Temperature (daily average, maximum and minimum) from site LTER-EU_SK_004 Jalovecka dolina for period 2003-2017. Data are from station in Mt. Salatin, 1875 m a.s.l. The climatic station is located in short-grass, acid alpine grassland.

Diaspores data (seed no., seed weight) of different species in different sites of Obergurgl are presented, in context to grazing and grazing-exclosure in subalpine and alpine grassland as well as in fens. Along an altitudinal gradient, permanent plots with size of 1 m² were recorded. Sites contain grazed (Co) and ungrazed (Ex) permanent plots. Ex = Exclosure site (ungrazed plots, plots within fences to exclosure grazing), Co = Control site (grazed plots, plots outside the fences). Fences and permanent plots were established in 2000. Data from recording year 2009 are presented. Grazing animals are sheep and horses. Data have been used for further analysis for the research center Berglandwirtschaft, Innsbruck.

Precipitation (daily sum) from site LTER-EU_SK_004 Jalovecka dolina for period 2013-2017. Data are from station in Mt. Salatín, 1875 m a.s.l. The climatic station is located in shortgrass, acid alpine grassland.

Temperature (daily average) and precipitation (daily sum) from site LTER-EU_SK_005 Polana Biosphere Reserve (Hukavsky grun) for period 2011-2017. Data are from meadow inside mixed beech forest at altitude 840 m.

In the Biosphere Reserve Gurgler Kamm near Obergurgl (Central Alps, Tyrol, Austria) multi factorial experiments were carried out in the lower alpine zone from 2005 to 2007 to investigate the effects of simulated trampling, seed addition, and a combination of these two treatments. Permanent plots of 1 m² were established within (= exclosures) and outside (= controls) of fences at three peat bog sites and in a Nardus stricta-community at about 2300 m a.s.l. In autumn 2005 the following treatments were performed in the exclosures and controls, respectively: - artificial gap creation, - sowing of seeds collected in the study area and in the surrounding, - a combination of gaps x sowing.

Temperature and precipitation from the site Kralova hola for period 2015-2018. The automatic climatic station is located in the acid alpine grassland.
