Exotic species are assumed to alter ecosystem functioning. However, little is known of the relationships within vertically structured plant communities such as forests, where tree saplings interact with herbaceous species, especially in the early ...

The plant biomass allometry equations from the pilot experiment SP7 harvest in 2010 and 2011 which we used to estimate plant biomass.

Specific leaf area measurements from Cunninghamia lanceolata and Pinus massoniana from the Pilot Experiment.

Soil samples were taken from two soil layers in the Pilotexperiment for C and N analysis in Winter 2010 . This work aimed to get a general idea about the C and N concentrations and the uniformity among the four different blocks of the Pilot Experi...

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...
