Bases and criteria for fruit consumption data

The first step in the multi-step process we used to make raw data on fruit consumption comparable, consisted in the delimitation of datasets that were homogeneous with respect to their geographic location, forest type, collection date and sampling technique. This entailed, on the one hand, the split of some large raw datasets (e.g. covering various types of forests, or more than one season) and, on the other, the grouping of similar opportunistic records from different sources in a same dataset.
