Soil Food Web Energy Fluxes and Tree Community Effects in European Forests

665.2 KB of raw data and R code for reconstructing soil food webs and calculating energy fluxes across European forests. The dataset, authored by Ludovic Henneron, includes statistical analyses and principal component analyses code to assess the effect of tree communities. It was last updated on May 7, 2026.

Use Cases

• Model soil food web structure and energy transfer based on raw ecological data.
• Assess the statistical relationship between tree community composition and soil energy flow.
• Perform principal component analysis on soil ecological variables using the provided R code.
• Replicate or extend the study's methodology for energy flux calculation in other forest systems.

Strengths

• Includes both raw data and the complete R code for analysis and replication.
• Explicitly covers a multi-site study across European forests.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 665.2 KB size suggests a limited scope or a highly focused dataset.
