Community level leaf C:N ratio in Mydiv in 2021

The leaf quality was proposed as a potential mediator to understand the mechanisms underlying the effects of tree species richness and mycorrhizal types on the multitrophic ecosystem functions. The leaf C and N concentrations of three trees for each species in every plot were measured in July 2021 in the MyDiv experiment. The averaging leaf C:N ratio of all species was used as the proxy of leaf quality in every plot. This data was used in the study by Yi et al. (2023) published in the Journal of Ecology
