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...

Spatio-temporal water uptake patterns of tree saplings are not altered by interspecific interaction in the early stage of a subtropical forest
Abstract:
Complementary resource use has often been claimed to explain positive effects of plant diversity on
ecosystem functioning, but the underlying mechanisms of complementarity have rarely been directly
quantified in forest systems. The aim of this s...

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...

Aenictus hoelldobleri sp. n., a new species of the Aenictus ceylonicus group (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from China, with a key to the Chinese A. ceylonicus group species
Abstract:
Aenictus is the most species-rich genus of army ants in the subfamily Dorylinae and one of the most species rich ant genera in China and the World. In this paper a new species of the Aenictus ceylonicus group, Aenictus hoelldobleri Staab sp. n., i...

Soil respiration is driven by fine root biomass along a forest chronosequence in subtropical China
Abstract:
Aims
Soil respiration (Rs) is a major process controlling soil carbon loss in forest ecosystems. However, the underlying mechanisms leading to variation in Rs along forest successional gradients are not well understood. In this study, we investig...

Seasonal characteristics and determinants of tree growth in a Chinese subtropical forest
Abstract:
Aims
18 To quantify the seasonal differences in effects of leaf habit, species identity, initial diameter, neighborhood interaction and stand environment on tree absolute diameter growth rates in a subtropical forest in China.
Methods
We used m...
