Tree species and functional traits but not species richness affect interrill erosion processes in young subtropical forests
Abstract:
Soil erosion is seriously threatening ecosystem functioning in many parts of the world. In this context, it is assumed that tree species richness and functional diversity of tree communities can play a critical role in improving ecosystem services...

Tree species richness strengthens relationships between ants and the functional composition of spider assemblages in a highly diverse forest
Abstract:
In species-rich ecosystems such as (sub)tropical forests, higher trophic level interactions often play key functional roles. Plant species loss may alter these interactions, but particularly among predators intraguild interactions might modify net...

Observational natural history and morphological taxonomy are indispensable for future challenges in biodiversity and conservation
Abstract:
Global biodiversity is rapidly declining, leading inevitably to a loss of ecosystem functionality when species and their associated life-history traits vanish. Unfortunately, even in the 21st century, a large proportion of Earth’s species are yet ...

Early positive effects of tree species richness on herbivory in a large-scale forest biodiversity experiment influence tree growth
Abstract:
Despite the importance of herbivory for the structure and functioning of species-rich forests, little is known about how herbivory is affected by tree species richness, and more specifically by random versus nonrandom species loss. We assessed her...

Throughfall kinetic energy in young subtropical forests: Investigation on tree species richness effects and spatial variability
Abstract:
Soil erosion threatens ecosystem functioning by reducing soil organic carbon stocks or relocating nutrients. A common measure to protect soil against erosion is afforestation. There is growing evidence that mixed-species forest stands have benefic...

Trade-offs between physical and chemical carbon-based leaf defence: Of Intraspecific variation and trait evolution
Abstract:
1. Despite recent advances in studies on trade-offs between plant defence traits, little is known whether trade-offs reflect i) evolutionary constraints at the species level or ii) allocation constraints at the individual level. Here, we asked to ...
