Sand-filled splash cups were used to study the erosivity of rainfall and throughfall in the humid subtropics of southeast China in spring and summer 2010. Our results showed that the splash cup measurements yielded precise and reproducible results...

The present study was performed in 16 plots spanning a forest age gradient from 20 to 120 years. We investigated the effects of the successional stage on soil respiration (Rs), autotrophic respiration (Ra) and heterotrophic respiration (Rh) in an ...

The soil microbial enzyme activity data from tracer NILEx 2012, data include all the tracer nilex time points.

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...

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 ...

We used shared herbivore species (zeta diversity) and multi-site generalized dissimilarity modelling to investigate the patterns and determinants of species turnover of Lepidoptera herbivores among study plots across a gradient in tree species ric...
