Results show that traits mediate ecosystem services and resilience, strongly depending on environmental and management context, supporting their use in nature-based solutions and ecosystem management.Highlights:· Plant traits shape biodiversity and ecosystem services in cities and forests· Trait patterns depend on species selection, management, and environmental stressors· Nature-based solutions enhance ecosystem services through functional traits· Trait-based planning support restoration and urban forest resilience· SPIDER review of 80 studies linking plant traits with resilience and services__________________________________________________________________________________These materials support reproducibility and transparency in literature-based analyses of functional traits and ecosystem services, in nature-based solution contexts. The dataset can be reused or further expanded for comparative studies on this topic, as well as for meta-analyses and related research applications.__________________________________________________________________________________The database presents all primary studies retrieved through the structured search query: [(“functional trait” AND (“tree” OR “plant”)) AND (“nature-based solution” OR “ecosystem-based approach” OR “ecosystem service”) AND (“forest” OR “urban”) AND (“growth” OR “productivity” OR “tree ring” OR “environmental contaminant” OR “environmental pollution”)] and selected after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
