Dataset of the manuscript "Assessing the influence of Eisenia andrei on the decomposition of Casuarina equisetifolia litter in vermicompost."

Description

Data generated during an experiment of decomposition of Casuarina equisetifolia litter by the application of vermicompost (VC) or the combination vermicompost + the earthworm Eisenia andrei (E). Six files are included: "readme.csv" is a file where we explain the meaning of each column (and in which units is expressed) in each of the other five files. "earthworm_N_biomass.csv" is a table with the number of Eisenia andrei individuals and the total earthworm fresh weight in each of the experimental units we sampled "FTIR_spectra.csv" is a file with the raw spectral data we obtained from the litter by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy combined with Attenuated Total Reflectance (FTIR-ATR). First column indicate the wavenumber (cm-1) and the other columns indicate the absorbance values of each litter sample for each wavenumber. "litter_chemical_composition.csv" is a file with the raw data of the concentrations of different chemical elements measured in C. equisetifolia litter collected at different decomposition times. "litter_mass_loss.csv" contains the dry weight data of the litter at time 0 and after each collection time, as well as the percentage of litter mass loss with time. . "mesofaunal_com.csv" are the numbers of individuals of several groups of mesofaunal organisms (collembolans, mites, and others) we recovered in each of our experimental units.
