Assessment of the effects of land use on amphibians in the Pampa Biome: a scientometric approach

The present dataset originates from a research project aimed at evaluating existing knowledge regarding how land use impacts amphibian species in the Pampa Biome. In this dataset, we have compiled information from 76 selected articles based on the following criteria: 1) articles published in scientific journals between the years 2000 and 2022; 2) a combination of the keywords 'anuran AND agroecosystem AND Uruguay OR Argentina OR Rio Grande do Sul'; 'anuran AND monoculture AND Uruguay OR Argentina OR Rio Grande do Sul'; 'anuran AND urbanization AND Uruguay OR Argentina OR Rio Grande do Sul'; 'anuran AND livestock AND Uruguay OR Argentina OR Rio Grande do Sul'; 'anuran AND land use AND Uruguay OR Argentina OR Rio Grande do Sul'; 'anuran AND soybean AND Uruguay OR Argentina OR Rio Grande do Sul'; 'anuran AND rice AND Uruguay OR Argentina OR Rio Grande do Sul'; 'anuran AND forestry AND Uruguay OR Argentina OR Rio Grande do Sul'; 3) research on the platforms Scopus, Science Direct, JSTOR, Google Scholar, Timbó Foco, and Periódicos CAPES. This dataset provides information on authors, publication year, the scientific journal in which the study was published, location (regions of Argentina, Uruguay, or Brazil), method (field or field complemented with experiments), anthropogenic activity, chemicals (when specified), effects on anurans, biological model (assemblage or species), developmental stage, and conservation status.
