Springtales from lichen communities at Kollåsen in Norway

The data collections were conducted as part of a larger project called FuncFinse. We aimed to study if and how the (functional) diversity of lichen communities determines the species diversity and community composition of micro-arthropods (Collembola). We created experimental patches with mixtures of one, two, three, or four different lichen species and placed these in lichen mats in semi-open pine forest (Pinus sylvestris) in Kollåsen, Ski, Norway. The soil micro-arthropods were harvested from the lichen patches after one summer season of incubation.

本数据集的收集是作为名为 FuncFinse 的更大项目的一部分进行的。我们的目标是探究（功能）多样性如何以及如何影响苔藓群落中物种多样性和微型节肢动物（如跳甲）的群落组成。我们通过混合一种、两种、三种或四种不同的苔藓物种创建实验性斑块，并将这些斑块放置在挪威斯基市的半开放式云杉林（Pinus sylvestris）中的苔藓垫上。在经过一个夏季的孵化期后，我们从苔藓斑块中采集了土壤微型节肢动物。
