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_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_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...

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_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...

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...
