Methods

II. Data set Overview: In Hakusan site is the type and number of individuals data of the surface of the earth wandering beetles obtained by the pit fall trap survey. And research time is approximately July in late we conduct every year. ? For details of survey methods alpine Survey Manual ground wandering beetles. Please refer to the (http://www.biodic.go.jp/moni1000/manual/index.html).Data files research plot divided into each survey year.III. The contents of the data and description: Of the file name example Monitoring site 1000 alpine investigation of code (mot-az) _ site ID (4) + survey plot ID + survey items (beetle) _ survey year.xls ? Each of the Excel file you enter the survey date and survey sites such as summary sheet it has become the questionnaire you enter the survey results. ? For the data that there is a risk of overfishing etc. by public it has become a private. In addition until the announcement of the data acquisitions research paper about the data you wish to use preferentially has set a private period.From the manual ? http://www.biodic.go.jp/moni1000/manual/Alpine-region_ver2.pdf??????? = Ground wandering beetles (page 36)Research objectives: As an indicator of the impact of environmental changes on the soil ecosystem understand the changes in the species composition of the surface of the earth wandering beetles.[Setting of the study area]: - In the vicinity of the vegetation survey point to set up the survey sites. Further considering the characteristics of the site past the site of the study has been carried out to set the point in consideration of its location.[Survey timing and frequency] ? 1 to conduct a survey in the 3 -year intervals. At least once / year of alpine plants flowering High (Hakusan site: roughly 7 carried out in the month late). It is desirable to set a preliminary date.[Survey methods]: - A diameter of about 60 ~ 70mm embedded in the plastic cup of a height of about 90mm in plots sushi powder support Nagi powder: the (each 10ml teaspoon about 2 cups) as bait set up a whole day and night. ? 1 the trap number of plots and 20. Defined arrangement such as the forest site in Takayama frame 20 arrangement for a flame does not matter at random. 10 basically sushi powder the pupa powder 10 is installed. - To collect the beetles that are falling into the trap overnight after a lapse. ? For the night of the rainfall of the trap during the installation range can be seen is the investigator for the presence and intensity time of the rain record in range. Other to fill in the remarks column points if it is noticed in the weather and the trap and the like. ? After the recovery is to count the number of individuals were identified. However identification difficult species is to ask the experts.[Systems and the amount of work study]: And research at a time both the installation and recovery for 1 to 2 people possible in one day (two days in the Installation and recovery). And identified in the analysis takes a long time. Sampling of implementation is also possible for beginners but ensure sample of identification is possible experts is necessary.[Data obtained]: - Carabidae number of individuals that have been identified as the type of beetle such as [Necessary equipment etc.] Plastic cup sushi powder pupa powder Teguwa gloves Ethyl acetate (sample fixed for chemicals) insecticides tube tweezers.? Unit of abundance = AggregatedCount, Unit of biomass = NA
