This study was designed to quantify the degree of herbivore damage on saplings of different tree and shrub species in the 27 Comparative Study Plots. In June/July 2008, we selected 1,818 saplings (20-100 cm height) of 23 species and visually asses...

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...

The soil microbial community lipids data from unlabeled NILEx 2012, data is only analyzed through samples taken from the 3rd time point (July, 2012). In this datasheet, we only have one time point (i.e. timepoint 3) of the whole unlabeled nilex t...

Leaf decomposition plays an important role in ecosystem biogeochemistry. Nutrients are released from decomposing litter by leaching of soluble substances and the break-down by animals, microbes and fungi, and will thus become again available for u...
