Research data supporting: "Traditional and industrial approaches to oil palm cultivation alter the biodiversity of ground-dwelling arthropods in Liberia (West Africa)"

Three datasets from manuscript "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2025.109626". Data were collected from 54 ecological monitoring plots in Southeast Liberia, part of the framework of the Sustainable Oil Palm in West Africa (SOPWA) Project. Arthropods were collected using pitfall traps, and then identified morphologically to order-level or species-level (spiders only). All permits were obtained including Liberia research visa and collection and export permits from Government of Liberia's Forestry Development Authority. Farm - Cluster of plots from which data were collected as per SOPWA study design. System - Plot in rainforest, country palm, industrial oil palm Replicate - Replicate plot of a system with a farm cluster Pitfall trap - One of three pitfall traps (A, B, C) set within a plot Other columns relate to various covariates as outlined in the manuscript or the arthropod response variables.

本数据集源自论文『https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2025.109626』，包含3组数据集。数据采集自利比里亚东南部的54个生态监测样地，属于西非可持续油棕（Sustainable Oil Palm in West Africa, SOPWA）项目的研究框架范畴。研究采用陷阱诱捕器（pitfall trap）采集节肢动物，并通过形态学鉴定至目级阶元；其中仅蜘蛛类群可鉴定至物种级。所有研究许可均已获批，包括利比里亚研究签证，以及利比里亚政府林业发展局（Forestry Development Authority）出具的样本采集与出口许可。样地集群（Farm）：指按照SOPWA研究设计方案开展数据采集的一组样地。生境类型（System）：涵盖雨林样地、乡村棕榈林样地与工业油棕林样地。重复样地（Replicate）：隶属于某一生境类型且属于某一样地集群的重复监测样地。陷阱诱捕单元（Pitfall trap）：指设置于单个样地内的3个诱捕器（编号A、B、C）之一。其余列项对应论文中提及的各类协变量及节肢动物响应变量。
