Trap nests (eigth traps per plot; four traps each attached to a wooden post; located at two randomly selected corners the corners of the central 10 x 10 m subplot) were used to collect solitary bees and wasps in the CSPs. Abundance and species ric...

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.

The probability of a tree stem to break from an ice storm, if a random species was picked. The data results as random plot effects from a random effects model including taxon (species) and plot as random factors. Thus, breakage probability is stan...

Biological soil crusts (BSCs) were sampled in runoff plots of sites A and B in 2013. This is the species list containing bryophytes.

This data documents the shrub growth parameters in 2012 for site A, belonging to the annual inventory taking place for both site A and site B. Individual-shrub growth is a function of stand attributes, local neighbors, plant size, plant damage, ge...
