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.

Sand-filled splash cups were used to study the erosivity of rainfall and throughfall in the humid subtropics of southeast China. Our results showed that the splash cup measurements yielded precise and reproducible results both under open field con...

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

Trap nests (eigth traps per plot; four traps each attached to a wooden post; located at two randomly selected corners the corners of the central 10 x 10 m subplot) were used to collect solitary bees and wasps in the CSPs. Abundance and species ric...

Plant populations growing along elevational gradients have been found to show inconsistent patterns in the distribution of genetic variation. Molecular markers used to study these patterns are usually targeting neutral processes, but may also be a...

Leaf traits and chemicals from tree species in the Main Experimental sites, including secondary compound (total phenolic and tannin concentrations) and information on stomata.
