DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

1. Description of dataset

These data were generated to investigate the effects of wild boar rooting on soil mites in boreal forests

2. File List: 
	File  Name: Nadia_Maaroufi_Bornsjondata.xlsx
	File  Description: natural and artificial rooting experiment data

	
METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Soil mites were extracted using tullgren funnel method.
Soil parameters were measured using standard protocoles.
Details methodology are availbale in the article DOI : 10.1098/rsos.211283
