Litter decomposition was measured in nine experimental vineyards in Rhein-Hesse, Germany, during the growing season of 2016. Each vineyard exhibited four experimental plots with...

Litter decomposition was measured in nine experimental vineyards in Rhein-Hesse, Germany, during the growing season of 2017. Each vineyard exhibited four experimental plots with...

Measurements between November 2015 - November 2017. Dataloggers: WTL: Odyssey Capacitance Water Level Logger, Dataflow Systems Limited. Year of drainage for the drained sites:...

Ingrowth cores were used according to Bhuiyan et al. (2017), and incubated for two years from November 2015 to November 2017. Roots were manually separated and identified to...

Water analyses typically result in numerous characteristic values. The bunch of parameters hamper temporal or spatial comparisons of different samples. In order to facilitate...

To assess biodiversity and ecosystem processes along altutudianl and disturbance gradients on Mt. Kilimanjaro, a total of 60 study sites in both natural and human-disturbed...

Wild animals substantially support crop production by providing ecosystem services, such as pollination and natural pest control. However, the strengths of synergies between...

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...

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)...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

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...

This data set contains plot data on climate, plant functional traits, land use variables used for explaining 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...
