Dataset provides information about air temperature collected in Herdade da Ribeira Abaixo from 21th February 2014 to 4th January 2015. The temperature within this dataset was measured in intervals of 30 minutes.

The dataset contains phytosociological relevés taken according to the Braun-Blanquet method and collected in 6 permanent area of 10x10 meters of the Gran Sasso Mountain (at 2100-2200 m a.s.l.). The data collection started in 1986 and was repeated every few years. From 2008 the dataset is continuously updated every year

Stubacher Sonnblickkees (SSK) is located in the Hohe Tauern Range (Eastern Alps) in the south of Salzburg Province (Austria) in the region of Oberpinzgau in the upper Stubach Valley. The glacier is situated at the main Alpine crest and faces east, starting at elevations close to 3050 m and in the 1980s terminated at 2500 m a.s.l. It had an area of 1.7 km² at that time, compared with 1 km² in 2013. The glacier type can be classified as a slope glacier, i.e. the relief is covered by a relatively thin ice sheet and there is no regular glacier tongue. The rough subglacial topography makes for a complex shape in the surface topography, with various concave and convex patterns. Direct yearly mass balance measurements were started in 1963, first for 3 years as part of a thesis project. In 1965 the project was incorporated into the Austrian glacier measurement sites within the International Hydrological Decade (IHD) 1965 - 1974 and was afterwards extended via the International Hydrological Program (IHP) 1975 - 1981. During both periods the main financial support came from the Hydrological Survey of Austria. After 1981 funds were provided by the Hydrological Service of the Federal Government of Salzburg. The research was conducted from 1965 onwards by Heinz Slupetzky from the (former) Department of Geography of the University of Salzburg. Along with the mass balance measurement lenght variations and volumen changes where conducted repeatetly. The SSK was mapped several times on a scale of 1:5000 to 1:10000. Length variations have been measured since 1960 within the OeAV glacier length measurement programme. In recent years, the glacier has disintegrated faster, forced by the formation of a periglacial lake at the glacier terminus and also by the outcrops of rocks (typical for the slope glacier type), which have accelerated the meltdown. The formation of this lake is well documented. The glacier has retreated by some 600 m since 1981. - Since August 2002, a runoff gauge installed by the Hydrographical Service of Salzburg has recorded the discharge of the main part of SSK at the outlet of the new Unterer Eisboden See.

The dataset contains vegetation cover from 1x1 64 permanent plots along an altitudinal gradient (1722-1978 m a.s.l.) established in four summits in the northen Apennines. The plots are arranged at the four cardinal directions of each summit. The samples are collected every 5/7 years. The data are collected according to the GLORIA Multi-Summit Approach.

The aim of the master thesis was to identify the soil organic carbon content (kg/m²) as a function of land use and pedogenic parameters. Therefor soil particle size distribution, bulk density, pH, organic carbon and total nitrogen contents were measured. The dataset provides values about physical and chemical soil parameters as well as the soil organic carbon (SOC) content at different soil depths (0-10cm, 10-30cm and 0-30cm) under varying vegetation cover (grasslands and forest) and elevation at the Modelregion Stubai Valley, Austria (municipalities Neustift + Fulpmes). The samples were taken in Summer 2012 and the measurements were conducted in fall 2012. For the SOC calculations paramters from 53 sites from earlier projects were added. The dataset also contains shapefiles representing the samplings sites and the sampling point distribution. The dataset also contains sampling points from earlier and present projects where C/N, NO3, NH4, soil type and pH values were measured.

Dataset provides information about soil temperature, soil C and N dynamics at different sites in the alpine tundra, along an elevational gradient from 2500 to 2900 m asl during the period 2005-2018. The soil was sampled in triplicate in each the sites and the N-NO3 concentration is measured in soil K2SO4 extracts. The ongoing studies aimed at investigating how the meteorological variables affect the biogeochemistry of seasonally snow covered areas, with a special focus on the effect of the snow cover duration on soil and water C and N dynamics during the growing season.

Vegetational description of inner Venter-valley and outer Rofen-valley along an altitudinal gradient from 1695 m to 2865 m a.s.l. Vegetation records were made in plots according to minimum areal of Braun-Blanquet (1964) In sum, 229 vegetation records were made (one record=one plot). Also ecological indicator-values are given. Ten vegetation associations were recorded, altitude and aspect were the most important criteria for the determination of different vegetation types. GPS-data were taken from googlemaps, according to the study site given in the report (Diploma-project).

This is a spatial dataset containing polygons representing areas of vegetation mapped within the Moor House National Nature Reserve in the northern Pennines, England. The map was created by staff of The Nature Conservancy in the 1960s.

At the Biosphere Reserve Gurgler Kamm, Obergurgl, AT, three study sites were established and soil temperature was measured. Two sites are at Liebener Rippe and one at the glacier foreland moraine 2009 (ice free since 2009). On each study site (LR1, LR2, GF), 4 permanent plots were established = 12 plots all together. Additionally, vegetation records from each study site, were recorded in 2011.
