"Pollinator habitat enhancement through ornamental plants, floral traits and urban green area features for planning biodiversity-friendly cities" - Raw data

Data include information on plant identity, green area type and habitat characteristics, together with pollinator abundance, richness, and taxonomic/group-level visitation records. The dataset also includes floral trait measurements used to investigate plant–pollinator relationships, including morphological and resource-related traits.

These data allow the assessment of the relative attractiveness of ornamental plants for urban pollinators and the role of plant traits and urban habitat context in shaping pollinator communities.
