Dung nutrient data of rabbit, fallow deer, horse, cow, and European bison

Dung samples of European bison (Bison bonasus L.), cow (Bos taurus L.),
fallow deer (Dama dama L.), horse (Equus ferus caballus L.), and rabbit
(Oryctolagus cuniculus L.) were collected at the National Park
Zuid-Kennemerland, the Netherlands (52.3961°N, 4.5921°E) on February 25th,
2020. The fresh herbivore dung was placed in the oven at 70 ℃ for 72 h for
drying to measure the moisture and then ground for the measurement of the
nutrients (Nitrogen, Carbon, Phosphorus, C:N, N:P). Total C concentrations
were analyzed with a dry combustion analyzer (LECO CNS-2000). Total N
concentrations were measured on an elemental analyzer (Thermo EA Flash
1112). Total P concentrations were analyzed using a modification of the
combustion and hot HCl extraction procedure. Differences among species in
dung nutrients were determined using a one-way ANOVA and Scheffe test in
the agricolae package in R.
