Tree diversity improves forest productivity Experimental studies in grasslands have shown that the loss of species has negative consequences for ecosystem functioning. Is same true forests? Huang et al. report first results from a large biodiversity experiment subtropical China. The study combines many replicates, realistic tree densities, and plot sizes with wide range richness levels. After 8 years experiment, findings suggest strong positive effects on carbon accumulation. Thus, changing...
Subtropical broad-leaved forests in southeastern China support a high diversity of woody plants. Using comparative study design with 30 × m plots (n = 27) from five successional stages (<20, <40, <60, <80, and ≥80 yr), we investigated how the gradient species composition reflects underlying processes community assembly. In particular, tested whether richness adult trees shrubs decreased or increased assessed to which degree this pattern was caused by negative density dependence continuous...
1.Insect herbivory can strongly affect ecosystem processes, and its relationship with plant diversity is a central topic in biodiversity-functioning research. However, very little known about this from complex ecosystems dominated by long-lived individuals, such as forests, especially over gradients of high diversity.2.We analysed insect on saplings 10 tree shrub species across 27 forest stands differing age richness an extraordinarily diverse subtropical China. We tested whether...
Summary Afforestation is globally increasing to produce timber and pulp wood, but also enhance ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, nutrient retention or groundwater recharge. In China, large areas have been will be afforested in order compensate for the negative impacts of former clear‐cuttings make use associated with afforestation. further optimize these regard balanced (particularly nitrogen) cycles, it important know whether mixtures native tree species afforestation...
Abstract Questions The maintenance of a diverse sapling pool is particular importance for the regeneration and persistance species‐rich forest ecosystems. However, mechanisms co‐existence saplings have rarely been studied experimentally. Do species richness, composition, identity stand density affect co‐existence, growth patterns crown architecture tree saplings? Location Jiangxi Province, southeast China. Methods In field experiment, we manipulated local neighbourhood four...
Social interactions are a crucial part of human life. Understanding the neural underpinnings social is challenging task that hyperscanning method trying to tackle in last two decades. Here, we review existing literature and evaluate current state method. We type methods (fMRI, M/EEG, fNIRS) used measure brain activity from more than one participant simultaneously their pros cons for hyperscanning. Further, discuss different types analyses estimate between networks synchronization. Lastly,...
We are witnessing a growing gap separating primary research data from derived products presented as knowledge in publications. Although journals today more often require the underlying used to derive results prerequisite for publication, important link is lost. However, documenting postprocessing steps of linking, with has potential increase accuracy and reproducibility scientific findings significantly. Here, we introduce rBEFdata R package companion collaborative management platform...
Forest ecosystems contribute substantially to global terrestrial primary productivity and climate regulation, but, in contrast grasslands, experimental evidence for a positive biodiversity-productivity relationship highly diverse forests is still lacking 1 . Here, we provide such from large forest biodiversity experiment with novel design 2 subtropical China. Productivity (stand-level tree basal area, aboveground volume carbon their annual increment) increased linearly the logarithm of...
