However, published data on these traits remain dispersed across disciplines, languages, and methods, limiting their accessibility and reuse. Here, we present a curated, taxonomically broad database compiling pollen viability over time for 274 vascular plant species extracted from 320 primary publications published between 1962 and 2023. The dataset includes germination-and staining-based viability estimates under defined storage conditions, along with metadata on species identity, experimental design, and pollen traits. To facilitate data exploration and application, the full database is openly available via an online repository and accompanied by an interactive Shiny App that allows users to filter, visualize, and download customized subsets. This resource enables comparative research on pollen longevity and viability across taxonomic groups, environments, and methods, and supports future work in trait-based ecology, conservation planning, plant breeding, and reproductive biology.
