We evaluated the relative importance of tree species diversity and functional group for various ecosystem functions in major European forest types in the six regions Finland, Poland, Germany, Romania, Italy and Spain. We sampled soils in 209 perma...

This dataset contains the plot descriptors from the Polish region. There are two entries for POL30: POL30_yr1 and POL30_yr2 because after the first year all BETPEN trees were cut in the plot, resulting in different diversity levels between the fir...

This dataset contains the location, size and species of the trees in each plot, and estimation of tree biomass, based on the 2017 inventory (inventory 2).

This dataset contains the location, size and species of the trees in each plot, and estimation of tree biomass, based on the 2017 inventory (inventory 2).

This dataset contains the location, size and species of the trees in each plot at year 2012. When necessary data were corrected and completed at the occasion of the second inventory (2017).

This dataset contains canopy packing estimates for all Exploratory plots (as calculated in Jucker et al. Functional Ecology 2015).
