In order to get tree growth curves we estabilshed an allometry campaign during which we carefully measured, subsampled, dried and then re-constructed the biomass of 154 trees belonging to 8 species. The sampling is done to allows estimation of bio...

Questions: One tenet of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning research is the dependence of ecosystem functions on species-specific differences in traits. Community assembly theory predicts niche differentiation among the constituent species, for...

This research is designed to collect data on diversity in subtropical forest ecosystems and relate it to ecosystem services such as primary productivity, carbon storage, prevention of soil erosion, and invasion resistance to exotic plants. This da...

The study of spatial genetic structure (SGS) can provide an understanding of the key processes and factors involved in the maintenance of viable populations. Within plant populations SGS is mainly determined by the interplay between gene flow by s...

We performed an extensive vegetation survey of the central plots of each CSP in GNNR in 2008. Herb layer communities can serve as ecosystem functioning variable, which is of importance for all community and ecosystem-based statements. We made a de...

Comparative Study Plots of the BEF-China experiment were selected according to a gradient of successional age and a crossed gradient of tree diversity. This file describes measures of stem diameter distribution from the CSPs, as well as basal area...
