Rain was captured in open field and in vegetated conditions parallel to measurements in the Comparative study plots (CSPs). Throughfall as well as sandloss from splashcups can be used to derive kinetic energy from raindrops.

Soil sampling was carried out on a subset of 100 plots of two overlapping extinction scenarios on Site A (Extinction scenario A and B). The samples were collected from young forest communities composed of 1 - 24 species (see general plot informati...

Bulk density of soil horizons for all 27 comparative study plots.

This dataset provides information about the remaining leaf litter mass of the Unlabelled NILEx litter decomposition plots.

We measured the concentration of C and N in fine roots of 124 tree and shrub species in the CSPs. This work contributes three addtional traits to the plant trait database: Root N concentration, root C concentration and C/N ratio and will deliver d...

Trap nests are a well established tool to monitor cavity-nesting Hymenoptera and to assess parasitism rates. Despite only 5-10% of all non parasitoid solitary bee and wasp species are colonizing trap nests, it has been show that the cavity-nesting...
