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，这些植物被引入形成实验阵列，并置于包含不同花卉覆盖度的生境中。数据采集于2015年6月，地点位于英国白金汉郡的Hillesden庄园。实验阵列由三株相距1米的E.californica植物组成，并以三角形排列。共引入了16个阵列，分布在四个100公顷的重复区块中，每个区块之间相隔超过500米。在每个区块的中心，沿一条150米长的横切线对称地放置了四个实验阵列，该横切线横跨了已建立的野生花卉区域与裸露的休耕地或放牧草地之间的边界（其中两个阵列位于花卉丰富的生境内，另外两个阵列位于花卉贫瘠的生境内）。在每个植物上，测量了暴露于外的花朵和被排斥于传粉者之外的花朵的种子数量，以确定生境环境对植物繁殖的影响。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。
