Total basal area per CSP based on living as well as broken stems due to the snowbreak event in 2008.

Thickness and mass of the standing leaf litter layer was measured in all CSPs in spring 2009, summer 2009, autumn 2009 and winter 2010. This piece of work will contribute to calculate total carbon and nitrogen pool sizes of the broad-leaved fore...

Measurement design: We randomly selected 12 high-diversity plots, each containing 16 or 24 species, which allowed us to compare as many species as possible across relatively short distances. The aim of our study was to establish links between stom...

Pitfall traps (four traps per plot, located at the corners of the central 10 x 10 m subplot) were used to assess the activity abundance and species richness of selected macrofauna taxa in relation to the plots' woody plant diversity. Enables to te...

This data documents the tree growth parameters in 2010 for site A, belonging to the annual inventory taking place for both site A and site B. Individual-tree growth is a function of stand attributes, local neighbors, plant size, plant damage, geno...

This dataset provides information about the Tracer NILEx plot ID for all three subexperiments (litter, wood and root decomposition) and their location within the experimental site
