Bibliography of the long-term treeline research site Stillberg, Switzerland

Background information The Stillberg ecological treeline research site in the Swiss Alps was established in 1975, with the aim to develop ecologically, technically, and economically sustainable reforestation techniques at the treeline to reduce the risk of snow avalanches. In the course of time, additional research aspects gained importance, such as the ecology of the treeline ecotone under global change. Over almost fifty years, research at the Stillberg site combined long-term monitoring of the large-scale high-elevation afforestation with experimental manipulations simulating global change impacts. Besides providing a scientific basis and practical guidelines for high-elevation afforestation, this research has contributed to a comprehensive understanding of ecological processes in the treeline ecotone across different compartments and scales, from individual trees, non-tree vegetation and soils to whole ecosystems, in the context of global change resulting in more than 150 publications. Dataset generation We compiled a comprehensive list of scientific publications covering research at the Stillberg research site by conducting searches in the literature databases Web of Science and Google Scholar, as well as in the Digital Object Repository of the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL (DORA). We compiled all publications about the afforestation experiment, the FACE × warming experiment, the nutrient addition experiment, the G-TREE experiment, as well as other studies related to the Stillberg research site. Data description The Stillberg bibliography (Stillberg_bibliography_data_v1.csv) comprises a comprehensive list of 276 scientific publications, 91 of them published in peer-reviewed ISI journals. Currently the bibliography comprises literature about the main afforestation experiment, the FACE × warming experiment, the nutrient addition experiment, and the G-TREE experiment, as well as further publications related to the Stillberg research site that have been published until August 2023. The bibliography can be filtered for different categories, e.g., experiment, peer-review, source repository or database, and source title. The bibliography is described in a metadata file (Stillberg_bibliography_metadata_v1.csv). The bibliography along with the metadata file are provided in a ZIP-folder (Stillberg_bibliography_v1.zip).背景信息 瑞士阿尔卑斯山区的施蒂尔贝格（Stillberg）林线研究站点始建于1975年，其设立初衷为研发林线区域生态、技术与经济可持续的造林技术，以降低雪崩风险。随着研究推进，更多研究方向逐渐获得重视，例如全球变化背景下林线交错带的生态学特征。近五十年来，该站点的研究将大规模高海拔造林长期监测与模拟全球变化影响的实验操控相结合。本研究不仅为高海拔造林提供了科学依据与实践指南，还在全球变化的研究框架下，从单株树木、非树木植被、土壤直至整个生态系统的不同组分与尺度层面，推动了对林线交错带生态过程的全面认知，相关成果累计发表超过150篇学术论文。 数据集构建 本研究通过在Web of Science、Google Scholar两大文献数据库，以及瑞士联邦森林、雪与景观研究所（WSL）的数字对象仓储库（DORA）中开展检索，整理得到一套覆盖施蒂尔贝格研究站点相关研究的完整学术文献列表。本次收录涵盖所有与该站点造林实验、FACE×增温实验、养分添加实验、G-TREE实验相关的文献，以及其他与施蒂尔贝格研究站点相关的研究成果。 数据概况 施蒂尔贝格文献库数据集（Stillberg_bibliography_data_v1.csv）共计收录276篇学术文献，其中91篇发表于经同行评议的ISI期刊。截至2023年8月，该文献库包含核心造林实验、FACE×增温实验、养分添加实验、G-TREE实验相关文献，以及其他与施蒂尔贝格研究站点相关的已发表成果。 该文献库支持按实验类型、同行评议状态、来源仓储库/数据库、来源期刊标题等不同类别进行筛选。配套元数据文件（Stillberg_bibliography_metadata_v1.csv）对该文献库进行了详细说明。本数据集与元数据文件打包存储于压缩文件夹Stillberg_bibliography_v1.zip中。
