Local tree-tree interactions have been identified as a key mechanism underlying biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships. The complementary use of the canopy space by coexisting species increases canopy packing, thereby promoting community...

For each TSQ, the nearest surrounding shrubs were identified. The diversity and density were calculated.

Extreme climatic events threaten forests and their climate mitigation potential globally. Understanding the drivers promoting ecosystem stability is therefore considered crucial for mitigating adverse climate change effects on forests. Here, we us...

This data documents the tree growth parameters in 2014 for site A, belonging to the annual inventory taking place for both site A and site B. Individual-tree growth is a function of stand attributes, local neighbors, plant size, plant damage, geno...

The dataset was used to analyze the mechanisms underlying herbivore community stability in a species-rich subtropical forest ecosystem (BEF-China experiment), assessing key properties of herbivore communities and the extent to which these are coup...
