Diversity of root-associated fungi of Vaccinium mandarinorum along a human disturbance gradient in subtropical forests, China

Abstract:
Ericaceous plant species can host diverse fungi in their roots, including ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (ERMF), endophytes, pathogens, and some species with unknown functions. However, how this diversity of symbiotic fungi responds to different human ...

Preservation of nucleic acids by freeze-drying for next generation sequencing analyses of soil microbial communities

Abstract:
Aims Soil sample preservation is a challenging aspect in molecular studies on soil microbial communities. The demands for specialized sample storage equipment, chemicals and standardized protocols for nucleic acid extraction often require sample ...

A guide to analyzing biodiversity experiments

Abstract:
Aims The aim of this guide is to provide practical help for ecologists who analyze data from biodiversity–ecosystem functioning experiments. Our approach differs from others in the use of least-squares based linear models (LMs) together with rest...

On the combined effect of soil fertility and topography on tree growth in subtropical forest ecosystems - a study from SE China

Abstract:
Aims The aim of our research was to understand small-scale effects of topography and soil fertility on tree growth in a forest biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) experiment in subtropical SE China. Methods Geomorphometric terrain an...

Leaf area increases with species richness in young experimental stands of subtropical trees

Abstract:
Aims Most biodiversity–ecosystem functioning research has been carried out in grassland ecosystems, and little is known about whether forest ecosystems, in particular outside the temperate zone, respond similarly. Here, we tested whether the prod...

Species and genetic diversity of leaf litter affect its decomposition in subtropical broadleaved forest in southern China

Abstract:
Aims Litter decomposition is a fundamental process of ecosystem functioning, which is largely dependent on biodiversity of the ecosystems. We explored the effects of species diversity and genetic diversity of litter on its decomposition rate. M...
