+*Geospatial datasets:*<br>
+European Union's Copernicus Land Monitoring Service information:<br>
+- Imperviousness Density 2018 (https://doi.org/10.2909/3bf542bd-eebd-4d73-b53c-a0243f2ed862)
+- Dominant Leaf Type 2018 (https://doi.org/10.2909/7b28d3c1-b363-4579-9141-bdd09d073fd8)
+- CORINE Land Cover 2018 (https://doi.org/10.2909/960998c1-1870-4e82-8051-6485205ebbac)<br>
+All datasets were edited. Imperviousness Density 2018 and Dominant Leaf Type 2018 were merged from smaller tiles and then stored in a netCDF4 file.
+
+*Landslide database:*<br>
+Datenquelle Hangmuren-Datenbank, Eidg. Forschungsanstalt WSL, Forschungseinheit Gebirgshydrologie & Massenbewegungen (status October 2024).<br>
+The spatial coordinates of the landslide locations were transformed into WGS84 coordinates using QGIS.
+
+*Absence locations database:*<br>
+Randomly sampled locations outside of a buffer zone around the entries in the landslide database
