Information about the plots in the Main Experiment: tree and shrub species richness (data from Z1), community composition (data from Z1), species presence/absence data, and plots that should be excluded for analysis at plot and species levels (e.g...

Gaseous concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ammonia (NH3) was measured in Gutianshan for a period of 12 months (November 2008 - October 2009) for estimating dry deposition of nitrogen. Passive sampling tubes (www.passam.ch) were used to qu...

Gaseous concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ammonia (NH3) was measured at Site A of the Main Experiment for a period of 55 months (May 2010 - November 2014) for estimating dry deposition of nitrogen. Passive sampling tubes (www.passam.ch) ...

Litter production and subsequent decomposition are key processes in C and nutrient cycling of forest ecosystems: the physical and chemical breakdown of organic matter during decom-position releases both CO2 and nutrients, the latter being again av...

wood density of branches and wood cores taken from species in the CSPs of the Gutianshan Nature Reserve; determined from june to october 2008, with the help of a pyknometer

Extrafloral nectar (EFN) is rich in sugars and amino acids and mediates the protection-for-food mutualism between EFN-plants and ants. We analyzed (via HPLC) 8 samples for the 3 EFN-tree species (Ailanthus altissima, Melia azedarach, Triadica coch...
