Topsoil meso-fauna data from the Glastir Monitoring and Evaluation Programme, Wales 2013-2014

This data set includes counts of soil meso-fauna collected from topsoil within a wide range of land use types across Wales, collected as part of the Glastir Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (GMEP). Meso-fauna include collembola (springtails) and acari (mites).

The monitoring programme was set up by the Welsh Government in 2013 to monitor the effects of the Glastir agri-environment scheme on the environment and ran from 2013 to 2016. The field survey element was based on a stratified random sampling design of 300 x 1km square sites across Wales, and was managed by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.

这个数据集包含威尔士境内多种土地利用类型下表土中土壤中型动物的数量统计，这些数据是作为格拉斯蒂尔监测与评估计划（GMEP）的一部分收集的。中型动物包括弹尾目（collembola，跳虫）和蜱螨目（acari，螨类）。

该监测计划由威尔士政府于2013年设立，旨在监测格拉斯蒂尔农业环境计划对环境的影响，实施期为2013年至2016年。实地调查采用分层随机抽样设计，在威尔士境内选取了300个1km²的样方站点，由生态与水文中心负责管理。
