Soil macro-detritivore assemblage abundance and diversity, environmental variables and soil processes data

File includes data about the abundance and diversity of soil macro-detritivore assemblages and their functional groups, i.e. litter transformers (Diplopoda, Isopoda and epigeic earthworms) and soil engineers (anecic and endogeic earthworms), on each experimental plots. It also includes plots characteristics, environmental variables used in the path analysis, soil processes data and abundance data for each species

Collembolan and understory plant abundance, diversity and community composition as well as environmental variables data

File includes data about the abundance and diversity of collembolan and their functional groups, i.e. epedaphic, hemiedaphic and euedaphic, on each experimental plots. It also includes plots characteristics, understory vegetation and environmental variables used in the path analysis. We also included the abundance and ordination scores of each species for both the collembolan and understory plant communities

Oak leaf litter trait & decomposability as well as environmental variables data

File includes data about the oak leaf litter trait (litter quality), decomposability (ex situ decomposition processes). It also includes plots characteristics and environmental variables (understory light availability, understory vegetation and soil abiotic properties) used in the path analysis. We also included the abundance of each species for the understory plant community
