Leaf, twig, stem and root samples were taken from eight “target” species (four trees, two deciduous: Castanea henryi, Quercus serrata and two evergreen: Castanopsis eyrei, Schima superba; four shrubs, one deciduous: Rhododendron simsii and three e...

This file contains data about the absolute and relative mass loss of defined pieces of wood over one year. Furthermore, the data give an overview about whether termites or fungi were involved in the degradation.

Corrections of tags given to tree stems in the CSPs. Tree size measurements (basal diameter, diameter at breast height, height) of the trees in the CSPs performed in 2010.

Data on the individual total dry biomass of the individuals in the center of each plot in the pilot experiment harvested in autumn 2010

These data contain fresh and dry weight information of sample DISCS from harvest tress (Schima superba) unsed in the Ecoscape experiment. They are used as helper to calculate initial dry weight of the samples in the Ecoscape

We integrated multiple components of plant and herbivore diversity to unravel the linkages that drive biodiversity relationships and determine the consequences of biodiversity loss across trophic levels. Our study suggests that lepidopteran phylog...
