Description
Summary:In this article, we supply raw data on the reproductive biology and frequency of pollinators of Paubrasilia echinata, a threatened tree, endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic forest, which is largely used in Brazilian urban areas (e.g. avenues, parks and squares) due to its ornamental potential. Specifically, we share data on the reproductive phenology, pollen/flower, floral visitors and seed set of P. echinata in urban and natural ecosystems. This dataset article is related to the original research article "Reduced reproductive success of the endangered tree brazilwood (Paubrasilia echinata, Leguminosae) in urban ecosystem compared to Atlantic forest remnant: lessons for tropical urban ecology" (Oliveira et al., 2019). As urbanization is thought to negatively impact the maintenance of plant communities by affecting ecological key interactions, such as pollination, we believe that data as the supplied here are relevant and could support the planning of urban green spaces to maintain viable communities of plants and animals. This is especially valid for tropical urban ecosystems since most of the studies on plant ecology have been developed in temperate regions and there are still several gaps on the knowledge of ecological functions and ecosystems services (e.g. pollination) in urban green areas in the tropics.
