1. Afforestations are globally increasing to produce timber and pulp wood, and to enhance carbon sequestration aiming at the mitigation of CO2 emissions. Large areas have been and will be afforested, particularly in China, in order to compensate f...

SP01 Pilot experiment monthly basal area and height growth. Species richness (1,2,4) can affect plant growth. We meassured monthly growth, to asses how these differences can affect growth in two different light conditions. We are particularly inte...

In order to develop species-specific allometric equations , the biomass of four species (species pool 1) used by SP5 were measured in parallel with our 15N labelling campaigns (summer and autum 2009, winter and spring 2010). The allometric equati...

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...

Leaf level herbivory of the four central individuals of the pilot experiment. The idea is to see if there are plant diversity effects on the level of damage experienced by the plants and if this effect is different among herbivors feeding guilds

Estimated data of individual biomass of July 2010 in Pilot experiment (SP7, Species Pool 1 & 3) by the allomerty equations. --- Including estimated tree biomass data of block 1, 2 & 3, and the harvest data of block 4.
