Gaseous concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ammonia (NH3) was measured in Gutianshan for a period of 12 months (November 2008 - October 2009) for estimating dry deposition of nitrogen. Passive sampling tubes (www.passam.ch) were used to qu...

This dataset accompagnies the paper by Schuldt et al. 2015: Early positive effects of tree species richness on herbivory in a large-scale forest biodiversity experiment influence tree growth. Journal of Ecology

Gaseous concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ammonia (NH3) was measured at Site A of the Main Experiment for a period of 55 months (May 2010 - November 2014) for estimating dry deposition of nitrogen. Passive sampling tubes (www.passam.ch) ...

Litter production and subsequent decomposition are key processes in C and nutrient cycling of forest ecosystems: the physical and chemical breakdown of organic matter during decom-position releases both CO2 and nutrients, the latter being again av...

Information about the plots in the Main Experiment: tree and shrub species richness (data from Z1), community composition (data from Z1), species presence/absence data, and plots that should be excluded for analysis at plot and species levels (e.g...

We sampled trophobioses from 29 May to 31 July 2014 and 11 September to 8 October on site A and B dayly alternating between sites (for data on Site B see dataset 567). We selected in total 150 plots from tree diversity level 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 at ...
