This data set set belongs to the SP5 litter decomposition experiment that was structured in three parts. First we determined single-species litter decomposition constants of 26 woody species, second litter decomposition of Schima superba was asses...

Litterfall production is an important linkage between aboveground and belowground. Most studies are carried out in tropical forests or a single forest plantation, few leaf litter data, however, are available for subtropical forests along a chrono...

Leaf toughness assessed on individual trees of species growing in the CSPs in Gutianshan Nature Reserve. For each tree seven leaves were sampled in most cases. Every single value for every leaf is given. Exceptions were made in species with very s...

Leaf traits of tree species, including chemical elements, leaf tensile strength, stomata characteristics, and secondary metabolites. Note that these data are species averages derived from the dataset "Leaf traits and chemicals from individual tree...
