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...

This data documents the tree growth parameters for seven years from 2010 to 2016 for site A of the main experiment. Measurements for this data took place at the end of the growing season of deciduous trees, mainly in September and October of each ...

Mixed-species forests are promoted as a forest management strategy for climate change adaptation, but whether they are more resistant to drought than monospecific forests remains contested. Particularly, the trait-based mechanisms driving the role...

Extreme climatic events threaten forests and their climate mitigation potential globally. Understanding the drivers promoting ecosystem stability is therefore considered crucial for mitigating adverse climate change effects on forests. Here, we us...

We sampled trophobioses from 21 May to 20 August 2011 on site A. We selected in total 146 plots from tree diversity level 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. Because there are only two plots with tree diversity 24, we did not study the highest available tree dive...

Exotic species are assumed to alter ecosystem functioning. However, little is known of the relationships within vertically structured plant communities such as forests, where tree saplings interact with herbaceous species, especially in the early ...
