Local tree-tree interactions have been identified as a key mechanism underlying biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships. The complementary use of the canopy space by coexisting species increases canopy packing, thereby promoting community...

For each TSQ, the nearest surrounding trees were identified. The diversity and density were calculated.

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 ...

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 3 EFN-tree species (Ailanthus altissima, Melia azedarach, Triadica coch...

Sand-filled splash cups were used to study the erosivity of rainfall and throughfall in the humid subtropics of southeast China. Our results showed that the splash cup measurements yielded precise and reproducible results both under open field con...
