Abstract Mangrove forests, one of the highest carbon density ecosystems, are very different from other forests as they occupy saline and tidal habitats. Although previous studies in shrublands grasslands have shown a positive effect biodiversity on plant biomass storage, it remains unclear whether this relation to also exists mangrove forests. Here, we evaluate possible effects species diversity, structural characteristics environmental factors production using survey data 234 field plots 30...
Abstract Aim Mangrove forests are important coastal wetlands for the blue carbon budget and play a significant role in mitigating global climate change. However, spatial patterns of stocks mangrove on an island scale have not been quantified owing to methodological limitations lack understanding controlling factors. We took entire Hainan Island as case study aimed carry out comprehensive investigation driving factors forests. Location Southern China. Time period 2017–2020. Major taxa studied...
Abstract Background Although great efforts have been made to quantify mangrove carbon stocks, accurate estimations of below-ground stocks remain unreliable. In this study, we examined the distribution patterns in China and other countries using our own field survey data datasets from published literature. Based on these data, investigated possible relationships between above-ground stock (AGC) (BGC) for forests, aiming provide a scientific basis estimation total stocks. Results The average...
The fast-growing exotic mangrove species ( Laguncularia racemosa ) has been widely introduced in new territories such as China to restore ecosystems. However, the invasiveness, well mechanisms for rapid expansion after introduction are still not studied. Here, we try reveal possible micro-mechanisms fast of L. , using data on leaf stomata straits, gas-exchange parameters, stable isotope ratios, carbon-nitrogen allocation from and adjacent native mangroves Avicennia marina, Aegiceras...
Few studies have systematically assessed the ecological status of mangrove wetlands following stress anthropogenic activities in China. This study investigated spatial and seasonal distribution benthic macroinvertebrate communities quality habitats on an island scale Hainan, China (containing third largest area highest species richness). For macrofauna community structure, a total 102 macrobenthic taxa belonging to 50 families were identified, with Crustaceans, Molluscs, Polychaetes,...
Geopark ecosystem function assessments form an essential knowledge base for natural resource conservation and sustainable development. In this study, we evaluated changes in water retention carbon sequestration forests the Huangshan United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Global (HUGG), China, from 2000 to 2015. We analyzed relationship between these functions various controlling factors. The HUGG experienced significant during study period. Water increased...
The diversity–productivity relationship in grasslands is predominantly positive but also highly variable because of its complex influencing mechanisms natural ecosystems. In this study, we investigated plant diversity, biomass, and associated drivers (e.g., climate, soil, traits) along an elevational gradient southwest China. Grassland biomass decreased significantly, grassland diversity increased with increasing elevation. Consequently, a significant negative between was detected the...
Phosphorus (P) is not only an essential nutrient element for plant but also one of the elements agricultural-dominated watershed pollution. While vegetation in riparian zone usually plays important role regulating P pollutants. However, how afforestation types affect soil fractions remains largely unclear. Here, we investigated fractions, and associated drivers including edaphic properties, microbial attributes , enzyme activities under conversion from cropland to different afforested lands...

While vegetation in riparian zone usually plays important role regulating P pollutants. However, how afforestation affects soil dynamics and fractions remains largely unclear.
