While diversity-invasibility relationships have often been addressed in experimental grassland communities, experimental approaches in forests are less common, especially in species-rich subtropical regions. Forest ecosystems feature higher comple...

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...

New sites were chosen for more genetic information at high elevation conditions near the Comparative Study Plots (CSP).

Planned and current species on positions with VIP and VIP replicate Plots in Site B. Includes information on the topography inferred from the 1m interpolated GIS.

Soil chemical laboratory analyses of all 27 comparative study plots. Contents of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur as well as pH-values (H2O and KCl) from soil horizons of each soil profile per CSP.
