Harmonized species-resolved dataset for estimating carbon sequestration by woody species in urban and peri-urban built environments of Cyprus

This supplementary dataset provides a harmonized, species-resolved framework for assessing 40 woody taxa in urban and peri-urban built environments of Cyprus, with emphasis on carbon-storage estimation and planting suitability. It integrates taxonomic, ecological, morphological, and built-environment suitability traits with allometric parameters, root-to-shoot ratios, carbon fractions, proxy levels, data-support quality, and uncertainty classes. The dataset consolidates information from taxonomic, floristic, ecological, wood-density, IPCC, and allometric biomass sources. Where species-specific equations were unavailable, taxonomically related proxy equations were used and documented. For each species, the workbook calculates above-ground biomass, below-ground biomass, total biomass, carbon stock, baseline CO₂-equivalent storage, and projected CO₂-equivalent estimates under standardized 25-year and 50-year DBH-growth scenarios. This resource is a reproducible workflow rather than a field-measurement dataset. No trees were measured directly; values are compiled parameters or formula-based outputs using representative DBH inputs. The results are illustrative, assumption-based estimates intended for research, education and methodological demonstration only, and should not be used for regulatory carbon accounting, offset claims, financial decisions, or any application requiring measured or audited carbon values.
