Heritability of early growth traits and their plasticity in 14 woody species of Chinese subtropical forest

Abstract:
Aims Genetic variation in plant traits represents the raw material for future adaptive evolution. Its extent can be estimated as heritability based on the performance of experimental plants of known relatedness, such as maternal half-sib seed fa...

Genetic diversity and differentiation follow secondary succession in a multi-species study on woody plants from subtropical China

Abstract:
Aims: Species diversity and genetic diversity may be affected in parallel by similar environmental drivers. However, genetic diversity may also be affected independently by habitat characteristics. We aim at disentangling relationships between g...

Tree diversity and nectar composition affect arthropod visitors on extrafloral nectaries in a diversity experiment

Abstract:
Aims Plants with extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are common in tropical and subtropical habitats and, despite many other arthropods also forage for extrafloral nectar, most studies solely focused on the defense mutualisms between EFN plants and ants...

Limited tree richness effects on herb layer composition, richness and productivity in experimental forest stands

Abstract:
Aims In forests, the herbaceous understory vegetation plays an important role for ecosystem functioning as it represents a significant component of total aboveground productivity. In addition, the herb layer contributes to overall forest species ...

Impact of tree diversity and environmental conditions on the survival of shrub species in a forest biodiversity experiment in subtropical China

Abstract:
Aims Although shrubs are an important component of forests, their role has not yet been considered in forest biodiversity experiments. In the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) experiment with subtropical tree species in south-east China (...

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...
