On the combined effect of soil fertility and topography on tree growth in subtropical forest ecosystems - a study from SE China
Abstract:
Aims
The aim of our research was to understand small-scale effects of topography and soil fertility on tree growth in a forest biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) experiment in subtropical SE China.
Methods
Geomorphometric terrain an...

Observational natural history and morphological taxonomy are indispensable for future challenges in biodiversity and conservation
Abstract:
Global biodiversity is rapidly declining, leading inevitably to a loss of ecosystem functionality when species and their associated life-history traits vanish. Unfortunately, even in the 21st century, a large proportion of Earth’s species are yet ...

Net Assimilation Rate Determines the Growth Rates of 14 Species of Subtropical Forest Trees
Abstract:
Growth rates are of fundamental importance for plants, as individual size affects myriad
ecological processes. We determined the factors that generate variation in RGR among 14
species of trees and shrubs that are abundant in subtropical Chinese...

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...

Mechanisms promoting tree species co-existence: Experimental evidence with saplings of subtropical forest ecosystems of China
Abstract:
Questions
The maintenance of a diverse sapling pool is of particular importance for the regeneration and persistance of species-rich forest ecosystems. However, the mechanisms of co-existence of saplings have rarely been studied experimentally. D...

Maintenance of constant functional diversity during secondary succession of a subtropical forest in China
Abstract:
Questions
Does the importance of biotic interactions between tree species increase during secondary forest succession? Do functional trait values become increasingly divergent from early towards late successional stages and how is functional di...
