Simulated avalanche problem types and seismic avalanche activity around Weissfluhjoch
Avalanche problem types were derived from snow cover simulations with the models Crocus and SNOWPACK at the Weissfluhjoch study plot, Davos, CH. The data include annual frequencies of avalanche problem types for the seasons 1999-2017 and daily presence of avalanche problem types for the period 01.01.2016 - 30.04.2016. Avalanche activity was derived from two seismic sensor arrays deployed no further than 15 km from Weissfluhjoch, Davos, CH. The data cover the period 01.01.2016 - 30.04.2016.
Dataset on PV Production in Snow Covered Mountains
Overview The SUNWELL Modelling Environment is a combination of data and code that models electricity production from satellite-derived irradiance data and other spatial data sets for all of Switzerland. This ensemble accompanies the publication "The bright side of PV production in snow-covered mountains", published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science and reproduces all results and figures of. Code and resources are in their original form (with documentation). A new version with a more generalized application to PV modelling and with more flexibility in terms of input and output formats will be released in the coming months. Format All code is written and has to be executed in Matlab. The input and output data sets are also in the Matlab-specific .mat format. Whenever publicly available, the original data is provided as geotif, .xlsx or other common format. This is the case for: - Digital Elevation Model (InputsFromMatlab/MSG/OriginalData/ASTERDEM), - Landsurface cover type (InputsFromMatlab/MSG/OriginalData/CORINE), - Population Density (InputsFromMatlab/MSG/OriginalData/popdensRaster, - Electricity production from three of our validation sites (/Validation/WSL), - Measured irradiance for two validation sites (/Validation/ASRB) The ‘Metadata’ documents in the respective folders provide further information about the data sources and processing. Figures are produced either in .pdf or .png format. Structure The central level of the SUNWELL environment holds the 5 Mains, which run the different modelling aspects of the paper; each code is documented separately. Additional code is located in the ‘DataProcessing’ and the ‘functions’ folder. Functions are called in the different Mains. ‘InputsFromMatlab’ contains the radiation and albedo input data sets in separate subfolders (SIS/SISDIR/ALB). The original data is not publicly available, but can be requested for research purposes free of charge. We provide a processed subset of the data set that was used to run the SUNWELL simulations. The MSG subfolder contains additional spatial input data sets. ‘Outputs’ contains the output files from the different mains (matching names, Main_CHallpixels.m Prod_CHallpixels) ‘Publication_figures’ contains all individual figures from the PNAS publication, as well as the generating code (/code_plot) and the power point figures (/ppts) that provide the combined final figures. ‘Validation’ contains the data sets used in the model validation: - Electricity production from three of our validation sites (/WSL), - Measured irradiance for two validation sites (/ASRB) Electricity production from a validation site at Lac des Toules in Wallis (/LDT), this data set was provided under an NDA and cannot be made publicly available.

Phosphorus and nitrogen leaching from beech forest soils
Data on dissolved organic and inorganic phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations in leachates and their corresponding fluxes from the litter layer, the Oe/Oa horizon, and the A horizon of two German beech forest sites. Leachate samples were taken in April 2018, July 2018, October 2018, Feb./Mar. 2019, and July 2019 with zero-tension lysimeters after artificial irrigation. Soil samples were taken in July 2019.

Hydraulic stress limits thermal acclimation in trees under chronic drought
Plant ecophysiological and associated environmental data for two tree species (*Fagus sylvatica* and *Quercus pubescens*) grown for five years in a factorial open-top climate chamber experiment (Model Ecosystem Facility, Birmensdorf, Switzerland) to test the long-term effects of heat (+5 °C) and soil drought (irrigation reduced by 50%). n = 4 trees per species and treatment, n = 48 trees total. Included data sheets: - Environmental_Data.csv: Chamber-level environmental recorded every 10 minutes - Tleaf.csv: Leaf temperatures recorded every 10 minutes - Gas_exchange.csv: Leaf-level gas exchange data taken diurnally on four days during the growing season - Leaf_traits.csv: Leaf functional traits - TSMs_HSMs.csv: Photosynthetic thermal tolerance and leaf water potential data, summarized also in terms of leaf thermal safety margins and hydraulic safety margins, collected 3-4 times during the growing season - Scorch.csv: Leaf-level leaf scorching data, including leaf thermal safety margins and scorching occurrence and presence, summarized by date

From Plans to Land Change: Dynamics of Urban Regions. Book of Abstracts
Book of abstracts from the virtual conference "From Plans to Land Change: Dynamics of Urban Regions" Cities and urban regions are among the most dynamic land-use systems in the world, with dramatic consequences for the provision of ecosystem services and the livelihood of people. Planning is a multifaceted activity with extensive experience in the management of these urbanization processes. However, our understanding of planning’s contribution to shaping urban land use, form and structure is still incomplete, with serious consequences for the efficacy of urban planning and land change models. This international conference aims to bring together the community of scholars working on planning evaluation and urban modelling. The participants are offered the opportunity to present their current research and to discuss how theoretical developments, data sources, comparative studies and modelling approaches might advance the field. The conference was financially supported by the CONCUR project and sustained by Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL.
In-situ soil moisture measurements Napf-region
In the context of landslide early warning research, soil moisture (e.g. volumetric soil water content and soil water potential) has been measured at six locations in the Napf-region (Emmental, central Switzerland) since April 2019. Here, we provide the hourly mean values of all sensors from all 6 locations after a comprehensive data control, filtering and aggregation (from 10-min to 1-hour values). A sub-set of these data (for the locations Wasen i.E.) has previously been published in envidat.ch at https://www.doi.org/10.16904/envidat.369 applying the same data post-processing method. The dataset is complemented with meteorological data (locally measured air temperature and precipitation) as well as soil temperature. A detailed description of the sites and measurement installations can be found in a separate report (attached with the data).
Beetle communities reared from beech branches and associated forest and environmental variables
The data was generated during a landscape experiment performed on 69 plots in Sihlwald forest between 2016 and 2019. Branch bundles of different sizes consisting of beech branches were exposed in the forest for one year to be colonized by saproxylic beetles and later reared for one year in emergence traps. All beetles emerging from the branches were collected. Overall 244 branch bundles are included and we found 66 beetles species (23511 individuals) of which 43 were classified as saproxylic (20873 individuals). Species data (2 tables) Two community matrices (including abundance): one for saproxylic beetles and one for all beetles. Beetles were classfied as saproxylic following an extended list of the list reported in Schmidl & Bussler (2004). Model data (1 table) *Response variables* Species richness and abundance of (saproxylic) beetles. *Branch bundles* Branch bundles consisted of 1, 3, 6 or 12 branches and each bundle size was installed at each of the 69 plots. The bundles consisted of standardized freshly cut beech branches (Fagus sylvatica) with a length of 80 cm and a diameter between 3 and 6 cm. Total surface and volume of each bundle is reported. *Tree on which the bundle was installed* Information on the tree to which the bundles were attached (tree species, dbh, distance and azimut from the plot center). *Temperature and light availability* Temperature (plot level) and light availability (bundle level) were calculated. *Deadwood availability in the landscape* Based on a map of lying dead wood, dead wood amount and isolation were calculated for concentric circles with a radius ranging from 20 to 200 m (in 10 m steps) around each branch bundle.
