Abstract:
Abundance counts for ant species collected in a pitfall survey.
Design:
The 32 VIP plots from site B of the BEF-China tree diversity experiment were selected, representing a broken-stick design, where all tree species are represented as single-species stands and randomly combined into higher diversity mixtures. Four standardized pitfall traps per plot (plastic cups, diameter 8.5 cm, height 15 cm) were placed at the corners of the central 10 m × 10 m square. Traps were filled with Renner solution (40% ethanol, 30% water, 20% glycerol, 10% acetic acid, plus detergent) and emptied every two weeks between July and September, yielding five sampling periods (collection 1-5).
