Title

Oak-associated biodiversity in the UK (OakEcol)

Abstract

This dataset contains a list of all known birds, bryophytes, fungi, invertebrates, lichens and mammals that use oak (Quercus petraea and Quercus robur) in the UK. In total 2300 species are listed in the dataset. For each species we provide a level of association with oak, ranging from obligate (only found on oak) to cosmopolitan (found on a wide range of other tree species). Data on the ecology of each oak associated species is provided: part of tree used, use made of tree (feeding, roosting, breeding), age of tree, woodland type, tree form (coppice, pollarded, or natural growth form) and season when the tree was used. Data on use or otherwise by each of the 2300 species of 30 other alternative tree species (Acer campestre, Acer pseudoplatanus, Alnus glutinosa, Betula pendula, Betula pubescens, Carpinus betulus, Castanea sativa, Fagus sylvatica, Fraxinus excelsior, Ilex aquifolium, Larix spp, Malus sylvestris, Picea abies, Pinus nigra ssp. laricio, Pinus sylvestris, Populus tremula, Prunus avium, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Quercus cerris, Quercus rubra, Sorbus aria, Sorbus aucuparia, Sorbus torminalis, Taxus baccata, Thuja plicata, Tilia cordata, Tilia platyphyllos, Tilia vulgaris, Tsuga heterophylla, Ulmus glabra) was also collated. A complete list of data sources is provided. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/22b3d41e-7c35-4c51-9e55-0f47bb845202

Quality and validity

Lineage

Existing data sources were used to collate the list of oak associated species, information on their ecology and their use of alternative tree species. The data was collated in a pre-defined standard format to enable consistency across taxa. The data sources included quality controlled databases of records of species, peer reviewed literature, published books and grey literature. A complete list of data sources used is provided together with an assessment of the quality of that data: peer reviewed or quality controlled dataset versus grey literature and whether the data was based on a UK or non-UK source.
