Mixed layer depth values for the n = 1968 modern dinocyst database extracted from the monthly climatology by de Boyer Montégut (2023)

Monthly, seasonal and annual mixed layer depth (MLD) values at the 1968 sites of the modern dinocyst database by de Vernal et al. (2020). The MLD values were extracted from the monthly climatology based on profile data of 1970-2021 by de Boyer Montégut (2023) using a density threshold of 0.03 kg/m3 with reference to 10 m depth. In order to get an MLD value that corresponds to each site, the MLD climatology products were interpolated to the previously published 1968 sites.

Effect of habitat fragmentation on reptiles in South East Asia

Fragmentation of the natural environment has contributed to major biodiversity loss in South East Asia. Reptiles represent a significant biomass and occupy important functions in our ecosystem. However, these organisms are highly sensitive to relatively minor changes in temperature and habitat alteration. In this study we will investigate the effects of habitat fragmentation and potentially climate change on agamids at several sites in Southeast Asia. We will identify the species richness of agamids, their habitat use, and their diet. By using morphometrics, we aim to correlate morphology and habitat use and diet to explore the ecological niches these lizards occupy. We will also test for microhabitat preferences and optima to understand the ecological impacts on these species caused by forest fragmentation. We hope to use this approach to lay the foundations for macro-ecological modelling proving insights into future distributions and the impact of habitat connectivity.

Trinkwassersammelstrategien im frühbronzezeitlichen Jawa (NO-Jordanien): Experimentelle Anwendungen archäologischer, speläologischer und geophysikalischer Methoden in der Identifikation und Erforschung natürlicher Zisternen

Im Umfeld der frühbronzezeitlichen befestigten Höhensiedlungen in der Basaltwüste Nordostjordaniens wurden die bislang ältesten komplexen hydraulischen Anlagen Vorderasiens entdeckt. Mit diesen Systemen wurde in den Regenzeiten der Oberflächenabfluss gesammelt, um damit Terrassengärten zu bewässern und Wasser in offenen Reservoirs zu speichern. Während das in offenen Reservoirs gespeicherte Wasser sich zum Tränken des Viehs und als Brauchwasser eignete, ist es für den menschlichen Konsum ungenießbar. Wie die Versorgung der Bewohner der befestigten Höhensiedlungen mit Trinkwasser ausgesehen hat, ist bislang nicht geklärt und soll im Rahmen dieses Projektes untersucht werden. Als eine mögliche Strategie zur Trinkwasserversorgung könnte die Nutzung von Lavahöhlen als natürliche Zisternen in Betracht gezogen werden. Solche Lavahöhlen, in denen sich zur Regenzeit Wasser sammelt, welches dort unter Sonnenlichtabschluss lange genießbar bleibt, sind an einigen Stellen in der Basaltwüste Nordostjordaniens nachgewiesen und werden teilweise auch traditionell von Beduinen zur Wasserversorgung genutzt. Die durch jüngste Raubgrabungen erfolgte Aufdeckung dreier natürlicher Kavernen unter der Siedlungsoberfläche der frühbronzezeitlichen befestigten Höhensiedlung Jawa, lieferte nun erste Hinweise auf eine mögliche Existenz von Lavahöhlen unter der Siedlungsoberfläche einer befestigten Höhensiedlung. Das Projekt verfolgt das Ziel, diese Entdeckung zu verifizieren, in dem diese Höhlen in Jawa archäospeläologisch dokumentiert und archäohydrologisch auf ihre mögliche Funktion als Trinkwasserspeicher untersucht werden. Darüber hinaus sollen für die Weiterentwicklung bzw. Anpassung geophysikalischer Methoden zur Lokalisierung von verborgenen Lavahöhlen unterschiedliche geophysikalische Methoden experimentell in Testbereichen im Umfeld der bekannten Höhlen erprobt werden, um im Erfolgsfall in einem künftigen Projekt die verbleibenden Siedlungsareale von Jawa und einige der zeitgleichen befestigten Höhensiedlungen in der jordanischen Basaltwüste auf vergleichbare natürliche Zisternen hin zu untersuchen. Da die Kontrolle von Trinkwasserreservoirs in einer solchen ariden Region auch in der Frühbronzezeit einen erheblichen strategischen Vorteil bot, war sie möglicherweise eine Hauptursache für die Errichtung von Fortifikationen an diesen Siedlungsstandorten.

Global optimized REVEALS reconstruction of past vegetation cover for taxonomically harmonized pollen data sets

This data set presents the reconstructed vegetation cover for 3083 sites based on harmonized pollen data from the data set LegacyPollen 2.0 (https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.965907) and optimized RPP values. 1115 sites are located in North America, 1435 in Europe, and 533 in Asia. Sugita's REVEALS model (2007) was applied to all pollen records using REVEALSinR from the DISQOVER package (Theuerkauf et al. 2016). Pollen counts were translated into vegetation cover by taking into account taxon-specific pollen productivity and fall speed. Additionally, relevant source areas of pollen were also calculated using the aforementioned taxon-specific parameters and a gaussian plume model for deposition and dispersal. In this optimized reconstruction, relative pollen productivity estimates for the ten most common taxa were first optimized by using reconstructed tree cover from modern pollen samples and LANDSAT remotely sensed tree cover (Townshend 2016) for North America, Europe, and Asia. Values for non-optimized taxa for relative pollen productivity and fall speed were taken from the synthesis from Wiezcorek and Herzschuh (2020). The average values from all Northern Hemisphere values were used where taxon-specific continental values were not available. We present tables with optimized reconstructed vegetation cover for all Europe, North America and Asia. As further details we list a table with the taxon-specific parameters used and a list of parameters adjusted in the default version of REVEALSinR.

REVEALS reconstruction of past vegetation cover with optimized RPP values for European samples

This data set presents the reconstructed vegetation cover for 1451 European sites based on harmonized pollen data from the data set LegacyPollen 2.0 and optimized RPP values. Sugita's REVEALS model (2007) was applied to all pollen records using REVEALSinR from the DISQOVER package (Theuerkauf et al. 2016). Pollen counts were translated into vegetation cover by taking into account taxon-specific pollen productivity and fall speed.

In this optimized reconstruction, relative pollen productivity estimates for the ten most common taxa were first optimized by using reconstructed tree cover from modern pollen samples and LANDSAT remotely sensed tree cover (Sexton et al. 2013) for Europe. Values for non-optimized taxa for relative pollen productivity and fall speed were taken from the synthesis from Wiezcorek and Herzschuh (2020). The average values from all Northern Hemisphere values were used where taxon-specific continental values were not available. We present tables with optimized reconstructed vegetation cover for all records in Europe. As further details we list a table with the taxon-specific parameters used and a list of parameters adjusted in the default version of REVEALSinR.

MIN4EU LGRB-BW: mining sites - harmonized dataset

Since the end of the 1980ies the geological, areal and production data of operating mining sites have been collected systematically by LGRB. The periodic update of this information is carried out every four or five years. Main reasons are 1) the preparation of the periodic follow-up of the 12 regional development plans, 2) the work on the near-surface mineral raw material maps published by LGRB, and 3) the periodical editing of the state report for near-surface mineral raw materials published by LGRB at the start of each new election period. The geological data include a detailed documentation of the thickness, petrography and quality of mined rock(s) and the overburden as well as geochemical data gained from rock samples. The areal data refer both to the permitted mining area (zones of recultivation, work and expansion) and to possible areas for the mine expansion (the latter are confidential). Due to the quick spatiotemporal variability of these data, here all mining sites are shown as point data. The confidential annual production data are the basis for the periodic raw material report. In addition, another data are collected, e.g. for the mining permission, the delivery area and the subsequent land use. All these data are stored in the mining site database of the LGRB (Rohstoffgewinnungs-stellendatenbank = RGDB). This one comprises also the data for abandoned mining sites and mines. In total, actual (2021) about 14.000 data records are stored. The name of each mining site (e.g. RG 6826-3) consists of three parts. RG is the abbreviation for "Rohstoffgewinnungsstelle". the following four-digit number means the number of the relevant topographic map 1 : 25.000. The last number means the serial number of the mining site; serial numbers 1-99 mark operating mining sites gathered since the end of the 1980ies ( (today partially already closed) , such > 100 mark abandoned mining sites collected before 1980 and such > 300 mark data of mining sites and mines collected in the course of actual raw material mapping. The mintell4eu data set comprises all mining sites with serial numbers 1-99. In addition, the most important abandoned mines of former or probably still ongoing economic importance.

Glacial landforms in the region formerly occupied by the Haslach glacier, southern Black Forest, south-west Germany

This dataset contains ESRI shapefiles of mapped glacial landforms, i.e., initial cirques, cirques, moraines, and moraine crests in the region formerly occupied by the former Haslach glacier in the southern Black Forest (48° N, 8° E WGS 1984), south-west Germany. The last glaciation maximum ice extent of the former Haslach glacier, inferred from ice-marginal moraines, is also provided. Geomorphological mapping was undertaken for the selection of suitable sites for beryllium-10 surface exposure dating of moraine-boulder surfaces for the establishment of a regional glacier chronology. The mapping of glacial landforms in the region formerly occupied by the former Haslach glacier in the southern Black Forest involved the interpretation of derivatives of the high-resolution DGM1 digital elevation model (xy-resolution: 1 m) of the State Agency for Geoinformation and Land Development (LGL) of the state of Baden-Württemberg, freely available at: https://opengeodata.lgl-bw.de/#/(sidenav:product/3) (last access: 6 February 2025), coupled with extensive field campaigns in 2020-2022 CE. To achieve the greatest possible accuracy during the mapping of glacial landforms, exposures were inspected, if available. The shapefiles can be opened with open-source geographic information system software. The coordinate reference system of the shapefiles is EPSG 25832: ETRS89 / UTM Zone 32N (https://epsg.io/25832, last access: 6 February 2025).

Ready-to-use version of the Eurasian Modern Pollen Database version 2, with 90 pollen taxa and 7634 sites

Ready-to-use version of the Eurasian Modern Pollen Database version 2 (EMPD2; Davis et al., 2020; Chevalier et al., 2019) that includes 90 taxa and 7634 modern pollen samples with pollen sums (excluding Pinus) higher or equal to 100 pollen grains (Tables 1 to 6). Table 7 contains 394 additional sites with pollen sums less than 100 pollen grains when excluding Pinus but higher or equal to 100 pollen grains when Pinus is included. Users can merge Tables 1 and 7 (8028 modern pollen samples) if they consider pollen sums (including Pinus) equal or higher than 100 pollen grains sufficient for accurate reconstructions. This ready-to-use version of the EMPD2 was initially built to do paleoclimatic reconstructions for Southern Europe. For users willing to do paleoclimate reconstructions in regions that may need to re-include some of the taxa that were removed, the intermediate version containing all the counts for the 840 initial taxa and the first grouping to 192 taxa is also available as Table 8.

Mixed layer depth values for the n = 1968 modern dinocyst database extracted from the World Ocean Atlas 2018, Argo floats data 2005-2017

Monthly, seasonal and annual mixed layer depth (MLD) values at the 1968 sites of the modern dinocyst database by de Vernal et al. (2020). The MLD values were extracted from the World Ocean Atlas 2018 (WOA18) objectively analyzed mean field of Argo floats data of 2005-2017 using a density threshold of 0.125 kg/m3 with reference to 10 m depth. In order to get an MLD value that corresponds to each site, the MLD climatology products were interpolated to the previously published 1968 sites.
