We integrated multiple components of plant and herbivore diversity to unravel the linkages that drive biodiversity relationships and determine the consequences of biodiversity loss across trophic levels. Our study suggests that lepidopteran phylog...

Microclimate (temperature and relative humidity) and biotic factors (decomposer colonization and tree species diversity) drive wood decomposition. However, their inter-correlations make it necessary to decouple direct and indirect effects. Further...

1. Biodiversity is considered to mitigate detrimental impacts of climate change on the functioning of forest ecosystems, such as drought-induced decline in forest productivity. However, previous studies produced controversial results and experimen...

This is a collection of all data gathered by all participating projects of the BEFmod Experiment. This document does not provide any data but aims at giving an overview on which type of data is available from all participating subprojects of the...

TreeDÌ project: TSP list for site A and B contains all possible TSPs combinations, plot names and parametres, TSPs and Neighbours trees coordinates, their species, their current situation (dead/alive/not available) and all trees circumference meas...

Questions: One tenet of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning research is the dependence of ecosystem functions on species-specific differences in traits. Community assembly theory predicts niche differentiation among the constituent species, for...
