Stable water isotopes (δ18O) obtained from snow and ice samples of polar regions are used to reconstruct past climate variability, but heat and mass transport processes can affect the isotopic composition. Here we present an experimental study on the effect on the snow isotopic composition by airflow through a snow pack in controlled laboratory conditions. The influence of isothermal and controlled temperature gradient conditions on the δ18O content in the snow and interstitial water vapor is elucidated. The observed disequilibrium between snow and vapor isotopes led to exchange of isotopes between snow and vapor under non-equilibrium processes, significantly changing the δ18O content of the snow. The type of metamorphism of the snow had a significant influence on this process.

The data correspond to the experiments presented and discussed in a paper regarding the interaction between turbulent wind fluctuations and snow saltation mass-fluxes (Paterna, 2016). Each of the nine data files corresponds to a different experiment presented in the paper and conducted in the winter 2014/2015 in the WSL/SLF cold wind tunnel in Davos. For each file the five columns indicate the time from the beginning of the experiment, the streamwise (u’) and the vertical (w’) wind velocity fluctuations, the streamwise (qx) and the vertical (qz) snow mass-flux components. From these time-series the scales of the snow saltation and of the turbulent flow are obtained with respect to the eddy-cycles and snow saltation cycles. From spectral analysis of the time-series a decoupling of the snow saltation from the turbulence forcing reveals two regimes of interaction: a turbulence-dependent regime occurring with weak saltation, and a turbulence-independent regime with strong saltation. Further details can be found at the link below.

In 2013–2014, a survey was conducted in Switzerland to update the Forest Access Roads geo-dataset within the framework of the Swiss National Forest Inventory (NFI). The resulting nationwide dataset contains valuable information on truck-accessible forest roads that can be used to transport wood. The survey involved interviewing staff from the approximately 800 local forest services in Switzerland and recording the data first on paper maps and then in digitized form. The data in the NFI on the forest roads could thus be updated and additional information regarding their trafficability for specific categories of truck included. The information has now been attached to the geometries of the Roads and Tracks of the swissTLM3D (release 2012) of the Federal Office of Topography swisstopo. The resulting data are suitable for statistical analyses and modeling, but further (labour-intensive) validation work would be necessary if they are to be used as a basis for applications requiring more spatial accuracy, such as navigation systems. The data are managed at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) and are available for third parties for non-commercial use provided they have purchased a TLM license.

en: Long-term data on precipitation and runoff are essential to draw firm conclusions about the behavior and trends of hydrological catchments that may be influenced by land-use and climate change. Here the longest continuous runoff records (1903 - 2015) from small catchments (less than 1 km2) in Switzerland (and possibly worldwide) are provided as a data set. The history of the hydrological monitoring in the Sperbel- and Rappengraben (Emmental) is summarized in Stähli et al., Environ Monit Assess (2011). The runoff stations operated safely for more than 90% of the summer months when most of the major flood events occurred. Nevertheless, the absolute values of peak runoff during the largest flood events are subject to considerable uncertainty (also discussed in Stähli et al., 2011). This treasure trove of data can be used in various ways, eg. for analysis of the generalized extreme value distributions of the two catchments, of the mechanisms governing the runoff behavior of small catchments, as well as for testing stochastic and deterministic models.

During the last 45 years, about 100 people lost their lives in avalanches in the European Alps each year. Avalanche fatalities in settlements and on transportation corridors have considerably decreased since the 1970s. In contrast, the number of avalanche fatalities during recreational activities away from avalanche-secured terrain doubled between the 1960s and 1980s and has remained relatively stable since, despite a continuing strong increase in winter backcountry recreational activities.

This snow depth map was generated 14 January 2015, close to peak of winter accumulation, applying Unmanned Aerial System digital surface models with a spatial resolution of 10 cm. The covered area is 285'000 m2 at the top of Brämabüel, 2490 m a.s.l. covering all expositions. Coordinate system: CH1903LV03.
A detailed description is given here:
Bühler, Y., Adams, M. S., Bösch, R., and Stoffel, A.: Mapping snow depth in alpine terrain with unmanned aerial systems (UASs): potential and limitations, The Cryosphere, 10, 1075-1088, 10.5194/tc-10-1075-2016, 2016.
Abstract:
Detailed information on the spatial and temporal distribution, and variability of snow depth (HS) is a crucial input for numerous applications in hydrology, climatology, ecology and avalanche research. Nowadays, snow depth distribution is usually estimated by combining point measurements from weather stations or observers in the field with spatial interpolation algorithms. However, even a dense measurement network is not able to capture the large spatial variability of snow depth in alpine terrain.
Remote sensing methods, such as laser scanning or digital photogrammetry, have recently been successfully applied to map snow depth variability at local and regional scales. However, such data acquisition is costly, if manned airplanes are involved. The effectiveness of ground-based measurements on the other hand, is often hindered by occlusions, due to the complex terrain or acute viewing angles. In this paper, we investigate the application of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), in combination with structure-from-motion photogrammetry, to map snow depth distribution. Such systems have the advantage that they are comparatively cost-effective and can be applied very flexibly to cover also otherwise inaccessible terrain. In this study we map snow depth at two different locations: a) a sheltered location at the bottom of the Flüela valley (1900 m a.s.l.) and b) an exposed location (2500 m a.s.l.) on a peak in the ski resort Jakobshorn, both in the vicinity of Davos, Switzerland. At the first test site, we monitor the ablation on three different dates. We validate the photogrammetric snow depth maps using simultaneously acquired manual snow depth measurements. The resulting snow depth values have a root mean square error (RMSE) better than 0.07 to 0.15 m on meadows and rocks and a RMSE better than 0.30 m on sections covered by bushes or tall grass. This new measurement technology opens the door for efficient, flexible, repeatable and cost effective snow depth monitoring for various applications, investigating the worlds cryosphere.

A landslide testsite dataset related to pore water pressure perturbations on the stability of unsaturated silty sand slopes leading to the initiation and propagation of the shear deformations and eventual rapid mass movements. This project was initiated and led by the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering (IGT) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) and was incorporated in a Swiss national (TRAMM) and a European Union (SafeLand) multidisciplinary research project. Field site: The experimental slope is 7.5 m wide by 35 m long, located in the Swiss lowlands on an east facing slope over-looking the river Rhine, at an altitude of ~ 350 masl. Originally there were forestry covertures of circa 80%, heights of 5-20 m. Shrubs up to 1-5 m high and a free herb layer covered ~ 50% of the surface. The average gradient was determined to be from 38° to 43° with a slightly concave surface. The underlying rock consists mainly of Molasse, which is formed by alternate layers of sea deposits under the Tethys Sea (Seawater Molasse) and land deposits (Freshwater Molasse). Several augured samples, as well as an outcrop of the bedrock about 20 m above the selected field, revealed horizontal layering of fine grained sand- and marlstone at the test site. The sandstone was later proven to be highly permeable and fissured. Grain-size distributions were determined and the soil was classified as medium-low plasticity silty sand. Site instrumentation:Measurements of soil suction, groundwater level, soil volumetric water content, rain intensity and soil temperature were taken and combined with geophysical monitoring using Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) and investigations into subsurface flow by means of tracer experiments. Deformations were monitored during the experiment, both on the surface via photogrammetrical methods and within the soil mass, using a flexible probe equipped with strain gauges at different points and two axis inclinometers on the top and acoustic sensors. Instruments were installed mainly in three clusters at depths of 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 cm below the ground surface over the slope, including jet-fill tensiometers, TDRs, Decagon TDRs, piezometers, soil temperature sensors, deformation probes, earth pressure cells, acoustic sensors and rain gauges. A ring-net barrier (provided by Geobrugg AG) was set up at the foot of the slope to protect the road. Experiments: A sprinkling experiment was carried out in September 2008 to investigate the hydrological and mechanical response of the slope (Experiment 1), followed by a second one to trigger a landslide in March 2009 (Experiment 2).

The present dataset is part of the published scientific paper Hersperger, A.M., Bürgi, M., Wende, W., Bacău, S. and Grădinaru, S.R., 2020. Does landscape play a role in strategic spatial planning of European urban regions?. Landscape and Urban Planning, 194, p.103702.
The goal of this research was to assess the role of landscape in contemporary strategic spatial planning.  In order to assess the role of “landscape” in the strategic spatial plans, we focused on how plans took advantage of landscape’s integrative power, how plans are based on knowledge on functioning of landscape systems, and how plans show the contribution of landscapes to human well-being. For each aspect, a number of items (detailed in Table 1 of the paper) were selected to assist the assessment.
This study is based on content analysis of the strategic spatial plans of 18 European urban regions. The strategic spatial plans were retrieved from the planning authorities’ websites.  The cases study regions as well as the analyzed strategic spatial plans are presented in Table 2 of the paper.
The authors developed a protocol containing  28 items, out of which 16 were directly derived from information presented in Table 1. As a result, we provide the following outputs:
•	Protocol_items.docx – freely available - Detailed description of all the protocol items used to conduct the analysis.
•	Coding results.xlsx – available on request - Results of the coding procedure. Data were used to create Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and to qualitatively present the results in the research paper.

This dataset includes data on species richness of vascular plants and bryophytes in 55 wetlands of the canton of Zürich (Switzerland) as well as recent and historic data on the area and connectivity of these 55 wetlands and was used for the paper Jamin A., Peintinger M., Gimmi U., Holderegger R., Bergamini A. (2020) Evidence for a possible extinction debt in Swiss wetland specialist plants. Ecology and Evolution.
Species richness data are available for vascular plants and bryophytes. The field survey was carried out between June 5 and August 10, 2012. The survey covered all wetland (fen) types in the canton of Zürich. For data collection, at least half a day per wetland was spent searching for species. Within each wetland all different vegetation types were covered until no new species were found to get as complete species lists as possible. In the Excel file information on species richness of the following groups is provided: (1) all vascular plant species; (2) wetlands specialists among vascular plants; (3) generalists, which were all non-specialist vascular plant species; (4) short-lived vascular plant specialists; (5) long-lived vascular plant specialists; (6) short-lived vascular plant generalists; (7) long-lived vascular plant generalists; (8) bryophyte species. Specialist vascular plant species included all characteristic species listed in Appendix 1a of the wetland inventory of Switzerland (BUWAL, 1990).
Based on the data of Gimmi et al. (2011), the area of all wetlands in 1850, 1900, 1950 and 2000 were determined as well as the wetland area within buffers 2km in radius with the center of the wetland as starting point. These data are also provided in the Excel sheet.
Moreover, for each wetland mean indicator values according to Landolt et al. (2010) and the standard deviation of these indicator values based on presence-absence data of vascular plants were calculated and are provided in Excel sheet. Indicator values for temperature, light availability, moisture, acidity, nutrients, amount of humus and soil aeration were considered.

Comparing environmental DNA metabarcoding and underwater visual census to monitor tropical reef fishes, the Providencia island data set.
Between June 29 and July 5, 2018, we collected a total of 20 water samples from 10 stations around Providencia Island, with two filtration replicates per station. Providencia Island is located in the southwestern Caribbean Sea and forms part of the UNESCO Seaflower Biosphere Reserve in Colombia. This island, which belongs to the San Andrés, Providencia, and Santa Catalina Archipelago, is characterized by a complex barrier reef on a calcareous platform surrounding an extinct Miocene volcano. The high habitat diversity provides a range of substratum types and coral reefs, influencing the diversity, abundance, and distribution of coral reef fishes. Each station consisted of a transect of 2 km at an overall constant distance from the coast. We recorded the GPS coordinates at the start and end of the transect. We conducted eDNA sampling by using a filtration device composed of an Athena® peristaltic pump (Proactive Environmental Products LLC, Bradenton, Florida, USA; nominal flow of 1.0 L/min), a VigiDNA® 0.20 μM cross-flow filtration capsule (SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France) and disposable sterile tubing for each filtration capsule. We performed two filtration replicates in parallel on each side of a boat, at each station, for 30 min corresponding to a volume of ~30 L of water filtered by each capsule. At the end of each filtration, the water inside the capsules was emptied, and we filled the capsules with 80 ml of CL1 Conservation buffer (SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France) and stored at room temperature. We followed a strict contamination control protocol in both field and laboratory stages (Valentini et al., 2016). 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)

Streets and Highways are important corridors for the spread of invasive plant species. On behalf of the **Federal Roads Office, FEDRO**, WSL surveyed the national road network in 2021 and recorded the distribution of three invasive neophytes using **AI-based species recognition** in a total of **3.8 million georeferenced images**. The mapped species are the **tree of heaven *(Ailanthus altissima)***, **common ragweed *(Ambrosia artemisiifolia)*** and **narrow-leaved ragweed *(Senecio inaequidens)***.
The data here is part of the **FEDRO documentation** and shows the mapping results as images and interactive maps. The interactive maps are - technically speaking - **self-contained HTML files** that can be displayed with standard web browsers. To reduce the file size, the downloads are provided in zip format.
**License**: This is not an independent data publication by WSL. The data was published together with the written document Trocmé et al. 2023, **© FEDRO 2023** (see related publication: © ASTRA 2023, Abdruck - ausser für kommerzielle Nutzung - unter Angabe der Quelle gestattet).

Predicting future climatic conditions at high spatial resolution is essential for many applications in science. Here we present data for monthly time series of precipitation and minimum and maximum temperature for four downscaled global circulation models. We used model output statistics in combination with mechanistic downscaling (the CHELSA algorithm) to calculate mean monthly maximum and minimum temperatures, as well as monthly precipitation sums at ~5km spatial resolution globally for the years 1850-2100. We validated the performance of the downscaling algorithm by comparing model output with observed climates for the years 1950-2069.

en: A multitude of physical and biological processes on which ecosystems and human societies depend are governed by climatic conditions. Understanding how these processes are altered by climate change is central to mitigation efforts. Based on mechanistically downscaled climate data, we developed a set of climate-related variables at yet unprecedented spatiotemporal detail as a basis for environmental and ecological analyses. We created gridded data for near-surface relative humidity (hurs), cloud area fraction (clt), near-surface wind speed (sfcWind), vapour pressure deficit (vpd), surface downwelling shortwave radiation (rsds), potential evapotranspiration (pet), climate moisture index (cmi), and site water balance (swb), at a monthly temporal and 30 arcsec spatial resolution globally starting 1980 until 2018. At the same spatial resolution, we further estimated climatological normals of frost change frequency (fcf), snow cover days (scd), potential net primary productivity (npp), growing degree days (gdd), and growing season characteristics for the periods 1981-2010, 2011-2040, 2041-2070, and 2071-2100, considering three shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP126, SSP370, SSP585) and five Earth system models. Time-series variables showed high accuracy when validated against observations from meteorological stations. Climatological normals were also highly correlated to observations although some variables showed notable biases, e.g., snow cover days (scd). Together, the data sets presented here allow improving our understanding of patterns and processes that are governed by climate, including the impact of recent and future climate changes on the world’s ecosystems and associated services to societies.

Resources associated with the manuscript *A case study on the application of spore sampling for the monitoring of macrofungi* ([Schlegel et al. 2024](https://doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.13941)).
Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring of fungi was evaluated on a species-rich grassland site. Extensive fruiting body surveys yielded 29 waxcap and clavarioid species, 19 of which were also detectable in air eDNA. The analysis indicates that spores of locally occurring fruiting bodies were detected, in addition to a large diversity of common fungal species, while rare and threatened species were under-represented in the air.

Environmental DNA complements scientific trawling in surveys of marine fish biodiversity (Dataset 2020)
In October 2020 we chose 16 sites from the 2020 EVHOE survey for eDNA sampling. The French international EVHOE bottom trawl survey is carried out annually during autumn in the BoB to monitor demersal fish resources. All sites were located on the continental shelf (26–170 m depth), except one on the upper slope with a depth of 1045 m. To perform eDNA sampling, we collected water samples at 15 sites (Figure 1a). At each site, we sampled seawater using Niskin bottles deployed with a circular rosette. There were nine bottles on the rosette, each of them able to hold ∼5 l of water. At each site, we first cleaned the circular rosette and bottles with freshwater, then lowered the rosette (with bottles open) to 5 m above the sea bottom, and finally closed the bottles remotely from the boat. The 45 l of sampled water was transferred to four disposable and sterilized plastic bags of 11.25 l each to perform the filtration on-board in a laboratory dedicated to the processing of eDNA samples. To speed up the filtration process, we used two identical filtration devices, each composed of an Athena® peristaltic pump (Proactive Environmental Products LLC, Bradenton, Florida, USA; nominal flow of 1.0 l min–1 ), a VigiDNA 0.20 μm filtration capsule (SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France), and disposable sterile tubing. Each filtration device filtered the water contained in two plastic bags (22.5 l), which represent two replicates per sampling site. We followed a rigorous protocol to avoid contamination during fieldwork, using disposable gloves and single-use filtration equipment and plastic bags to process each water sample. At the end of each filtration, we emptied the water inside the capsule that we replaced by 80 ml of CL1 conservation buffer and stored the samples at room temperature following the specifications of the manufacturer (SPYGEN, Le Bourget du Lac, France). We processed the eDNA capsules at SPYGEN, following the protocol proposed by Polanco-Fernández et al., (2020). We performed library preparation and sequencing at Fasteris (Geneva, Switzerland). Specifically, we prepared four libraries using the MetaFast protocol (a ligation-based method) and sequenced them separately. We carried out paired-end sequencing using a MiSeq sequencer (2 × 125 bp, Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) on two MiSeq Flow Cell Kits (v3; Illumina), following the manufacturer’s instructions. We analysed the sequence reads using the OBITools package (http:
//metabarcoding.org/obitools; Boyer et al., 2016), following the protocol described by Valentini et al. (2016).
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)

Fish taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic composition variations recovered from eDNA metabarcoding along the coast of Curacao
In February 2020, we collected a total of 20 water samples, from 10 stations, with two filtration replicates per station, in the two investigated coastal areas. Each station consisted of a transect of 2 km at an overall constant distance from the coast. We recorded the GPS coordinates at the start and end of the transect, which we used to map the transect positions. We conducted eDNA sampling by using a filtration device composed of an Athena® peristaltic pump (Proactive Environmental Products LLC, Bradenton, Florida, USA; nominal flow of 1.0 L/min), a VigiDNA® 0.20 μM cross-flow filtration capsule (SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France) and disposable sterile tubing for each filtration capsule. We performed two filtration replicates in parallel on each side of a boat, at each station, for 30 min corresponding to a volume of ~30 L of water filtered by each capsule. At the end of each filtration, the water inside the capsules was emptied, and we filled the capsules with 80 ml of CL1 Conservation buffer (SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France) and stored at room temperature. We followed a strict contamination control protocol in both field and laboratory stages (Valentini et al., 2016). 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).

Catchment-based sampling of river eDNA integrates terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity of alpine landscapes
From 22-Jun-2020 to 26-Jun-2020, we sampled five sites comprising one low, two intermediate and two high-elevation sites per catchment (Fig. 1a). We visited two catchments per day—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—for a total of ten catchments. All samples per catchment were collected within a maximum four-hour period by three groups of samplers. The intermediate and high-elevation sites were situated along two tributaries leading into the low-elevation site of the river. We used three filters for each relative elevation class and filtered 60 L per relative elevation class. We sampled 30 L per tributary for a combined volume of 60 L at the intermediate and high-elevation sites. In total, 180 L were sampled in total per catchment. A filtration device composed of either the Athena® peristaltic pump (Proactive Environmental Products LLC; 1 L/min nominal flow) or the Subspace® underwater peristaltic pump (Subspace Pictures; 1 L/min nominal flow), combined with a VigiDNA® 0.2 µM cross-flow filtration capsule (VigiDNA, SPYGEN) was used in order to filter a large water volume. We used a finer mesh than the recommended VigiDNA® 0.45 µM cross-flow filtration capsule to maximise the capture of biological material since mountain water does not transport high quantities of sediments. For each filtration capsule, we used disposable sterile tubing. At the end of each filtration, we emptied the water inside the capsules, replaced it with 80 ml of CL1 conservation buffer (SPYGEN), and stored it at room temperature. We followed a strict contamination control protocol in both field and laboratory stages (Goldberg et al. 2016; Valentini et al. 2016). Each water sample was processed using disposable gloves and single-use filtration equipment. We used two primer sets targeting vertebrates (Vert01, forward: − TTAGATACCCCACTATGC, reverse: − TAGAACAGGCTCCTCTAG, mean marker length: 97 bp) and spermatophytes (g-h/Sper01, forward: − GGGCAATCCTGAGCCAA, reverse: CCATTGAGTCTCTGCACCTATC, mean marker length: 48 bp). Though both primers are relatively broad with low species-level resolution, we selected them as the goal was to minimise cost and effort and maximise the identification of a broad range of taxa which can represent the species assemblages of the region. Libraries were prepared with ligation using the MetaFast protocol (Fasteris).

en:
Snow Height Classification dataset provides manually annotated snow height data that can be used for development and evaluation of automatic snow height classification approaches.
A subset of 20 IMIS stations which span different locations and elevations and vary in underlying surface (e.g., vegetation, bare ground, glacier, etc.) were selected and manually annotated with binary two-class ground truth information regarding snow height data:
 * **Class 0 - Snow** - the surface is covered by snow
 * **Class 1 - No Snow** - the surface is snow-free (e.g., vegetation, soil, rocks, etc.)
Data has been annotated with the help of domain experts. It should be mentioned that annotating historical data is problematic, as there is no way of checking whether there really was snow at the station or not. This means that assessing the presence of snow with the help of information from other sensors should be considered a best effort approach.
Besides the annotated snow height data, the dataset also contains additional data which are relevant to reproduce results in the following repository:

Preferential deposition of snow and dust over complex terrain is responsible for a wide range of environmental processes, and accounts for a significant source of uncertainty in surface mass balances of cold and arid regions. Despite the growing body of literature on the subject, previous studies reported contradictory results on the location and magnitude of deposition maxima and minima. This study aims at unraveling the  governing processes of preferential deposition in neutrally stable atmosphere and to reconcile seemingly inconsistent results of previous works. For this purpose, a comprehensive modeling approach is developed, based on large eddy simulations of the turbulent airflow, Lagrangian stochastic model of particle trajectories, and immersed-boundary method to represent the underlying topography. The model performance is tested against wind tunnel measurements of dust deposition around isolated and sequential hills. A scale analysis is then performed to investigate the dependence of snowfall deposition on the particle Froude and Stokes numbers, which fully account for the governing processes of inertia, flow advection, and gravity. Additional simulations are performed, to test whether the often used assumption of inertialess particles yields accurate deposition patterns. We finally show that our scale analysis provides qualitatively similar results for hills with different aspect ratios.
This dataset contains the results of the LES-LSM model. Each Matlab file contains a 2D array of deposition values (in kg/m2) in each surface node (ix, iy) of the Cartesian grid. The file names are consistent with the simulation numbers listed  in the original paper. For additional information, please refer to "Preferential deposition of snow and dust over hills: governing processes and relevant scales" by F. Comola, M. G. Giometto, S. T. Salesky, M. B. Parlange, and M. Lehning, Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2019.

The colonization of cut pine stems by wood-inhabiting insects was investigated at various elevations. The study sites were located in the regions of Aosta Valley (Italy), Valais (Switzerland), and Grisons (Switzerland). In each region, there were two gradients in pine (Pinus sylvestris) forests, with three study sites at 900 m, 1200 m, and 1600 m a.s.l. each. Vital trees were felled in late autumn and the stems were colonized by pioneering xylophagous insects and their natural enemies next spring. Pieces of these stems were cut and exposed in emergence traps in a greenhouse. In each region the survey was done in two consecutive years.

943 disturbances in the forest of southern Switzerland have been visited and characterized with various general and specific parameters and the presence absence of woody neophyte species has also been recorded.
A Generalized linear regression modelling approach with a binomial family (link function “logit”) was then used to analyse the effects of these parameters on the presence/absence of the six most widespread neophyte species separately (i.e Ailanthus altissima, Buddleja davidii, R. pseudoacacia, Paulownia tomentosa, Prunus laurocerasus, Trachycarpus fortunei). If needed, the models were refitted with the spmodel R-package to account for the spatial dependence.
The best model for every species have been used to predict the risk of invasion on a 25 X 25m grid of 1’773’603 million of points covering the entire forest area under 1’500 m a.s.l. Predictions over this new set of points have been computed with the predict function (v4.2.1; R core Team, 2023) and using the best select model for every neophyte species. The resulting prediction are available as a raster tiff.
These presence probability risk maps for the forest area of the entire canton Ticino provide a practical  tool to be used in combination with the waldmonitoring.ch data allowing to efficiently monitor the spread of woody neophyte species in new disturbances in the forest.

    Description: Some models have been refined. These are the updated maps.
Pixel values represent the probability of presence for a given species. 0 = species absent, 1 = the probability that the species is present is 100%.
Four maps per species are available:
- "silvi" = the map shows the presence probability after a silvicultural intervention
- "other" = the map shows the presence probability after anthropic disturbance (e.g. powerline or road maintenance)
- "natural" = the map shows the presence probability after a natural disturbance (e.g. uprooted tree, forest fire)
- "average" =  the map shows the presence probability after a disturbance. The value is the average of the three disturbance types (silvicultural intervention, anthropic disturbance, natural disturbance)

en: This study investigated multi-year drought impacts on beech forests through a unique large-scale monitoring of 963 individual beech trees, which showed either premature leaf discoloration during the drought in summer 2018 or no visible damage. We conducted the study in two highly drought-affected regions in northern Switzerland and one less drought-affected region located further south. We quantified the development of crown dieback and tree mortality as well as secondary drought damage, i.e. the presence of bleeding cankers and bark beetle infestations, in these trees for three consecutive years. We also determined the impact of several potential climate- and stand-related (predisposing) factors  on  mortality  and  drought  legacy  processes.
