Urban and Periurban Forests of Italy: Structure, Tree-related Microhabitats, and Deadwood

The dataset consists of a total of 180 plots, sampled across three Italian urban areas: Firenze, Roma, and Campobasso. Within each urban area, four distinct locations were selected, with 15 in-situ plots sampled at each site. The plots were arranged along a gradient from urban to peri-urban environments, as follows:<b>Firenze</b>: Giardino di Boboli, Parco delle Cascine, Villa Medicea della Petraia, Villa Demidoff - Parco Mediceo di Pratolino;<b>Roma</b>: Villa Borghese, Villa Ada Savoia, Villa Doria Pamphilj, Riserva Naturale di Decima Malafede;<b>Campobasso</b>: Villa De Capoa, Rocca Monforte, Parco dello Scarafone, Monte Vairano.Per each plot, information regarding (i) forest structure, (ii) tree-related microhabitats, and (iii) deadwood characteristics were collected.

本数据集总计包含180个样地，采样覆盖意大利三座城市区域：<b>佛罗伦萨（Firenze）</b>、<b>罗马（Roma）</b>以及<b>坎波巴索（Campobasso）</b>。在每座城市区域内，均选取4处不同点位，每个点位布设15个原位样地（in-situ plot）。所有样地均沿城市至城郊的环境梯度布设，具体点位如下：<b>佛罗伦萨（Firenze）</b>：波波里花园（Giardino di Boboli）、卡西内公园（Parco delle Cascine）、佩特拉亚美第奇别墅（Villa Medicea della Petraia）、德米多夫别墅—普拉托利诺美第奇公园（Villa Demidoff - Parco Mediceo di Pratolino）；<b>罗马（Roma）</b>：博尔盖塞别墅（Villa Borghese）、阿达·萨沃亚别墅（Villa Ada Savoia）、多里亚·潘菲利别墅（Villa Doria Pamphilj）、代奇马·马拉费德自然保护区（Riserva Naturale di Decima Malafede）；<b>坎波巴索（Campobasso）</b>：德·卡波阿别墅（Villa De Capoa）、蒙福特城堡（Rocca Monforte）、斯卡拉冯公园（Parco dello Scarafone）、瓦伊拉诺山（Monte Vairano）。针对每个样地，均收集了以下三类信息：(i) 森林结构，(ii) 树木相关微生境，(iii) 枯木特征。
