Covering two campaigns (2006\u20132007 and 2024), it includes descriptive stand-level data (forest structure, density, diversity, aboveground biomass) as well as forest management data and a record of silvicultural practices from 1995 to 2024. This dataset should improve the interpretation of soil analyses across this systematic national network. As the majority of RMQS forest sites also belong to the ICP Forests Level I network, it should further contribute to forest monitoring studies at the European scale.\u00a0The database is available at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.57745\/HE78QT\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.57745\/HE78QT<\/a>, and the metadata at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/metadata-afs.nancy.inra.fr\/geonetwork\/srv\/fre\/catalog.search#\/metadata\/6be8da55-9c80-42bf-afec-5c042c9e5ef1\">https:\/\/metadata-afs.nancy.inra.fr\/geonetwork\/srv\/fre\/catalog.search#\/metadata\/6be8da55-9c80-42bf-afec-5c042c9e5ef1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<section class=\"c-article-recommendations\" aria-labelledby=\"inline-recommendations\" data-title=\"Inline Recommendations\" data-track-component=\"inline-recommendations\"><\/section>\n<p><strong>Keywords<br \/>\n<\/strong>Forest management; Soil; RMQS; Aboveground biomass; Monitoring network; Basal area; ICP forests<\/p>\n<div class='altmetric-embed' data-badge-type='donut' data-doi='10.1186\/s13595-026-01353-7'  style='float: right; ' ><\/div>\n<p><strong>Publication<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"c-bibliographic-information__citation\">Pouys\u00e9gur, R., Fujisaki, K., Boulonne, L.\u00a0<i>et al.<\/i>\u00a0Forest stand descriptions from the French Soil Quality Monitoring Network: repeated surveys (2006\u20132024) and documented silvicultural management.\u00a0<i>Annals of Forest Science<\/i>\u00a0<b>83<\/b>, 39 (2026). <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1186\/s13595-026-01353-7\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1186\/s13595-026-01353-7<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Data availability\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nThe data that support the findings of this study are available online: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.57745\/HE78QT\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.57745\/HE78QT<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Handling editor<\/strong><br \/>\nErwin Dreyer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Database Key message A new database of forest stand characteristics from forest sites (583 sites) within the French Soil Quality Monitoring Network (RMQS) is now available.
