This is the 2008 CSP SIR data from a subset of 12 CSPs representing the age gradient. Samples were analyzed over the depth profile of each CSP (see detailed methods below) and analyzed for basal respiration, substrate induced respiration, and the ...

These data were complied related to the question: Is there evidence for lateral N-transport from leaf litter to dead wood? Wood slices of different species (Pinus massonina, Schima superba, Quercus serrata) placed at different divers 15N labeled l...

The soil microbialbiomass CN data from tracer NILEx 2012, data include all the tracer nilex time points. Soil microbial bimass carbon and nitrogen content were determined by the chloroform fumigation extraction method. Two sets of soil samples (ap...

Traits are derived from gridding the range of a given species and then summarizing the values in each single grid cell. Climatic niche traits in this dataset include minimum and maximum temperatures in winter as well as precipition in winter.

This dataset accompanies the paper by Schuldt et al. "Diversity relations across trophic levels change with spatial scale in a biodiverse forest"

The present study was performed in 16 plots spanning a forest age gradient from 20 to 120 years. We investigated the effects of the successional stage on soil respiration (Rs), autotrophic respiration (Ra) and heterotrophic respiration (Rh) in an ...
