The effect of microclimate on wood decay is indirectly altered by tree species diversity in a litterbag study

Abstract:
Aims: We studied the influence of tree species diversity on the dynamics of coarse wood decomposition in developing forest communities in a natural, topographically heterogeneous landscape. Using the litter bag technique we investigated how and to...

The influence of leaf litter diversity and soil fauna on initial soil erosion in subtropical forests

Abstract:
Soil erosion is one of the main environmental problems, especially in subtropical regions with monsoon climate. Afforestation is suggested to be an ecological solution for the loss of soil. Litter cover plays a major role in soil erosion processes...

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...

Toward a methodical framework for comprehensively assessing forest multifunctionality

Abstract:
Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research has extended its scope from communities that are short-lived or reshape their structure annually to structurally complex forest ecosystems. The establishment of tree diversity experiments poses spe...

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 ...
