The abundance data presented here focus on saproxylic beetles collected over two years on trees in a mountain forest ecosystem (analysed and discussed in Thorn etal. 2016). The design consists of 12 plots each composed of three experimentally felled trees, resulting in a total of 36 experimental felled trees. In each plot, the bark of one tree was completely removed, the bark of a second tree was only partially removed (i.e., bark-scratched), and the third tree served as a control. The design is thus composed of 12 replications of three different treatments (i.e., control, bark-scratched, and debarked). A total of 120 species of saproxylic beetles were trapped with emergence traps on felled trees (Thorn etal. 2016).
