Diversity did not influence soil water use of tree clusters in a temperate mixed forest [PDF]
Compared to monocultures, diverse ecosystems are often expected to show more comprehensive resource use. However, with respect to diversity–soil-water-use relationships in forests, very little information is available. We analysed soil water uptake
