Trap nests (eigth traps per plot; four traps each attached to a wooden post; located at two randomly selected corners the corners of the central 10 x 10 m subplot) were used to collect the parasiotids of solitary bees and wasps in the CSPs. Parasi...

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...

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...

We integrated multiple components of plant and herbivore diversity to unravel the linkages that drive biodiversity relationships and determine the consequences of biodiversity loss across trophic levels. Our study suggests that lepidopteran phylog...

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...
