"1. Afforestations are globally increasing to produce timber and pulp wood, and to enhance carbon sequestration aiming at the mitigation of CO2 emissions. Large areas have been and will be afforested, particularly in China, in order to compensate ...

Questions: One tenet of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning research is the dependence of ecosystem functions on species-specific differences in traits. Community assembly theory predicts niche differentiation among the constituent species, for...

Herbivory levels estimated categorically, and main cause of damage for site A extinction scenario A trees following TreeDi tree species pair (TSP) sampling design.

1. Despite recent advances in studies on trade-offs between plant defence traits, little is known about whether trade-offs reflect i) evolutionary constraints at the species level or ii) allocation constraints at the individual level. Here, we ask...

Human-induced biodiversity change may impair ecosystem functions crucial to human well-being. However, the consequences of this change for ecosystem multifunctionality are poorly understood beyond effects of plant species loss, particularly in reg...
