Trap nests are a well-established tool to monitor cavity-nesting Hymenoptera and to assess parasitism rates. Despite only 5-10% of all non-parasitoid solitary bee and wasp species are colonizing trap nests, it has been show that the cavity-nesting...

This dataset represents the accumulated climate data from HOBO loggers in randomly selected NON VIP plots from random extinction scenario B and C, as well as economic plots on Site A and Site B. The sensors were deposited in the plots in the fram...

Soil chemical laboratory analyses of 30 plots of site A of experimental study plots at Xingangshan. Samples were taken and provided from Thomas Scholten and Peter Kühn (Tübingen University). Analysis was done at Freiburg University with the Hedley...

Leaves of eight species (see 'taxonomic extent') were sampled from 71 plots on site A of the BEF China Main Experiment at Xingangshan, Dexing County, PR of China. Per plot 1 to 16 individuals were sampled and samples were analyzed for P, C and N ...

This dataset represents the accumulated climate data from HOBO loggers in the VIP plots on Site A and Site B. These sensors were brought out there in the framework of the Decomposcape Experiment that aims at determining the effect of local climate...

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...
