Description

Environmental and biodiversity data associated with the article: Davison et al. (2023) Vegetation structure from LiDAR explains the local richness of birds across Denmark, Journal of Animal Ecology.

Bird richness and abundance at points across Denmark, with matched land cover and LiDAR structural data. Bird observations are a subset of the Common Bird Monitoring programme (DOF – Birdlife Denmark) and pooled from summer counts of 2014, 15, and 16. Bird functional group assignments and environmental data are from open access data sets (see below).
