    Description: Abstract
    Description: The DFG Priority Program 1803 "EarthShape - Earth Surface Shaping by Biota” (www.earthshape.net) installed three meteorological stations at an elevational gradient in the National Park La Campana, Chile, in the sector Ocoa, within one catchment, that is one of the four EarthShape core research sites. They are located at a valley position, at the slope and the crest of the catchment. For reference, the valley station is neighbouring a weather station (Campbell Scientific) that the EarthShape project has installed earlier, in 2016 (Übernickel et al., 2020). The other two weather stations are installed on higher elevations. The weather stations are intended to provide baseline meteorological data along the elevational gradient within the La Campana catchment. Each station is configured to include sensors that record air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure as well as total solar radiation at 2 m height; precipitation at 1 m height. The data recording started in March 2019. This publication provides raw data as downloaded from the three stations, appended to one single *.xlsx file per station. The data is measured in 30 minutes intervals. The full description of the data and methods is provided in the data description file.

    Description: Abstract
    Description: The DFG Priority Program 1803 “EarthShape” (www.earthshape.net) investigates Earth surface shaping by biota. As part of this project, we present Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data of land surface areas for the four core research sites of the project. The research sites are located along a latitudinal gradient between ~26 °S and ~38 °S in the Chilean Coastal Cordillera. From north to south, the names of these sites are: National Park Pan de Azúcar; Private Reserve Santa Gracia; National Park La Campana; and National Park Nahuelbuta. The three datasets contain raw 3D point cloud data captured from an airborne LiDAR system, and the following derivative products: a) digital terrain models (DTM, sometimes also referred to as DEM [digital elevation model]) which are (2.5D) raster datasets created by rendering only the LiDAR returns which are assumed to be ground/bare-earth returns and b) digital surface models (DSM) which are also 2.5D raster datasets produced by rendering all the returns from the top of the Earth’s surface, including all objects and structures (e.g. buildings and vegetation). The LiDAR data were acquired in 2008 (southernmost Nahuelbuta [NAB] catchment), 2016 (central La Campana [LC] catchment) and 2020 (central Santa Gracia [SGA] catchment). Except for Nahuelbuta (data already was available from the data provider from a previous project), the flights were carried out as part of the "EarthShape" project. The LiDAR raw data (point cloud/ *.las files) were compressed, merged (as *.laz files) and projected using UTM 19 S (UTM 18 S for the southernmost Nahuelbuta catchment, respectively) and WGS84 as coordinate reference system. A complementary fourth dataset for the northernmost site in the National Park Pan de Azúcar, derived from Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flights and Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry, is expected to be obtained during the first half of 2022 and will be added to the above data set.

    Description: Abstract
    Description: We provide a globally distributed compilation of published surface temperature proxies for eight Cenozoic time periods that cover the range of paleoclimate states. The proxies have both a marine and terrestrial provenance and are compared to the annual temperature of the same location today. This data is then used to quantify long-term temperature changes on zonal and global levels. When coupled with recent estimates of atmospheric CO2 concentration, temperature data constrains the sensitivity of Earth's climate system to perturbation of the radiative balance, with possible implications for the future response to anthropogenic forcing. The dataset consists of an excel file with eight sheets for the eight selected timeslices, namely, •mid-Pliocene (3,0 - 3,3 Ma) •late Miocene (7,2 - 11,6 Ma) •mid-Miocene (14,7 - 17,0 Ma) •early Miocene (20,3 - 23,0 Ma) •early Oligocene (27,8 - 33,9 Ma) •late Eocene (33,9 - 37,8 Ma) •middle Eocene (42 - 46 Ma) •early Eocene (48 - 55 Ma)
    Description: Methods
    Description: Most data were directly adopted from the primary sources. However, a number of published datasets were recalculated from the published geochemical proxy indices using the recent Bayesian core-top calibrations BAYSPAR (Tierney & Tingley, 2015), BAYSPLINE (Tierney & Tingley, 2018), BAYFOX (Malevich et al., 2019), BAYMAG (Tierney et al., 2019) and BAYMBT (Crampton-Flood et al., 2020). These are highlighted in blue in the dataset. When more than one datapoint of a proxy is available for a given location, for example as part of a sea-surface temperature timeseries, then all datapoints falling within the bounds of our study timeslices were considered and the median was reported. Locations that are separated by less than 0.1 degrees in latitude and longitude were counted as a single locality.

    Description: Abstract
    Description: This dataset includes the first order (global) distribution of frost cracking intensities (FCI) [°C m], for selected paleoclimate time-slices during Late Cenozoic, as presented in the paper by Sharma et al. (2022). The paleoclimate time-slices correspond to Pre-Industrial (~1850 CE, PI), Mid-Holocene (~6 ka, MH), Last Glacial Maximum (~21 ka, LGM) and Pliocene (~3 Ma, PLIO). The FCI (by segregation ice growth) is predicted using the approach of Andersen et al. (2015), as a function of subsurface thermal gradient and volume of (and distance to) liquid water. The paleo-temperature reconstructions are obtained from ECHAM5 general circulation model (GCM) at T159 spatial resolution (80 km * 80 km) by Mutz et al. (2018). The spatial resolution of FCI dataset is same as ECHAM5 GCM simulations (i.e. 80 km * 80 km). The dataset comprises the following: -Scripts (Python) for modeling FCI for approach described in Sharma et al. (2022). -Global FCI distribution as netCDF and ascii formats. The data is available in both netCDF and ascii formats. However, the model code (attached Python scripts) currently supports only netCDF format. The model scripts can be freely utilized for regional and local studies which require finer resolution dataset. Please refer to the associated data description file for a detailed description of the dataset.
    Description: Methods
    Description: The model is based on the approach of Andersen et al. (2015) to estimate FCI as a function of subsurface thermal gradients up to the depth of 20 m. For segregation ice growth, it additionally considers the influence of volume of water available in the proximity of an ice lens. The boundary condition includes the presence of positive temperatures (T 〉 0 °C) at either boundary (at surface or 20 m depth). The frost cracking is supported if the bedrock temperature is in the frost cracking window (–8 °C and –3 °C). The integrated FCI each grid cell, across Earth’s terrestrial surface was calculated by depth integration of the FCI averaged over a period of 1 year. The unit of FCI data is °C m.

    Description: Abstract
    Description: The data consists of four vascular plant species lists, one per study site. The site selection is based on the four study areas of the DFG Priority Program 1803 "EarthShape - Earth Surface Shaping by Biota” (www.earthshape.net), namely: arid climate National Park Pan de Azúcar, semi-arid climate Private Reserve Santa Gracia, mediterranean climate National Park La Campana and humid-temperate climate National Park Nahuelbuta in Chile, South America. Each list is a table with (mostly) terrestrial vascular plant species names that have been reported in a variety of sources at the selected sites and the corresponding administrative or biogeographical regions of Chile. The available literature sources varied from specific national park flora lists to Chilean flora books and catalogues and thus, the present lists represent a potential vegetation for the EarthShape study areas. Each table includes the plants’ Latin name, clade taxonomy, the plant growth form as well as the origin. The taxonomy of the vegetation species was updated to the taxonomic information available up to August 2023 from Chilean and South American vascular flora lists.

    Description: Abstract
    Description: The Chilean Coastal Cordillera features a spectacular climate and vegetation gradient, ranging from arid and unvegetated areas in the north to humid and forested areas in the south. The DFG Priority Program "EarthShape" (Earth Surface Shaping by Biota) uses this natural gradient to investigate how climate and biological processes shape the Earth's surface. We explored the critical zone, the Earth's uppermost layer, in four key sites located in desert, semidesert, mediterranean, and temperate climate zones of the Coastal Cordillera, with the focus on weathering of granitic rock. Here, we present first results from four ~2m-deep regolith profiles to document: (1) architecture of weathering zone; (2) degree and rate of rock weathering, thus the release of mineral-derived nutrients to the terrestrial ecosystems; (3) denudation rates; and (4) microbial abundances of bacteria and archaea in the saprolite. From north to south, denudation rates from cosmogenic nuclides are ~10 t km-2 yr-1 at the arid Pan de Azúcar site, ~20 t km-2 yr-1 at the semi-arid site of Santa Gracia, ~60 t km-2 yr-1 at the mediterranean climate site of La Campana, and ~30 t km-2 yr-1 at the humid site of Nahuelbuta. A and B horizons increase in thickness and elemental depletion or enrichment increases from north (~26 °S) to south (~38 °S) in these horizons. Differences in the degree of chemical weathering, quantified by the chemical depletion fraction (CDF), are significant only between the arid and sparsely vegetated site and the other three sites. Differences in the CDF between the sites, and elemental depletion within the sites are sometimes smaller than the variations induced by the bedrock heterogeneity. Microbial abundances (bacteria and archaea) in saprolite substantially increase from the arid to the semi-arid sites. With this study, we provide a comprehensive dataset characterizing the Critical Zone geochemistry in the Chilean Coastal Cordillera. This dataset confirms climatic controls on weathering and denudation rates and provides prerequisites to quantify the role of biota in future studies. The data are supplementary material to Oeser et al. (2018). All samples are assigned with International Geo Sample Numbers (IGSN), a globally unique and persistent Identifier for physical samples. The IGSNs are provided in the data tables and link to a comprehensive sample description in the internet. The content of the eight data tables is: Table S1: Catena properties of the four primary EarthShape study areas. Table S2: Major and selected trace element concentration for bedrock samples. Table S3 Normative modal abundance of rock-forming minerals. Table S4: Major and selected trace element concentration for regolith samples and dithionite and oxalate soluble pedogenic oxides. Table S5: Weathering indices CDF and CIA, and the mass transfer coefficients (τ) for major and trace elements along with volumetric strain (ɛ). Table S6: Chemical weathering and physical erosion rates Table S7: Relative microbial abundances in saprolite of the four study areas. Table S8: Uncorrected major and trace element concentration. The data tables are provided as one Excel file with eight spreadsheets, as individual tables in .csv format in a zipped archive and as printable PDF versions in a zipped archive.
