CanadaMite: mite incidence in moss patches of 32 locations of western Canada (Chen et al. 2015)

Description

The mite data were collected by Youhua Chen (Chen et al. 2015) in western coasts of Canada. In Chen et al. (2015), 16 moss sampling locations were surveyed from the early days to the midst of June 2011, while another 16 moss sampling units were surveyed from the midst of June to the early days of July 2011.

Therefore, for the dataset, it has two columns, the first column contained the incidence or occurrence information of mites collected by first days of sampling (the early days to the midst of June 2011), while the second column contained the incidence of mites that were collected by the last days of the sampling
