We integrated multiple components of plant and herbivore diversity to unravel the linkages that drive biodiversity relationships and determine the consequences of biodiversity loss across trophic levels. Our study suggests that lepidopteran phylog...

Mixed-species forests are promoted as a forest management strategy for climate change adaptation, but whether they are more resistant to drought than monospecific forests remains contested. Particularly, the trait-based mechanisms driving the role...

This data documents the tree growth parameters for seven years from 2010 to 2016 for site A of the main experiment. Measurements for this data took place at the end of the growing season of deciduous trees, mainly in September and October of each ...

We sampled trophobioses from 21 May to 20 August 2011 on site A. We selected in total 146 plots from tree diversity level 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. Because there are only two plots with tree diversity 24, we did not study the highest available tree dive...

Sand-filled splash cups were used to study the erosivity of rainfall and throughfall in the humid subtropics of southeast China in spring and summer 2010. Our results showed that the splash cup measurements yielded precise and reproducible results...

Trap nests (eigth traps per plot; four traps each attached to a wooden post; located at two randomly selected corners the corners of the central 10 x 10 m subplot) were used to collect solitary bees and wasps in the CSPs. Abundance and species ric...
