What is it about?
ICP Forests relies on a representative pan-European network based on a 16 × 16 km grid-net covering around 6000 plots. Dead wood volumes for 3243 plots, related to 19 European Countries, are presented in this data paper as a result of harmonised sampling procedure, and under compliance with FAIR Data Principles. Dataset access is at https://zenodo.org/record/1467784.

Why is it important?
Deadwood volume and quality is recognized as one of the most important source of information for forest biodiversity. Here, first results of a systematic and standardized European survey scheme for assessing deadwood volume are presented. This ICP Forests datasets analysis represents the base for further analysis and relationships.
Perspectives
This paper provides standardized estimates of deadwood volume at European scale for a broader use among forest scientists.
