Inter- and intraspecific variation in specific root length drives aboveground biodiversity effects in young experimental forest stands
Abstract:
Aims
Although the net biodiversity effect (NE) can be statistically partitioned into complementarity and selection effects (CE and SE), there are different underlying mechanisms that can cause a certain partitioning. Our objective was to assess t...

Impact of tree diversity and environmental conditions on the survival of shrub species in a forest biodiversity experiment in subtropical China
Abstract:
Aims
Although shrubs are an important component of forests, their role has not yet been considered in forest biodiversity experiments. In the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) experiment with subtropical tree species in south-east China (...

Community assembly of ectomycorrhizal fungi along a subtropical secondary forest succession
Abstract:
Environmental selection and dispersal limitation are two of the primary processes structuring biotic communities in ecosystems, but little is known about these processes in shaping the soil microbial community during secondary forest succession....

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...

Effect of clear-cutting silviculture on soil respiration in a subtropical forest of China
Abstract:
Aims
Clear-cutting is a common forest management practice, especially in subtropical China. However, the potential ecological consequences of clear-cutting remain unclear. In particular, the effect of clear-cutting on soil processes, such as the ...

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...

Effects of tree sapling diversity and nutrient addition on herb-layer invasibility in young experimental communities of subtropical species
Abstract:
Exotic species are assumed to alter ecosystem functioning. However, little is known of the relationships within vertically structured plant communities such as forests, where tree saplings interact with herbaceous species, especially in the early ...

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...
