Description

The attached CSV file supports the article Below-ground pitfall traps for standardised monitoring of soil mesofauna: Design and comparison to Berlese/Tullgren funnels (Pedobiologia, Volume 101, 2023, 150911, ISSN 0031-4056, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pedobi.2023.150911) relative to its comparison part. It presents the specimen count of the deployed pitfall traps and Berlese/Tullgren extractions across five environments at different positions along transects.

The attached stl file is the blueprint for the 3d printable trap connector described and referenced in the same article.
