Phylogenetic beta diversity between successional stages of the comparative study sites

The data file contains the corrected species names for the tip labels of the phylogenetic tree. The attached text file is the phylogenetic tree. Methods concerning the phylogenetic tree see below sampling description.

Traits are derived from gridding the range of a given species and then summarizing the values in each single grid cell. Climatic niche traits in this dataset include minimum and maximum temperatures in winter as well as precipition in winter.

Plant traits are aggregated from the datasets "Decomposition rates of wood in the Comparative Study plots, debris items with soil contacts in coarse mesh nets", "Leaf litter decomposition in Gutianshan: decomposition rates (k-values)", "Aggregate...

The deadwood mycobiome, also known as wood-inhabiting fungi (WIF), are among the key players in wood decomposition, having a large impact on nutrient cycling in forest soils. However, our knowledge of WIF richness and distribution patterns in diff...

We measured the concentration of C and N in fine roots of 124 tree and shrub species in the CSPs. This work contributes three addtional traits to the plant trait database: Root N concentration, root C concentration and C/N ratio and will deliver d...
