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，森林覆盖约 22% 的陆地面积，栖息着大量特有物种（46 种）。尽管地中海树木具有特殊性和脆弱性，但其生物多样性在保护应用所需的分类学、空间、功能和遗传水平上尚不为人所知。WOODIV 数据库通过提供可靠的事件、四种功能性状（株高、种子质量、木材密度和比叶面积）以及来自三个 DNA 区域（rbc L、mat K 和trn H- psb A ）的序列来填补这一空白。 ），以及所有 210 种欧洲地中海树种的模型发生和系统发育。我们从稀疏数据集中编译、均质化和验证了发生数据，并将它们整理在符合 INSPIRE 标准的 10 × 10 km 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 数据库可以有益于保护、生物地理学和群落生态学领域的宏观生态学研究。
