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.

Temp. data 2000-2017

Aerosol data - from Avdat LTER site - Israel. Located in the Negev Highland

The data is for the Braila Islands LTSER site (LTER_EU_RO_006), for the following chemical parameters : NH4N, NO3N, NO2N, Ntot, SS, PH, OM, HH, PO4P, Ptot, for the years 2006, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013

Meteorological data for Neajlov LTSER site was recorded at Videle station for the period 2000-2016. Chemical parameters (June 2012 - June 2013) correspond to 3 sampling points located in Neajlov catchment. Plant species composition was compiled in 2012

Water temperature of Lake Bidighinzu in the water column from 1978 to 2015.

The dataset contains records of the Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) and other nocturnal birds of prey (Aves) collected in the lower valley of River Sabor (NE Portugal), in the scope of the long-term Ecological Monitoring Program (PME) of the Baixo Sabor Hydroelectric Dams (AHBS), promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A. A total of 32 acoustic sampling points was established along the lower Sabor river valley and in its main tributaries, which were visited each year in the peak of the species' breeding season (February) from 2010 to 2014. Data contains a total of 19 observation events of Bubo bubo (17) and Strix aluco (4).

Dataset provides phytoplankton densities recorded in Lake Santo Parmense on one date in may 1990. Samples were collected by means of a Ruttner bottle at different depths over the whole water column at the point of maximum depth of the lake. An integrated sample was subsequently obtained by combining equal proportions of samples collected at the various depths and phytoplankton were identified and counted with an inverted microscope according to Utermöhl (1958).

The dataset contains records of Fishes (Pisces) collected in the River Sabor (NE Portugal) in 2012-2020, in the scope of a study aiming to understand the temporal dynamics of fish communities in relation to natural and anthropogenics drivers in a Mediterranean watershed. The study is part of research carried out at the Long Term Ecological Research Site (LTER) of Baixo Sabor (lter_eu_pt_002; https://deims.org/45722713-80e3-4387-a47b-82c97a6ef62b). The dataset includes data on fish communities obtained through electro-fishing (with restitution) at 74 sampling sites in 2012, and subsequently at 37 of these sites from 2013-2020. Until 2020, the data include a total of 27,514 records of 14 freshwater fish species. Part of these data has already been analised and published (see Ferreira et al., 2016; Mota-Ferreira et al., 2021). The dataset will be regularly updated with additional data from future sampling years.

The dataset contains monthly growth of the dominant tree species (Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica) between 1996 and 2019 in three intensive plots of LTER Zöbelboden based on weekly dendrometer measurements and forest inventory data.
