Sand-filled splash cups were used to study the erosivity of rainfall and throughfall in the humid subtropics of southeast China in spring and summer 2010. Our results showed that the splash cup measurements yielded precise and reproducible results...

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...

Trees with extrafloral nectaries (EFN) are common in tropical and subtropical forests and the presence of EFN trees within a tree community may influence tree growth. In this dataset EFN-tree-visiting arthropods were collected on all EFN tree spec...

The data was collected from 88 plots of BEF-China for five years (2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020) using trap nests. Specifically, we collected trap nests monthly to sample solitary bees and wasps in the 88 plots from September to November in 2015 an...

Extrafloral nectar (EFN) is rich in sugars and amino acids and mediates the protection-for-food mutualism between EFN-plants and ants. We analyzed (via HPLC) 8 samples for the 2 EFN-tree species (Ailanthus altissima, Triadica cochinchinensis) plan...

We used shared herbivore species (zeta diversity) and multi-site generalized dissimilarity modelling to investigate the patterns and determinants of species turnover of Lepidoptera herbivores among study plots across a gradient in tree species ric...
