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 Bialowieza, Pola...

The earthworm sampling records the abundance, biomass and species diversity of earthworms in the FORBIO site in Zedelgem (Belgium). Hereby only the monoculture and high diversity (4 species) plots(20 plots) where sampled. One sample is taken in ev...

This dataset contains the plot descriptors from the Spanish region

The biogeochemical cycling in forest ecosystems is highly dependent on the interactions between plants and soil. Tree species affect element cycling through deposition in throughfall, litterfall, microbial activities in soil and rhizosphere proces...

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...

This dataset contains the number of juveniles and seedlings were found in 36 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...
