Table 1. Summary of the soil animal community studies included in the dataset in East Asia.
Table 2. The sampling details for 14 sites in East Asia, Table 2. The sampling details for 14 sites in East Asia, where TH = Tahe, ARS = Aershan, CBS = Changbaishan, DLS = Donglingshan, BTM = Baotianman, BDGS = Badagongshan, TTS = Tiantongshan, SMT = Shimentai, JFL = Jianfengling, XSBN = Xishuangbanna, GH = Guanghua, SPK = Sapporo, HMA = Hiroshima, and YS = Yushan.
Table 3. Information on environment for 14 study sites in East Asia, where MAT = mean annual temperature, MTCM = mean temperature of the coldest months, EMT = extreme minimum temperature, MAP = mean annual precipitation, SOC = soil organic carbon, and SBD= soil bulk density
Table 4. Monte Carlo permutation tests results of environmental factors in East Asia. The “*”, “**”, and “***” represent p ≤ 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001, respectively. (Note: MAT = mean annual temperature, MTCM = mean temperature of the coldest months, EMT = extreme minimum temperature, MAP = mean annual precipitation, SOC = soil organic carbon, and SBD = soil bulk density.)
Table 5. The rate of dissimilarity among species composition across all possible plot pairs along the spatial or environmental gradient in East Asia. The “*”, “**”, and “***” represent p ≤ 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001, respectively. (Note: MAT = mean annual temperature, MTCM = mean temperature of the coldest months, EMT = extreme minimum temperature, MAP = mean annual precipitation, SOC = soil organic carbon, and SBD = soil bulk density.)
