Environment
Habitat: temperate broadleaf/mixed forest
Protection: nature reserve
Substrate: ground surface
Methods
Life forms: ground beetles
Sites: 11
Site area: 0.11
Sampling methods: quadrat,pitfall traps
Sample size: 1178 individuals
Years: 2011, 2012
Nets or traps: 176
Sampling comments: "the plots themselves measured 10 m x 10 m" and "Four pitfall traps comprising plastic cups... were placed in each corner of each sampling plot. To increase sample sizes, an additional 4 traps were added in the midpoint between neighbouring corner cups in the final 3 weeks of the sampling period in 2012 at all plots" (figure of 176 is therefore a minimum)
