Pre-harvest nut damage and post-harvest mummy nut removal by birds in an Australian almond plantation.

Pre-harvest nut damage. Contains data on the number of almonds on each lateral branch at the beginning of the experiment (‘Total almonds’), the number eaten by birds (‘Eaten by birds’), and the percentage of total nuts damaged (‘percent damaged’) for trees exposed to birds (‘Open trees’) at two almond blocks (‘Almond block; 1, 2’) in either edge or interior block rows (‘Row location; edge, interior’). Data are also provided for trees excluding birds (‘Netted trees’) showing the number of almonds on each lateral branch at the beginning of the experiment (‘Total almonds’), the number lost to non-bird factors (e.g. storms) (‘Non-bird nut loss’), and the percentage of total nuts lost (‘percent loss’) at two almond blocks in either edge or interior block rows.
Post-harvest mummy nut removal. Contains data on the number of mummy nuts on each lateral branch at the beginning of the experiment (‘Total mummy nuts’), the number eaten by birds (‘Eaten by birds’), and the percentage of total nuts eaten (‘percent eaten’) for trees exposed to birds (‘Open trees’) at two almond blocks (‘Almond block; 1, 2’) in either edge or interior block rows (‘Row location; edge, interior’). Data are also provided for trees excluding birds (‘Netted trees’) showing the number of mummy nuts on each lateral branch at the beginning of the experiment (‘Total mummy nuts’), the number lost to non-bird factors (‘Non-bird nut loss’), and the percentage of total nuts lost (‘percent loss’) at two almond blocks in either edge or interior block rows.
Data shows the relationship between % bird damage to the almond crop ('percent bird damage') and the cost to growers ('AUD cost/ha') based on a wholesale almond price of $5.05 kg-1 (dashed line in Figure 5a in main article). The relationship between the cost of replacing the ecosystem service based on varying the salary rate for mechanical shaker drivers - 'Replacement cost (salary rate/hr)' and the ecosystem-service value (bold line in Figure 5a in main article). Also shown is the relationship between the cost of replacing the ecosystem service based on varying the time spent hand-poling a tree where salary rates are held constant at $15.96 hr-1 - 'Replacement cost (minutes /tree)' and the ecosystem-service value (bold line in Figure 5b in main article). All cost values are in US dollars.

收获前坚果损伤数据集。包含实验初期每侧枝条上杏仁数量（‘总杏仁数’）、被鸟类食用的数量（‘被鸟类食用’）以及总坚果损伤百分比（‘损伤百分比’）等数据，这些数据针对暴露于鸟类之下的树木（‘开放树木’），并涉及两个杏仁区块（‘杏仁区块；1，2’）的边缘或内部区块行（‘行位置；边缘，内部’）。此外，还提供了排除鸟类影响的树木数据（‘网状树木’），包括实验初期每侧枝条上杏仁的数量（‘总杏仁数’）、因非鸟类因素（如风暴）而损失的数量（‘非鸟类坚果损失’）以及总坚果损失百分比（‘损失百分比’），这些数据同样涉及两个杏仁区块的边缘或内部区块行。
收获后干果坚果移除数据集。包含实验初期每侧枝条上干果坚果的数量（‘总干果坚果数’）、被鸟类食用的数量（‘被鸟类食用’）以及总坚果食用百分比（‘食用百分比’）等数据，这些数据针对暴露于鸟类之下的树木（‘开放树木’），并涉及两个杏仁区块（‘杏仁区块；1，2’）的边缘或内部区块行（‘行位置；边缘，内部’）。此外，还提供了排除鸟类影响的树木数据（‘网状树木’），包括实验初期每侧枝条上干果坚果的数量（‘总干果坚果数’）、因非鸟类因素而损失的数量（‘非鸟类坚果损失’）以及总坚果损失百分比（‘损失百分比’），这些数据同样涉及两个杏仁区块的边缘或内部区块行。
数据展示了杏仁作物鸟类损伤百分比（‘鸟类损伤百分比’）与种植者成本（‘每公顷澳元成本’）之间的关系，该关系基于每千克批发杏仁价格为5.05美元（主文章图5a中虚线所示）。此外，还展示了基于调整机械摇树机驾驶员薪资率以替代生态系统服务成本（‘替代成本（每小时薪资率）'）与生态系统服务价值（主文章图5a中加粗线所示）之间的关系。同时，展示了在保持每小时薪资率恒定为15.96美元的情况下，根据调整手动摇树所需时间以替代生态系统服务成本（‘替代成本（每树分钟）'）与生态系统服务价值（主文章图5b中加粗线所示）之间的关系。所有成本值均以美元计。
