FOR891_sp03e traits: SP03e Plant functional traits and functional diversity as predictors of ecosy...

Description:
In the first phase of BEF-China, this subproject has focused on the Comparative Study Plots (CSPs) in the Gutianshan National Nature Reserve and demonstrated how functional diversity is maintained during secondary succession. A large range of le...

FOR891_sp04e Plant genetics: SP04e The role of genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity in the context...

Description:
Plant population responses to species diversity may either come about as an effect of phenotypic plasticity, due to genetic variation in individual responses, or due to genetic variation in phenotypic plasticity. However, genetic variation, an i...

FOR891_sp06e soil: SP06e Mechanisms of soil erosion as a function of species richness and speci...

Description:
During the first phase of BEF China (2008-2010), we have concentrated our research on the modification of the kinetic energy of precipitation by its pass through the tree canopy. All measurements were conducted in the CSPs under natural rainfall...

FOR891_sp07e soil microbes: SP07e Interplay of soil microbial and mycorrhiza fungal diversity with veget...

Description:
Microorganisms and mycorrhizal fungi rule resource cycling and plant adaptation to soils. Their community and diversity vary with plant diversity, soil properties and erosion, but were scarcely analysed in highly diverse subtropical forests with...

FOR891_sp08e heterotroph: SP08e Diversity and functional effects of herbivores, predators and saproxyl...

Description:
Herbivores have been suggested as important drivers of tree diversity in phytodiverse forests. Our herbivory census with BEF China revealed a positive herbivory-plant diversity relationship in the CSPs. This indicates that resource-concentration...

FOR891_sp09e foodweb: SP09e Aboveground multi-trophic plant-insect interactions in a Chinese subtr...

Description:
Plant biodiversity and site productivity shape the complexity of multi-trophic interactions, which, in turn, can influence plant performance and community structure. Analyses of multitrophic interactions are therefore crucial to understand the ro...
