Thickness and mass of the standing leaf litter layer was measured in all CSPs in spring 2009, summer 2009, autumn 2009 and winter 2010. This piece of work will contribute to calculate total carbon and nitrogen pool sizes of the broad-leaved fore...

Pitfall traps (four traps per plot, located at the corners of the central 10 x 10 m subplot) were used to assess the activity abundance and species richness of selected macrofauna taxa in relation to the plots' woody plant diversity. Enables to te...

1) Objectives: -- a) Quantify “undisturbed” state prior to snow break. -- b) Quantify carbon and nitrogen stocks in aboveground CWD as a component of a full carbon and nitrogen budget. -- c) Estimate turnover of CWD carbon depending on species, p...

This dataset provides information about the Tracer NILEx plot ID for all three subexperiments (litter, wood and root decomposition) and their location within the experimental site

Trap nests are a well-established tool to monitor cavity-nesting Hymenoptera and to assess parasitism rates. Despite only 5-10% of all non-parasitoid solitary bee and wasp species are colonizing trap nests, it has been show that the cavity-nesting...
