Longitudinal survey reports forest structure and silvicultural management across 583 monitoring sites, highlighting enhanced capacity to interpret national soil quality dynamics.
Key message A new database of forest stand characteristics from forest sites (583 sites) within the French Soil Quality Monitoring Network (RMQS) is now available. Covering two campaigns (2006–2007 and 2024), it includes descriptive stand-level data (forest structure, density, diversity, aboveground biomass) as well as forest management data and a record of silvicultural practices from 1995 to 2024. This dataset should improve the interpretation of soil analyses across this systematic national network. As the majority of RMQS forest sites also belong to the ICP Forests Level I network, it should further contribute to forest monitoring studies at the European scale. The database is available at: https://doi.org/10.57745/HE78QT , and the metadata at: https://metadata-afs.nancy.inra.fr/geonetwork/srv/fre/catalog.search#/metadata/6be8da55-9c80-42bf-afec-5c042c9e5ef1 .
