Fruit weight of coffee beans from an pollinator/vertebrate-exclosure experime...
Wild animals substantially support crop production by providing ecosystem services, such as pollination and natural pest control. However, the strengths of synergies between... -
Mutualistic interactions between plants and birds on Kilimanjaro
This dataset includes mutualistic interactions between flowering and fruiting plants and all bird and (few) mammal species feeding on these resources. The data was collected on... -
Number of bite marks by animals on artificial fruits and insects after an exp...
We quantified frugivory and insectivory rates with artificial fruit and insect experiments on the focal plots of all 13 habitat types in the warm dry season (December to March)... -
Growth form and fruit and flower numbers of plants on Kilimanjaro
This dataset includes the identities of all fruiting and flowering plants on all study sites sampled for mutualistic interactions (i.e. all except for Hel and Fer). We... -
Dung beetle diversity on Mt. Kilimanjaro
This data set contains plot data on climate, land area, land use, primary productivity, conservation status and mammal defecation rates for explaining the diversity of dung... -
Greenhouse gas parameterization experiment with samples from the Mt. Kilimanjaro
Soil core sampling in Tanzania was conducted during the dry season, in February 2011 and 2012. Here, one undisturbed soil core (12.5 cm inner diameter, 25 cm length) was... -
Soil nitrogen gross gurnover rates from the Mt. Kilimanjaro
Gross rates of N turnover were investigated during wet season (May 2011), dry season (February 2012), and during the transition from dry to wet season (October 2011), thus... -
Soil greenhouse gas fluxes from 2011 to 2015 measured at the Mt. Kilimanjaro
Ten sites covering six different ecosystems were selected for detailed situ N2O and CH4 exchange measurements. The six different ecosystems represent main (semi) natural forest... -
Soil nutrient leaching from ten different sites at the Mt. Kilimanjaro
At ten different sites in the Kilimanjaro region we installed two identical suction cups (SK 20, UMS, Munich, Germany) at 10, 40, and 80 cm soil depths (6 in all) and set them... -
Morphometric fruit traits of plants on Kilimanjaro
This dataset includes morphological trait measurements of all plant species recorded on the study sites of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We measured traits related to size and supply of the... -
Data on invertebrate abundance on the study plots of the Kilimanjaro Research...
Fresh biomass of invertebrates in sweep net samples of all 60 plots plus 4 sun-coffee-plantations. We used 100 sweeps with a 30-cm diameter sweep net along two parallel,... -
Data on vegetation structure on the study plots of the Kilimanjaro Research Unit
We established eight subplots per plot. These subplots consisted of circles with a 20-m radius in densely vegetated habitats (savanna and all forest habitats) and 35.5 m × 35.5... -
Plot data for data set on insect leaf herbivory on Mount Kilimanjaro
This data set contains plot data on climate, plant functional traits, land use variables used for explaining insect leaf herbivory on Mount Kilimanjaro. -
Insect leaf herbivory on Mount Kilimanjaro
This data set includes data on leaf herbivory by invertebrates (mostly insects) from 55 study plots along elevation and land use gradients on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. This... -
Supply and discharge dynamics of traditional irrigation canals around Mt. Kil...
The discharge of canals was measured at 11 locations along an altitudinal gradient on the southern slopes of Mt.Kilimanjaro. Selected canals were mapped to understanding their... -
Chemical soil properties in agroecosystem around Mt. Kilimanjaro
We assessed variation of soil chemical parameters from a total of 24 villages. Sampling plots were established across the three major agro-ecological zones, the lower, mid and... -
Physical soil properties in agroecosystem around Mt. Kilimanjaro
We assessed variation of soil physical parameters from a total of 24 villages. Sampling plots were established across the three major agro-ecological zones, the lower, mid and... -
Bird mist-netting on Kilimanjaro in 1991 and 2011
Understanding how species respond to climate and land use change is ofprime importance for biodiversity conservation. However, studies using histori-cal, empirical data to... -
