Data from: Tree species and genetic diversity increase productivity via functional diversity and trophic feedbacks

Zusammenfassung: | This data was collected in the species × genetic diversity experiment of
the Biodiversity–Ecosystem Functioning Experiment China Platform
(BEF-China, www.bef-china.com). This data set includes four species
(Alniphyllum fortunei, Cinnamanum camphora, Daphniphyllum oldhamii, and
Idesia polycarpa) with the mother trees of all tree individuals known, and
the offspring from the same mother tree was defined as a seed family. In
total, 92 subplots with 4 tree diversity levels were included: species
diversity (1 or 4 species) and genetic diversity (1 or 4 seed families per
species) which resulted in four tree diversity levels: one species with
one seed family (1.1), one species with four seed families (1.4), four
species with one seed family per species (4.1) and four species with four
seed families per species (4.4). For tree functional traits, five leaf
functional traits were measured in 2017 and 2018, including leaf area
(LA), specific leaf area (SLA), chlorophyll content (CHL), leaf nitrogen
content (LN), and leaf carbon content (LC). Herbivory was visually
recorded as leaf damage in 2017. Soil fungal diversity was used as proxies
for unspecified trophic interactions. Soil samples were taken on subplot
level for the 1.1 and 1.4 diversity treatments, but on plot level for the
4.1 and 4.4 diversity treatments in 2017. Tree community productivity was
summed by the biomass of individual trees in each subplot and individual
tree biomass (kg) was calculated using the biomass equation (H × BA × CV)
of the BEF-China experiment, where CV is a correction factor for stem
shape and wood density. |
