Data from: Biodiversity and local features of 103 public urban squares in Munich, Germany

This dataset contains biodiversity and square features of 103 public urban
squares (Platz in German) in Munich, Germany. Data were collected to
investigate how designed features of urban squares influences the
biodiversity occurring there. Data were collected between April 2017 and
July 2020. Square features were characterised using Colour-infrared Aerial
images (CIR, Bavarian Agency for Digitisation, High-Speed Internet and
Surveying, Munich) and land register maps and measurements using a
telemeter and a tape measure. Biodiversity of arthropods, bats, birds,
bryophytes, pollinators, small mammals, and spontaneous vegetation was
determined using taxa-specific sampling methods and deriving richness and
abundance (or activity) for each taxon.
