1. Biodiversity is considered to mitigate detrimental impacts of climate change on the functioning of forest ecosystems, such as drought-induced decline in forest productivity. However, previous studies produced controversial results and experimen...

Extrafloral nectar (EFN) is rich in sugars and amino acids and mediates the protection-for-food mutualism between EFN-plants and ants. We analyzed (via HPLC) 8 samples for the 2 EFN-tree species (Ailanthus altissima, Triadica cochinchinensis) plan...

TreeDÌ project: TSP list for site A and B contains all possible TSPs combinations, plot names and parametres, TSPs and Neighbours trees coordinates, their species, their current situation (dead/alive/not available) and all trees circumference meas...

New sites were chosen for more genetic information at high elevation conditions near the Comparative Study Plots (CSP).

Biomass is a proxy for assessing herb layer productivity. In contrast to most traits it is easy practicable and therefore feasible repeatedly. Since the proportion of functional groups is informative for community structure biomass was harvested s...
