Abstract Diversity–biomass relationships (DBRs) often vary with spatial scale in terrestrial ecosystems, but the mechanisms driving these scale‐dependent patterns remain unclear, especially for highly heterogeneous forest ecosystems. This study explores how mutualistic associations between trees and different mycorrhizal fungi, i.e., arbuscular (AM) vs. ectomycorrhizal (EM) association, modulate DBRs. We hypothesized that soil‐heterogeneous forests a mixture of AM EM tree species, (i)...
Summary Soil fertility influences plant community structure, yet few studies have focused on how this influence is affected by the type of mycorrhizal association formed tree species within local communities. We examined relationship aboveground biomass ( AGB ) and diversity adult trees with soil (nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, etc.) in context different spatial distributions arbuscular AM ectomycorrhizal EM a temperate forest Northeast China. Diversity showed positive trend along...
Herbaceous plants contribute greatly to plant diversity and play an important role in regulating the structure functioning of forest ecosystems. Comparing with woody species, herbs exhibit higher sensitivity seasonal changes from spring-growth autumn-mortality. Despite extensive research on understory herb (e.g., abundance richness) forests, how underlying mechanisms change across seasons remain unclear, especially temperate forests. We explored dynamics (here by surveying 174 quadrats (1 m...
Abstract Canopy properties (e.g., canopy structure and spectral variables) strongly influence forest above-ground biomass (AGB). However, the importance of these in driving AGB natural forests, especially relative to other drivers such as plant species diversity environmental conditions, remains poorly understood. We assessed (structure (multidimensional metrics trait composition) regulating along gradients (topography soil nutrients) a temperate Northeast China, using UAV-based LiDAR...
Plant roots can detect and react to the presence of competitors' roots. Intraspecific competition usually constrains root proliferation minimize overlap systems between competitors, especially in resource-impoverished environments. However, it remains largely unclear whether how this decline nutrient-scavenging capacity be complemented by other nutrient-acquisition strategies. Here, we leveraged 25 41-year-old Pinus Sylvestris var. mongolica monocultures with stand densities ranging from 350...
Abstract Forests store substantial amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC), but SOC stocks differ strongly between forest ecosystems dominated by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi. In temperate forests, nearly all tree species associate with either AM EcM fungi, it is unclear if variation in linked to the dominance versus trees at local scales. However, are also influenced many other factors, including plant diversity, traits, properties and microbial community...
Abstract Recent studies suggest that the mycorrhizal type associated with tree species is an important trait influencing ecological processes such as response to environmental conditions and conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD). However, we lack a general understanding of how influences CNDD strength resulting patterns abundance richness at larger spatial scales. We assessed 305 across 15 large, stem‐mapped, temperate forest dynamics plots in Northeastern China North America...
ABSTRACT In temperate mixed forests, dominant ectomycorrhizal (EM) tree species usually coexist with diverse arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) understorey species. Here, we investigated the spatial associations between AM and EM trees in two > 20 ha forest mega‐plots to better understand observed ‘EM‐dominant versus AM‐diverse’ coexistence. Overall, found that positive (e.g., facilitation) were mostly related trees, while negative inhibition) mainly trees. Because adult tended facilitate...
Abstract Mechanisms such as conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) and niche partitioning have been proposed to explain species coexistence community diversity. However, a potentially important axis of partitioning, the role interannual climate variability in driving local dynamics remains largely unknown. Here we used 15‐year monitoring data set more than 53,000 seedlings temperate forest examine (1) what are relative effects variability, biotic interactions, habitat conditions on...

Here, examined how endo‐ epiphytic microbiomes mountains simultaneously respond climate leaf functional traits. Location Temperate forests Changbai Mountain Natural Reserve, China.

Abstract Aim Ecological uniqueness is an essential component of biodiversity. However, the mechanisms underlying patterns ecological remain unresolved. This study aims to assess relative importance as well interactive roles four hypothesized processes (regional climate filtering, local environmental biotic heterogeneity and disturbance intensity [DI]) in shaping across three forest plant life‐forms (trees, shrubs herbs) a large temperate region. Location Northeast China. Methods We...
Biodiversity, large trees, and environmental conditions such as climate soil have important effects on forest carbon stocks. However, recent studies in temperate forests suggest that the relative importance of these factors depends tree mycorrhizal associations, whereby large-tree may be driven by ectomycorrhizal (EM) diversity arbuscular (AM) environment depend differential preferences AM EM trees. To test this hypothesis, we used forest-inventory data consisting over 80,000 trees from 631...
As a vital component of biodiversity, phyllosphere bacteria in forest canopy play critical role maintaining plant health and influencing the global biogeochemical cycle. There is limited research on community structure natural forests, which creates gap our understanding whether and/or how are connected to leaf traits their host. In this study, we investigated bacterial diversity composition leaves six dominant tree species deciduous broad-leaved forests northeastern China, using...
Soil respiration in forests contributes to significant carbon dioxide emissions from terrestrial ecosystems but it varies both spatially and seasonally. Both abiotic biotic factors influence soil their relative contribution spatial seasonal variability remains poorly understood, which leads uncertainty models of global C cycling predictions future climate change. Here, we hypothesize that tree diversity, properties contribute local-scale importance changes different seasons. To test our...
Soil’s water-physical properties support essential soil water retention functions for driving distribution and availability, which is vital plant growth biogeochemical cycling. However, the question concerning how tree compositions their interactions with other abiotic factors modulate soil’s in disturbed forests remains poorly understood. Based on observational data from nine permanent forest sites (18,747 trees 210 plots) northeast of China, where once undergone three different levels...

Ecological theory predicts that high local diversity observed in plant communities could be maintained by soilborne pathogens and allelopathic autotoxicity trigger negative conspecific density dependence (CDD), but mutualistic fungi promotion simultaneously counteract these biotic processes. Here, we combined a phenolic-acid addition experiment of tree seedlings associated with different mycorrhizal an extensive field survey to test the allelopathy-fungi mechanisms relate CDD natural...
