This dataset contains forest floor thickness, forest floor dry mass, pH, C and N concentrations and stocks data from the Exploratory plots.

Soil samples for fine-root analyses were taken during the 2017 SoilForEUROPE field sampling campaign with the aim to assess whether tree species mixing influences fine-root traits. This dataframe contains the measured fine-root traits for absorpti...

The main objectives of this task are to quantify the decomposition of a standard material (cellulose), and to relate this information to tree diversity and environmental gradients across sites.

Soil cores taken from each subplot of each plot (i.e. 9 per plot), if possible down to 40 cm (Poland), but in other countries it was only possible to 20 cm (except Spain only 10 cm). Forest floor samples were taken separately from the soil cores. ...

Microarthropods data acquired during the SoilForEurope project. Sampling occured during summer 2017. The aim was to investigate the effects of tree communities on soil biodiversity and soil food web across European forests.

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).
