Leaf damage by insect herbivores can severely affect the growth and fitness of plants and is considered to play an important role in the maintenance of high tree diversity in (sub)tropical forests. The trees of the main experimental plantations of...

This data documents the tree growth parameters in 2010 for site B, 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...

Specific leaf area measurements from Cunninghamia lanceolata and Pinus massoniana from the Pilot Experiment.

The BEF- China experiment provides the opportunity to study the effects of tree layer diversity and composition on herb layer species richness, composition and invasibility in subtropical China. SP 11 studied the interaction between tree layer d...
