Local tree-tree interactions have been identified as a key mechanism underlying biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships. The complementary use of the canopy space by coexisting species increases canopy packing, thereby promoting community...

Leaf traits and chemicals from tree and shrub species in the main Experimental Sites of BEF-China (Site A & B). Including secondary metabolites (total phenolics and tannin concentration) as well as leaf tensile strength (leaf toughness). Ardisia c...
