Leaf litter decomposition is closely linked to nutrient cycling and driven by environmental conditions, species-specific leaf chemistry, and here in particular by polyphenols composition. However, not much attention has been paid on the decomposit...

This data documents the tree growth parameters in 2009 for site A, belonging to the annual inventory taking place for both site A and site B. Individual-tree growth is a function of stand attributes, local neighbors, plant size, plant damage, geno...

The soil microbial activity data from intensive sampling site B in 2012. Activities of four hydrolytic enzymes involved in breakdown of cellulose (β-glucosidase), xylan(ß-xylosidase), chitin (N-acetyl-glucosaminidase) and polyphosphate (acid phosp...

The script produces a grid that can be used for each plot of the main experiment.

This data set set belongs to the SP5 litter decomposition experiment that was structured in three parts. First we determined single-species litter decomposition constants of 26 woody species, second litter decomposition of Schima superba was asses...
