Avian communities of betel nut agroforestry and secondary forest in Taiwan

This was the first avian dataset focused on betel nut agroforestry, providing detailed bird occurrence data for betel nut plantations and secondary forests. The dataset is particularly useful for understanding how agriculture alters ecological services in human-modified landscapes. Data were collected during the breeding seasons (March to May) of 2015 and 2016 across 80 sites in four counties of central Taiwan. Each site included five sampling points, with avian community data recorded twice per season at each point. This publicly available dataset on GBIF offers valuable insights into avian biodiversity and habitat use in agricultural ecosystems.
