Limited tree richness effects on herb layer composition, richness and productivity in experimental forest stands
Abstract:
Aims
In forests, the herbaceous understory vegetation plays an important role for ecosystem functioning as it represents a significant component of total aboveground productivity. In addition, the herb layer contributes to overall forest species ...

Linking Xylem Hydraulic Conductivity and Vulnerability to the Leaf Economics Spectrum—A Cross-Species Study of 39 Evergreen and Deciduous Broadleaved Subtropical Tree Species
Abstract:
While the fundamental trade-off in leaf traits related to carbon capture as described by the leaf economics spectrum is well-established among plant species, the relationship of the leaf economics spectrum to stem hydraulics is much less known. Si...

Local neighborhood competition following an extraordinary snow break event: implications for tree-individual growth
Abstract:
Sustainable forest management practices and the increased interest of plantation forestry in species mixtures require an understanding of individual-tree growth in complex and diverse forests. Individual-tree growth has been found to be affected b...

Maintenance of constant functional diversity during secondary succession of a subtropical forest in China
Abstract:
Questions
Does the importance of biotic interactions between tree species increase during secondary forest succession? Do functional trait values become increasingly divergent from early towards late successional stages and how is functional di...

Mechanisms promoting tree species co-existence: Experimental evidence with saplings of subtropical forest ecosystems of China
Abstract:
Questions
The maintenance of a diverse sapling pool is of particular importance for the regeneration and persistance of species-rich forest ecosystems. However, the mechanisms of co-existence of saplings have rarely been studied experimentally. D...

Mixed afforestations of young subtropical trees promote nitrogen acquisition and retention
Abstract:
Afforestation is globally increasing to produce timber and pulp wood, but also to enhance ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, nutrient retention or groundwater recharge. In China, large areas have been and will be afforested in or...
