1. Biodiversity is considered to mitigate detrimental impacts of climate change on the functioning of forest ecosystems, such as drought-induced decline in forest productivity. However, previous studies produced controversial results and experimen...

Planned and current shrub species on positions in Plots of Site A. Includes information on the topography inferred from the 1m interpolated GIS, coordinates, relief, topography.

Includes the metadata and inventory measurement data for all TSQs of Site A and B recorded in separate campaigns of TreeDì cohort two and three in 2023 and 2024 respectively. The data includes the positions, species and conditions of shrub and tre...

Interactions across trophic levels influence plant diversity effects on ecosystem functions, but the complexity of these interactions remains poorly explored. For example, the interplay between different interactions (e.g. mutualism, predation) mi...

This is the 2008 CSP SIR data from a subset of 12 CSPs representing the age gradient. Samples were analyzed over the depth profile of each CSP (see detailed methods below) and analyzed for basal respiration, substrate induced respiration, and the ...

New sites were chosen for more genetic information at high elevation conditions near the Comparative Study Plots (CSP).
