This research is designed to collect data on diversity in subtropical forest ecosystems and relate it to ecosystem services such as primary productivity, carbon storage, prevention of soil erosion, and invasion resistance to exotic plants. This da...

One to two page introduction to projects of students of the Chinese Subprojects.

Planned and current tree species on positions in Plots of Site B. Includes information on the topography inferred from the 1m interpolated GIS.

Biological soil crusts (BSCs) were sampled in runoff plots of sites A and B in 2013. This is the species list containing bryophytes.

Leaf toughness assessed on individual trees of species growing in the CSPs in Gutianshan Nature Reserve. For each tree seven leaves were sampled in most cases. Every single value for every leaf is given. Exceptions were made in species with very s...

After planting the experiment, we had a lot of spare tree seedlings from the following species: Cinnamomum camphora, Liquidambar formosana, Schima superba. These saplings were planted next to the experimental plots at Site A. The scan of the map...
