Plot maps site B: general maps, maps of VIP plots, tracks, species richness, plot topographic attributes...

Caterpillar MOTU based species survey and morphological trait measurements. Data collected from site A extinction scenario A trees following TreeDi tree species pair (TSP) sampling design.

Based on a comprehensive dataset of lepidopteran herbivores recorded from the BEF sites, we tested the contribution to herbivore species co-occurrence of herbivore phylogenetic relatedness, plant diversity and functional traits, and spatial scale....

Soil chemical laboratory analyses of all 27 comparative study plots. Contents of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur as well as pH-values (H2O and KCl) from soil horizons of each soil profile per CSP.

Plant traits are aggregated from the datasets "Decomposition rates of wood in the Comparative Study plots, debris items with soil contacts in coarse mesh nets", "Leaf litter decomposition in Gutianshan: decomposition rates (k-values)", "Aggregate...

We used DNA-barcoding to identify herbivore-host plant associations along declining levels of tree diversity in a large-scale, subtropical biodiversity experiment. We tested for effects of tree species richness, host functional and phylogenetic di...
