Phylogenetic beta diversity between successional stages of the comparative study sites

During the New Integrated Litter Experiment (NILEx) we used a rainfall simulator to measure the sensitivity of soil to erosion under constant conditions. This simulator was developed in Tübingen in 2011 and comes with a lightweight tent and an adj...

Erosions stick measurement on all plots at Site A and B. Nine erosion sticks have been installed on each plot in 2010. Their height above the ground has been measured at the beginning of the experiment and once a year in autumn (2011-2012).

1. Background Fungal pathogens have the potential to affect plant biogeography and ecosystem processes through their influence on the fitness and functioning of their plant hosts. Simultaneously, changes in plant communities can influence fungal p...

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 ...
