Ground Arthropod Community Survey in Grassland, Shrubland, and Woodland at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico (1992-2004) (Reformatted to a Darwin Core Archive)

This data package is formatted as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A,
event core). For more information on Darwin Core see
https://www.tdwg.org/standards/dwc/. This Level 2 data package was
derived from the Level 1 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/edi/333/2,
which was derived from the Level 0 data package found here:
https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/knb-lter-sev/29/175390. The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0
data package and is included for context: This data set contains records for the numbers of selected groups of ground-dwelling arthropod species and individuals collected from pitfall traps at 4 sites on the Sevilleta NWR, including creotostebush shrubland, both black and blue grama grasslands, and a pinyon/juniper woodland. Data collections begin in May of 1989, and are represented by subsequent sample collections every 2 months. One site (Goat Draw/Cerro Montosa) was discontinued in 2001, and a new site (Blue Grama) was initiated . Only three sites, creosotebush, black grama, and blue grama were continued between 2001-2004.
