Here we present data on 26 morphological and chemical leaf traits of tree species in the Comparative Study Plots (CSPs) of the BEF-China Project. Leaves were sampled accoring to the procedures described in Cornelissen et al (2003), with only fully...

The contents of this script assembles all the columns from the raw data sheet that have not been typified as "text" in the column description sheet. In each of the columns it creates a list of unique entries for columns typified as "category" and...

Master-thesis: “Influence of diversity on N-distribution in canopy’s from subtropical trees in China”

These data were complied related to the question: Is there evidence for lateral N-transport from leaf litter to dead wood? Wood slices of different species (Pinus massonina, Schima superba, Quercus serrata) placed at different divers 15N labeled l...

To test the effect of biodiversity on arthropod pattern in the CSP we put 10 yellow sticky traps in each CSP. 5 traps are at 2 m from the ground and 5 traps were set up within the tree crown. The arthropod were then counted on each trap, separati...
