This data shows the canopy cover of 291 core plots for site A and B of the main experiment in the year 2024. Measurements for this data took place in early August 2024 before the deciduosu trees would start losing their leaves. This data was extra...

This is the 2008 CSP SIR data from a subset of 12 CSPs representing the age gradient. Samples were analyzed over the depth profile of each CSP (see detailed methods below) and analyzed for basal respiration, substrate induced respiration, and the ...

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 ...

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...

This data documents the tree growth parameters in 2011 for site B, belonging to the annual inventory taking place for both site A and site B. Individual-tree growth is a function of stand attributes, local neighbors, plant size, plant damage, geno...

This dataset includes herbivorous Lepidoptera caterpillars and their associated parasitoids collected from the BEF-China experiment between 2021 and 2024.
