Tree diversity promotes functional dissimilarity and maintains functional richness despite species loss in predator assemblages
Abstract:
The effects of species loss on ecosystems depend on the functional characteristics of the species, i.e. the functional diversity, in a community. However, how functional diversity is impacted by environmental changes in natural ecosystems is only ...

Tree diversity promotes predator but not omnivore ants in a subtropical Chinese forest
Abstract:
1. Epigeic ants are functionally important arthropods in tropical and subtropical forests, particularly by acting as predators. High predation pressure has been hypothesized to be a mechanism facilitating high diversity across trophic levels.
2. ...

Tree morphology responds to neighbourhood competition and slope in species-rich forests in subtropical China, doi:10.1016/j.foreco.2010.08.015
Abstract:
A) Species-specific differences in growth responses of crown and stem. Data of projected crown area, crown displacement and stem inclination are compared.
B) The morphological response of crown and stem is influenced by biotic and abiotic param...

Tree phylogenetic diversity promotes host-parasitoid interactions
Abstract:
Evidence from grassland experiments suggests that a plant community’s phylogenetic diversity (PD) is a strong predictor of ecosystem processes, even stronger than species richness per se. This has, however, never been extended to species-rich fore...

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...
