The soil microbial activity data from intensive sampling in site A in 2011. Activities of four hydrolytic enzymes involved in breakdown of cellulose (β-glucosidase), xylan(ß-xylosidase), chitin (N-acetyl-glucosaminidase) and polyphosphate (acid ph...

Characterization of the biotic and abiotic conditions give an insight into the structure of the habitat. The presence of dead wood or open soil can act as an indicator for disturbance as well as heterogenity. Therefore this data are indispensable...

Exotic species are assumed to alter ecosystem functioning. However, little is known of the relationships within vertically structured plant communities such as forests, where tree saplings interact with herbaceous species, especially in the early ...

The soil microbial activity data from intensive sampling site B in 2012. Activities of four hydrolytic enzymes involved in breakdown of cellulose (β-glucosidase), xylan(ß-xylosidase), chitin (N-acetyl-glucosaminidase) and polyphosphate (acid phosp...

Questions: One tenet of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning research is the dependence of ecosystem functions on species-specific differences in traits. Community assembly theory predicts niche differentiation among the constituent species, for...

Aggregated daily measurments for the Gutianshan climate station from February 2009 to February 2012. Mind that only those values with measurement count 288 or 24 are valid, corresponding to 5 min or 60 min measurement intervals. Additionally an...
