Table 1 Descriptors included in the PolLimCrop dataset, with description and descriptor levels.
From: PolLimCrop, a global dataset of pollen limitation in crops
Descriptor name | Description | Descriptor levels |
|---|---|---|
line | Unique identifier assigned to each line | Number [1–1169] |
unicode | Unique code, constructed using “line”, the first 3 letters of the first author’s last name, “year of the experiment”, “crop”, “plant accession” and “factors” | NA |
article code | Study identifier, represented by 1st author’s last name, publication year and DOI | e.g. Castro_2021_”DOI” |

plant accession | Cultivar, subspecies, clone or another further taxonomic rank and/or subtype given by the published document | NA |
crop part | Crop’s economically used part (i.e. seed or fruit) | Seed [S] or fruit [F] |
continent | Continent location of the experiment | NA |
country | Country location of the experiment | NA |
locality | Specific location of the experiment | NA |
latitude; longitude | Geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) in decimal degrees. If not given, the most specific location was used for obtaining the coordinates | NA |
precision | Precision indication for geographic coordinates | given coordinates [S]; estimated coordinates [E] |
year of the experiment | Year in which the pollination experiment was performed (first year given in multiple-year experiments). | NA |
scale | Scale levels of the experiment | Individual flower [flower], branch [branch], inflorescence or cluster [inflor.] or entire plant [plant] |
supplement type | Additional treatments applied to the hand supplementation treatment | Hand pollen supplementation (HPS) [H], HPS with pollinator exclusion [BH], HPS with the emasculation of flowers [EH], HPS with pollinator exclusion and the emasculation of flowers [BEH] |
factors | Attributes that make the entries statistically independent within the same study | NA |
production variables + pollination treatments + type of data | Data (mean [m], standard deviation [sd], and sample number [n]) related to production variables associated with the pollination treatments included in the dataset | Production variable levels: Fruit set [FS], seed set [SS], seed number [SN], fruit weight [FW] and seed weight [SW]; Pollination treatment levels: hand pollen supplementation [SUP], natural pollination [NAT], pollinator exclusion [BAG]; e.g. FS_SUP_m |
PL proportion | Pollen deposition limitation (PL) proportion values calculated for each entry | In proportion (0–1) |
PL effect size | Pollen deposition limitation (PL) effect size values calculated for each entry | Effect size (log response ratio) |
effect size constant | Constant use indication for calculation of the effect size | With constant [Y]; with no constant [N] |
