Sokolov post-mining ecosystems represent a unique LTER study area comprising forest and non-forest ecosystems developing after reclamation or by spontaneous revegetation on heaped overburden from brown coal mining. Several 1 ha sites are studied since 1992 (10 sites intensively and over 50 sites occasionally). Research has been focused on interactions between soil, plants and soil organisms and their role in soil formation and biogeochemical cycles restoration. Great attention has been paid to comparison of long-term development of reclaimed and non-reclaimed sites and to the effect of different tree species, types of substrates and heaping technique used during reclamation. Series of sites of known age (15–70 years) developing on similar substrate represent a great opportunity for ecological research using a chronosequence approach.

Hochjochferner (glacier) is located between the Schnalstal and the Venter valley. It extends over an area of 612 ha from the Grawandspitze (3.251 m) and the Fineilspitze (3.514 m) to the Hochjoch (2.750 m) and into the Rofen valley. The western part of the glacier was used as year-round ski area until 2012.

Dataset contains soil surface temperatures (°C) in Open Top Chamber plots (OTC) and Control plots. Data was measured on bare ground moraines of the glacier stage 1971 in 2400 m a.s.l., from 1997-2018 and ongoing with Data logger: Optic StowAway and TidBit, Onset Comp. Corp., Bourne MA

A small watershed that collects floods and run-off. The lowest place is home to a (relativity) dense Acacia savana. The slopes are completely bare. The wadi is covered with alluvium resting on a 6 m layer of red surface of late Pleistocene, which includes silt, clay and fine sand. Rainfall is 30 mm

The dataset contains information about the potential groundwater recharged, agricultural production and socio-cultural assessment of ecosystem services in Mediterranean arid landscapes of southeastern Spain.

In 1973-1976 Duelli made vegetation records of the alpine grassland at Hohe Mut mountain for her Dissertation. The data of this Dissertation have been digitalised and functioned as a basis for a comparative study within the footprints-project. The part of the footprint-project had the aim to compare the vegetation-records from Duelli at Hohe Mut (alpine grassland) with vegetation-records from 1999-2006, in regard of long-term changing vegetation developement. Original data of Duelli are presented here.

Muntatschinig (Monteschino) is a 25m x 15m grassland site (managed meadow) on 1480m. The site was first established in 2008 as a weather station and is still the most extensive of the four sites. In 2010 the University of Innsbruck installed an eddy covariance station. Nine automatic lysimeters were added to measure evapotranspiration and water use efficiency. Since 2012 a rain-out shelter system has been used for simulating spring and summer droughts. This site is one of the sites along the elevation transect used for grassland transplantation experiments.

Dataset provides information on distribution and abundance of Bucanetes githagineus at 13 localities of Southeastern Spain. Time span covered is 2003-2012 with censuses made in 2003, 2005, 2011, 2012.

Dataset contains records the breeding success of Golden and Bonelli's eagles from 2010-2014. Yearly data are included at utm grids 10x10 km (European 1950 30N datum).

Dataset provides microclimate data of pioneer sites in Obergurgl, located in Rotmoos valley as well as microclimate-data in an alpine grassland located at Schoenwieskopf. Temperatures on soil surface, under soil and air temperatures are presented. Measurments made with Datalogger (Tidbits)on glacier moraines ice free since 1858, 1923, 1971 and 2003 and on alpine grassland at Schoenwieskopf. Datalogger recorded every 15 min from 26.06.2008 to 06.10.2010
