In floodplain grasslands of the Saale river, near Jena (Germany) 78 20x20 m grassland plots were set up, in which combinations of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 species were sown, from a species pool of 60. Thereby, the aim was to create a gradient in plant species richness and functional composition. In each year from 2003-2012, relative cover (in %) of each target species was estimated within 3x3 m subplots. In addition, plant biomass was measured in both spring and summer. In addition, we compiled trait data for 59 of the 60 sown species, based on a combination of existing literature, pot experiments and measurements in the Jena Main Biodiversity experiment monoculture (1-species) plots. Data on 41 traits was collected. Finally, we measured in 41 different ecosystem functions in the Jena Main Biodiversity experiment. Each ecosystem function was measured in at least 3 different years between 2003 and 2012. The "R2.model.random.text[x]" (where x is a number from 1 to 40) are secondary data files, and the outcome of statistical models. In these, 100 times a random subset of 1 to 40 (out of the 41) plant traits were analysed as predictors of the 42 ecosystem functions, in order to assess how the proportion of variance in ecosystem functioning explained by traits (R2 values) depends on the number of traits analysed. van der Plas Fons fonsvanderplas@gmail.com 0000-0003-4680-543X Schröder-Georgi Thomas Weigelt Alexandra alexandra.weigelt@uni-leipzig.de 0000-0001-6242-603X Barry Kathryn 0000-0001-6893-6479 Meyer Sebastian Tobias 0000-0003-0833-1472 Alzate Adriana Barnard Romain L 0000-0002-6440-1159 Buchmann Nina nina.buchmann@usys.ethz.ch 0000-0003-0826-2980 de Kroon Hans Ebeling Anne Eisenhauer Nico nico.eisenhauer@uni-jena.de 0000-0002-0371-6720 Engels Christof Fischer Markus markus.fischer@ips.unibe.ch Gleixner Gerd 0000-0002-4616-0953 Hildebrandt Anke 0000-0001-8643-1634 Koller-France Eva Leimer Sophia 0000-0001-6272-204X Milcu Alexandru alex.milcu@cnrs.fr 0000-0002-2889-1234 Mommer Liesje 0000-0002-3775-0716 Niklaus Pascal A 0000-0002-2360-1357 Oelmann Yvonne 0000-0003-3513-6568 Roscher Christiane Scherber Christoph 0000-0001-7924-8911 Scherer-Lorenzen Michael 0000-0001-9566-590X Scheu Stefan sscheu@gwdg.de 0000-0003-4350-9520 Schmid Bernhard 0000-0002-8430-3214 Schulze Ernst-Detlef 0000-0001-6188-9219 Temperton Vicky M vicky.temperton@leuphana.de 0000-0003-0543-4521 Tscharntke Teja ttschar@gwdg.de Voigt Winfried Weisser Wolfgang W wolfgang.weisser@tum.de 0000-0002-2757-8959 Wilcke Wolfgang 0000-0002-6031-4613 Wirth Christian 0000-0003-2604-8056 2020 Plant traits alone are poor predictors of ecosystem properties and long-term ecosystem functioning journal article Nature Ecology & Evolution 4(12) https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-020-01316-9 1602-1611 11.6113 11.6113 50.9461 50.9461 11.6113 50.9461 not specified JenExp The Jena Experiment https://the-jena-experiment.de/ Jena_Experiment Jena Experiment 50.9461 11.6113 Thuringia, Germany Experiment EXP 7 CC-BY-4.0 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ This dataset has been carefully reviewed and curated in accordance with PANGAEA's exceptionally high quality standards.
