Mixed afforestations of young subtropical trees promote nitrogen acquisition and retention
Abstract:
Afforestation is globally increasing to produce timber and pulp wood, but also to enhance ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, nutrient retention or groundwater recharge. In China, large areas have been and will be afforested in or...

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...

Biodiversity Promotes Tree Growth during Succession in Subtropical Forest
Abstract:
Losses of plant species diversity can affect ecosystem functioning, with decreased primary productivity being the most frequently reported effect in experimental plant assemblages, including tree plantations. Less is known about the role of biodiv...

A new species of the Aenictus wroughtonii group (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from South-East China
Abstract:
A new species of army ant from the Aenictus wroughtonii group is described and illustrated based on the worker caste. Aenictus gutianshanensis Staab sp. n. is distributed in the subtropical forests of South-East China, and is probably most closely...

Horizontal, but not vertical canopy structure is related to stand functional diversity in a subtropical slope forest (DOI: 10.1007/s11284-011-0887-3
Abstract:
In biodiversity research, niche complementarity is seen as one mechanism with which species coexistence is maintained. Niche complementarity also results in a more efficient use of the total resource pool, and thus, species-rich communities should...

Woody plant phylogenetic diversity mediates bottom-up control of arthropod biomass in a species-rich forest
Abstract:
Effects of global change are predicted to cause non-random species loss in plant communities, with important consequences for ecosystem functioning. However, little is known about how plant diversity and the loss of this diversity influence the st...
