Abstract

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.
