Survey of the insect pollinator community at 15 sites in the French Broad River watershed, collected in 2011

We asked how pollinator abundance and community composition varied with distance from logging roads and elevation in old (logged > 90 years ago) and young (logged 20-40 years ago) southern Appalachian forests (USA). At 15 previously logged sites along an elevation gradient, insect pollinators were sampled at 5 distances from logging roads during summer 2010 and spring 2011 using pan traps.
