Species and genetic diversity of leaf litter affect its decomposition in subtropical broadleaved forest in southern China

Abstract:
Aims Litter decomposition is a fundamental process of ecosystem functioning, which is largely dependent on biodiversity of the ecosystems. We explored the effects of species diversity and genetic diversity of litter on its decomposition rate. M...

Spatio-temporal water uptake patterns of tree saplings are not altered by interspecific interaction in the early stage of a subtropical forest

Abstract:
Complementary resource use has often been claimed to explain positive effects of plant diversity on ecosystem functioning, but the underlying mechanisms of complementarity have rarely been directly quantified in forest systems. The aim of this s...

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...

Soil microbial responses to warming and increased precipitation and their implications for ecosystem C cycling

Abstract:
A better understanding of soil microbial ecology is critical to gaining an understanding of terrestrial carbon (C) cycle–climate change feedbacks. However, current knowledge limits our ability to predict microbial community dynamics in the face of...

Soil and tree species traits both shape soil microbial communities during early growth of Chinese subtropical forests

Abstract:
A better understanding of the linkages between aboveground and belowground biotic communities is needed for more accurate predictions about how ecosystems may be altered by climate change, land management, or biodiversity loss. Soil microbes are s...

Site and neighborhood effects on growth of tree saplings in subtropical plantations (China)

Abstract:
Reforestation and afforestation often takes place in the form of monocultures. These have increasingly come under criticism due to their greater susceptibility to adverse environmental conditions and pathogens and because of the negative long-term...
