The dataset on terrestrial testate amoebae from forest-steppe ecotone (Middle Volga Territory, Russia) in 2004-2006

Citation

Description

A dataset contains 3123 unique occurrences of 86 testate amoebae species (species, genera, and families) from Sphagnum bogs of forest-steppe ecotone (the Middle Volga territory, Russia) with data on microtopography (hummocks, lawns, hollows or not available), oxidizing and reducing potential (redox), total mineralization (TDS), substrate temperature, acidity (Ph), substrate moisture and water table depth (WTD). It is based on field studies performed by Mazei Yuri, Tsyganov Andrei, Bubnova Olga, and Chernyshov Viktor from 2004 to 2006. The dataset contains occurrences and geographic coordinates of terrestrial testate amoebae species occurring in Sphagnum bogs with botanical descriptions of nine represented mires. All samples were prepared using the washing method and water suspension concentration. All data has been published in the related publications Mazei and Tsyganov, 2007a; Mazei et al., 2007a; Mazei et al., 2007b; Mazei and Bubnova, 2007a; Mazei and Tsyganov, 2007b; Tsyganov and Mazei, 2007; Mazei and Bubnova, 2008; Mazei and Bubnova, 2009; Mazei et al., 2009; Mazei and Bubnova, 2007b; Mazei et al., 2007b (See reference list).
