The study of spatial genetic structure (SGS) can provide an understanding of the key processes and factors involved in the maintenance of viable populations. Within plant populations SGS is mainly determined by the interplay between gene flow by s...

This data documents the tree growth parameters in 2011 for site B, 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...

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 Formicidae in relation to the plots' woody plant diversity. The data allow to test to w...

This dataset includes herbivorous Lepidoptera caterpillars and their associated parasitoids collected from the BEF-China experiment between 2021 and 2024.

Individual-tree growth is a function of stand attributes, local neighbors, plant size, plant damage, genotype, and local abiotic site conditions. Given a certain time phase (combing further data along the timeline), the following scientific questi...

Soil chemical laboratory analyses of all 27 comparative study plots. Contents of exchangable Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, H, effective Cation Exchange Capacity (CECeff; extraction with 1 M NH4Cl) and base saturation (BS) of six depth increments per CSP....
