Database for: Meta-analysis of the impact of land use intensification on earthworms in global agroecosystems

The dataset comprises a compilation of studies investigating the impact of land use intensification on earthworms across global agroecosystems. Extracted from peer-reviewed publications, the dataset includes various fields such as climate characteristics are described using the Köppen-Geiger climate classification system. Soil properties such as type, texture, pH, and organic content are documented. Additionally, details regarding experimental parameters like replicates, sampling depth, and extraction methods are provided. Furthermore, the dataset encompasses information on agricultural practices including herbicide, insecticide, pesticide usage, fertilizer type and rate, grazing, tillage methods, and days after tillage for earthworm collection. Abundance, diversity, and their associated metrics are recorded for both control and treatment sites.
