Database for meta-analysis: Reducing tillage intensity benefits the soil micro- and mesofauna in a global meta-analysis.

This dataset includes data extracted from published studies reporting results on the effects of different tillage intensities on soil fauna. The literature was systematically reviewed in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis framework (“PRISMA”). Peer-reviewed publications were searched using the Web of Science search engine, including all available databases with the following search terms: “TOPIC: (tillage OR plough* OR chisel* OR till* OR mouldboard* OR disc* OR tine* OR rotatory OR rotary OR harrow* ) AND (fauna* OR biota* OR organism* OR mesofauna* OR acari OR mite* OR enchytraeid* OR nematod* OR springtail* OR collembola*)“. The resulting database covers 3459 observations from 133 publications published between 1981 and 2020. Research domain: Ecology of Agricultural Landscapes Research question: (1) What is the effect of reducing tillage intensity on density and diversity of soil micro- and mesofaunal communities? (2) What are the main pedoclimatic conditions and concurrent management practices that drive the effects of reducing tillage intensity on soil fauna i.e., fertilization regimes, soil-related (pH, organic matter, texture) and climatic factors?

本数据集提取自报告不同耕作强度对土壤动物影响结果的已发表研究。本次系统文献综述严格遵循系统评价与元分析首选报告条目（Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis, PRISMA）框架开展。研究通过Web of Science搜索引擎检索同行评议文献，覆盖该平台下所有可用数据库，检索式为："主题：(耕作（tillage） OR 翻耕（plough*） OR 凿形耕（chisel*） OR 耕作（till*） OR 犁板耕（mouldboard*） OR 圆盘耕（disc*） OR 齿形耕（tine*） OR 旋耕（rotatory/rotary） OR 耙耕（harrow*）) AND (动物群（fauna*） OR 生物群（biota*） OR 生物体（organism*） OR 中型土壤动物（mesofauna*） OR 蜱螨（acari） OR 螨类（mite*） OR 线蚓（enchytraeid*） OR 线虫（nematod*） OR 弹尾虫（springtail*） OR 弹尾目（collembola*）)"。最终构建的数据集涵盖1981年至2020年间发表的133篇文献中的3459条观测记录。研究领域：农业景观生态学。研究问题：(1) 降低耕作强度对土壤小型和中型动物群落的密度与多样性具有何种影响？(2) 驱动耕作强度降低对土壤动物产生影响的主要土壤气候条件与配套管理措施（即施肥制度、土壤相关因子[pH、有机质、质地]及气候因子）分别是什么？
