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 plot-level chemical traits fo...

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...

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.

The BEFdata portal allows to import research data directly from an Excel 2003 workbook. To get most out of the workbook, it's good to know that the "General Metadata" sheet saves dataset ownership, as well as general information of where, how, and...

This dataset contains the height, diameter and growth corresponding to the last 5 years from all juveniles, which were found in 16 subplots of 1m x1m, located in the central quadrant (in the upper half) of the main plot.
