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...

Questions: One tenet of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning research is the dependence of ecosystem functions on species-specific differences in traits. Community assembly theory predicts niche differentiation among the constituent species, for...

TreeDÌ project: TSP list for site A and B contains all possible TSPs combinations, plot names and parametres, TSPs and Neighbours trees coordinates, their species, their current situation (dead/alive/not available) and all trees circumference meas...

This is a collection of all data gathered by all participating projects of the BEFmod Experiment. This document does not provide any data but aims at giving an overview on which type of data is available from all participating subprojects of the...

1. Biodiversity is considered to mitigate detrimental impacts of climate change on the functioning of forest ecosystems, such as drought-induced decline in forest productivity. However, previous studies produced controversial results and experimen...

Microclimate (temperature and relative humidity) and biotic factors (decomposer colonization and tree species diversity) drive wood decomposition. However, their inter-correlations make it necessary to decouple direct and indirect effects. Further...
