A dataset to accompany the article titled "Direct and indirect effects of fragmentation on seed dispersal in an agro-ecological landscape"

Seidl et al.: Temporary non-crop habitats within arable fields: the effects of field defects on carabid beetle assemblages

Data on stem circumference, nectar production, pollinator visitation rates and marketable seed yield of three genetic lines of leek hybrid seed production under conventional and reduced treatments of fertilisation, irrigation and pollination.

Data associated with the paper "Ant biodiversity and ecosystem services in bioenergy landscapes" by JA Helms, S Ijelu, BD Wills, DA Landis, and NM Haddad. Contains data about pitfall trap effort, ants collected in traps, and pest insect mortality across three bioenergy experiments at KBS LTER.

These data were collected from conventionally managed, tilled, corn fields in northwest Ohio. The data include ground arthropod abundance, microbial abundance, extracellular enzymes, and nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient pools. See associated paper for more details on data collection and sites. The spreadsheet includes a tab that describes the meaning of columns names.

Raw data for Lygus bugs sampled in 56 Virginia (U.S.A.) cotton fields over nine-weeks in 2017 and 2018 using two sampling techniques: sweep net and drop cloth sampling. The number of adults and nymphs were recorded per field per sampling week. Four data points were recorded for each sampling technique per field visit. Plant measurements and injury assessments were recorded when applicable and were averaged from 10 to 20 plants per field including total nodes, nodes above white flower (NAWF), plant height, square retention and "dirty bloom." Landscape (NASS-Cropscape Data Layer) and climate data (Daymet) of interest within specified buffers (0.75, 1.5, 3.0 km) surrounding sampled fields were extracted using GIS software.

Concentrations of neonicotinoids in honey samples from GB from 2014 to 2017 including metabarcoding data on host plants fed upon by the bees during the production of that honey.

Data in brief associated with the article "Biomass and carbon stocks of organic and conventional cocoa agroforests, Ghana".

Two datasets from the Douglas-Daly and the South Katherine agricultural regions of the Northern Territory, Australia. Both datasets provide savanna woodland soil profile data, as well as a young and old agricultural land-use systems that have replaced savanna woodland ecosystems. In Douglas-Daly, there are young and old pasture systems; in South Katherine there are young and old fields of Melon cropping

Vegetation file shows data of vegetation density, complexity (fractal) and canopy cover. Species database shows data of dung beetles collected in native savannas and exotic pastures in Brazil.
