Sites specific observations of the number of I. ricinus nymphs N per 100 m² and environmental variables from gridded measurements comprising temperature T in °C, relative humidity RH in %, saturation deficit SD in hPa as well as land cover classes A (agricultural land), B (broad-leaved forest), C (coniferous forest) and M (mixed forest) for 2013 and 2014.
