Designing forest biodiversity experiments: general considerations illustrated by a new large experiment in subtropical China

Abstract:
Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) experiments address ecosystem-level consequences of species loss by comparing communities of high species richness with communities from which species have been gradually eliminated. BEF experiments origina...

Tree diversity alters the structure of a tri-trophic network in a biodiversity experiment

Abstract:
Species and processes in ecosystems are part of multi-trophic interaction networks. Plants represent the lowest trophic level in terrestrial ecosystems, and experiments have shown a stabilizing effect of plant diversity on higher trophic levels. S...

Readable workflows need simple data

Abstract:
Sharing scientific analyses via workflows has the potential to improve the reproducibility of research results as they allow complex tasks to be split into smaller pieces and give a visual access to the flow of data between the components of an an...

Mechanisms promoting tree species co-existence: Experimental evidence with saplings of subtropical forest ecosystems of China

Abstract:
Questions The maintenance of a diverse sapling pool is of particular importance for the regeneration and persistance of species-rich forest ecosystems. However, the mechanisms of co-existence of saplings have rarely been studied experimentally. D...

Local neighborhood competition following an extraordinary snow break event: implications for tree-individual growth

Abstract:
Sustainable forest management practices and the increased interest of plantation forestry in species mixtures require an understanding of individual-tree growth in complex and diverse forests. Individual-tree growth has been found to be affected b...

How do evergreen and deciduous species respond to shade?—Tolerance and plasticity of subtropical tree and shrub species of South-East China

Abstract:
Different plant species make use of resource gradients such as light in different ways. First, plant species specialize in using different parts of the gradient, resulting in niche partitioning, Second, within the section of the gradient used by a...
