Significant efforts have been invested to restore mangrove forests worldwide through reforestation and afforestation. However, blue carbon benefit has not compared between these two silvicultural pathways at the global scale. Here, we integrated results from direct field measurements of over 370 restoration sites around world show that (reestablishing mangroves where they previously colonized) had a greater storage potential per hectare than afforestation (establishing mangrove). Greater...
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 assessment of ecological environmental quality (EEQ) has provided an important knowledge base for protecting human health and realizing sustainable development. Previous studies have often used only principal component analysis (PCA) to perform the EEQ evaluation by determining remote sensing based index (RSEI) in a single year, results are not comparable between years. Thus, accurate method needs be found applied. In this paper, we applied PCA combined with random forest algorithm (a...

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...
Abstract Elevation gradients are frequently treated as useful space‐for‐time substitutions for inferring trait variations in response to different environmental conditions. The independent leaf traits elevation well understood, but far less is known about covariation and its controls. This limits our understanding of the principles mechanisms covariation, especially along subtropical forests. Here, we studied among seven functional traits, including size (LS), nitrogen per unit mass ( N ),...
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...
Shrub layer diversity is an essential component of the forest ecosystem diversity, that contributes significantly to structuring community and maintaining especially in plantation forests. In previous studies, researchers have reported strong relationship among various factors (i.e., soil composition, mean annual temperature, etc.) shrub diversity. However, how these jointly influence which could be considered key still unknown. this study, we attempted quantify effect environmental factors,...
Pinus tabuliformis is an important afforestation species in the Loess Plateau. Quick and accurate estimation of aboveground biomass (AGB) P. plantations plays role monitoring regional forest resources. Here, we used multi-spectral remote sensing data domestic satellite GF-2 field to estimate Shibao farm Huanglong Mountain Shaanxi Province. We calculated eight texture features five vegetation indices, then built models based four windows (3×3, 5×5, 7×7, 9×9) by using regression methods...
Competition is an essential driving factor that influences forest community sustainability, yet measuring it poses several challenges. To date, the Index (CI) has generally been tool of choice for quantifying actual competition. In this study, we proposed using Total Overlap (TOI), a CI in which Area (AO) index adapted and modified to consider “shading” “crowding” effects vertical dimension. Next, based on six mixed plots Xiaolong Mountain, Gansu, China, assessed results determine TOI’s...
Carbon isotope composition (indicated by leaf δ13C) reflects plants' strategies to balance carbon acquisition and water loss, which is directly linked use efficiency. At a large scale, δ13C has been demonstrated be closely related climate plant functional types; however, at regional its variation across an aridity gradient species categories covariation with traits in economic spectrum (LES) are still unclear. Here, multivariate statistical analysis was carried out 271 observations of from...
