The probability of a tree stem to break from an ice storm, if a random species was picked. The data results as random plot effects from a random effects model including taxon (species) and plot as random factors. Thus, breakage probability is stan...

Rain was captured in open field and in vegetated conditions parallel to measurements in the Comparative study plots (CSPs). Throughfall as well as sandloss from splashcups can be used to derive kinetic energy from raindrops.

We sampled trophobioses from 21 May to 20 August 2011 on site A. We selected in total 146 plots from tree diversity level 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. Because there are only two plots with tree diversity 24, we did not study the highest available tree dive...

This data documents the shrub growth parameters in 2012 for site A, belonging to the annual inventory taking place for both site A and site B. Individual-shrub growth is a function of stand attributes, local neighbors, plant size, plant damage, ge...

For the “decomposcape” approach, a total of 4131 litter bags were filled with single-species litter of Osmanthus fragrans, Pinus massoniana and Schima superba, respectively. These bags have been fixed on the soil surface across both field sites. T...
