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...

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 ...

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 ...

Effects of ectomycorrhizal fungal identity and diversity on subtropical tree competition

Abstract:
Aims Mycorrhizal fungi can influence plant nutrient uptake and therefore may alter interspecific plant competition. However, the role of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi on interspecific plant competition in subtropical forests is poorly understood. In...

Soil respiration is driven by fine root biomass along a forest chronosequence in subtropical China

Abstract:
Aims Soil respiration (Rs) is a major process controlling soil carbon loss in forest ecosystems. However, the underlying mechanisms leading to variation in Rs along forest successional gradients are not well understood. In this study, we investig...

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...
