Purpose

In the summer of 2024, a monitoring study was conducted in the Azorean Islands of Terceira (Portugal) to assess arthropod diversity and distribution in native and exotic forests. This initiative forms part of a project that aims to evaluate the impact of habitat structure change on arthropod food web complexity in Azorean forests. In particular, the study seeks to assess how changes in arthropod biodiversity are influenced by the structural complexity of forestsThe current dataset comprises terrestrial arthropods collected using SLAM (Sea, Land, and Air Malaise) traps across diverse forest strata and Pitfall traps
