Toward a methodical framework for comprehensively assessing forest multifunctionality
Abstract:
Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research has extended its scope from communities that are short-lived or reshape their structure annually to structurally complex forest ecosystems. The establishment of tree diversity experiments poses spe...

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...

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...

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...

Ants at plant wounds - A little-known trophic interaction with evolutionary implications for ant-plant interactions
Abstract:
Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) allow plants to engage in mutualisms with ants preventing herbivory in exchange for food. EFNs occur scattered through the plant phylogeny and likely evolved independently from herbivore-created wounds subsequently vis...

Tree diversity increases levels of herbivore damage in a subtropical forest canopy: evidence for dietary mixing by arthropods?
Abstract:
Aims
Plant diversity has been linked to both increasing and decreasing levels of arthropod herbivore damage in different plant communities. So far, these links have mainly been studied in grasslands or in artificial tree plantations with low spe...
