Tarp impacts on soil arthropods

These data show the impacts of tarps on aboveground and belowground arthropods (collected with pitfall traps and the Berlese funnel method, respectively). These data are a timeseries with 5 sampling times (before tarping, during tarping, and 1, 3, and 5 weeks after tarp removal). <br> We identified arthropods into morphospecies and calculates species richness, Shannon’s diversity, and total abundance. We also include the abundance of certain pest and natural enemy species. <br> For more information, please refer to Kinnebrew et al. 2022 (https://doi.org/10.1080/21683565.2022.2146254) or contact Dr. Kinnebrew at [e-mail]. <br> Column Names and Explanations: <br> 1. Farm: the farm site (“A,” “B” or “C”) where the plot was located. All farms were located in Chittenden County, Vermont, USA <br> 2. Treatment: indicates the treatment type (silage tarps, clear plastic tarps, or control) <br> 3. Plot_ID: the unique identifier for each spatial plot <br> 4. Sampling: the sampling period. “Pretarps” indicates sampling that occurred a week before tarp application, to capture baseline understanding of the arthropod community. “Tarps on” indicates a sampling that took place 3 weeks into tarp application. “Tarps off 1w,” “Tarps off 3w,” and “Tarps off 5w” indicates samplings that took place 1, 3, and 5 weeks after tarps were removed from the plots. <br> 5. Pitfall_SpRichness: species richness (specifically the number of morphospecies) of arthropods collected with pitfall traps <br> 6. Pitfall_Shannons: Shannon’s diversity of arthropod morphospecies collected with pitfall traps <br> 7. Pitfall_TotalOrgs: total number of individuals collected with pitfall traps <br> 8. Berlese_SpRichness: species richness (specifically the number of morphospecies) of arthropods collected with the Berlese funnel method <br> 9. Berlese_Shannons: Shannon’s diversity of arthropod morphospecies collected with the Berlese funnel method <br> 10. Berlese_TotalOrgs: total number of individuals collected with the Berlese funnel method <br> 11. Chrysomelidae_Abundance: abundance (number of individuals) per plot in the Chrysomelidae family (flea beetles). Organisms captured with pitfall traps. <br> 12. Aphididae_Abundance: abundance (number of individuals) per plot in the Aphididae family (aphids). Organisms captured with pitfall traps. <br> 13. Carabidae_Abundance: abundance (number of individuals) per plot in the Carabidae family (ground beetles). Organisms captured with pitfall traps. <br> 14. Elateridae_Abundance: abundance (number of individuals) per plot in the Elateridae family (click beetles). Organisms captured with pitfall traps. <br> 15. Lycosidae_Abundance: abundance (number of individuals) per plot in the Lycosidae family (wolf spiders). Organisms captured with pitfall traps. <br> 16. Curculionidae_Abundance: abundance (number of individuals) per plot in the Curculionidae family (weevils). Organisms captured with pitfall traps.

本数据集展示了覆盖布（tarps）对地表与地下节肢动物（arthropods）的影响，其中地表节肢动物通过陷阱诱捕法（pitfall traps）采集，地下节肢动物通过贝尔莱塞漏斗法（Berlese funnel method）采集。本数据集为时间序列数据，包含5个采样时间点：覆膜前、覆膜期间，以及覆膜移除后1、3、5周。

研究人员将节肢动物鉴定为形态种（morphospecies），并计算了物种丰富度、香农多样性指数（Shannon’s diversity）以及总个体丰度。此外，数据集还收录了部分害虫类群与天敌类群的个体丰度数据。
