Opposing intra vs. interspecific diversity effects on herbivory and growth in subtropical experimental tree assemblages

Abstract:
Aims: Positive plant diversity-ecosystem function relations are ultimately driven by variation in functional traits among individuals that form a community. To date, research has largely focused on the role of species diversity for ecosystem fun...

Heritability of early growth traits and their plasticity in 14 woody species of Chinese subtropical forest

Abstract:
Aims Genetic variation in plant traits represents the raw material for future adaptive evolution. Its extent can be estimated as heritability based on the performance of experimental plants of known relatedness, such as maternal half-sib seed fa...

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...

Genetic diversity and differentiation follow secondary succession in a multi-species study on woody plants from subtropical China

Abstract:
Aims: Species diversity and genetic diversity may be affected in parallel by similar environmental drivers. However, genetic diversity may also be affected independently by habitat characteristics. We aim at disentangling relationships between g...

Tree diversity and nectar composition affect arthropod visitors on extrafloral nectaries in a diversity experiment

Abstract:
Aims Plants with extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are common in tropical and subtropical habitats and, despite many other arthropods also forage for extrafloral nectar, most studies solely focused on the defense mutualisms between EFN plants and ants...

Limited tree richness effects on herb layer composition, richness and productivity in experimental forest stands

Abstract:
Aims In forests, the herbaceous understory vegetation plays an important role for ecosystem functioning as it represents a significant component of total aboveground productivity. In addition, the herb layer contributes to overall forest species ...
