We performed replicated, repeated-measures data of height, diameter and vitality at tree level to allow analysis of the spatial and temporal structure and diversity of  a semi-natural mixed floodplain forest in Italy. Three inventories were performed in 1995, 2005 and 2016 in three ~1 ha plots with varying soil moisture regimes. The use of replicated, repeated-measures data rather than chronosequences allows the examination of true changes in spatial pattern processes through time in this forest type.

Forest inventory data of LTER Zöbelboden. Beginning in 1992 permanent inventory plots covering the site (64-70) and three intensiv monitoring plots (IP1, IP2, IP3) characterising the main forest types have been recorded approximately every 5 years. The data comprises tree species identity and status, tree height, canopy height, breast diameter among other parameters describing forest structure.
