Daily precipitation and average daily temperature data series from 2010 to 2017 for the Austrian LTER Site Murau (ICP_FO_AU16)

Meteorology data provided for the H2020 eLTER project with a range from 1972 - 2018. These time series are inhomogeneous because of station relocations and changes in observation techniques. As a result, these series are not suitable for trend analysis. For climate change studies we refer to the homogenized series of monthly temperatures of De Bilt <http://www.knmi.nl/kennis-en-datacentrum/achtergrond/gehomogeniseerde-reeks-maandtemperaturen-de-bilt> or the Central Netherlands Temperature <http://www.knmi.nl/kennis-en-datacentrum/achtergrond/centraal-nederland-temperatuur-cnt>.

Water temperature data from selected UK Environmental Change Network (ECN) freshwater sites (lakes, rivers, streams). These data are collected at ECN's freshwater sites in accordance with the ECN Surface Water Chemistry & Quality protocol: http://www.ecn.ac.uk/measurements/freshwater/fwc-fwa. Surface water temperatures are recorded by hand-held thermometers at the freshwater chemistry sampling point when water samples are collected. The temporal range varies from site-to-site (earliest record from 1975, latest from 2012). ECN (www.ecn.ac.uk) is the UK's long-term environmental monitoring programme. It is a multi-agency programme sponsored by a consortium of fourteen government departments and agencies. These organisations contribute to the programme through funding either site monitoring and/or network co-ordination activities. They are: Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute, Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru - Natural Resources Wales, Defence Science & Technology Laboratory, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Environment Agency, Forestry Commission, Llywodraeth Cymru - Welsh Government, Natural England, Natural Environment Research Council, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Scottish Government and Scottish Natural Heritage. The organisations providing the data included in the file are: Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Environment Agency, James Hutton Institute, ENSIS Ltd (University College London) and Scottish Environment Protection Agency.

Daily precipitation temperature, from permanent meteorological station sited at Cuevas de Almanzora (Almería) from Agroclimatic stations from Junta de Andalucia, Andalucia, Spain.

The plant communities at the permanent plots were described. One hundred phytosociological relevés were made in the quadrates of 25m2 in size on the plot. The percentage cover of species in each layer of phytocenosis was estimated in the following scale: 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%,...,100%. This scale seems to be more precise than the more commonly used Braun-Blanquet’s scale.

Vegetation plots provided for the H2020 eLTER project collected between 1950 and 2017, though most from the period between 1990 and 2017. In total 42,227 vegetation plots were extracted from the European Vegetation Archive http://euroveg.org/eva-database (EVA). Permission was granted by WENR, B-Ware, KWR, LMF, Marcel Horsthuis, Natuurmonumenten, Groningen Province, Rijkswaterstaat (CIV, Delft) and Staatsbosbeheer. Most vegetation plots were collected in dunes and on saltmarshes.

Meteorological date for Łódź

Water temperature data for 6 locations in the Plynlimon site (eLTER site, DEIMS code EXPEER-UK-02), Mid Wales. Recorded with handheld thermometer during routine water sampling for chemical analysis. Plynlimon is at the headwaters of the Rivers Severn and Wye (Hafren and Gwy in Welsh) and currently comprises 9 instrumented catchments. Other Plynlimon hydrochemistry and spatial datasets are available at https://catalogue.ceh.ac.uk/documents/91961a0f-3158-4d00-984d-91eb1e03e8bd. Monitoring at Plynlimon is funded by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, and is ongoing since 1968.
