Crop Pollination Database

How to use the database:

The database is stored as three .csv files you can find in Final_Data folder. Here you will find the latest version (See News.md). Stable releases can be found in Zenodo: DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4311291

• CropPol_field_level_data.csv contains one row per field and study system with summary values per field incuding field coordinates, pollintor richness, yield, etc...
• CropPol_sampling_data.csv contains pollinator sampling data on which pollinators where collected per field.
• CropPol_data_ownership.csv contains information on data authors, affiliations and funding.

Please, check Metadata here and understand the data limitations here

If you want to dig into raw data files, all reproducible data and code to build the database is under the Processing_files folder.

How to cite the database:

Please cite CropPol database when the data are used in bulk in publications and cite individual studies when pertinent.

How to contribute?

We encourage you to add new data to this database. If you are github user, just clone the repo, and follow the instrucions in Your_new_study folder. When ready, make us a pull request and we will add the new data.

If you are not familiar with github, don't worry, just download the template, fill it up and open an issue to let us know where we can access the template.

This is the workflow for github users (A) and non-users (B).
