Zenodo, https://doi.org/10.5281/ZENODO.3565374

Here we present abundance data (i.e. individuals per square metre) of soil macro-invertebrates from Alpine European larch and Swiss pine forests, as well as mixed forests. The forests are located in the LTSER area "Val Mazia/Matschertal" in the Vinschgau Valley, South Tyrol, Italy. Each three replicates from each forest type (larch, pine, and mixed) were sampled in late summer 2017. The animals were sampled with soil cores; the samples were split into soil and litter layer. Representatives of the mesofauna (i.e. Acari and Collembola) were excluded from the analyses. ** For all details see the full metadata description at "https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.910664"!
