Plant traits are aggregated from the datasets "Decomposition rates of wood in the Comparative Study plots, debris items with soil contacts in coarse mesh nets", "Leaf litter decomposition in Gutianshan: decomposition rates (k-values)", "Aggregate...

Herb layer vegetation surveys were conducted in August–September 2024 during the field campaign of the third TreeDi cohort. Sampling was carried out in experimental units referred to as TSQ (Tree Species Quartets). Within each TSQ, herb layer vege...

We used DNA-barcoding to identify herbivore-host plant associations along declining levels of tree diversity in a large-scale, subtropical biodiversity experiment. We tested for effects of tree species richness, host functional and phylogenetic di...
