Abstract

Motivation

Soil communities are highly diverse. Due to a lack of spatially attributed data, our understanding of the geographical distribution of soil biodiversity across Europe and the factors driving this distribution remains limited. The NemEu database aims to fill this gap by providing nematode community data at genus or family level across Europe. This level of taxonomic resolution facilitates the discovery of nematode distribution patterns beyond feeding-group level, as well as the calculation of nematode-based indices of soil food-web dynamics.

Main Types of Variable Contained

The dataset contains nematode abundance data classified by taxon, along with associated metadata: geographic coordinates, sampling date and season, soil depth, land use type, and site descriptors.

Spatial Location and Grain

The NemEu database encompasses 1567 unique European locations, primarily concentrated in western Europe, spanning latitudes from southern Portugal to the Ural Mountains. The precision of the coordinates varies from approximately 11 km to 0.01 m.

Time Period and Grain

Sampling spans from 1975 to 2020, where 90% of locations were sampled between 1999 and 2020. The season of sampling is recorded for all locations, and the year for all but two. Sampling month and day are available for 76% and 60% of locations, respectively.

Major Taxa and Level of Measurement

A total of 276 nematode taxa were recorded, of which 56 families and 220 genera.

NemEu：欧洲属或科水平线虫群落数据库

土壤群落高度多样化。由于缺乏空间属性数据，我们对整个欧洲土壤生物多样性的地理分布和驱动这种分布的因素的理解仍然有限。NemEu数据库旨在通过提供全欧洲属或科水平的线虫群落数据来填补这一空白。这种水平的分类学分辨率有助于发现超越摄食群体水平的线虫分布模式，以及计算基于线虫的土壤食物网动态指数。该数据集包含按分类单元分类的线虫丰度数据，以及相关的元数据：地理坐标、采样日期和季节、土壤深度、土地利用类型和站点描述符。NemEu数据库包含1567个独特的欧洲地点，主要集中在西欧，横跨从葡萄牙南部到乌拉尔山脉的纬度。坐标的精度从大约11公里到0.01米不等。时间周期和粮食采样范围从1975年到2020年，其中90%的地点是在1999年到2020年之间采样的。所有地点都记录了采样的季节，除了两个地点外，其他地点都记录了采样的年份。76%和60%的地点分别提供采样月份和日期。主要分类群及测量水平共记录线虫276个分类群，隶属56科220属。软件格式：csv。

期刊介绍： Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) welcomes papers that investigate broad-scale (in space, time and/or taxonomy), general patterns in the organization of ecological systems and assemblages, and the processes that underlie them. In particular, GEB welcomes studies that use macroecological methods, comparative analyses, meta-analyses, reviews, spatial analyses and modelling to arrive at general, conceptual conclusions. Studies in GEB need not be global in spatial extent, but the conclusions and implications of the study must be relevant to ecologists and biogeographers globally, rather than being limited to local areas, or specific taxa. Similarly, GEB is not limited to spatial studies; we are equally interested in the general patterns of nature through time, among taxa (e.g., body sizes, dispersal abilities), through the course of evolution, etc. Further, GEB welcomes papers that investigate general impacts of human activities on ecological systems in accordance with the above criteria.
