Effect of substrate and ambient energy across trophic levels
https://doi.org/10.5878/xe38-q946
These datasets provide information about the abundance of saproxylic microbial and arthropod species in six different tree species and under different microclimatic conditions (shaded, artificially shaded and sun-exposed). The species have been categorized into different trophic levels from decomposing microbes to arthropod parasites. This has been done to study the relative importance of ambient energy (microclimate) and substrate energy (tree species) across saproxylic trophic levels and over time. Samples have been taken from 2016-2020.
