The NIRS spectra of the root samples as well as the calibration mixtures were analysed with a FTIR Spectrometer (Shimadzu IR Prestige-21, Kyoto, Japan), equipped with an integrating sphere (NIR IntegratIR, PIKE Technologies, WI, USA). Each spectru...

Most of the plant diversity in European forests is found in the understorey, and despite its relatively low biomass compared to the forest overstorey, its functional importance is high (nectar source for pollinators, habitat for small mammals, aff...

In summer 2011, we sampled sunlit leaves and needles from a subsample of dominant trees from each species (oak, beech, spruce & douglas) in the Kaltenborn site. These samples were oven drier for 48h at 60°C at INRA nancy. They were grinded and ana...

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...
