Abstract
Methods
Data was collected in a pot experiment with sown grassland communities, as described in the article.
Usage notes
water= hydrological conditions under which plant communitis grew from 2016 until 2019
L=waterlogged
D=dry
M=mesic
PL=temporary flooding
species: herbaceous plant species
Am= Achillea millefolium
Bp= Bellis perennis
Cb= Crepis biennis
Cj= Centaurea jacea
Ga= Galium mollugo agg.
Pl= Plantago lanceolata
Td= Trifolium dubium
Tp= Trifolium pratense
Vc= Vicia cracca
pot pot number
no. visitors number of insects touching flowers of herbaceous species
time spent seconds that insect stayed on flowers of a certain pot
time spent without rest seconds without insects resting on flowers for more than 60 s
visitor kind of visitor: BB= bumblebee, B= bee, D=dipteran species (visitor 1-4; one pot was never visited by more than four pollinators, time [s] 1 refers to time visitor 1 spent in the pot (and so on)
flow number of flowers touched by respective visitor
species richness number of different insect-pollinated species in community
present was plant species present in community (1=yes, 0=no)
occurring in flowering state did species flower in a given year (1=yes, 0=no)
abundance [%] abundance of herbaceous species in %, based on biomass production data (does not add up to 100, because graminoid species were present in communities as well)
biomass production [g] total biomass production of one pot in grams
herb weight weight of herbaceous species from one pot
grass weight weight of graminoid species from one pot
singly potted: results of floral traits for plants that grew singly in pots in 2018
NA means that data were not available or could not be measured (e.g. no floral traits could be measured when flowering species was not present)
