Amphibian observation and pond data (Aargau, Switzerland)
In the canton of Aargau, hundreds of new ponds have been constructed since the 1990s to benefit declining amphibian populations. This dataset consists of monitoring data for all 12 pond-b...
An ice oxygen K-edge NEXAFS spectroscopy data set on gas-phase processing
Data are compiled that have been used to demonstrate the impact of high water partial pressure on X-ray absorption spectra of ice.
Angle of repose experiments with natural and spherical snow
Angle of repose experiments were performed with different snow types at temperatures between -2 and -40°C. They were used to examine granular snow dynamics on the grain-scale with focus ...
Antarctic sea-ice freshwater fluxes associated with freezing, transport, and melting
This data set provides estimates of annual fresh water fluxes related to sea-ice formation from ocean freezing and snow-ice formation, sea-ice melting, lateral transport of sea ice in the...
Anthropogenic change and soil net N mineralization
This dataset contains all data on which the following publication below is based. Paper Citation: Risch Anita C., Zimmermann, Stefan, Moser, Barbara, Schütz, Martin, Hagedorn, Frank, Firn...
Application of CRISPR-Dx and metabarcoding to catchment-level eDNA for terrestrial mammal detection
General description Data associated with the publication "CRISPR-Dx and metabarcoding perform similarly for monitoring mammals with eDNA on the catchment level in high-alpine ecosystems"....
Arthropod biomass, abundance and species richness trends over 32 years in the agricultural Limpach valley, Switzerland
Recent publications about declines in arthropod biomass, abundance and species diversity raise concerns and call for measures. Agricultural intensification is likely one cause for the neg...
Assessing ecosystem state with environmental DNA of aquatic insects
Data associated to the publication "Environmental DNA sequences from aquatic insects indicate freshwater ecosystem state" Authors: Flurin Leugger, Martina Lüthi, Meret Jucker, Virginie M...
Assessing the impacts of climate change on snow avalanche-induced risk in alpine regions
By using hazard scenarios based on CH2018 climate projections and the RAMMS avalanche model, we generated large-scale hazard indication maps for future avalanche hazards. By employing the...
Assessment of thermal stabilisation measures based on numerical simulations at a Swiss Alpine permafrost site
This work presents the numerical study of the thermal stabilisation methods to slow this permafrost thawing, protecting from landscapes and infrastructure damaging at an alpine site. We i...
ATLFISHREF A 12S mitochondrial reference dataset for metabarcoding Atlantic Fishes frequently caught during scientific surveys in the Bay of Biscay
The global biodiversity crisis driven by anthropogenic pressures significantly threatens marine ecosystems functioning. The rate of climate change and the impacts of anthropogenic pressur...
Atmospheric deposition (throughfall and bulk deposition) LWF
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. Furthermor...
Automated Avalanche Release Area (PRA) Delineation Davos
This dataset contains the output and reference data published in the paper "Automated snow avalanche release area delineation - validation of existing algorithms and proposition of a new ...
Automated detection of invasive alien plants along highways
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...
Automated point dendrometer measurements at LWF sites
Continuous stem radius measurements to investigate carbon balance and water relations of trees Purpose: Assessment of growth and water related stem changes
Automatic detection of avalanches
This dataset contains the results obtained by an automatic classification using hidden Markov models of a continuous seismic dataset. To avoid long computational times, we reduced the sei...
Avalanche fatalities in the European Alps (1969/1970 - 2014/2015)
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 consider...

Backward Trajectories
Backward trajectories were calculated from two positions: Davos Wolfgang (LON: 9.85361, LAT: 46.83551) and Weissfluhjoch (LON: 9.80646 LAT: 46.83304) for the time period February 2 until ...
Base cation dynamics in an Oriental beech forest
Throughfall, litterflow and soil solution were sampled during one whole year under five Oriental beech trees in a mixed Hyrcanian beech forest. The amounts of Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+ in th...
Bats in beaver systems
This dataset contains processed bat acoustic data collected to evaluate the ecological impacts of beaver-engineered ponds on bat species richness, activity, and feeding activity. It inclu...
Beatenberg, Switzerland: Long-term forest meteorological data from the Long-term Forest Ecosystem Research Programme (LWF), from 1997 onwards
