Abstract

This repository provides geoinformation data, natural and anthropogenic characteristics of 486 French and 1386 German catchments.
The characteristics include information on topography, land cover, lithology, soils, climate, hydrology, population density and nutrient sources.
The calculated catchment characteristics base on various publicly available and published resources referenced in the metadata of this repository.

This data base is an extension of the previously published data base for Germany "CCDB - catchment characteristics data base across Germany" (Ebeling, 2021).
The German catchments are the same as previously published and use the same identifier. Overlapping characteristics of the German CCDB data base are incorporated here for completeness but were not recalculated in case of identical methodology, source and period (see metadata information). However here, additional catchment characteristics are included, while a few variables which based on national data sets only available for Germany were not included.

This repository includes:

1.) Data table with catchment characteristics
2.) Metadata with the description of each catchment characteristic and references to original publications and data resources.
3.) Shapefile with catchment polygons
4.) Shapefile with stations

Conditions: Please, reference both the original data publisher and this repository for correct acknowledgements, when using the provided data.
