The seed set of Eschscholzia californica plants introduced into habitats comprising different floral cover

This dataset contains seed counts of Eschscholzia californica plants introduced to form experimental arrays within habitats comprising different floral cover. Data was collected in June 2015 at the Hillesden estate, Buckinghamshire, UK. Experimental arrays comprised of three E.californica plants separated by 1m and arranged in a triangular formation. A total of sixteen arrays were introduced across four 100 hectare replicate blocks, each separated by >500m. At the centre of each block, four experimental arrays were placed at 50m intervals along a 150m transect laid symmetrically across the boundary between an established wildflower patch and bare, fallow ground or grazed grassland (two arrays within the florally rich habitat and two arrays within the florally poor habitat). On each plant, the seed set was measured for flowers which were exposed and excluded from pollinators to determine the effects of habitat context on plant reproduction. The dataset was part of a larger experiment looking at the effect of floral resources on the pollination services to isolated plants.

本数据集收录了加州罂粟（Eschscholzia californica）植物的种子计数，这些植物被引入不同植被覆盖度的生境中形成实验阵列。数据收集于2015年6月，地点位于英国白金汉郡的希尔登庄园。实验阵列由三株相距1米的E.californica植物组成，呈三角形排列。在四个100公顷的重复区块中引入了总计十六个阵列，每个区块之间相隔超过500米。在每个区块的中心，沿着一道对称横跨既定野花区与裸露休耕地或放牧草地边界的150米样带，以50米间隔放置了四个实验阵列（其中两个位于植被丰富区，另外两个位于植被贫瘠区）。对每株植物，测量了暴露于外界的花朵所形成的种子数量，并排除传粉者的影响，以探究生境背景对植物繁殖的影响。该数据集是更大规模实验的一部分，旨在研究花卉资源对孤立植物授粉服务的影响。关于本数据集的详细信息可查阅：https://doi.org/10.5285/5b400b69-b828-45e8-b04e-7ccbfdb0987f
