Ecosystem functions of small rodents

Data collected at the field edges, interiors and centres of organic and conventional winter wheat fields in East and West Germany during the crop growing season in 2014. As response variables abundance of mice and voles, daily seed removal rate by rodents of G. aparine and T. aestivum, and crop dama...

Description
Summary:Data collected at the field edges, interiors and centres of organic and conventional winter wheat fields in East and West Germany during the crop growing season in 2014. As response variables abundance of mice and voles, daily seed removal rate by rodents of G. aparine and T. aestivum, and crop damage were measured/calculated and as explanatory variables region (East vs. West), management intensity (organic vs. conventional) and edge effects (transect: edge, interior, centre), as well as edge length, Shannon habitat diversity index (SHDI), crop density and wheat height were used.
