A spatially-explicit database of tree-related microhabitats in Europe and beyond.

Currently 42,078 individual tree observations from 111 plots are made available via the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). As the network of plots continues to expand, so does the database of tree-related microhabitats. Therefore, the database will undergo a regular update. The current version has a temporal coverage from March 2014 to December 2020. The innovation of this unique dataset is that it is based on a commonly agreed catalogue of tree microhabitats as a field reference list when assessing assessment protocol. The reference list is available in 17 languages and, thus, helps to guarantee compatibility of tree-related microhabitat assessments across countries and plots.
