NERC Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/1c5cf317-2f03-4fef-b060-9eccbb4d9c21 This data set includes counts of soil meso-fauna collected from topsoil within a wide range of land use types across Wales, collected as part of the Glastir Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (GMEP). Meso-fauna include collembola (springtails) and acari (mites). The monitoring programme was set up by the Welsh Government in 2013 to monitor the effects of the Glastir agri-environment scheme on the environment and ran from 2013 to 2016. The field survey element was based on a stratified random sampling design of 300 x 1km square sites across Wales, and was managed by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.

The soil sample analysed for soil fauna is taken using a white plastic core (‘F-core’), 8cm long, from a location co-incident with vegetation surveys. After collection, the soil cores were posted as soon as possible to laboratories at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Lancaster, for faunal extraction. To ensure confidentiality of the data with respect to land owners and managers, the locations of 1km squares and survey sites were converted to the centres of the containing 10km Ordnance Survey grid squares.
