Effects of tree sapling diversity and nutrient addition on herb-layer invasibility in young experimental communities of subtropical species

Abstract:
Exotic species are assumed to alter ecosystem functioning. However, little is known of the relationships within vertically structured plant communities such as forests, where tree saplings interact with herbaceous species, especially in the early ...

Effects of topography, neighboring plants and individual size on sapling growth and survivorship in Machillus thunbergii

Abstract:
Growth and survivorship of Machillus thunbergii saplings in mountain forest are likely to be affected by topographical factors, biotic interactions with neighbouring plants, and individual size. However, such effects are always species- and site-s...

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...

Effect of clear-cutting silviculture on soil respiration in a subtropical forest of China

Abstract:
Aims Clear-cutting is a common forest management practice, especially in subtropical China. However, the potential ecological consequences of clear-cutting remain unclear. In particular, the effect of clear-cutting on soil processes, such as the ...

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...

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 ...
