The main objectives of this task are to quantify litterfall production and its composition and chemical content over time, and to relate this information to tree diversity and environmental gradients across sites. By relating litter production da...

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...

Characteristics of the German soils. This dataset has plots GER40 and GER43 which are not valid. I need to identify the correct HIP plots.

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 Karelia, Finland...

This dataset contains the calculation of species richness index, Shannon's index, Simpson's Index and Pielou's evenness index for each plot and region, based on basal area. Each index has been calculated twice, once using only the focal species...

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...
