FOR891_sp05e nitrogen: SP05e Effects of environmental conditions and biodiversity on litter decompos...

Description:
In the first phase of BEF-China, Subproject 5 has quantified key pools and fluxes of the nitrogen cycle and in close cooperation with the Chinese counterparts also those of the carbon cycle. These measurements were done in the Comparative Study ...

FOR891_sp10e dead wood: SP10e Biodiversity signature in coarse woody detritus dynamics

Description:
Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important component of forest ecosystems throughout the world. It represents a significant carbon and nutrient pool, promotes biodiversity of wooddwelling organisms, influences erosion and serves as a fuel for wil...

FOR891_NILEx: New Integrated Litter Experiment

Description:
The main objective of the New Integrated Litter Experiment (NILEx) is to quantify the role of biodiversity affecting plant litter decomposition and subsequent mineralisation. Furthermore the impact of litter cover on soil erosion under forest will...
