Leaf morphology of 40 evergreen and deciduous broadleaved subtropical tree species and relationships to functional ecophysiological traits.

Abstract:
We explored potential of morphological and anatomical leaf traits for predicting eco- physiological key functions in subtropical trees. We asked whether the ecophysiological parameters stomatal conductance and xylem cavitation vulnerability could ...

Transpiration and stomatal control: A cross-species study of leaf traits in 39 evergreen and deciduous broadleaved subtropical tree species.

Abstract:
Key message: Using an extensive dataset for 39 sub- tropical broadleaved tree species, we found traits of the leaf economics spectrum to be linked to mean stomatal conductance but not to stomatal regulation. The aim of our study was to establish ...

Shifts in community leaf functional traits are related to litter decomposition along a secondary forest succession series in subtropical China

Abstract:
We investigated shifts in community weighted mean traits (CWM) of 14 leaf functional traits along a secondary successional series in an evergreen broadleaf forest in subtropical southeast China. Most of the investigated traits have been reported t...

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 ...

Throughfall kinetic energy in young subtropical forests: Investigation on tree species richness effects and spatial variability

Abstract:
Soil erosion threatens ecosystem functioning by reducing soil organic carbon stocks or relocating nutrients. A common measure to protect soil against erosion is afforestation. There is growing evidence that mixed-species forest stands have benefic...

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...
