Impact of tree diversity, successional stage, and environmental factors on leaf litter decomposition in an evergreen broad-leaved forest in subtropical China.
Abstract:
Background and aims
Tree diversity is considered to influence decomposition either by changing environmental conditions or by non-additive litter mixture effects. Thus, we examined the influence of tree species richness, forest age and environmen...

Tree diversity alters the structure of a tri-trophic network in a biodiversity experiment
Abstract:
Species and processes in ecosystems are part of multi-trophic interaction networks. Plants represent the lowest trophic level in terrestrial ecosystems, and experiments have shown a stabilizing effect of plant diversity on higher trophic levels. S...

Positive effects of tree species diversity on litterfall quantity and quality along a secondary successional chronosequence in a subtropical forest
Abstract:
Aims
Litterfall, as the link between aboveground and belowground processes, plays a key role in forest ecosystems. Here, we test for effects of species richness on litterfall production and litter quality. The study encompasses a factorial gradie...

Diversity of root-associated fungi of Vaccinium mandarinorum along a human disturbance gradient in subtropical forests, China
Abstract:
Ericaceous plant species can host diverse fungi in their roots, including ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (ERMF), endophytes, pathogens, and some species with unknown functions. However, how this diversity of symbiotic fungi responds to different human ...

Preservation of nucleic acids by freeze-drying for next generation sequencing analyses of soil microbial communities
Abstract:
Aims
Soil sample preservation is a challenging aspect in molecular studies on soil microbial communities. The demands for specialized sample storage equipment, chemicals and standardized protocols for nucleic acid extraction often require sample ...

A guide to analyzing biodiversity experiments
Abstract:
Aims
The aim of this guide is to provide practical help for ecologists who analyze data from biodiversity–ecosystem functioning experiments. Our approach differs from others in the use of least-squares based linear models (LMs) together with rest...
