The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the building of hydroelectric dams along the Rhône River in France in the first instance and to evaluate the effect on aquatic communities, especially fish communities, of the increase of minimum flow in by-passed sections. Fish were collected using Electric fishing in independent habitat units (Nelva et al., 1979, Vadas and Orth, 1993). Data were collected between July and December form 1985 to 2020. The dataset includes the number of individuals sampled for each species in one station during one sampling campaign (once a year). The sampling area is indicated.

This dataset contains censuses of winter birds performed in a series of pine forest plots distributed throughout the Granada province (SE Spain). The plots are part of a monitoring network to study the phenology and intensity of defoliation by pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa), a lepidopteran that occasionally causes severe defoliation in Mediterranean pine forests. Although the initial objective is to seek for a relationship between the presence and abundance of pine processionary moth and birds that can potentially feed on it, the data can be useful for other purposes.

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.

Metadata of of long-term (2001-2022) soil temperature data of the LTER site Zöbelboden. The data can be viewed and downloaded via the link provided using the station codes ZOE_0258, ZOE_0263, ZOE_0276, ZOE_0665, ZOE_0676, ZOE_0685, ZOE_0695, ZOE_2869, ZOE_2871, ZOE_2876.

This dataset contains a long-term record of tree (Pinus sp.) defoliation by pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) in a series of pine forest plots distributed throughout the Granada province (SE Spain). The plots are part of a monitoring network, aimed to study the phenology and intensity of defoliation by this lepidopteran, that occasionally causes severe defoliation in Mediterranean pine forests. The file includes descriptive features of the plots as well as annual records of defoliation and population size.

Abundance and biomass of macrofauna taxa at observation locations FI_WELFIN_XLIV (35 m) and FI_WELFIN_XXVI (20 m) from 1966 to 2017. Data is missing for years 1980-1983 at FI_WELFIN_XLIV and for years 1975, 1982 and 1986 at FI_WELFIN_XXVI.

aquatic invertebrate data of a longterm monitoring program "acidic streams" (1985-1999), containing 5 different sampling sites, taxa recorded in abundance classes.

This data set comprises information collected in field about the monitoring of the butterfly communities of Sierra Nevada since 2008. The data set has been compiled in up to 20 different locations, where butterfly communities estimations have been carried out following the internationally standardised line transect method. The data have been collected from the months of March to October with a variable periodicity between sites and between years. Usually, the periodicity has approached a sampling every two weeks. The data collection has always been carried out in suitable climatic conditions. The community of butterflies of Sierra Nevada is of high interest at European level given the values of diversity detected. In total, 101,424 individuals belonging to 102 species and 1 subspecies have been detected, distributed among 64 genera and 5 different families. The sampled habitats include aquatic systems, autochthonous scot pine forests, high mountain grasslands, high mountain meadows, high mountain scrubland, holm oak forests, lowland crops, lowland scrublands, mid mountain grasslands, mid mountain scrubland, mountain crops, pine plantations and pyrenean oak forests.

We describe a dataset of Passerine bird communities in Sierra Nevada, a Mediterranean high-mountain located in southern Spain. The dataset includes occurrences data from bird surveys carried out in four representative ecosystem types of Sierra Nevada from 2008 to 2015. For each contact both birds number and distance to transect line were recorded. A total of 27847 occurrences records were collected and 55694 measurements recorded. All records belong to Passeriformes order. 16 families and 44 genera were collected. Most of the taxa of the dataset are included in the European Red List. This dataset belongs to the Sierra Nevada Global-Change Observatory (OBSNEV), a long-term research project designed to compile socio-ecological information on the major ecosystem types in order to identify the impacts of global change in this area.
