Herb layer vegetation surveys were conducted in August–September 2024 during the field campaign of the third TreeDi cohort. Sampling was carried out in experimental units referred to as TSQ (Tree Species Quartets). Within each TSQ, herb layer vege...

Soil physical analyses of all 27 comparative study plots. Mass-% of 8 grain size classes of fine earth < 2 mm of six depth increments per CSP. Total depth is 50 cm. Grain sizes discriminate between sand, silt, and clay.

We used DNA-barcoding to identify herbivore-host plant associations along declining levels of tree diversity in a large-scale, subtropical biodiversity experiment. We tested for effects of tree species richness, host functional and phylogenetic di...

Extreme climatic events threaten forests and their climate mitigation potential globally. Understanding the drivers promoting ecosystem stability is therefore considered crucial for mitigating adverse climate change effects on forests. Here, we us...
