| description | This article provides a comprehensive overview of all currently available datasets of the Long-term Ecosystem Research (LTER) site Oberes Stubachtal. The site is located in the Hohe Tauern mountain range (Eastern Alps, Austria) and includes both protected areas (Hohe Tauern National Park) and unprotected areas (Stubach valley). While the main research focus of the site is on high mountains, glaciology, glacial hydrology, and biodiversity, the eLTER Whole-System Approach (WAILS) was used for data selection. This approach involves a systematic screening of all available data to assess their suitability as eLTER Standard Observations (SOs). This includes the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and sociosphere. These SOs are fundamental to the development of a comprehensive long-term ecosystem research framework. In total, more than 40 datasets have been collated for the LTER site Oberes Stubachtal and included in the Dynamic Ecological Information Management System—Site and Data Registry (DEIMS-SDR), the eLTER’s data platform. This paper provides a detailed inventory of the datasets and their primary attributes, evaluates them against the WAILS-required observation data, and offers insights into strategies for future initiatives. All datasets are made available through dedicated repositories for FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) use. |
