Designing forest biodiversity experiments: general considerations illustrated by a new large experiment in subtropical China

Abstract:
Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) experiments address ecosystem-level consequences of species loss by comparing communities of high species richness with communities from which species have been gradually eliminated. BEF experiments origina...

Decomposing functional trait associations in a Chinese subtropical forest

Abstract:
Functional traits, properties of organisms correlated with ecological performance, play a cen- tral role in plant community assembly and functioning. To some extents, functional traits vary in concert, reflecting fundamental ecological strategie...

Community assembly of ectomycorrhizal fungi along a subtropical secondary forest succession

Abstract:
 Environmental selection and dispersal limitation are two of the primary processes structuring biotic communities in ecosystems, but little is known about these processes in shaping the soil microbial community during secondary forest succession....

Can niche plasticity promote biodiversity-productivity relationships through increased complementarity?

Abstract:
Most experimental biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research to date has addressed herbaceous plant communities. Comparably little is known about how forest communities will respond to species losses, despite their importance for global biogeoc...

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...
