Soil chemical laboratory analyses of all 27 comparative study plots. Contents of exchangable Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, H, effective Cation Exchange Capacity (CECeff; extraction with 1 M NH4Cl) and base saturation (BS) from soil horizons of each soil ...

Trees with extrafloral nectaries (EFN) are common in tropical and subtropical forests and the presence of EFN trees within a tree community may influence tree growth. In this dataset EFN-tree-visiting arthropods were collected on all EFN tree spec...

Last updated Nov 14th 2011 The pilot experiment is a tree seedling biodiversity experiment for analyzing the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships with young trees. It is also providing an option for successive destructive harvests. Ea...

Soil physical analyses of all 27 comparative study plots. Mass-% of 8 grain size classes of fine earth < 2 mm from soil horizons of each soil profile per CSP. Grain sizes discriminate between sand, silt, and clay.

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...

We sampled trophobioses from 21 May to 20 August 2011 on site A. We selected in total 146 plots from tree diversity level 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. Because there are only two plots with tree diversity 24, we did not study the highest available tree dive...
