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.

Dataset provides information about Total alkalinity (T.Alk. in meq l-1)in Lake Paione Inferiore (LPI) at different layer depths along the water column, at least twice per year (late summer/autumn) during the period 1984-2013. In total 272 records of total alkalinity recorded in LPI for the period are uploaded. Lake Paione Inferiore is a high altitude Alpine lake, located at 2002 m a.s.l. in the Bognanco Valley, Province of Verbania, Piedmont Region, Italy. The Lake has a surface area of 0.86 ha and a maximum depth of 13.5 m. and it is included in the monitoring sites of the UN-ECE Program ICP WATERS (International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes)

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 2007-2019. The soil temperature is measured continuously while the soil and the water samples are collected during the snow free season. 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.

Dataset provides information about reactive silica (in mg Si L-1) in Lake Paione Inferiore (LPI) at different layer depths along the water column within the period 2014-2020. Data are at least biannual (late summer/autumn). In total 47 records of reactive silica in the Lake for the period are uploaded. The range is from 0.065 to 1.39 mg Si L-1 (±0.153). Lake Paione Inferiore is a high altitude Alpine lake, located in the Bognanco Valley, Province of Verbania, Piedmont Region, Italy. It has a surface area of 0.86 ha and a maximum depth of 13.5 m. The lake is included in the monitoring sites of the UN-ECE Program ICP WATERS (International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes) and in the NEC-Italy network. It is also a research site of the LIFE MODERn NEC Project (LIFE20 GIE/IT/000091).

Dataset provides information about reactive silica (in mg Si L-1) in Lake Paione Superiore (LPS) at different layer depths along the water column within the period 1984-2013. Data are at least biannual (late summer/autumn). In total 283 records of reactive silica in the Lake for the period are uploaded. The range is from 0.14 to 0.82 mg Si L-1 (±0.105). Lake Paione Superiore is a high altitude Alpine lake, located in the Bognanco Valley, Piedmont Region, Italy. It has a surface area of 0.68 ha and a maximum depth of 11.5 m. The Lake is included in the monitoring sites of the UN-ECE Program ICP WATERS (International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes)

Dataset provides information about the major cations -calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium (in mg L-1) in Lake Paione Superiore (LPS) at different layer depths along the water column collected at least twice per year (late summer/autumn) within the period 2014-2020. The lake is included in the monitoring sites of the UN-ECE Program ICP WATERS (International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes) and in the NEC-Italy network. It is also a research site of the LIFE MODERn NEC Project (LIFE20 GIE/IT/000091).

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
