Biodiversity Promotes Tree Growth during Succession in Subtropical Forest
Abstract:
Losses of plant species diversity can affect ecosystem functioning, with decreased primary productivity being the most frequently reported effect in experimental plant assemblages, including tree plantations. Less is known about the role of biodiv...

A Unique Nest-Protection Strategy in a New Species of Spider Wasp
Abstract:
Hymenoptera show a great variation in reproductive potential and nesting behavior, from thousands of eggs in sawflies to just a dozen in nest-provisioning wasps. Reduction in reproductive potential in evolutionary derived Hymenoptera is often faci...

The influence of leaf litter diversity and soil fauna on initial soil erosion in subtropical forests
Abstract:
Soil erosion is one of the main environmental problems, especially in subtropical regions with monsoon climate. Afforestation is suggested to be an ecological solution for the loss of soil. Litter cover plays a major role in soil erosion processes...

Mixed afforestations of young subtropical trees promote nitrogen acquisition and retention
Abstract:
Afforestation is globally increasing to produce timber and pulp wood, but also to enhance ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, nutrient retention or groundwater recharge. In China, large areas have been and will be afforested in or...

Tree diversity promotes predator but not omnivore ants in a subtropical Chinese forest
Abstract:
1. Epigeic ants are functionally important arthropods in tropical and subtropical forests, particularly by acting as predators. High predation pressure has been hypothesized to be a mechanism facilitating high diversity across trophic levels.
2. ...

Soil and tree species traits both shape soil microbial communities during early growth of Chinese subtropical forests
Abstract:
A better understanding of the linkages between aboveground and belowground biotic communities is needed for more accurate predictions about how ecosystems may be altered by climate change, land management, or biodiversity loss. Soil microbes are s...
