Soil Macrofauna Counts from Wood-Boring Beetle Ecosystem Engineering Study

A dataset by Shudong Zhang, last updated May 2026, likely contains counts of soil macrofauna associated with wood-boring beetles. The data appears to be structured with columns for treatment groups and counts of animals found in wood and simulated holes.

Use Cases

• Analyze treatment effects on soil macrofauna abundance based on the 'Trt' column
• Compare fauna counts between wood and simulated habitats based on the 'wood' and 'hole' columns
• Calculate total fauna counts per sample based on the 'total' column

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0
• File size is 18.1 KB, indicating a compact and manageable dataset

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
