Abstract The strength of biotic interactions is generally thought to increase toward the equator, but support for this hypothesis contradictory. We explored whether predator attacks on artificial prey eight different colors vary among climates and variation affects detection latitudinal patterns in predation. Bird attack rates negatively correlated with model luminance cold temperate environments, not tropical environments. predation black white (extremes luminance) models demonstrated...
Litter decomposition is a fundamental ecological process that drives nutrient cycling and energy flow. However, little known about the elevational patterns of this in different stages. We established ten sites on Dongling Mountain Beijing, China, to investigate oak leaf (Quercus liaotungensis) decomposition, as well underlying mechanisms. Our results revealed distinct litter There was no significant altitudinal pattern mass loss Q. liaotungensis leaves at 2nd, 4th, 6th months decomposition....
Above- and below-ground organisms are closely linked, but how elevational distribution pattern of soil microbes shifting across the treeline still remains unknown. Sampling 140 plots with transect, we herein investigated bacterial from a temperate forest up to subalpine meadow along an gradient using Illumina sequencing. Our results revealed distinct patterns diversity above below in responding changes conditions: hollow (correlated temperature, pH, C:N ratio) significantly decreasing...
Abstract Factors shaping the interspecific variations in herbivory have puzzled ecologists for decades and several hypotheses been proposed to explain variation leaf herbivory. In a tropical rainforest Yunnan Province, China, we collected 6732 leaves from 129 species with canopy heights ranging 1.6 65.0 m above ground. We tested role of height, diversity, composition structural heterogeneity neighbors traits Results show that decreased height specific area (SLA) increased size. However,...
Cities are prone to ecological problems, yet the impacts of rapid global urbanization on feedback between above- and belowground subsystems remain largely unknown. We sampled roots 8 common herbaceous plants within Fifth Ring (urban areas) in Jiufeng National Forest Park (rural Beijing (China) assess network plant-arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal associations. Using Illumina MiSeq sequencing, 81 AM OTUs were identified 78 herb root samples. The Shannon, Simpson, Pielou indices fungi urban...
ABSTRACT Aim Long‐standing theory predicts that the intensity of biotic interactions increases from high to low latitudes. Studies addressing geographic variation in predation on insect prey have often relied models, which lack many characteristics live prey. Our goals were explore global latitudinal patterns predator attack rates standardised and compare insects with those plasticine models. Location Global forested areas. Time Period 2021–2023. Major Taxa Arthropods, birds. Methods We...
The diversity and spatial patterns of soil invertebrates are the cornerstones for understanding their ecological functions, which crucial to maintaining nutrient cycling health in forest ecosystems. Based on a continuous altitudinal gradient (1020–1770 m) composed 119 plots, this study analyzed invertebrate communities temperate mountain litter using multi-scale ordination. results indicate that along gradient, both layers exhibit “patches” at scale approximately 33 plots mainly Mesostigmata...
Waste coal-gangue piles not only occupied and destroyed large fields, but also brought about a series of problems environment. So it is significant to do the research on restoring vegetation pile in for local The naturally restored status under artificial interference were investigated by traditional plot-survey, soil chemicals physical properties analyzed using standard methodology. natural patterns along environmental gradient their relationships with ecological factors TWINSPAN, DCA DCCA....
Factors shaping the interspecific variations in herbivory have puzzled ecologists for decades and several hypotheses been proposed. In a tropical rain forest Yunnan Province, China, we collected 6,732 leaves from 129 species with canopy heights ranging 1.6 m to 65.0 above ground. We tested role of plant apparency, leaf traits diversity, composition structural heterogeneity neighbors herbivory. Results show that decreased height specific area increased size. However, neighboring species’...
