Samples of insects and spiders directly from randomly selected saplings of the Comparative Study Plots, obtained with beating tray sampling. Enables to test to what extent woody plant diversity affects the abundance, species composition and divers...

We used DNA-barcoding to identify herbivore-host plant associations along declining levels of tree diversity in a large-scale, subtropical biodiversity experiment. We tested for effects of tree species richness, host functional and phylogenetic di...

Phylogenetic tree of lepidopteran caterpillars sampled on the Main Experiment. Supplement to Wang et al. 2020.

We studied eight tree species growing in a long gradient of local neighbourhood tree species richness (0 - 7 heterospecific neighbours). We assessed biodiversity effects on water availability by using a target tree’s twig wood carbon isotope compo...

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...
