Trees play a key role in the structure and function of many ecosystems worldwide. In the Mediterranean Basin, forests cover approximately 22% of the total land area hosting a large number of endemics (46 species). Despite its particularities and vulnerability, the biodiversity of Mediterranean trees is not well known at the taxonomic, spatial, functional, and genetic levels required for conservation applications. The WOODIV database fills this gap by providing reliable occurrences, four functional traits (plant height, seed mass, wood density, and specific leaf area), and sequences from three DNA-regions (rbcL, matK, and trnH-psbA), together with modelled occurrences and a phylogeny for all 210 Euro-Mediterranean tree species. We compiled, homogenized, and verified occurrence data from sparse datasets and collated them on an INSPIRE-compliant 10 × 10 km grid. We also gathered functional trait and genetic data, filling existing gaps where possible. The WOODIV database can benefit macroecological studies in the fields of conservation, biogeography, and community ecology.
树木在全球许多生态系统的结构和功能中发挥着关键作用。在地中海盆地，森林覆盖了约22%的陆地总面积，拥有大量特有物种（46种）。尽管地中海树木具有独特性和脆弱性，但其生物多样性在分类学、空间、功能和遗传层面上，对于保护应用所需的了解并不充分。WOODIV数据库填补了这一空白，它提供了可靠的分布记录、四个功能性状（株高、种子质量、木材密度和比叶面积）、三个DNA区域（rbcL、matK和trnH - psbA）的序列，以及所有210种欧洲 - 地中海树木物种的模拟分布记录和系统发育树。我们从稀疏的数据集中汇编、统一并验证了分布数据，并将它们整理到符合INSPIRE标准的10×10公里网格上。我们还收集了功能性状和遗传数据，尽可能填补现有空白。WOODIV数据库可惠及保护、生物地理学和群落生态学领域的宏观生态学研究。
