Leaf trait-environment relationships in a subtropical broadleaved forest in South-East China

Abstract:
Although trait analyses have become more important in community ecology, trait-environment correlations have rarely been studied along successional gradients. We asked which environmental variables had the strongest impact on intraspecific and int...

Kinetic energy of throughfall in subtropical forests of SE China–effects of tree canopy structure, functional traits, and biodiversity

Abstract:
To relate throughfall kinetic energy to specific tree species and to forest stands of different biodiversity levels: How and to what extend do specific species change the kinetic energy of throughfall? Is the effect of tree height and crown arch...

Assessing tree dendrometrics in young regenerating plantations using terrestrial laser scanning

Abstract:
Context Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides a valuable tool for the retrieval of detailed individual-tree structural parameters, but has never previously been applied to young stands under field conditions. Aims The aim was to explore t...

Tree diversity promotes functional dissimilarity and maintains functional richness despite species loss in predator assemblages

Abstract:
The effects of species loss on ecosystems depend on the functional characteristics of the species, i.e. the functional diversity, in a community. However, how functional diversity is impacted by environmental changes in natural ecosystems is only ...

Ant community structure during forest succession in a subtropical forest in South-East China

Abstract:
Understanding how communities respond to environmental gradients is critical to predict responses of species to changing habitat conditions such as in regenerating secondary habitats after human land use. In this study, ground-living ants were sam...

Mechanisms promoting tree species co-existence: Experimental evidence with saplings of subtropical forest ecosystems of China

Abstract:
Questions The maintenance of a diverse sapling pool is of particular importance for the regeneration and persistance of species-rich forest ecosystems. However, the mechanisms of co-existence of saplings have rarely been studied experimentally. D...
