title: Vegetation plots collected in dry grasslands throughout Bulgaria and Romanian Dobrudzha

description: This dataset containts vegetation plots that were collected specifically for the purpose of the PhD thesis of Salza Palpurina defended at Masaryk University in 2017 (Palpurina, 2017). Together with colleagues from the Vegetation Science Group at Masaryk University and from Sofia University, we sampled an initial dataset of 181 vegetation plots in dry grasslands across Bulgaria and Dobrudzha in the years 2010–2012. Visiting time was during the peak of growing season for dry grasslands in this area, i.e. end of May till beginning of July. We used a protocol for soil and vegetation sampling that matched the protocol employed for field expeditions by Vegetation Science Group at Masaryk University (see the section on Sampling methods). A map and a detailed description of the study area are provided in Palpurina et al. (2015). The dataset with full species composition is stored in the Balkan Dry Grasslands Database, which is registered in the Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases (http://www.givd.info; Dengler et al., 2011) under the code EU-00-013. However, the current dataset is the most up to date in terms of species composition as it also contains updates as a result of revised specimens linked to occurrences from respective vegetation plots. 
The PhD thesis was defended at Masaryk University in October 2017 and consisted of several papers which covered only part of the collected vegetation plots collected and analyzed the results for only one of the sampled taxonomic group - vascular plants.

title: Thermally induced in-situ SEM martensite-to-austenite transformation in CoNiAlFe alloy

description: This set provides in-situ videos of the thermally induced martensite-to-austenite transformation in a Co37.5Ni36.1Al24.6Fe2.2 alloy at different magnifications. The individual frames were recorded using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in backscattered electron mode (BSE). The experiments were conducted using a Zeiss SUPRA 55VP scanning electron microscope equipped with a Bruker XFlash 6-60 energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). Heating was performed using a SEM heating stage. The corresponding thermal transformation behavior was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using a Netzsch DSC 214 with a heating rate of 10 K/min.

title: Scenario-Based GLOF Modelling and Flood Routing Analysis for the Gurudongmar Lake Complex, Eastern Himalayas

description: The Gurudongmar Lake Complex has been analyzed through five Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) scenarios to assess potential dam breach impacts and downstream flood routing along the upper Tista River (see Excel Datasheet). Scenarios 1 to 3 simulate individual dam breaches at GL-1, GL-2, and GL-3, respectively, each with three breach magnitudes: 20%, 50%, and 80% of dam height (denoted as A, B, and C). These scenarios evaluate the standalone hazard posed by each lake. Scenarios 4 and 5 explore compound breach events involving upstream and downstream lake combinations. Scenario 4 models GL-2 breaching in conjunction with GL-1, while Scenario 5 involves simultaneous failure of GL-3 and GL-1. Each compound scenario includes the same three breach magnitudes for the upstream lake, combined with GL-1 breaching. These configurations help assess cascading effects and the amplified flood hazard resulting from multiple lake failures. Scenario 6, which considers the breaching of GL-4 in combination with GL-3 and GL-1, was not included in the study due to the very small area and volume of GL-4. It is unlikely to exert any significant hydrological influence on the larger downstream lakes. The model results include routed GLOF hydrographs at key locations along the upper Tista River: GL-1 outlet (0 km), Gaigong (16 km), Thangu Valley (32 km), Kunga (47 km), Lachen (54 km), and Chungthang town (74 km). These hydrographs help assess the progression and attenuation of flood waves under different breach scenarios, supporting hazard evaluation and early warning planning. This dataset is part of the research study: Chowdhury, A., Begam, S., Kroczek, T., Vilímek, V., Sharma, M.C., De, S.K., 2025.

title: Poverty and empowerment impacts of the Bihar Rural Livelihoods Project: Evidence from a Mixed-Methods Cluster-Randomized Trial

description: This study documents the impact of a government-sponsored livelihoods project using a mixed methods approach within a cluster-randomized trial. Key features of the project were the formation of women’s self-help groups, and the provision of low-cost credit through these groups. The intervention led to a dramatic increase in self-help group membership and take-up of credit through these groups, and a corresponding decline in the use of informal credit. A reduction in average informal lending interest rates was also observed. Two years after initiation of the program, significant positive impacts on asset ownership among landless households were apparent. Impacts on various indicators of women’s empowerment were mixed, and showed no clear direction when aggregated, nor was there any impact on consumption value. Given the reduction in debt service costs achieved both directly through substitution into lower-cost sources of credit and the reduction in informal interest rates, impacts of the intervention on household welfare are expected to continue to accrue over time.
