This dataset contains the results of greenhouse gas emission modeling for the five Swiss Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP-CH) up to the year 2100. Six sector-specific reduced-complexity models were developed specifically for this analysis, enabling the modelling of the SSP-CH storylines. Accordingly, the dataset comprises the outputs of all six models, generated both in the absence of and under the implementation of additional climate policy packages, referred to as Shared Policy Assumptions (SPAs; see related publications).
- Transport model (energy consumption by energy source and transport type/fleet mix)
- Housing model (heating demand and GHG emissions per building category)
- Electricity model (electricity consumption, electricity generation by energy source, installed capacity, district heating)
- Industry model (energy consumption by energy source, subdivided into raw materials/building materials, consumer goods, and processed goods)
- Agriculture model (feed digestion in livestock, manure storage, and nitrogen fertilization)
- Export/Import model (product quantities in import and export, broken down into consumer goods, raw materials/building materials, and processed goods)
- Synthesis model

Spatio-temporal vegetation models are essential for simulating dynamics and shifts
in species distributions over large areas, particularly under global change. One such
model is the dynamic forest landscape model TreeMig. We have developed a frame-
work that makes the model more user-friendly, improves its functionality, and expands
its possibilities. The framework consists of the improved TreeMig model, the R pack-
age ‘TreeMig-R’ for pre-processing input data, model execution and visualization and a
graphical user interface (GUI) for ease of use. The code of the TreeMig Package and the GUI is stored here.

We used 1463 observations of early leaf discoloration presence or absence in Switzerland's European beech (*Fagus sylvatica L.*) forests between 2018 and 2023 and interpolated Sentinel-2 vegetation index time series from Koch et al. (2024) to train a support vector classifier of early leaf discoloration. We applied this classifier to the European beech dominated forest area of Switzerland over the same time period to estimate a probability of early leaf discoloration between 0 and 1 (high probability of early leaf discoloration). The maps intentionally exclude legacy effects of drought like crown dieback or mortality which occurred in prior years.
Early leaf discoloration maps are available at the end of every summer month (June, July, August, and September) 2017 to 2023. Additional maps are available every 5-days during the summer months of 2018. Probability of early leaf discoloration at each date is provided as a GeoTIFF file with a scaled value range of 0 to 10,000 such that a probability of 0.9 is represented by a value of 9000 (a high probability of early leaf discoloration). An optimized probability threshold of 0.4 (4000) is recommended for classification into discolored and not discolored pixels. More details on the methods and results can be found in the publication of Bloom et al. (2026).
***These maps represent an interpreted remote sensing product that approximates ground observations of early leaf discoloration across Switzerland's European beech dominated forests.***
Given ongoing efforts to operationalize an early discoloration pipeline, all data is currently available upon reasonable request. An example of the 2018 5-day time series in the Hardwald (Canton Basel-Land) is available for immediate download.

The TreeMig framework allows for an easy application of the forest landscape model TreeMig for simulating forest dynamics in space under changing environmental and land use conditions.
Here, case study examples in Switzerland are given that simulate the dynamics and spatial spread of competing tree species in a region in Switzerland, the invasion of a hypothetical invasive tree species, and the control of this species via a management model coupled to TreeMig.  The datasets consist of the installation- and GUI starting-script,  example environmental input data for Switzerland, the simulation environment, and further R-scripts for running the simulations and plotting the simulation results directly from R and for coupling TreeMig to the forest management model.

Regional disturbance predisposition maps for windthrow, bark beetle and snow breakage. The maps are created using spatially explicit data of classified forest structure and site factor parameters. The classified input parameters were weighted according to their effect on windthrow, bark beetle and snow breakage predisposition using an expert-based model. The predisposition raster maps (10 x 10 m) represent the sum of expert-weighted effects on the predisposition and are provided as raw values (sum of the effects on predisposition) and as classified layers.
Classified predisposition maps are encoded as follows:
1: low predisposition (-50% quantile based on raw predisposition values)
2: increased predisposition (50–75% quantile)
3: high predisposition (-75–95% quantile)
4: extreme predisposition (-95% quantile)
Also included are the derived forest structure maps for development stage, dominant stand height, number of stems and canopy cover used for the predisposition mapping, as well as the R scripts and example data to re-create these parameters. Forest structure parameters are based on a data set of individual trees detected using a high-resolution vegetation height model. Further included are ArcPy scripts and example data to re-create the predisposition maps. Running the ArcPy scripts requires a valid ArcGis license including the extensions "SpatialAnalyst", "ImageAnalyst" and "3D".
The example data provided here is assembled from different sources; please check the related publication Bührle et al. (in review) for data sources and further information about the processing, the expert-based model, the forest structure derivation and the predisposition mapping.
Also consider reviewing the related datasets and publications Bast et al. (2025) for more information about canopy layering derivation and individual tree detection (ITD).

en: This dataset contains R scripts and pre-processed files to reconstruct the analyses made in the technical note submitted to Ecology Letters as a response to Li & He (2026, https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.70326). In short, I show that the claims made by LH26 (variation in tree growth has increased due to global warming, and that the power exponent between growth variance and mean is b=1.4) are questionable. I show that the reported variance increase in ring widths is an artefact caused by division-based detrending. The reported exponent of 1.4 reflects systematic underestimation, not biological reality of a steep variance-mean scaling. The ecological interpretations built on these foundations cannot be considered reliable.

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.

This dataset supports the analysis presented in "From point clouds to forest management: Quantifying the sensitivity of a decision support framework to initialization data using close-range remote sensing" (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoinf.2026.103896). The repository covers two parts of the analysis: (1) data preparation from LiDAR-based forest inventories, and (2) sensitivity analysis of decision support system (DSS) outputs. The intermediate forest simulation (ForClim v4.1) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) were carried out using an external pipeline described in Blattert et al. (2024), using the R package rforclim (v1.01.001) by Hiltner & Marano (2025). The corresponding model outputs are included here as inputs to the sensitivity analysis, making all analyses in this repository fully reproducible without requiring access to the simulation pipeline. The ForClim model (v4.1) (Marano et al., 2025) is openly available from the ETH Zurich Institute of Terrestrial Ecosystems (https://ites-fe.ethz.ch/openaccess/products/forclim). Climate data were sourced from the publicly available Swiss CH2018 dataset (CH2018 Project Team, 2018). Soil data were sourced from Baltensweiler et al. (2024). For a detailed description of the repository structure, scripts, and data files, see the README file included in this dataset.

Rising temperatures are thawing mountain permafrost, putting infrastructure like buildings, cable cars, and tunnels at risk. While warming air is the main cause, rainfall at high altitudes also plays an important role.
We built a small, portable system to test how active cooling powered by solar panels, can help keep the ground frozen. Experiments showed that rain can sometimes deepen thawing, especially in winter, but in summer under the impact of liquid precipitation it can also briefly refreeze parts of the ground or lead to ground movement.
Outdoor tests over six months showed that a solar-powered cooling system can successfully maintain a stable frozen layer. The results suggest that such systems could help protect infrastructure in mountain regions, though managing rainfall effects is crucial.
The results are described in the publication: Preserving frozen ground with active cooling under seasonal forcing - an experimental study.

Using purposive sampling, 73 planning experts – practitioners and academics – rated the priority they assign to thirteen groups of regulations (seven for buildings, six for open and green spaces) and assessed to which extent does each regulation group pursues the objectives of efficiency equity. The survey was administered online between August and December 2023. The dataset is the quantitative companion to the expert-interview dataset on discretion in land-use planning (doi:10.16904/envidat.785).

en: This dataset comprises the interview guides and the corresponding verbatim transcripts of 16 in-depth, semi-structured expert interviews examining how discretion is understood and exercised in land-use planning, across both plan-making and development control. The three jurisdictions — England (5 interviews), Ireland (5) and Switzerland (6) — were selected for their contrasting approaches to pursuing efficiency and equity through planning regulation, as identified in the companion survey of planning experts (doi:10.16904/envidat.735). The interviews were conducted with planning practitioners and academics across two rounds, structured by a six-question first guide and an eight-question second guide. All interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim, and anonymised prior to deposit.

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”)

defoliation-growth-data

en:
Using a literature review extracted data from 26 published papers which had data on individual tree defoliation and growth relationships In Europe.
This data set includes 415 defoliation-growth data points from 16 different tree species covering 15+ countries in Europe. Growth metrics used in individual papers were different, and included increments in terms of volume, tree rings width, radial growth, basal area and biomass. All growth metrics were converted into relative growth (presented in this dataset), expressed as a percentage of the growth of progressively defoliated trees in relation to the growth of those trees adopted as reference (control) defoliation level (i.e. the growth of the lowest defoliation level in each study was used as the reference growth point).

en: High quality meteorological data are needed for long-term forest ecosystem research, particularly in the light of global change. The long-term data series published here comprises almost 20 years of measurements for two meteorological stations in Lausanne in Switzerland where one station is located within a natural mixed forest stand (LAB) with European beech (_Fagus sylvatica_; 160-170 yrs), European silver fir (_Abies alba_; 160-170 yrs) and Norway spruce (_Picea abies_; 160-170 yrs) as dominant tree species. A second station is situated in the very vicinity outside of the forest (field station, LAF). The meteorological time series are presented in hourly time resolution of air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and wind speed. Lausanne is part of the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme (LWF) established and maintained by the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL.

The dataset "Lake_climate_change_scenarios_CH2018" provides simulation-based climate change impact scenarios for perialpine lakes in Switzerland. These transient future scenarios were produced by combining the hydrologic model PREVAH with the hydrodynamic model MIKE11 to simulate daily lake water level (Lake_water_level_scenarios_CH2018.xls) and outflow scenarios (Lake_outflow_scenarios_CH2018.xls) from 1981 to 2099, using the Swiss Climate Change Scenarios CH2018. The future scenarios contain a total of 39 model members for three Representative Concentration Pathways, RCP2.6 (concerted mitigation efforts), RCP4.5 (limited climate mitigation) and RCP8.5 (no climate mitigation measures). These scenarios result from the study titled "Lower summer lake levels in regulated perialpine lakes, caused by climate change," authored by Wechsler et al. in 2023.
The dataset emphasizes four specific Swiss lakes, each subject to different degrees of lake level management: an unregulated lake (Lake Walen), a semi-regulated lake (Lake Brienz), and two regulated lakes (Lake Zurich and Lake Thun).
In addition, the file (Lake_characteristics.xlsx) includes data used in the modeling process, encompassing the stage-area relation for the four lakes, stage-discharge relations for the unregulated and semi-regulated lakes, and lake level management rules for the two regulated lakes.

1. General context of the data set "lsUDPs"
The data set "lsUDPs" has been generated as part of the CONCUR research project (https://www.wsl.ch/en/projects/concur.html) led by Dr. Anna M. Hersperger and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (ERC TBS Consolidator Grant (ID: BSCGIO 157789) for the period 2016-2020. The CONCUR research project is interdisciplinary and aims to develop a scientific basis for adequately integrating spatial policies (in this case, strategic spatial plans) into quantitative land-change modelling approaches at the urban regional level. The first stage (2016-2017) of the CONCUR project focussed on 21 urban regions in Western Europe. The urban regions were selected through a multi-stage strategy for empirical research (see Hersperger, A. M., Grădinaru, S., Oliveira, E., Pagliarin, S., & Palka, G. (2019). Understanding strategic spatial planning to effectively guide development of urban regions. Cities, 94, 96–105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2019.05.032 ).
2. Background and aims of the study using the data set lsUDPs
As part of the CONCUR project, a specific task was to examine the relationship between strategic spatial plans and the formulation and implementation (i.e. urban land change) of large-scale urban development projects in Western Europe.
Strategic urban projects are typically large-scale, prominent urban transformations implemented locally with the aim to stimulate urban growth, for instance in the form of urban renewals of deprived neighborhoods, waterfront renewals and transport infrastructures. While strategic urban projects are referred to in the literature with multiple terms, in the CONCOR project we call them large-scale urban development projects (lsUDPs).
Previous studies acknowledged both local and supra-local (or structural) factors impacting the context-specific implementation of lsUDPs. Local governance factors, such as institutional capacity, coordination among public and private actors and political leadership, intertwine with supra-local conditions, such as state re-scaling processes and devolution of state competencies in spatial planning, de-industrialisation and increasing social inequality. Hence, in implementing lsUDPs, multi-scalar factors act in combination.
Because the formulation and implementation of lsUDPs require multi-scalar coordination among coalitions of public and private actors over an extended period of time, they are generally linked to strategic spatial plans (SSPs). Strategic spatial plans convey collective visions and horizons of action negotiated among public and private actors at the local and/or regional level to steer future urban development, and can contain legally binding dispositions, but also indicative guidelines.
The key question remains as to what extent large-scale urban development projects and strategic spatial plans can be regarded as aligned. By alignment, or “concordance”, we mean that strategic projects are formulated and implemented as part of the strategic planning process (“high concordance”), or that the strategic role of projects is reconfirmed in (subsequent) strategic plans (“moderate concordance”). Lack of concordance is found when lsUDPs have been limitedly (or not at all) acknowledged in strategic spatial plans.
We assume that certain local and supra-local factors, characterising the development of the projects, foster (but not strictly “cause”) the degree of alignment between lsUPDs and SSPs. In this study, we empirically examine how, and to what extent, the concordance between 38 European large-scale urban development projects and strategic plans (outcome: CONCOR) has been enabled by five multi-scalar factors (or conditions): (i) the role of the national state (STATE), (ii) the role of (inter)national private actors (PRIVATE), (iii) the occurrence of supra-regional external events (EVENTS), (iv) the degree of transport connectivity (TRANSP), and (v) local resistance from civil society (RESIST). We adopted a (multi-data) case-based qualitative strategy for empirical research and applied the formalised procedure of within- and cross-case comparison offered by fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis appropriate for the goal of this study. Based on set theory, QCA formally integrates contextual sensitivity to case specificities (within-case knowledge) with systematic comparative analysis (across-case knowledge).
The research question the data set has been created to reply to is the following: which conditions, and combinations of conditions, enable the concordance between large-scale urban development projects and strategic spatial plans?
The conditions (“independent variables”) considered are. STATE: the set of large-scale urban projects characterized by a high degree of state intervention and support in their formulation and implementation, PRIVATE: the set of large-scale urban projects characterized by a high degree of involvement of (inter)national private actors in their formulation and implementation, EVENTS: the set of large-scale strategic projects whose formulation and implementation have been strongly affected by unforeseen international events and/or global trends, TRANSP: the set of large-scale strategic projects with a high degree of road and/or transit connectivity, and RESIST: set of large-scale strategic projects whose realization has been characterized by resistances that have substantially delayed or modified the project implementation.
The outcome (“dependent variable”) under analysis is CONCOR: the set of large-scale urban projects having a high degree of concordance/alignment/integration with strategic spatial plans
3. The data set lsUDPs
      3.1 Selection of cases and data collection
To generate the current data set on large-scale urban development projects in European urban regions (data set "lsUDPs"), we identified 35 large-scale urban development projects in a sample of the 21 Western urban regions considered in the CONCUR project (see supra, Hersperger et al. 2019): Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Lyon, Manchester, Milan, Stockholm, Stuttgart. The criteria we followed to identify the 35 large-scale urban development projects are: geographical location, size (large-scale), site (located either in the city core or in the larger urban region) and urban function (e.g. housing, transportation infrastructures, service and knowledge economic functions). Employing these criteria facilitated the selection of diverse large-scale urban development projects while still ensuring sufficient comparability.
In 2016, we performed 47 in-depth interviews with experts in urban and regional planning and large-scale strategic projects and infrastructure (i.e. academics and practitioners) about the formulation, implementation and development (1990s–2010s) of each project in each of the 9 selected urban regions. On average, each interviewee answered questions on 3.1 large-scale urban development projects. Three cases were subdivided into two cases because a clear differentiation between specific implementation stages was identified by the interviewees (expansion of the Barcelona airport, cases “bcn_airport80-90” and “bcn_airport00-16”; realisation of Lyon Part-Dieu, cases “lyo_partdieu70-90” and “lyo_partdieu00-16”; MediaCityUK, cases “man_salfordquays80-00” and “man_mediacityuk00-16”). Therefore, from the initial 35 cases, the final number of analysed cases in the lsUDPs dataset is 38.
       3.2 The data set lsUDPs: Data management and operationalisation
Interviews were fully transcribed and analysed through MAXQDA (version 12.3, VERBI GmbH, Berlin, Germany), and intercoder agreement was evaluated on a sample of nine interviews. We also compiled “synthetic case descriptions” (SCD) for each case (totalling more than 160 SCDs) to spot potential inconsistencies among interviewees’ accounts and to facilitate completion of the “calibration table” for each case (see below). An online expert survey distributed to the interviewees (response rate 78%) helped systematise the information collected during the interviews. We also consulted both academic and gray literature on the case studies to check for possible ambiguity and inconsistencies in the interview data, and to solve discrepancies between our assigned set membership scores and questionnaire values. Site visits were also carried out to retrieve additional information on the selected cases.
For each case (i.e. each of the 38 selected large-scale urban development projects), we operationalised each condition (i.e. STATE, PRIVATE, EVENTS, TRANSP, RESIST) and the outcome (CONCOR) in terms of sets, for subsequent application of Qualitative Comparative Analysis. This process is called “calibration”; we used a number of indicators for each condition to qualitatively assess each large-scale project across the conditions. The case-based qualitative assessment was then transformed into fuzzy-set membership values. Fuzzy-set membership values range from 0 to 1, and should be conceived as “fundamentally interpretative tools” that “operationalize theoretical concepts in a way that enhances the dialogue between ideas and evidence” (Ragin 2000:162, in “Fuzzy-set Social Science”. Chicago: University Press). We employed a four-value fuzzy-set scale (0, 0.33, 0.67, 1) to “quantify” into set membership scores the individual histories of cases retrieved from interview data. Only the condition TRANSP was calibrated as a crisp-set (0, 1).
The translation of qualitative case-based information into numerical fuzzy-set membership values was iteratively performed by populating a calibration table following standard practices recently emerged in QCA when dealing with qualitative (interview) data.

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.
