Net Assimilation Rate Determines the Growth Rates of 14 Species of Subtropical Forest Trees

Abstract:
Growth rates are of fundamental importance for plants, as individual size affects myriad ecological processes. We determined the factors that generate variation in RGR among 14 species of trees and shrubs that are abundant in subtropical Chinese...

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 ...

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...

Opposing intra vs. interspecific diversity effects on herbivory and growth in subtropical experimental tree assemblages

Abstract:
Aims: Positive plant diversity-ecosystem function relations are ultimately driven by variation in functional traits among individuals that form a community. To date, research has largely focused on the role of species diversity for ecosystem fun...

Phylogeography of a widespread Asian subtropical tree: genetic east-west differentiation and climate envelope modelling suggest multiple glacial refugia

Abstract:
Fossil-based biome reconstructions predict that during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the subtropical zone of East Asia was reduced to a narrow southern belt. In contrast, previous phylogeographical studies of subtropical plant species, many of w...
