Historical Vegetation Height Model NFI
The main datasets available are 4 nationwide Digital Surface Models (DSMs) and corresponding Vegetation Height Models (VHMs) with a spatial resolution of 1 m. The Vegetation... -
Sentinel-2 time series of Switzerland
We processed Sentinel-2 image time series from 2017 to 2023 for Switzerland with the Software FORCE (Frantz 2019) on the basis of Sentinel-2 images. The respective parameter... -
Sentinel-2 imagery of Switzerland
We processed Sentinel-2 images from 2017 to 2023 for Switzerland with the Software FORCE (Frantz 2019). The respective parameter files can be found here: Github. All the images... -
Tree species profiles from Sentinel-2 time series
Tree species profiles from Sentinel-2 time series We obtained tree species-specific Sentinel-2 time series for the years 2019 and 2020. The Sentinel-2 time series originated... -
Tree species map of Switzerland
Dominant tree species map of Switzerland We created a tree species map of Switzerland for the dominant tree species in the forested areas. The spatial resolution of the map is... -
Grassland-use intensity maps for Switzerland
A rule-based algorithm (Schwieder et al., 2022) was used to produce annual maps for 2018–2021 of grassland-management events, i.e. mowing and/or grazing, for Switzerland using... -
Vegetation Height Model NFI
A national vegetation height model was calculated for Switzerland using digital aerial images. We used the stereo aerial images acquired by the Federal Office of Topography... -
Oriental and European beech spectral, traits and genetics data
The dataset includes leaf spectroscopy, leaf traits and genetic data for oriental and european beech trees at two mature forest sites (Allenwiller in France and Wäldi in... -
Ramerenwald Close Range Remote Sensing Benchmark
Close Range Remote Sensing Benchmark for different LiDAR and photogrammetric Sensors in a mixed temperate forest. Benchmarks are needed to evaluate the performance of different... -
Distribution maps of permanent grassland habitats for Switzerland
We modelled the spatial distribution of 20 permanent grassland habitats at the level of phytosociological alliances according to the Swiss habitat typology (TypoCH; Delarze et... -

Lebensraumkarte der Schweiz/La carte des milieux naturels de Suisse The FOEN funded project ‘Developing a Habitat Map of Switzerland’ conducted at the WSL, has produced a map of... -
Forest Type NFI
Two versions of the data are currently available: 2018 and 2016. The 2018 version presents a remote sensing-based approach for a countrywide mapping of the dominant leave type... -
Cropland and grassland map of Switzerland based on Sentinel-2 data
We developed a map of cropland and grassland allocation for Switzerland based on several indices dominantly derived from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery captured over multiple... -
Digitizing historical plague
We present newly digitized data on 6,929 plague outbreaks that occurred between 1347 and 1900 AD across Europe. The data base on an inventory initially published 1976. For... -

History of wetlands in Switzerland since 1850
Naturally, large parts of the Swiss Plateau are characterised by wetlands and meandering rivers. That this is no longer the case today is the result of centuries of efforts to... -
Snow Depth Mapping
The available datasets are snow depth maps with a spatial resolution of 2m generated from image matching of ADS 80/100 data. Image acquisition took place at peak of winter (time...
