Data on the individual total dry biomass of the individuals in the center of each plot in the pilot experiment harvested in autumn 2010

These data contain fresh and dry weight information of sample DISCS from harvest tress (Schima superba) unsed in the Ecoscape experiment. They are used as helper to calculate initial dry weight of the samples in the Ecoscape

Biological soil crusts (BSCs) were sampled in runoff plots of sites A and B in 2013. This is the species list containing bryophytes.

The BEF-China forest experiment studies the role of tree diversity in ecosystem functioning in subtropical forests. This data includes aggregated Basal area by Comparative Study Plots (CSP) in the Gutianshan National Nature Reserve. Basal area is ...

While diversity-invasibility relationships have often been addressed in experimental grassland communities, experimental approaches in forests are less common, especially in species-rich subtropical regions. Forest ecosystems feature higher comple...

Leaf damage by insect herbivores can severely affect the growth and fitness of plants and is considered to play an important role in the maintenance of high tree diversity in (sub)tropical forests. The trees of the main experimental plantations of...
