Within the framework of the ConservES project, supported by Biodiversa+, a European partnership seeking to promote biodiversity and its services in agricultural landscapes, ground-dwelling spider communities were studied winter cereal fields and their field margins in Belgium. Sampling was conducted using pitfall traps at ten localities across Wallonia during three periods of the cereal-growing season. This study presents the spider inventory obtained from these surveys and highlights patterns of species diversity across sites and habitats.
