Can niche plasticity promote biodiversity-productivity relationships through increased complementarity?

Abstract:
Most experimental biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research to date has addressed herbaceous plant communities. Comparably little is known about how forest communities will respond to species losses, despite their importance for global biogeoc...

Seasonal characteristics and determinants of tree growth in a Chinese subtropical forest

Abstract:
Aims 18 To quantify the seasonal differences in effects of leaf habit, species identity, initial diameter, neighborhood interaction and stand environment on tree absolute diameter growth rates in a subtropical forest in China. Methods We used m...

Tree diversity increases levels of herbivore damage in a subtropical forest canopy: evidence for dietary mixing by arthropods?

Abstract:
Aims Plant diversity has been linked to both increasing and decreasing levels of arthropod herbivore damage in different plant communities. So far, these links have mainly been studied in grasslands or in artificial tree plantations with low spe...

Positive effects of tree species diversity on litterfall quantity and quality along a secondary successional chronosequence in a subtropical forest

Abstract:
Aims Litterfall, as the link between aboveground and belowground processes, plays a key role in forest ecosystems. Here, we test for effects of species richness on litterfall production and litter quality. The study encompasses a factorial gradie...

Soil respiration is driven by fine root biomass along a forest chronosequence in subtropical China

Abstract:
Aims Soil respiration (Rs) is a major process controlling soil carbon loss in forest ecosystems. However, the underlying mechanisms leading to variation in Rs along forest successional gradients are not well understood. In this study, we investig...

Effects of ectomycorrhizal fungal identity and diversity on subtropical tree competition

Abstract:
Aims Mycorrhizal fungi can influence plant nutrient uptake and therefore may alter interspecific plant competition. However, the role of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi on interspecific plant competition in subtropical forests is poorly understood. In...
