This dataset contains the radial growth measurments made for individual trees from wood cores for the Exploratory site in Poland

Productivity is great in forests with a capacity to intercept incoming radiation and harness its energy efficiently. Thus, understanding the relationships between forest diversity, tree canopy biomass and photosynthetic parameters is central to pr...

This dataset contains an R function that calculates the biomass of focal tree species in the Exploratory plots. It also includes an excel file containing the references for each of the published equations. Equations are also included for some ...

Soil water: Leaf Area Index (LAIe) - Finland. The objective of this task is to provide an estimation of the LAI over 32 soil measuring points per plot. LAI measurements were carried out in 10 plots (30mx30m) of the Exploratory Region (on HIPs, hig...

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...

Dead wood plays an important role in element cycling (carbon, nutrients, water, etc.) and the build-up of carbon and nutrient stocks. It also represents an important structural component of forests, providing habitat for a large variety of organis...
