Early positive effects of tree species richness on herbivory in a large-scale forest biodiversity experiment influence tree growth

Abstract:
Despite the importance of herbivory for the structure and functioning of species-rich forests, little is known about how herbivory is affected by tree species richness, and more specifically by random versus nonrandom species loss. We assessed her...

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...

Use of near-infrared spectroscopy to assess phosphorus fractions of different plant availability in forest soils

Abstract:
Abstract. The fractionation of soil P into fractions of different plant availability is a common approach to characterize the P status of forest soils. However, quantification of organic and inorganic P fractions in different extracts is labour-in...

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...

Relationships between soil microorganisms, plant communities and soil characteristics in Chinese subtropical forests. - Ecosystems Ecosystems

Abstract:
Soil microbial community and activity is generally thought to be mainly determined by soil variables. This paper also looks at the influence of vegetation layer characteristics (herbs and trees, cover, mass, diversity) on soil microbes.
