Longitude

The longitude coordinate of the observation in that row. (double)

Country

The country in which the observation in that row is located. (character)

Taxa_level

The taxonomic level that is common to all of the biodiversity recorded in that row. (character)

Taxa_name

The name of the taxonomic level that is common to all of the biodiversity recorded in that row. (character)

Order

The taxonomic order of the biodiversity measured in that row, for both the treatment and control. (character)

Family

The taxonomic family of the biodiversity measured in that row, for both the treatment and control. (character)

Genus

The taxonomic genus of the biodiversity measured in that row, for both the treatment and control. (character)

Binomial

The Latin binomial of the species in that row, if it has been recorded. (character)

Life_history_stage

The life-history stage of the taxa in that row. (character)

Experimental_year_start

The year in which data collection started. (integer)

Experimental_year_end

The year in which data collection ended. (integer)

Sampling_method

The sampling method used to sample the biodiversity measure. (character)

Biodiversity_metric

The metric of biodiversity measured. Biodiversity_metric should typically be one of “Abundance”, “Richness”, or “Biomass”. (character)

Unit

The more specific unit of measure for the biodiversity recorded in that row. (character)

IUCN_threat_category_1

Broadest level of IUCN threat. (character)

IUCN_threat_category_2

Secondary level of IUCN threat. (character)

IUCN_threat_category_3

Tertiary level of IUCN threat. (character)

Treatment

Name of the threat measured in that row (e.g. insecticide). (character)

Treatment_quantity

The quantity of treatment reported by the authors for that observation. (double)

Treatment_quantity_unit

The unit of measure for the numeric value in Treatment_quantity. (character)

Control

Name of the control measured in that row (e.g. no insecticide). (character)

Control_N

The number of control sites from which the mean and error values were drawn. (integer)

Control_Mean

The mean biodiversity value across all control sites for that comparison. (double)

Control_error

The raw control error value reported by the authors for that observation. (double)

Control_error_type

The type of error recorded on Control_error. Typically this will be one of “Standard error”, “Standard deviation”, or “95% confidence interval”. (character)

Contributor_name

Name of the contributor for that row. (character)

Search_date

Date on which the final optimised search is carried out. (date)
