The belowground foodweb holds a big part of the associated biodiversity in forest ecosystems and plays a major role in litter decomposition and nutrient turnover. So far important interactions between diversity and composition of above- and belowg...

Fungi are important drivers of ecosystem function. Pathogens however can impair productivity stability. We are interested in determining whether there is an effect of tree species diversity on regulating foliar fungal pathogens in Satakunta, Finla...

A 2-cycle drying and rewetting experiment was conducted with the soil from the 2017 SoilForEUROPE campaign with the aim to see whether tree species mixing influenced drought effects on soil microbial functioning. Experiment details can be found in...

The humus form is the expression of the equilibrium between litter production, litter decomposition and humification in a forest ecosystem, resulting from the biological action of bacteria, fungi, and soil fauna. The observed humus form reflects a...

The earthworm sampling records the abundance, biomass and species diversity of earthworms in the Kaltenborn site. Hereby all 16 plots where sampled. In every plot, four samples are taken, 2 in the 'no management' subplot (U) and 2 in the 'manageme...
