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...

Designing forest biodiversity experiments: general considerations illustrated by a new large experiment in subtropical China
Abstract:
Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) experiments address ecosystem-level consequences of species loss by comparing communities of high species richness with communities from which species have been gradually eliminated. BEF experiments origina...

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 ...

Tree diversity and nectar composition affect arthropod visitors on extrafloral nectaries in a diversity experiment
Abstract:
Aims
Plants with extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are common in tropical and subtropical habitats and, despite many other arthropods also forage for EFN, most studies solely focused on the defense mutualisms between EFN plants and ants. This ...

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 ...

Rule-based analysis of throughfall kinetic energy to evaluate biotic and abiotic factor thresholds to mitigate erosive power
Abstract:
Below vegetation, throughfall kinetic energy (TKE) is an important factor to express the potential of rainfall to detach soil particles and thus for predicting soil erosion rates. TKE is affected by many biotic (e.g. tree height, leaf area index) ...
