Fish environmental DNA data set collected in the shallow seamount of La Pérouse located between Madagascar and Réunion Island
In 2019, we sampled the shallow seamount of La Pérouse, located between Madagascar and Réunion Island in the WIO. La Pérouse is an extinct volcano with a summit depth at 60 m below the sea surface. The plateau of the summit has a maximum length of 12 km and a maximum width of 4 km. One side of the seamount might have collapsed in the past, leading to a less common crescent-shaped summit. The abyssal plains that surround this isolated pinnacle are at a depth of 5000 m. Despite its proximity to Réunion Island (160 km northwest), La Pérouse and its surroundings are still poorly studied.
To sample eDNA in this location we used a submersible pump (Subspace, Geneva, Switzerland; nominal flow of ~ 1.0 L/min) to collect samples at various depths during close circuit rebreather dives. The pump has an internal battery and can be activated underwater allowing in situ filtration directly at the targeted habitat and depth. The filtration lasted for 30 min to collect a total water volume of ~ 30 L. During close circuit rebreather dives, water samples from various depths, ranging from 60 to 140 m below the sea surface, were collected using only the Submersible method (eight stations: no replicates). Out of the eight water samples, six were collected during the day, while two were collected at night (IS2_1 at 62 m and IS7_1 at 100–125 m). We applied this filtration protocols to collect and filter water throughout a VigiDNA® 0.2 μM cross-flow filtration capsule (SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France) using disposable sterile tubing for each filtration capsule. After the filtration process, the remaining water in the capsules was emptied. The capsules were then filled with 80 ml of lysis conservation buffer (CL1 buffer SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France) and stored at room temperature in the dark. At La Pérouse, a total of eight water samples were collected during the MONT LA PÉROUSE expedition (https://gombessa-expeditions.com/mont-la-perouse/) on board the ship La Curieuse to the seamount La Pérouse from October 27th to November 5th 2019. 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).

This dataset was used to analyse effects of different biodiversity and functional group treatments, fertilizer and fungicide applications as well as weeding of vascular plants on the species richness and species composition of bryophytes for the following publication: Lin M., Bergamini A., Pichon N.A., Allan E, Boch S. 2025. Nitrogen enrichment and vascular plant richness loss reduce bryophyte richness. Scientific Reports.
In this study we surveyed 96 of 216 2 m x 2 m experimental plots of the PaNDiv experiment, a large grassland field experiment in the Swiss lowlands (Pichon et al. 2020). In the PaNDiv experiment four experimental treatments were applied in a full-factorial design manipulating: (1) the nitrogen availability (through fertilization), (2) the presence of fungal pathogens (through fungicide application), (3) the functional composition of the vascular plant community (represented here by community-weighted mean (CWM) SLA), and (4) the vascular plant richness (sowing of either 1, 4, 8 or 20 species). To maintain the original sown vascular plant species richness and composition, one part of each plot (1.5 m × 2 m) was weeded, while the other part has been left unweeded since the beginning of the experiment (0.5 m × 2 m).
On each plot we surveyed two subplots, the unweeded subplot and a weeded subplot of the same area (0.5 m × 2 m). On each subplot we established a complete list of all bryophyte species together with an estimate of their cover.
The provided excel file contains three sheets:
1.	A sheet with raw species lists of all plots surveyed together with information on all treatments and an estimation of the percentage cover of vascular plants in a summer campaign in August 2022. Cover of bryophytes was estimated for each species in percent.
2.	A sheet with a list of all bryophyte species with its growth form (acroarpous/pleurocarpous)
3.	A sheet with some explantations
By means of the provided R code and the data in the excel file, all analyses can be repeated.
More details to the data sampled can be found in Lin et al (2025).

dataset-on-new-snow-water-equivalent

en:
This dataset includes quality-controlled measurements of new snow depth (HN), new snow water equivalent (HNW), snow depth (HS), and snow water equivalent (SWE) from 41 stations located in Switzerland for the period from  2016-09-01 to 2022-08-31.
These data are the basis of the following publication: Magnusson J., Cluzet B., Quéno L., Mott R., Oberrauch M., Mazzotti G., Marty C., Jonas T., 2025, Evaluating methods to estimate the water equivalent of new snow from daily snow depth recordings, Cold Regions Science and Technology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coldregions.2025.104435.
Abstract
The water equivalent of new snow (HNW) plays a crucial role in various fields, including hydrological modeling, avalanche forecasting, and assessing snow loads on structures. However, in contrast to snow depth (HS), obtaining HNW measurements is challenging as well as time-consuming and is hence rarely measured. Therefore, we assess the reliability of two semi-empirical methods, HS2SWE and ΔSNOW, for estimating HNW. These methods are designed to simulate continuous water equivalent of the snowpack (SWE) from daily HS only, with changes in SWE yielding daily HNW estimates. We compare both parametric methods against HNW predictions from a physics-based snow model (FSM2oshd) that integrates daily HS recordings using data assimilation. Our findings reveal that all methods exhibit similar performance, with relative biases of less than ~3 % in replicating SWE observations commonly used for model evaluations. However, the ΔSNOW model tends to underestimate daily HNW by ~17 %, whereas HS2SWE and FSM2oshd combined with a particle filter data assimilation scheme provide nearly unbiased estimates, with relative biases below ~5 %. In contrast to the parsimonious parametric methods, we show that the physics-based approach can yield information about unobserved variables, such as total solid precipitation amounts, that may differ from HNW due to concurrent melt. Overall, our results underscore the potential of utilizing commonly available daily HS data in conjunction with appropriate modeling techniques to provide valuable insights into snow accumulation processes. Our study demonstrates that daily SWE observations or supplementary measurements like HNW are important for validating the day-to-day accuracy of simulations and should ideally already be incorporated during the calibration and development of models.

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.

- **Hourly generation profiles** (`energy_yield`, in Wh) for each aggregation unit
- **Installed capacity** (`installed_capacity_mwp`, in MWp) and **pixel count** (`pixel_count`) per unit
- **Seasonal sums** (`annual_gwh`, `winter_gwh`, `summer_gwh`, in GWh) per unit
- **Polygon geometries** (`geometry`, WKT in EPSG:2056) for each aggregation unit, embedded directly in the NetCDF
- **Global attributes** recording scenario name, panel tilt, GCR method, POA mode, and PV system parameters
 Six scenarios
Scenarios vary the site-selection approach (elevation range vs. pixel-level winter specific yield threshold) and the maximum slope:
- **1.** — slope ≤ 40°, elevation 1900–3300 m, aspect 90–270° on steep slopes, no winter-yield filter
- **2.** — slope ≤ 40°, elevation 1500–4400 m, aspect 90–270° on steep slopes, no winter-yield filter
- **3.** — slope ≤ 30°, elevation 1900–3300 m, aspect 90–270° on steep slopes, no winter-yield filter
- **4.** — slope ≤ 30°, elevation 1500–4400 m, aspect 90–270° on steep slopes, no winter-yield filter
- **5.** — slope ≤ 40°, elevation 100–4400 m, all aspects, winter specific yield ≥ 500 kWh/kWp
- **6.** — slope ≤ 30°, elevation 100–4400 m, all aspects, winter specific yield ≥ 500 kWh/kWp
Scenarios 1-4 use a conventional elevation range together with an aspect restriction (north-facing pixels excluded on slopes - 10 deg). Scenarios 5-6 apply a pixel-level winter specific yield threshold instead.
 Methodology
A pre-computed binary exclusion raster from the [Swiss SolarWind Explorer](https://swiss-solarwind-explorer.ethz.ch/) (Reusser et al., 2025) serves as the base land suitability mask, integrating land-cover, protected-area, and biodiversity exclusions developed through extensive consultation with governmental, expert, and biodiversity stakeholders. On top of this base mask, the pipeline clips to alpine communes, removes natural hazards (level -= 2), applies a 5 km effective road distance filter (with vertical penalty), and applies scenario-specific terrain restrictions.
For each qualifying 25 m pixel, the ground-cover ratio is computed using the Bao et al. (2022) parametrization with a 60 deg panel tilt, and the hourly yield is derived from the [CH-POA300](https://www.doi.org/10.16904/envidat.632) plane-of-array irradiance dataset (300 m resolution, 5 azimuth bins). A simplified PV system model is applied (module efficiency 20%, performance ratio 0.8, bifacial factor 1.2, inter-row shading loss 10%). For scenarios with the winter yield filter, only pixels whose simulated October--March specific yield exceeds 500 kWh/kWp are retained.
 Two aggregation levels
- **commune** — Swiss alpine municipality; 713 units; source swissBOUNDARIES3D; CRS EPSG:2056
- **node** — Transmission grid Voronoi node; 126 units; source [CH-RPV300 (grid_voronoi_v2)](https://www.doi.org/10.16904/envidat.733); CRS EPSG:2056
 File format
NetCDF-4 files, one per scenario and aggregation level (12 files total). Each file is self-contained: the hourly profiles, installed capacity, seasonal sums, polygon geometries, and scenario parameters are all embedded in the NetCDF. See `data_description_v*.md` included in the dataset for the full data model, coordinate definitions, and usage examples.

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.

Hourly rooftop photovoltaic (RPV) power generation profiles for Switzerland, covering 12 weather years (2008--2019) and spatially aggregated to the nodes of the Swiss electricity transmission grid. The dataset resolves 48 orientation and tilt combinations, five installation size classes, and three flat roof design scenarios per grid node, providing approximately 8,550 distinct candidate RPV generators nationwide.
 What is in this dataset
- **Hourly generation profiles** (`power`, in Wh) for each grid node, roof orientation, and tilt bin
- **Installed capacity** (`Wp`, in Wp) broken down by size class (1--10, 10--30, 30--100, 100--300, 300--1000 kWp)
- **Normalized capacity factor profiles** (`specificPower`, in Wh/Wp) enabling scaling to arbitrary deployment levels
- **Voronoi grid shapefiles** defining the spatial aggregation zones around each transmission node.
 Flat roof scenarios
Flat roofs (~23% of Swiss roof area) allow different module configurations. Three scenarios are included:
- **Winter** — South-facing, 35° tilt, GCR 0.45 — optimizes winter yield (Oct–Mar)
- **Annual** — South-facing, 15° tilt, GCR 0.70 — optimizes annual yield
- **Flat-EW** — East-West alternating, 15° tilt, GCR 1.04 — maximizes total installed capacity
Tilted roofs (tilt - 0) are identical in all three scenarios.
 Methodology
Generation profiles are derived from satellite-based hourly surface solar radiation data (HelioMont), downscaled to 300 m resolution using the NASADEM digital elevation model with terrain-scale shading and ground reflection ([CH-POA300](https://www.doi.org/10.16904/envidat.632)). The national roof inventory Sonnendach (v1.5) provides orientation, tilt, and area for over 10 million roof surfaces. A simplified PV system model (module efficiency 20%, performance ratio 0.8, roof cover factor 0.7) converts irradiance to AC power output. Only roofs with an installed capacity -= 1 kWp are included.
 Two grid versions
- **v1** —  135 nodes, CRS EPSG:21781
- **v2** —  126 nodes, CRS EPSG:21781
 File format
NetCDF-4 files, one per year and scenario. See `DATA_DESCRIPTION.md` included in the dataset for the full data model, coordinate definitions, and usage examples.

Research question / purpose
Timber is widely used for protection measures in torrent control. However, life span of woody constructions such as timber check dams is limited mainly due to fungal decay. In practice a controversial discussion has been going on if either Norway spruce (Picea abies) or silver fir (Abies alba) is more enduring and if bark removal increases resistance against fungal decay.
Description
This dataset contains monitoring information on a series of 15 timber check dams built in 1996 in Hergiswil, Switzerland. The constructions were alternatively realised with Norway spruce and silver fir, half of them each with remaining and removed bark, respectively. The data includes the identification of decayed zones with a simple practical approach (i.e. measurement of the penetration depth of a slotted screwdriver No. 3) from a total of 12 repeated surveys from 2001 to 2025.
The following information is contained (by column and column title):
•	Identification of decayed zone (column title “Decay_Id”)
•	Year of survey (column title “Year”)
•	Identification of check dam (column title “Check dam”)
•	Degree of decay (column title “Degree of decay”): 2 = reduced wood strength (penetration depth 2-10 mm); 3 = low wood strength (penetration depth - 10 mm)
•	Sectors 1 to 7 of check dams (column title “Sector”)
•	Element of check dam (column title “Element”): LH (longitudinal log, German: “Längsholz”), Z (transverse log, German: “Zange”), FH (infill log, German: “Füllholz”)

This repository contains anonymised survey data, choice experiment material, and R code from a multilingual online survey of chocolate consumers in Switzerland conducted in June 2024. The survey was fielded in German, French, and Italian through Bilendi Schweiz AG within the [Deliberative Diets](https://www.deliberative-diets.net/) research project at the [Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL)](https://www.wsl.ch/en/), funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
The survey included questions on chocolate purchasing behavior, attitudes and beliefs regarding ethically produced chocolate, socio-demographic characteristics, and a discrete choice experiment on chocolate tablet attributes. The choice experiment elicited preferences over product profiles varying by label, cocoa distribution channel, environmental impact of cocoa cultivation, place of chocolate production, and price premium.
The repository underlies three related studies based on the same empirical survey. The first is [Towards an ethical chocolate supply chain: Matching Swiss consumer preferences with policy instruments](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clrc.2025.100376), which uses the survey’s discrete choice experiment to derive a respondent-level behavioral proxy of ethical chocolate choice. The second study uses this proxy together with survey-based psychological constructs to analyse ethical consumption intentions, behavior, and policy support among Swiss chocolate consumers. The third study examines how Swiss consumers respond to disclosed supply-chain governance cues and how these preferences vary with latent psychological dispositions and feasibility constraints.
The archived materials are intended to support transparency and reproducibility. They include an anonymised master dataset, documentation of the choice experiment design, survey materials, and R scripts for preparing article-specific analytical datasets and reproducing the reported analyses.

The dataset contains Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) and orthophotos obtained from successive surveys used to quantify soil erosion on non-vegetated slopes in a torrent catchment. The research area is steep (mainly 30-60°), has a complex topography and the spatial extent is about 0.6 ha. Furthermore, it is partly forested, and the soils consist mainly of glacial till. Digital terrain models were compiled in spring and autumn of the years 2021 to 2025 using UAV based LiDAR (Riegel miniVUX-3) and Photogrammetry (DJI Phantom 4 RTK).
To derive DTMs from the LiDAR (miniVUX-3) and photogrammetric (Phantom 4RTK) point clouds ground classification was processed with lasground_new (LASTools) and further refined by applying a filtering, based on vegetation index (2*green channel – red channel – blue channel) to remove vegetation points falsely classified as ground. Documented accuracies of the DTMs heights compared to dGNSS measurements were mostly around 2-5 cm. All data is supplied in the reference system LV95 (epsg: 2056) / LN02 (epsg: 5728).

CHELSAcruts is a delta change monthly climate dataset for the years 1901-2016 for mean monthly maximum temperatures, mean monthly minimum temperatures, and monthly precipitation sum.  Here we use the delta change method by B-spline interpolation of anomalies (deltas) of the CRU TS 4.01 dataset. Anomalies were interpolated between all CRU TS grid cells and are then added (for temperature variables) or multiplied (in case of precipitation) to high resolution climate data from CHELSA V1.2 (Karger et al. 2017, Scientific Data). This method has the assumption that climate only varies on the scale of the coarser (CRU TS) dataset, and the spatial pattern (from CHELSA) is consistent over time. This is certainly a rather crude assumption, and for time periods for which more accurate data is available CHELSAcruts should be avoided if possible (e.g. use CHELSA V1.2 for 1979-2015). Different to CHELSA V1.2, CHELSAcruts does not take changing wind patterns, or temperature lapse rates into account, but rather expects them to be constant over time, and similar to the long term averages.

Dataset supporting the paper "Herbivory mediates the response of below-ground food-webs to invasive grasses", published in the Journal of Animal Ecology.
The dataset refers to samples collected across 6 farms in the Bega Valley region of Australia. The farms are located in the grassy woodland ecoregion and are extensively managed with sheep and cattle grazing. Livestock shares the landscape with native mammalian and invertebrate herbivores. On each farm, two nested fenced exclosure systems were established. These included an open area, a fence excluding livestock but allowing access to native mammals and invertebrates, a fence excluding all mammals but allowing access to invertebrates and a shielded cage excluding all invertebrate herbivores as well. In each farm, one of these systems was located in a zone  dominated by the native Kangaroo grass, and another in a zone co-dominated by the Invasive African lovegrass. The sample and treatment numbering is provided in the file Sample_metadata.
Soil samples were taken and DNA was extracted and amplified for 16s and ITS markers. The resulting metabarcoding derived ASV tables are presented (16s_ASV_table and ITS_ASV_table), as are the inferred functional profiles for bacteria at the enzyme and pathway level (16s_picrust_enzymes and 16s_picrust_pathways), as derived by the PICRUSt2 pipeline, and the fungal guilds reconstructed with FunGuildR (FunguildR_output).
Chemical, physical and enzymatic assays were also performed on the soil samples (Chemical_data).
Nematodes were extracted from soil cores with a Baermann funnel, counted (Nematodes_counts) and had their DNA extracted and amplified (Nematodes_asv_table). Soil invertebrates were sampled with below-ground pitfall traps and identified to family level (Invertebrates) and earthworms were manually extracted from 20*20*20 cm monoliths ((Earthworm_counts).
Two 20 by 100 cm strips had their vegetation removed and their living and litter biomass quantified by dry weight (Biomass_summary). Sensors measuring moisture and temperature 10 cm beneath the soil surface were installed in each plot and their output is presented in Microclimate_summary.

vegetation-height-model-sentinel-nfi

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

Landolt et al. (2010) indicator values are widely used in plant related ecological assessments. However, since the publication of the dataset, the national checklist of Switzerland (see Juillerat et al. 2017) has further evolved and the taxon names of the two are not congruent. Here, we present a translation between the two datasets. Translations were made by expert knowledge.
