Environmental DNA complements scientific trawling in surveys of marine fish biodiversity (Dataset 2019)
In October 2019 we chose 15 sites from the 2019 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. 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)

Wood samples stem from Larix sibirica collected in the Yamal region, northeastern Siberia, Russia. We investigated wood properties of living trees and subfossil wood buried in riverbank sediments, dated to approximately -2760 to -2600 BCE. Our goal was to evaluate the integrity of climate proxies in sub-fossil wood and develop practical methods to detect wood degradation when reconstructing Late Holocene and Common Era climate conditions using tree-ring data.

Transport infrastructure such as **highways** are important corridors for the spread of invasive species. In this project, an automated detection and mapping of **two invasive alien plant species**  was developed and applied along highways in the **Swiss Central Plateau**, based on **artificial intelligence (AI, Deep Learning)**. The two target species are **tree of heaven *(Ailanthus altissima)*** and **narrow-leaved ragwort *(Senecio inaequidens)***.
The data is part of the project report and shows the mapping results in **interactive maps**. Technically speaking, these are **self-contained HTML files** that can be displayed with standard web browsers. To reduce the file size, the downloads are provided in zip format.

stemflow-lwf

en:
Stemflow (portion of precipitation running down the branches and the trunk and depositing at the base of the tree) can represent a substantial fraction of the total water and nutrient input in stands of smoothbarked species with upright branches. Stemflow was measured with silicone gutters installed on the trunk of 5 trees at three LWF plots during 1-2 years. High capacity containers were used at Novaggio. An automated tipping bucket system, allowing continuous recording of volumes and sampling of representative proportional fraction, is currentlx used at the LWF sites Laegeren, Lausanne, Othmarsingen and Schänis.
 Purpose:
To quantify the contribution of stemflow to the water and nutrient budget and to the atmospheric deposition in selected forests stands.

en:
Throughfall (precipitation under forest canopy) is a major pathway in forest nutrient cycling, and its quantification is necessary to establish both water and nutrient budgets. Furthermore, parallel sampling of throughfall and precipitation in the open field (bulk precipitation), together with assumptions about the canopy exchange processes (uptake and leaching of nutrients), allow the atmospheric deposition of nutrients and pollutants to be quantifed. Bulk precipitation and throughfall have been sampled since 1994 or later on 15 LWF plots using 3 (in the open) and 16 (in the forest) funnel-type precipitation collectors. These collectors are replaced by 1 (open area) and 4 (forest stand) snow buckets in winter on plots with abundant precipitation in the form of snow. The length of sampling intervals is usually 14 days.
 Purpose:
To assess a major flux of the water and nutrient budget in forests, and to quantify the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen, sulphur and other nutrients. Atmospheric deposition is one of the key factors in the causal chain between emission of air pollutants and acidifying or eutrophying effects in forest ecosystems.

leaf-area-index-lai-lwf

en:
Leaf area index (LAI), defined as the total one-sided foliage area per unit ground surface area, is one of the most important characteristics of plant canopy structure. Leaves are the active interface between the atmosphere and the ecosystem. Thus, LAI affects many ecosystem processes, including light and precipitation interception, evapotranspiration, CO2 fluxes and dry deposition. LAI was measured repeatedly in the period 1996-2013 at 18 LWF plots using 1) a LAI-2000 plant canopy analyser (Licor, Inc) and 2) hemispherical photographs of the canopy. Measurements were performed above the 16 vegetation quadrats in the 43 m x 43 m intensive monitoring subplot. In 1996-2003, LAI measurements were usually carried out on the same day as the vegetation surveys. It is also planned to characterise the potential light conditions (diffuse and direct) using the hemispherical photographs of the canopy.
 Purpose:
1) To estimate an important structural parameter of the forest stand, which is needed as an input variable in most ecosystem process models simulating carbon and water cycles on a stand or regional scale; and 2) to document changes in the canopy structure, and thus in light conditions, which may be responsible for changes in ground vegetation

Ground vegetation is an important compartment of the ecosystem in terms of biodiversity and it takes an active part in the general functioning of the ecosystem. It is also a useful bio-indicator of the site conditions and its monitoring may enable the detection of environmental changes. Ground vegetation relevés were carried out repeatedly at 17 LWF plots during in the the period between 1994 and 2011. In 2013, ground vegetation was surveyed at an additional LWF plot (Laegeren). The cover of all plant species occurring in 16 1-m2 quadrats, distributed over the 43 x 43 m intensive monitoring subplot was visually assessed. Seedlings and saplings were also counted and their position within the quadrat was noted in order to assess tree regeneration.
 Purpose:
To assess the species diversity of ground vegetation and detect possible environmental changes using its bio-indicator value.

litterfall-lwf

en:
Litterfall is a key parameter in the biogeochemical cycle of forest ecosystems, linking the tree part to the soil compartment. Litterfall has been collected on 15 LWF plots using 10 traps that are emptied every 4 to 8 weeks since 1996 or later. Both the biomass of the litter and its chemical content (including heavy metals) are measured, in order to quantify the annual return of nutrients and organic matter to the soil. Furthermore, the analysis of the temporal pattern of litterfall production gives insight into possible effects of anthropogenic and natural factors (e.g. severe drought) on the ecosystem and the vitality of the forest stand, provides information on the phenological development of the stand, and, in particular, allows mast years to be identified. At 7 broadleaved sites, litterfall was also used to estimate the leaf area index (LAI) of the forest stand.
 Purpose:
To quantify the annual return of nutrients and organic matter to the soil.

Measuring air pollutants in forests is important for evaluating the risk for vegetation in areas not covered by conventional air quality monitoring networks. Ozone-induced symptoms are being assessed at LWF, applying the harmonized methodologies from UNECE/ICP Forests and running under the 1999 Gothenburg Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone. Data are also collected on ozone concentrations and other ecosystem properties such as tree growth, nutrition, and biodiversity, as well as climate. This makes this long-term monitoring data series essential for impact assessment and air pollution modelling.
 Purpose:
Ozone risk assessment, i.e. to investigate relationships between ozone exposures and ozone-induced, visible symptoms

Assessment of several chemical soil parameters at the beginning of the monitoring campaign. Most parameters were determined accordung to the manual of ICP-Integrated-Monitoring. The parameters were analysed for all genetic horizons in soil pits and additionally for fixed layers in the Intensive-Monitoring-Plots. In heterogeneous LWF-plots, several soil pits were analysed in order to assess the soil variability of the plot. The manual (in German) for soil sampling and soil analyses is available in www: http://e-collection.ethbib.ethz.ch/view/eth:25622?q=walthert. The results and data of the first soil survey are available (in German) in www: http://e-collection.ethbib.ethz.ch/view/eth:26275?q=walthert.
 Purpose:
The chemical characterisation of soil matrix down to the paraent material is realised with data from soil pits. The monitoring of the soil matrix in a frequency of roundly 15 years is effected with soil samples from Intensiv-Monitoring-Plots. For soil monitoring, pooled samples with 16 replicats are used down to a depth of 80 cm. The date of the second soil survey is not yet fixed.

Description of several morphological soil properties at the beginning of the monitoring campaign. The properties were described for all genetic horizons in soil pits if possible down to the parent material. In heterogeneous LWF-plots, several soil profiles were described in order to assess the soil variability of the plot. The manual (in German) for soil sampling and soil analyses is available in www: http://e-collection.ethbib.ethz.ch/view/eth:25622?q=walthert. The results and data of the first soil survey are available (in German) in www: http://e-collection.ethbib.ethz.ch/view/eth:26275?q=walthert.
 Purpose:
Morphological soil properties are important for the calculation or interpretation of chemical or physical soil properties or processes. For instance, root distribution is an important input-parameter of water balance models or soil hydromorphy strongly affects the chemical status of soil matrix and soil solution.

Two stem core samples of 12 to 20 trees outside the plot of each main species in the plot were taken at breast height (1.3 m above ground) with a SUUNTO corer. Tree ring width and density were determined with the instruments CATRAS and TSAP, the Densitometer DENDRO 2003 and a stereo-microscope. The selected trees included at least 12 pre-dominant or dominant trees and if possible also 4 subdominant or surpressed trees. NOTE: The samplings were carried out between 1996 and 1999 for most plots and in 2003 for the plot Lantsch. The cores cover a time span depending on the age of the oldest trees on a plot. On one plot the oldest sampled tree ring grew in the year 1646.

foliar-analyses-lwf

en:
Foliage has been sampled every two years since 1995/1997 on 5-6 trees of the main  species on all LWF plots. Concentrations of macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S), carbon (C) and micronutrients are determined on leaves and current and previous year needles. The dry mass of 100 leaves or 1000 needles is determined as well.
 Purpose:
To assess the nutrient status of the forest stands and detect possible deficiencies or imbalances, which are often indicative of processes at the ecosystem level.

NH&8323; concentrations were measured at 11 LWF plots (1999/2000) with Zürcher passive samplers (Palmes-type diffusion tubes with an acidic solution as absorbent) during one year. Three samplers per site and period (usually 14 days) were installed in the open area of the LWF plots and, at Beatenberg, Novaggio and Vordemwald, under the forest as well (weather station). In 2014, NH&8323; concentrations were measured again at 14 plots, using two Radiello samplers per site and period (usually 28 days). At Lausanne and Vordemwald, concentrations were also measured below the canopy.
 Purpose:
To assess air concentrations of ammonia (NH&8323;) and, using deposition velocities available from the literature, to quantify the dry deposition of NH&8323; (alternative method to the throughfall method). The LWF plots were part of a larger network covering the main regions of Switzerland. One objective of this larger network was to compare measured and modelled concentrations.

This dataset includes species lists of bryophytes and macrolichens (presence/absence) sampled on the forest floor and on trees in disturbed and undisturbed plots along elevation gradients in the laurel forests of Madeira island. It also contains species specific information (bryophytes: red list status, endemic status, taxonomic group, life strategy; macrolichens: photobiont type, growth form) as well as plot information (Plot_ID, sampling date, coordinates, elevation a.s.l. (m), disturbance type, sampled host tree species).
The dataset was used for the paper
Boch S, Martins A, Ruas S, Fontinha S, Carvalho P, Reis F, Bergamini A, Sim-Sim M (2019) Bryophyte and macrolichen diversity show contrasting elevation relationships and are negatively affected by disturbances in laurel forests of Madeira island. Journal of Vegetation Science 30: 1122–1133.
The excel file contains 5 sheets:
1) Plot information
2) Bryophyte data with species specific information, separated per substrate
3) Macrolichen data with species specific information, separated per substrate
4) Bryophyte data with species specific information (plot level data). Species lists of the two substrates were merged; if one substrate in a plot hosted a species identified only to genus level (genus spec.) but the second investigated substrate hosted an identified species of the same genus, we removed the genus spec. entry in the particular plot. The species list of sheet 2 and 4 might therefore differ slightly.
5) Macrolichen data with species specific information (plot level data). Species lists of the two substrates were merged; if one substrate in a plot hosted a species identified only to genus level (genus spec.) but the second investigated substrate hosted an identified species of the same genus, we removed the genus spec. entry in the particular plot. The species list of sheet 3 and 5 might therefore differ slightly.
