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...

Tree species richness strengthens relationships between ants and the functional composition of spider assemblages in a highly diverse forest
Abstract:
In species-rich ecosystems such as (sub)tropical forests, higher trophic level interactions often play key functional roles. Plant species loss may alter these interactions, but particularly among predators intraguild interactions might modify net...

Toward a methodical framework for comprehensively assessing forest multifunctionality
Abstract:
Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research has extended its scope from communities that are short-lived or reshape their structure annually to structurally complex forest ecosystems. The establishment of tree diversity experiments poses spe...

Designing forest biodiversity experiments: general considerations illustrated by a new large experiment in subtropical China
Abstract:
Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) experiments address ecosystem-level consequences of species loss by comparing communities of high species richness with communities from which species have been gradually eliminated. BEF experiments origina...

Tree diversity increases levels of herbivore damage in a subtropical forest canopy: evidence for dietary mixing by arthropods?
Abstract:
Aims
Plant diversity has been linked to both increasing and decreasing levels of arthropod herbivore damage in different plant communities. So far, these links have mainly been studied in grasslands or in artificial tree plantations with low spe...

Tree diversity promotes predator but not omnivore ants in a subtropical Chinese forest
Abstract:
1. Epigeic ants are functionally important arthropods in tropical and subtropical forests, particularly by acting as predators. High predation pressure has been hypothesized to be a mechanism facilitating high diversity across trophic levels.
2. ...

Ant community structure during forest succession in a subtropical forest in South-East China
Abstract:
Understanding how communities respond to environmental gradients is critical to predict responses of species to changing habitat conditions such as in regenerating secondary habitats after human land use. In this study, ground-living ants were sam...

Tree morphology responds to neighbourhood competition and slope in species-rich forests in subtropical China, doi:10.1016/j.foreco.2010.08.015
Abstract:
A) Species-specific differences in growth responses of crown and stem. Data of projected crown area, crown displacement and stem inclination are compared.
B) The morphological response of crown and stem is influenced by biotic and abiotic param...
