Litterfall is the linkage between aboveground and belowground, playing an important role in forest ecosystem. Here, we set up 5 litterfall traps in 27 CSPs, which were built up by a factorial gradient of secondary succession that resulted from hu...

The measurements for this piece of data were taken between 2012.08.28 and 2012.11.15. Measured was every piece of wood (most of the times that had been tree stubs) which scope had been bigger than 14 cm in a sub plot in all VIP on both sites. The ...

This dataset represents the accumulated climate data from HOBO loggers in the VIP plots on Site A and Site B. These sensors were brought out there in the framework of the Decomposcape Experiment that aims at determining the effect of local climate...

Flight interception traps from the CSPs

Several field studies have shown the positive effect of diversity on primary productivity in grasslands. However, little is known about forest ecosystems, the most productive vegetation type on Earth and responsible for more than 50 % of global n...
