Topsoil meso-fauna data from the Glastir Monitoring and Evaluation Programme, Wales 2013-2014
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.

-
Within each of 300 x 1km sample squares, a set of soil samples are taken from five pre-determined randomly dispersed locations (where possible). 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.
