Descripción
This dataset documents bird communities along urbanization and green space gradients within the Montpellier metropolitan area (southern France). Surveys were conducted using standardized point count protocols as part of an exploratory ecoacoustic research project aimed at assessing the contribution of avifauna to urban soundscapes.
The dataset includes ornithological occurrence data describing species composition and abundance recorded at each sampling site. Acoustic recordings and environmental variables were also collected during the surveys but are not included in this dataset.

Métodos de muestreo
Bird surveys were carried out using standardized point count protocols. At each sampling point, observers recorded all birds seen or heard during fixed 10-minute sessions. Counts were repeated across multiple visits to account for temporal variability in bird detectability and activity. Environmental variables such as temperature and cloud cover were recorded during each survey session. Although acoustic recordings were collected as part of the broader ecoacoustic project, only field-based bird observations are included in this dataset.
| Área de Estudio | The study was conducted within the Montpellier metropolitan area in southern France. Sampling sites were distributed along gradients of urbanization and green infrastructure, including urban parks, residential areas, and peri-urban environments. The spatial design aimed to capture variation in habitat structure and urban intensity influencing bird community composition. |

Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:
- Field data were first standardized and aggregated by sampling point, visit, date, and species. Abundance values were summed within each 10-minute count session. Absence data were generated by completing the species × sampling event matrix to ensure consistent occurrence reporting. Geographic coordinates were converted to decimal degrees (WGS84), and dates were standardized to ISO format. Taxonomic names were harmonized using the TAXREF reference database before export to Darwin Core format for publication through GBIF.
