Potapov, Nadine Dupérré, Malte Jochum, Kerstin Dreczko, Bernhard Klarner, Andrew D. Barnes, Valentyna Krashevska, Katja Rembold, Holger Kreft, Ulrich Brose, Rahayu Widyastuti, Danilo Harms, Stefan Scheu, published in Ecology.
The study was conducted in the framework of the EFForTS project (http://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/310995.html), investigating ecological and socioeconomic changes associated with the transformation of lowland rainforest into agricultural systems. Four land-use systems – rainforest (forest, F), jungle rubber agroforest (J), rubber monoculture (R) and oil palm monoculture (O) were studied across two regions (Harapan and Bukit Duabelas landscape) in Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia.
The data set consists of four files - two community matrices of spiders, one table describing the sampling sites and one table describing the taxonomy and traits of spiders. The data based on two collection events with different methods, different years and different sampling areas. Thus, the two community matrices are not directly comparable.
