Data from "Beyond farming systems: soil tillage intensity and pesticide residues drive earthworm taxonomic and functional diversity"

This repository contains the raw data and R analysis script supporting all statistical results presented in the paper. Data include earthworm community records (abundance, biomass, species) from 43 winter cereal fields in Wallonia (Belgium) sampled in 2024–2025, along with soil physico-chemical properties, soil pesticide residue concentrations, and agricultural practice indicators (STIR, ISAC, SPRI, fertilisation, cover crops). The R script reproduces all analyses: taxonomic and functional diversity metrics, multivariate community analyses (NMDS, CAP, partial dbRDA, variance partitioning), GLMMs with model averaging, and STIR component decomposition. This is a condensed version of the used R script, contact the author for more information.
