Soil chemical laboratory analyses of 30 plots of site A of experimental study plots at Xingangshan. Samples were taken and provided from Thomas Scholten and Peter Kühn (Tübingen University). Analysis was done at Freiburg University with the Hedley...

This guide aims at providing a concise and user-centred overview on how to find a special dataset or identify datasets containing the relevant information for the analysis one is to carry out. All instances of search options will be discussed, st...

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...

The concentration of plant available soil nitrogen (nitrate and ammonium) was measured in the CSPs to quantify and qualify changes in the course of secondary forest succession. Soil mineral N was determined in five to six soil layers in four ...

Here we present the result from a two-year field experiment in which we transplanted seedlings of 14 woody species representing three contrasting functional types(broad-leaved evergreen, deciduous and coniferous species) along a light gradient int...

While coexistence in plant communities is frequently explained by effects of resource niche partitioning, the Janzen-Connell (J-C) hypothesis is an alternative approach that has been assumed as a major ecological mechanism explaining high species ...
