It is a crossed study design, allowing to separate the effects of road verge classification (valuable or regular) from the effects of mowing frequency (mowing once or twice) through the following four combinations: Valuable and mowed once, valuable and mowed twice, regular and mowed twice, regular and mowed once. Within each combination, there is a gradient in traffic intensity comparable between combinations. The data on plants and pollinators was assessed during fieldwork in 2021 and 2022. The data on traffic intensity and habitat quality was derived from the national road database: https://nvdb2012.trafikverket.se/. To get information about land cover we used the National Land Cover Database from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency: https://metadatakatalogen.naturvardsverket.se/metadatakatalogen/GetMetaDataById?id=8853721d-a466-4c01-afcc-9eae57b17b39 To select landscapes without meadows and pastures of high nature value within 350m of the study sites we used the TUVA database from the Swedish Board of Agriculture: https://etjanst.sjv.se/tuvaut/ To select road verges, we used the environmental and infrastructure data from the national road database NVDB from Trafikverket: https://nvdb2012.trafikverket.se/ The data set consists of 37 rows and 361 columns, excluding headers. Each row contains information for one studied road verge (37 in total). The columns contain information on the unique identifier of each road verge (‘SiteID’), the coordinates of the middle of the 200 m long transect in each road verge (‘N’, ‘E’), road verge quality (‘RV_Quality’), mowing frequency (‘Mowed’), mean width of the road verge (‘VergeWidthMean’), traffic intensity (‘TI’), flower density (‘Flow_Dens’), butterfly abundance, richness and evenness (‘BF_Abun’, ‘BF_Rich’, ‘BF_Even’), wild bee abundance, richness and evenness (‘WB_Abun’, ‘WB_Rich’, ‘WB_Even’), and vascular plant richness (‘Vasc_Rich’). The columns P-IN contain the frequency of each vascular plant species observed in our study, with the species name as column header. The columns IO-JU contain the abundance of butterfly species observed in our study, with the species name as column header. The columns JV-MW contain the abundance of wild bee species observed in our study, with the species name as column header.
