Carbon isotope composition in leaves and needles from 3 exploratory sites (Spain, Poland and Romania). The samples were taken during the summer 2013. Samples were oven dried, grinded and analyzed with a mass spectrometer.

In summer 2011, we sampled sunlit leaves and needles from a subsample of dominant trees from each species (oak, beech, spruce & douglas) in the Kaltenborn site. These samples were oven drier for 48h at 60°C at INRA nancy. They were grinded and ana...

Stand transpiration measurements. Data was collected in the Satakunta plantation in Finland during July and August 2011.

Wood carbon isotope composition for 2 selected years (dry vs wet) for all 6 exploratory sites. Samples were taken during the year 2012. They were oven dried, grinded and analyzed with a mass spectrometer.

• The influence of species mixture on carbon accumulation and water use was studied in a boreal plantation. • A large variability in functional parameters was observed among species and mixtures. • The presence of birch in mixtures was the key d...

1- In 2001, Loreau & Hector proposed a method to calculate the effect of biodiversity on ecosystem-level properties that distinguished selection effects from complementarity effects. The approach was designed, and has been widely used, for the stu...
