We used DNA-barcoding to identify herbivore-host plant associations along declining levels of tree diversity in a large-scale, subtropical biodiversity experiment. We tested for effects of tree species richness, host functional and phylogenetic di...

Geological and geomorphical characterisation of the area in which the CSPs and the Experimental Sites of the BEF-China Project are located.

Species list and phylogenetic tree for all native woody species in Gutianshan Natural Nature Reserve, including species from CSPs.

The BEFdata portal allows to import research data directly from an Excel 2003 workbook. To get most out of the workbook, it's good to know that the "General Metadata" sheet saves dataset ownership, as well as general information of where, how, and...

The BEFmod experiment is subject to a manipulation of resource supply and biotic impacts to examine whether Biodiversity-Ecosystem-Functioning (BEF) relationships may change under different environmental influences. BEFmod was conducted on subplot...

In forests, the herbaceous understory vegetation plays an important role for ecosystem functioning as it represents a significant component of total aboveground productivity. In addition, the herb layer contributes to overall forest species richne...
