Dryad data related to the article Velilla et al 2021 ÒVibrational noise from wind energy-turbines negatively impacts earthworm abundanceÓ published in Oikos. General descriptors Date Date on which made the measurements Location Farm in which we took measurements. We measured windmills located on 2 biological farms; van Andel bio. b.v. and Douwe Monsma Beheer Windmill Windmill we used for measurements. We numbered them from 1 Ð 7. Distance The distance from the windmill to the measuring point in meters; 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256 meters. Transect We measured on 2 transects per windmill. Transect 1 and 2. Time Time of the day Excluded from analysis Penetrometer Force in (Newtons) required to penetrate the soil Ref Reference based on which we calculated the amplitude difference. The reference was always the loudest recording from a transect and was always the closest in distance to the windmill (e.g. always at 4 m) Waypoint GPS location of every windmill Excluded from analysis Trial Attempt No. Excluded from analysis Geophone We used two geophones for accuracy One geophone excluded from analysis Abiotic data RMS Root mean square = amplitude measurement taken from the wave form Amp.change Difference in amplitude (in dB) using the loudest recording from a transect as the reference N Penetrometer measurements in Newtons. This is the force required to penetrate the soil Crop Type of crop in the field of measurement; no crop, onions, carrots, wheat, grass Windspeed Windspeed in Beaufort scale on the day of measurements. Always between 3-4 Beaufort Excluded from analysis Temp Air temperature Excluded from analysis Biotic data Small Abundance of all animals below 3mm Excluded from results Medium Abundance of all animals between 3mm Ð 1cm Excluded from results Large Abundance of all animals above 1cm Excluded from results Mesofauna categorized by group Springtails Abundance of all animals identified as springtails Excluded from results Mites Abundance of all animals identified as mites Excluded from results Predmites Abundance of all animals identified as predatory mites Excluded from results Beetle Abundance of all animals identified as beetles Excluded from results Fly Abundance of all animals identified as flies Excluded from results All mesofauna pooled Total Abundance of all mesofauna Mesofauna categorized by functional role Detritovores Abundance of all detritovores Excluded from results Microbovores Abundance of all microbovores Excluded from results Detrimicro Abundance of all detrimicro Excluded from results Carnivores Abundance of all carnivores Excluded from results Earthworms Worms Abundance of all earthworms, pooled
