Positive effects of tree species diversity on litterfall quantity and quality along a secondary successional chronosequence in a subtropical forest
Abstract:
Aims
Litterfall, as the link between aboveground and belowground processes, plays a key role in forest ecosystems. Here, we test for effects of species richness on litterfall production and litter quality. The study encompasses a factorial gradie...

Tree diversity alters the structure of a tri-trophic network in a biodiversity experiment
Abstract:
Species and processes in ecosystems are part of multi-trophic interaction networks. Plants represent the lowest trophic level in terrestrial ecosystems, and experiments have shown a stabilizing effect of plant diversity on higher trophic levels. S...

Impact of tree diversity, successional stage, and environmental factors on leaf litter decomposition in an evergreen broad-leaved forest in subtropical China.
Abstract:
Background and aims
Tree diversity is considered to influence decomposition either by changing environmental conditions or by non-additive litter mixture effects. Thus, we examined the influence of tree species richness, forest age and environmen...

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...

Throughfall kinetic energy in young subtropical forests: Investigation on tree species richness effects and spatial variability
Abstract:
Soil erosion threatens ecosystem functioning by reducing soil organic carbon stocks or relocating nutrients. A common measure to protect soil against erosion is afforestation. There is growing evidence that mixed-species forest stands have benefic...

Impact of species diversity, stand age and environmental factors on leaf litter decomposition in subtropical forests in China
Abstract:
Tree diversity is considered to influence decomposition either by changing environmental conditions or by non-additive litter mixture effects. Thus, we examined the influence of tree species richness, forest age and environmental factors on single...
