CSPs: soil respiration in 16 CSPs

Abstract:
The present study was performed in 16 plots spanning a forest age gradient from 20 to 120 years. We investigated the effects of the successional stage on soil respiration (Rs), autotrophic respiration (Ra) and heterotrophic respiration (Rh) in an ...

Spatio-temporal water uptake patterns of tree saplings are not altered by interspecific interaction in the early stage of a subtropical forest

Abstract:
Complementary resource use has often been claimed to explain positive effects of plant diversity on ecosystem functioning, but the underlying mechanisms of complementarity have rarely been directly quantified in forest systems. The aim of this s...

Impact of species diversity, stand age and environmental factors on leaf litter decomposition in subtropical forests in China

Abstract:
Tree diversity is considered to influence decomposition either by changing environmental conditions or by non-additive litter mixture effects. Thus, we examined the influence of tree species richness, forest age and environmental factors on single...

Shifts in community leaf functional traits are related to litter decomposition along a secondary forest succession series in subtropical China

Abstract:
We investigated shifts in community weighted mean traits (CWM) of 14 leaf functional traits along a secondary successional series in an evergreen broadleaf forest in subtropical southeast China. Most of the investigated traits have been reported t...
