Reforestations of tropical forests alter interactions between web-building spiders and their prey

The dataset contains raw data of the study that investigates predator-prey interactions in forest understories using web-building spiders in four forest types in Thailand: dry evergreen forest representing a natural control (Evergreen1-6 in the data sheets) and three 20–30 years old reforestation types, namely secondary naturally regenerating dry evergreen forest (Secondary1-6), monoculture reforestation dominated by Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Monoculture1-6), and mixture reforestation dominated by Acacia mangium and E. camaldulensis (Mixture1-6).
