This dataset contains the number of juveniles and seedlings were found in 16 subplots of 1m x1m, located in the central quadrant (in the upper half) of the main plot and estimation of percent stone cover, shrub cover, herb cover, litter cover, dea...

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...

This dataset contains estimates of aboveground wood production (AWP; measured in Mg C ha-1 yr-1 averaged over 5 years) for all Exploratory plots.

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...

The main objectives of this task are to quantify the decomposition of a mixture of litter with the plot-specific diversity, and to relate this information to tree diversity and environmental gradients across sites.
