Invertebrate herbivory data across a natural soil temperature gradient in Iceland from May-July 2017

This is a dataset of environmental data, vegetation cover, and community- and species-level invertebrate herbivory, sampled at 14 experimental soil plots in the Hengill geothermal valley, Iceland, from May to July 2017. The plots span a temperature gradient of 5-35 °C on average over the sampling period, yet they occur within 1 km of each other and have similar soil moisture, pH, nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate.

本数据集涵盖环境数据、植被覆盖度（vegetation cover）、群落与物种层面的无脊椎动物植食作用（invertebrate herbivory）相关数据，于2017年5月至7月间在冰岛亨吉尔地热谷的14个实验土壤样地中采集完成。所有样地在采样周期内的平均温度梯度跨度为5至35摄氏度，但彼此间的空间距离均不超过1公里，且土壤湿度、pH值、硝酸盐、铵盐及磷酸盐含量均较为相近。
