Dung nutrient data of rabbit, fallow deer, horse, cow, and European bison

Dung samples of European bison (Bison bonasus L.), cow (Bos taurus L.), fallow deer (Dama dama L.), horse (Equus ferus caballus L.), and rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.) were collected at the National Park Zuid-Kennemerland, the Netherlands (52.3961°N, 4.5921°E) on February 25th, 2020. The fresh herbivore dung was placed in the oven at 70 ℃ for 72 h for drying to measure the moisture and then ground for the measurement of the nutrients (Nitrogen, Carbon, Phosphorus, C:N, N:P). Total C concentrations were analyzed with a dry combustion analyzer (LECO CNS-2000). Total N concentrations were measured on an elemental analyzer (Thermo EA Flash 1112). Total P concentrations were analyzed using a modification of the combustion and hot HCl extraction procedure. Differences among species in dung nutrients were determined using a one-way ANOVA and Scheffe test in the agricolae package in R. , , , # Dung nutrient data of rabbit, fallow deer, horse, cow and European bison

Nitrogen, Carbon, Phosphorus, C:N, N:P of the dung nutrient composition of five herbivore species living in the European coastal dune ecosystem.

## Description of the data structure

This is a dataframe with 7 columns (moisture, TC, TN, TP, C:N, N:P, herbivore species) and 20 rows (each herbivore species has four independent individual samples). Moisture's unit is (%); TC, TN and TP's units are (g/kg). This dataframe only includes the original nutrient data without statistical analysis, if you need the final analyzed data please read the article \"**Microbial community composition in the dung of five sympatric European herbivore species**\" published in *Ecology and Evolution*, or conduct the R codes below in your PC.

2020年2月25日，于荷兰南肯尼迪默兰国家公园（National Park Zuid-Kennemerland，坐标52.3961°N，4.5921°E）采集了欧洲野牛（Bison bonasus L.）、牛（Bos taurus L.）、黇鹿（Dama dama L.）、马（Equus ferus caballus L.）及穴兔（Oryctolagus cuniculus L.）的粪便样本。
将新鲜草食动物粪便置于70℃烘箱中烘干72小时以测定含水率，随后研磨处理以检测养分指标（氮[Nitrogen]、碳[Carbon]、磷[Phosphorus]、碳氮比[C:N]、氮磷比[N:P]）。总碳浓度采用干式燃烧分析仪（LECO CNS-2000）测定；总氮浓度使用元素分析仪（Thermo EA Flash 1112）检测；总磷浓度采用改进的燃烧-热盐酸萃取法进行分析。采用R语言agricolae包中的单因素方差分析（one-way ANOVA）与谢弗检验（Scheffe test）分析不同物种间粪便养分的差异。

本数据集涵盖欧洲沿海沙丘生态系统中5种草食动物粪便的养分组成指标：氮、碳、磷、碳氮比、氮磷比。

## 数据结构说明
本数据集为包含7列（含水率[moisture]、总碳[TC]、总氮[TN]、总磷[TP]、碳氮比[C:N]、氮磷比[N:P]、草食动物物种[herbivore species]）、20行的数据框，每个草食动物物种对应4个独立个体样本。含水率单位为%；总碳、总氮及总磷的单位为g/kg。本数据集仅包含原始养分数据，未包含统计分析结果；若需最终分析后的数据，请查阅发表于*Ecology and Evolution*（《生态学与进化》）的论文"Microbial community composition in the dung of five sympatric European herbivore species"，或在本地运行下述R代码。
