Countrywide vegetation height models (VHM) were generated for Switzerland based on LiDAR data acquired in the framework of the swissSURFACE3D campaign (swisstopo). To derive...

As the largest contiguous pine forest in Switzerland, the Pfyn forest in Canton Valais (46° 18' N, 7° 36' E, 615 m ASL) offers the best conditions for such measurements. In...

Climate data matching the scales at which organisms experience climatic conditions are often missing. Yet, such data on microclimatic conditions are required to better...

Decomposition of plant litter is a key process for the transfer of carbon and nutrients in ecosystems. Carbon contained in the decaying biomass is released to the atmosphere as...

The main datasets available are 4 nationwide Digital Surface Models (DSMs) and corresponding Vegetation Height Models (VHMs) with a spatial resolution of 1 m. The Vegetation...

Two raster maps (10m resolution) of: I) the most suitable extraction method for wood in the Swiss forest, and II) the overall suitability of the Swiss forest for economic wood...

Mircocosm experiment to identify the individual patterns and controls of C, N, and P mobilization in soils under beech forests. Organic and mineral horizons sampled along a...

Data from pulse-labelling experiment with 100-year old trees of a naturally dry pine forest exposed to a 15-year-long irrigation experiment. Canopies of 10 trees were labelled...

This dataset contains open vector data for railways, forests and power lines, as well an open digital elevation model (DEM) for a small area around a sample forest range in...

The data results from a questionnaire survey conducted at 8 schools in the cantons Zurich, Aargau and St. Gallen. Respondents aged 13-22 years. The aim of the survey was to gain...

Lebensraumkarte der Schweiz/La carte des milieux naturels de Suisse The FOEN funded project ‘Developing a Habitat Map of Switzerland’ conducted at the WSL, has produced a map of...

In 2013, the Institute for Applied Plant Biology (IAP) started a monitoring programme to study the development and the spatial variation of the ash dieback disease with the aim...

Data obtained in the free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiment at Hofstetten, NW Switzerland, between 2009 and 2016. This dataset contains analyses of the soil solution...

Simulated net primary productivity (NPP) anomalies (percent deviation) in 1961-2018 years relative to the 1961–1990 reference period for Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica. NPP was...

This dataset comprised 254 historical (1937 – 1948) and resurveyed (2019 – 2022) vegetation relevés of beech-dominated forests sites in the Swiss Jura mountains. The data...

Data from a 17-year-long irrigation experiment (Pfynwald, Switzerland) in a naturally dry forest dominated by 100-year-old pine trees (Pinus sylvestris). Data include: (1)...

We used 2071 forest soil profiles to model a wide range of soil properties for the forested area of Switzerland. The spatial prediction is based on the principle of «digital...

We have analysed past transformations in Switzerland in four environmental domains, with the aim to draw conclusions for current challenges, such as the net‐zero transformation....

Two versions of the data are currently available: 2018 and 2016. The 2018 version presents a remote sensing-based approach for a countrywide mapping of the dominant leave type...

Scolytidae data from all historic up to the recent projects (29.10.2019) of WSL, collected with various methods in forests of different types. Data are provided on request to...
