In this study, we examine the relationship between tree species richness and growth and insect herbivory at the individual, species, and community level. Our analysis spans nine young forest biodiversity experiments from temperate and subtropical ...

Rain was captured in open field and in vegetated conditions parallel to measurements in the Comparative study plots (CSPs). Throughfall as well as sandloss from splashcups can be used to derive kinetic energy from raindrops.

Planned and current shrub species on positions in Plots of Site A. Includes information on the topography inferred from the 1m interpolated GIS, coordinates, relief, topography.

This dataset include all biodiversity and ecosystem function data at the plot level that support the findings of this study. There are two sheets inside this file, the first sheet is the data collected from grassland ecosystem and the second one i...

We performed an extensive vegetation survey of the central plots of each CSP in GNNR in 2008. Herb layer communities can serve as ecosystem functioning variable, which is of importance for all community and ecosystem-based statements. We made a de...

The BEFdata portal allows to import research data directly from an Excel 2003 workbook. To get most out of the workbook, it's good to know that the "General Metadata" sheet saves dataset ownership, as well as general information of where, how, and...
