This data shows the canopy cover of 291 core plots for site A and B of the main experiment in the year 2024. Measurements for this data took place in early August 2024 before the deciduosu trees would start losing their leaves. This data was extra...

Soil chemical laboratory analyses of all 27 comparative study plots. Contents of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur as well as pH-values (H2O and KCl) of six depth increments per CSP. Total depth is 50 cm.

This data documents the tree growth parameters for seven years from 2010 to 2016 for site A of the main experiment. Measurements for this data took place at the end of the growing season of deciduous trees, mainly in September and October of each ...

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...

Exotic species are assumed to alter ecosystem functioning. However, little is known of the relationships within vertically structured plant communities such as forests, where tree saplings interact with herbaceous species, especially in the early ...

This is the 2008 CSP PLFA data from a subset of 12 CSPs representing the age gradient. Samples were analyzed over the depth profile of each CSP (see detailed methods below) and analyzed for phospholipid fatty acid profiles, which represent both th...
