Data from: Tillage in southeastern U.S. row crops reduces ground-nesting bee incidence and diversity compared to field edges

This dataset was collected to assess the response of ground-nesting bees
to different agricultural management treatments while documenting key
environmental variables. Data were collected from March 2021 to November
2022 at the E.V. Smith Research Center in Shorter, Alabama. The study site
consisted of 96 experimental subplots arranged in a randomized block
design within a long-established agricultural field. It provides valuable
insights into the interactions between soil management practices, soil
conditions, vegetation cover, and ground-nesting bee populations in
agricultural landscapes. It may be useful for ecological modeling,
particularly in understanding how management actions influence bee
emergence. However, caution should be used in interpreting emergence trap
data, as it does not represent floral visitation behavior.
