Species-specific effects of genetic diversity and species diversity of experimental communities on early tree performance

Abstract:
Aims Changing biodiversity can affect ecosystem functioning. However, the role of genetic diversity within species, relative to the one of species diversity, has hardly been addressed. Methods To address the effects of both genetic diversity an...

Inter- and intraspecific variation in specific root length drives aboveground biodiversity effects in young experimental forest stands

Abstract:
Aims Although the net biodiversity effect (NE) can be statistically partitioned into complementarity and selection effects (CE and SE), there are different underlying mechanisms that can cause a certain partitioning. Our objective was to assess t...

Positive effects of tree species richness on fine-root production in a subtropical forest in SE-China

Abstract:
Aims Fine roots play an important role in the biogeochemical cycles of terrestrial ecosystems and are vital for understanding forest ecosystem functioning and services. Higher plant species diversity has been largely reported to increase abovegro...

Tree diversity increases levels of herbivore damage in a subtropical forest canopy: evidence for dietary mixing by arthropods?

Abstract:
Aims Plant diversity has been linked to both increasing and decreasing levels of arthropod herbivore damage in different plant communities. So far, these links have mainly been studied in grasslands or in artificial tree plantations with low spe...

Ants at plant wounds - A little-known trophic interaction with evolutionary implications for ant-plant interactions

Abstract:
Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) allow plants to engage in mutualisms with ants preventing herbivory in exchange for food. EFNs occur scattered through the plant phylogeny and likely evolved independently from herbivore-created wounds subsequently vis...

Can niche plasticity promote biodiversity-productivity relationships through increased complementarity?

Abstract:
Most experimental biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research to date has addressed herbaceous plant communities. Comparably little is known about how forest communities will respond to species losses, despite their importance for global biogeoc...
