Data for 'Sweep netting samples, but not sticky trap samples, indicate beneficial arthropod abundance is negatively associated with landscape wide insecticide use'

This datasets comprises data from 38 crop field margins embedded in a gradient of landscapes from crop-dominated to semi-natural habitat-dominated, in the Netherlands in 2017 and 2018. Each field was managed by farmers according to their normal pest management practices. The dataset comprises information on pesticide use in the focal crop fields and 1 km around each focal field, the land use surrounding the focal crop fields, arthropod abundances and diversity.

本数据集涵盖2017年与2018年荷兰境内38条农田边缘带的相关数据，这些边缘带所处的景观梯度覆盖了从作物主导型到半自然生境主导型的全部区间。所有样地均由农户按照常规病虫害防治作业规范进行管理。数据集包含目标农田及其周边1公里范围内的农药使用情况、目标农田周边的土地利用状况，以及节肢动物丰度与多样性相关信息。
