Functional traits data for testate amoebae of Northern Holarctic realm
The functional traits of soil protists have been employed in ecological research to enhance comprehension of the underlying mechanisms of ecological processes. Among the numerous soil protists, testate amoebae emerge as a prominent and abundant group, playing a pivotal role in soil micro-food webs. Furthermore, they are regarded as valuable bioindicators for environmental monitoring and palaeoecological studies due to their sensitivity to environmental changes. We screened 372 testate amoebae species widely distributed across Northern Holarctic realm and collected trait data, representing the morphological and feeding characteristics of testate amoebae. The dataset would provide valuable basis for investigation of the functional diversity and ecological roles of testate amoebae, thus facilitating further research on soil protist communities and ecosystem dynamics.
