Dataset from: The good, the bad, and the vulnerable: Predator interactions shape tree health in pear orchards

Data files are raw data. Detailed methods are described in the associated paper.

1. Arthropod Abundance Data: Sampling Conducted in May and June 2022\This dataset contains detailed information on arthropod abundances collected during sampling conducted in May and June 2022 across all study locations. The data were gathered as part of a controlled experiment examining the effects of vertebrate and arthropod predators on pear tree vitality. The dataset includes species identification, sampling methods, and location-specific details. All data were meticulously collected and verified by the authors.

2. Arthropod Abundance Data: Sampling Conducted in September 2022\This dataset provides information on arthropod abundances collected during the final phase of the experiment in September 2022. Sampling was conducted at all study locations to evaluate end-of-season arthropod dynamics. This dataset complements the earlier collection from May and June 2022, providing a comprehensive temporal overview of arthropod activity. All data were collected and validated by the authors.

3. Tree Vitality Indicators: Data for Statistical Analyses\This dataset includes measurements of key tree vitality indicators, such as leaf biomass, leaf damage, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic activity, and pear yield. These data were used in statistical analyses to assess the relationship between predator activity, pest abundance, and overall tree health. All indicators were measured and documented by the authors using standardized methods to ensure accuracy and reproducibility.
