Data from: Optimizing enrichment of deadwood for biodiversity by varying sun exposure and tree species: an experimental approach

Deadwood objects, i.e. logs and branches, from six tree species were experimentally sun-exposed, canopy-shaded, and artificially shaded for four years in a temperate forest in northern Bavaria. Species of saproxylic beetles and spiders were collected by using stem emergence traps (logs) and rearing (branches). Basidiomes of wood-inhibiting fungi were assessed visually. This dataset includes: 1. Species data: Species data of saproxylic beetles, wood-inhabiting fungi and spiders 2. Coordinates: Coordinates of single deadwood objects 3. Phylogenetic tree: Phylogenetic tree of established tree species 4. Branch data: Data of volume and surface of single branch bundles
