FOR891_sp10c dead wood: SP10c Woody debris dynamics in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest

Description:
Woody debris (WD) plays an important role in the several ecosystem functions of forests. It represents a significant carbon and nutrient pool, promotes biodiversity of wood-dwelling organisms, influences erosion and serves as a fuel for wildfire...

FOR891_sp10e dead wood: SP10e Biodiversity signature in coarse woody detritus dynamics

Description:
Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important component of forest ecosystems throughout the world. It represents a significant carbon and nutrient pool, promotes biodiversity of wooddwelling organisms, influences erosion and serves as a fuel for wil...

FOR891_sp11c invasibility: SP11c Succession and invasibility of herbaceous vegetation under different w...

Description:
The theory that human intervention promotes the invasion of exotic species has been rarely tested in the montane subtropical area. Similarly little is known about their invasive mechanism. The establishment of the Main Experiment of BEF-China at...

FOR891_sp11e invasibility: SP11e The interplay of herbaceous and woody species richness: impacts on inv...

Description:
This subproject studies the interactions between tree layer diversity, herb layer diversity and invasibility in subtropical China. In the first phase of BEF China we focused on characteristics of the herb layer (1) as response variable to tree l...

FOR891_sp12c phosporus: SP12c Root trait variation and plasticity in relation to phosphorus availabi...

Description:
Root traits are critical for nutrient uptake in nutrient-poor environments. For phosphorus (P)- poor subtropical forests of BEF-China, important research questions are how root morphological and physiological traits have adapted to low P conditi...

FOR891_sp12e phosporus: SP12e The effect of tree species diversity on phosphorus availability and cyc...

Description:
The maintenance of soil fertility through species diverse forests might be an important ecosystem service in tropical regions with their large areas of forest plantations. Preliminary investigations at the Comparative Study Plots of BEF China ha...
