Stable isotope composition of plants and soil animals in abandoned arable
land Dataset provides raw data on stable isotope composition of C and N of
plants and soil meso- and macrofauna. Dominating animal groups were
collected in arable fallow systems 3 and 14-16 years after abandonment.
Animals were sampled from the rhizosphere of three plant species of
different functional groups: a legume (Medicaco sativa), a non-legume herb
(Taraxacum officinale) and a grass (Bromus sterilis). More information can
be found in the associated paper.
Soil fauna was collected using conventional method of heat extraction
(Kempson). Fauna was collected non-quantitatively, targeting the
rizosphere of the sertain plant species. Fauna was identified mostly to
species or genus level. All dominating taxa were dried and analysed for
stable isotope composition of carbon and nitrogen using IRMS at the
Kompetenzzentrum Stabile Isotopen, University of Goettingen. Plant shoots
and roots were collected, dried and milled before the stable isotope
analysis.
Plant isotopic composition was used as the isotopic baseline in the study
(shoots and roots).
