The great 2008 ice storm destroyed considerable areas in the Gutianshan Nature Reserve. In the Comparative Study Plots (CSPs) we quantified the amount of wood downed by the ice storm (coarse woody debris data). Dead wood was identified to species ...

Phylogenetic alpha diversity of the comparative study plots

Different to our proposal we decided not to have 2 runoff plots (1 m² in size each) but 5 Mini-ROPs (40 cm x 40 cm, 0.16 m² each) per VIP. We spread them randomly over the left (vertical rows 1-4, horizontal rows 5-20) and lower (v rows 1-15, h ...

Shrub maps site B: maps based on planned and current status.

Updated 2011-11-14: Different diversity measures, including richness, Shannon, Simpson, Eveness, rarefaction and phylogenetic diversity based on the tree and shrub species in the CSPs. Comparative Study Plots (CSP) of the Biodiversity - Ecosystem...

For the “decomposcape” approach, a total of 4131 litter bags were filled with single-species litter of Osmanthus fragrans, Pinus massoniana and Schima superba, respectively. These bags have been fixed on the soil surface across both field sites. T...
