This dataset includes three related tables used in to conduct content analysis for a scoping review of how digital tools have been used in urban forestry research published between 1998 and 2023. The main file provides metadata and key variables for the 73 reviewed documents. A second file lists all authors and their affiliations, and a third describes how each study used digital tools—whether to examine structure, function, or temporal dynamics—along with what was measured (such as canopy, species, carbon, or heat). The data were gathered through collaborative inductive and deductive coding and cleaned using standard research tools.
