the species. For details on the prioritisation approach see Bisang et al. (2025).

This dataset comprises the time series of overland flow (OF) and topsoil interflow (TIF) discharge, and tracer concentrations during artificial rainfall simulation experiments at two large (-80 m2) trenched runoff plots in the Studibach catchment in the Alptal, a typical pre-Alpine headwater catchment in Switzerland.
One plot is located in a natural clearing in an open mixed forest and the other in a grassland. Together, they represent the dominant land cover types in the region.
We applied streamwater to the surface of the plots using sprinklers and added tracers after OF and TIF had reached steady state. Deuterium enriched water was applied to the surface of the plots via the sprinklers, while Uranine and NaCl were applied as a line tracer at multiple distances from the trench. NaBr was injected into the topsoil at ~20 cm depth. Samples of overland flow and topsoil interflow were collected for several hours after tracer application, while the sprinklers continued to apply water to the surface. The runoff was collected into self-made "Upwelling Bernoulli Tubes" and the water level inside these tubes was measured using pressure sensors (DCX-22-CTD, Keller Druck, Switzerland) at a 1-min resolution during the day and 5-min resolution during the night. Uranine concentrations and electrical conductivity (EC) were recorded at a 1-minute interval. Samples for deuterium and Bromide were analysed in the lab.
The celerity of overland flow and topsoil interflow was determined during another experiment by temporarily adding more water to the surface of the plots at different distances from the trench after steady state conditions had been reached. The overland flow and topsoil interflow discharge were again measured using the Upwelling Bernoulli Tubes and pressure transducers.

This dataset contains the results of a case study analysing the potential impacts of a compound meteorological extreme event on the protective forest in the Val Mesolcina. These impacts were assessed in an experts survey. 29 Experts from practice, administration and science estimated the probabilities for a loss of the protective function due to a drought-related compound extreme event based on different hazard scenarios. The experts not only assessed these probabilities but also provided estimates about the reliability of the scenarios, other socio-economic consequences and options for adaptation.
This dataset contains the following information:
- Table with all (anonymised) answers from the survey
- Factsheets summarising the results and methods in German, French and Italian
- A detailed description of the study site and survey instructions
- Link to the project website wit illustrations for each individual question of the survey

Background information
High elevation ecosystems are important in research about environmental change because shifts in climate associated with anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are predicted to be more pronounced in these areas compared to most other regions of the world. This project involved a Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) and soil warming experiment located in a natural treeline environment near Davos, Switzerland (Stillberg, 2200 m a.s.l.). Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations (+200 ppm) were applied from 2001 until 2009, and a soil warming treatment (+4 °C) was applied from 2007 until 2012. The combined CO2 enrichment and warming treatment reflects conditions expected to occur in this region in approximately 2050. A broad range of ecological and biogeochemical research was carried out as part of this environmental change project.
 Experimental design
The experiment consisted of 40 hexagonal 1.1 m² plots, 20 with a *Pinus mugo* ssp. *uncinata* (mountain pine, evergreen) individual in the centre and 20 with a *Larix decidua* (European larch, deciduous) individual in the centre. A dense cover of understorey vegetation surrounded the tree in each plot, including the dominant dwarf shrub species *Vaccinium myrtillus* (bilberry), *Vaccinium gaultherioides* (group *V. uliginosum agg.*, northern bilberry) and *Empetrum nigrum* ssp. *hermaphroditum* (crowberry) plus several herbaceous and non-vascular species.
At the beginning of the experimental period, the 40 plots were assigned to ten groups of four neighbouring plots (two larch and two pine trees per group) in order to facilitate the logistics of CO2 distribution and regulation. Half of these groups were randomly assigned to an elevated CO2 treatment, while the remaining groups served as controls and received no additional CO2. In spring 2007, one plot of each tree species identity was randomly selected from each of the 10 CO2 treatment groups and assigned a soil warming treatment, yielding a balanced design with a replication of five individual plots for each combination of CO2 level, warming treatment and tree species.
 Data description
Soil and air conditions have been monitored closely throughout the study period, with most measurements made during the combined CO2 x warming experiment (2007-2009). The data comprise of air temperature, soil temperature, soil moisture, sapflow, tree diameter and CO2 measurements.

In this experiment, we investigated the inoculation-effects of two ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) species with contrasting evolutionary histories, ecological properties, host-preferences, and habitat-ranges on phenotypic responses and growth dynamics of pedunculate oak (*Quercus robur*), an ecologically and economically important temperate forest tree species.
We set up the mycorrhization experiment using 96 plants of a genetically uniform *Q. robur* clone (DF159) and applied four treatments: A control treatment; an inoculation-treatment with the cosmopolitan Ascomycete *Cenococcum geophilum*, which is commonly found in oak forests; an inoculation-treatment with the Basidiomycete *Piloderma croceum*, which has not yet been found in natural oak forests but has been shown in previous experiments to support oak growth; and a co-inoculation treatment. We then assessed growth stage development of the trees over eight experimental weeks and measured various phenotypic traits during a destructive sampling.
