Litterfall ant genus and abundance in a fertiliser experiment area in Central Amazon, 2018-2019

Data are presented showing litterfall ant species and abundance from a plot based fertilisation experiment. The experiment was carried out at the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP) approximately 100 km north of Manaus. Data were collected in October 2018 and September 2019 by Santos-Neto. Sampling was carried out using a Wrinkler extractor. The data were collected to investigate the possible effects of different fertiliser applications on litterfall ant species and abundance. The work was carried out as part of the Amazon Fertilization Experiment (AFEX), funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Award reference NE/L007223/1, by the Brazilian government (Researcher scholarship) and the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP - logistical support and camps maintenance).

本数据集展示了基于施肥实验的林下落叶蚂蚁物种及其丰度的数据。该实验在亚马逊地区北部约100公里处的生物动力学森林片段项目（BDFFP）进行。数据由Santos-Neto于2018年10月和2019年9月收集。采样采用Wrinkler提取器进行。收集数据旨在研究不同肥料施用对林下落叶蚂蚁物种和丰度可能产生的影响。该研究作为亚马逊施肥实验（AFEX）的一部分，由自然环境研究委员会（NERC）资助（项目编号NE/L007223/1），巴西政府（研究者奖学金）以及生物动力学森林片段项目（BDFFP - 物流支持和营地维护）提供资金支持。关于本数据集的详细信息可查阅https://doi.org/10.5285/60e77fd4-7a24-4545-8d90-08e9dfcbd16a。
