基于陷阱法采集的河西走廊戈壁荒漠甲虫数据集

Beetle data set collected by pitfall trapping in the gobi desert of the Hexi Corridor

戈壁荒漠甲虫多样性对气候变化和人类活动干扰的响应十分敏感,甲虫数量、多样性及其功能性状可用于评估戈壁荒漠生态系统的健康与稳定。戈壁荒漠甲虫分布及多样性月动态变化数据积累可为荒漠生态系统动物多样性保护与维持机制研究提供数据支撑。河西走廊中部是戈壁荒漠主要分布区之一,2012年研究组在河西走廊中部的甘肃省临泽县北部干旱荒漠国家沙化土地封禁保护区内建立了地表甲虫分布及多样性的长期监测样地。本数据主要汇集了戈壁荒漠地表甲虫物种组成、物种照片、活动节律、数量及功能性状信息数据。该数据集可用于典型荒漠甲虫种属识别、典型甲虫种功能性状比对及其时空分布格局对气候变化及人类活动扰动的响应研究。

The diversity of beetles in the gobi desert is highly sensitive to climate change and human disturbance,the number,diversity,and functional traits of beetles can be used to evaluate the health and stability of the gobi desert ecosystem.The accumulation of monthly dynamic changes in the distribution and diversity of beetles in the gobi desert can provide data support for the study of animal diversity protection and maintenance mechanisms in desert ecosystems.The central part of the Hexi Corridor is one of the main distribution areas of the gobi desert.In 2012,we established a long-term monitoring set for the distribution and diversity of ground beetles in the north of Linze state desertification land blocking reserve,Gansu Province,located in the central part of the Hexi Corridor.This dataset mainly accumulates information on ground beetle species composition,beetle species photos,activity rhythms,quantity,and functional traits in the gobi desert.This dataset can be used for the identification of typical desert beetle species,the comparison of functional traits of typical beetle species and their spatial and temporal distribution patterns in response to climate change and anthropogenic perturbations.
