Abstract: One hundred and sixty plots, approximately every 100 m above sea level (a.s.1.) along an altitudinal gradient from 470 to 3 080 a.s.1. at the southern northern watershed of Mt. Shennongjia, China, were examined determine pattern plant species diversity. Shennongjia was found have high diversity, with 479 higher plants recorded. Partial correlation analysis detrended canonical correspondence (DCCA) based on diversity revealed that altitude main factor affecting spatial canopy...
Rainfall is one of the primary sources chemical inputs in forest ecosystems, and basis nutrient cycling. Mixed evergreen deciduous broadleaved forests are currently most threatened ecosystems due to their sensitivity anthropogenic climate change. As such, understanding hydrochemical fluxes these systems critical for managing dynamics future. We investigate chemistry bulk precipitation, stemflow throughfall a mixed Shennongjia region Central China. Mean concentrations were higher than...
Leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) resorption is a fundamental adaptation strategy for plant nutrient conservation. However, the relative roles that environmental factors functional traits play in regulating N P remain largely unclear, little known about underlying mechanism of affecting resorption. Here, we measured leaf 13 leaf, petiole, twig 101 representative broad-leaved tree species our target subtropical transitional forests. We integrated these multiple into economics spectrum...
Abstract Interception loss accounts for a substantial portion of incident precipitation and evapotranspiration in forest ecosystems. Hence, identifying its magnitude is crucial our understanding biogeochemical cycling related hydrological processes. In this study, gross rainfall partitioning into interception loss, throughfall stemflow were measured modelled using the revised Gash model mixed evergreen deciduous broadleaved over 2014 growing season. Field survey results revealed that...
Abstract Large‐scale water conservancy projects benefit human life but have modified the landscape and provided opportunities for alien plant invasions. Understanding environmental (e.g., climate), human‐related population density, proximity to activities), biotic native plant, community structure) factors driving invasions is essential in management of plants biodiversity conservation areas with intense pressure. To this end, we investigated spatial patterns species distribution Three...
Extreme climatic events can trigger gradual or abrupt shifts in forest ecosystems via the reduction elimination of foundation species. However, impacts these on species' demography and dynamics remain poorly understood. Here we quantified for both evergreen deciduous broad-leaved species groups, utilizing a monitoring permanent plot subtropical montane mixed central China from 2001 to 2010 with particular relevance anomalous 2008 ice storm episode. We found that groups showed limited...
Soil respiration is the second-largest terrestrial carbon (C) flux, and soil temperature moisture are main drivers of temporal variation in its components. Here, we quantified contribution temperature, moisture, their intersection on components evergreen broad-leaved forests (EBF), mixed deciduous (MF), (DBF), subalpine coniferous (CF) along an elevation gradient.We measured four types gradient Shennongjia, Hubei China based trenching experiments. We parameterized relationships between...
Summary Darwin's two opposing hypotheses, proposing that non‐native species closely or distantly related to native are more likely succeed, known as ‘Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum’. Recently, invasion ecologists have sought unravel these hypotheses. Studies incorporate rich observational data in disturbed ecosystems integrate phylogenetic and functional perspectives potential shed light on the conundrum. Using 313 invaded plant communities including 46 invasive 531 across Three Gorges...
Abstract Mixed evergreen-deciduous broadleaved forest is the transitional type of evergreen and deciduous forest, plays a unique eco-hydrologic role in terrestrial ecosystem. We investigated spatio-temporal patterns throughfall volume Shennongjia, central China. The results indicated that represented 84.8% gross rainfall forest. mean CV (coefficient variation) was 27.27%. Inter-event variability stand-scale generation can be substantially altered due to changes characteristics, decreased...
Most vascular plants acclimate respiration to changes in ambient temperature, but explicit tests of these responses field settings are rare, and how acclimation vary space time is relatively unstudied, hindering our ability predict respiratory release carbon under future climatic conditions. We measured temperature response curves leaf for three deciduous tree species from 2009 2012 a warming experiment (+3.4 °C above ambient) both open understory conditions at two sites the southern boreal...
Abstract Plants often adjust their leaf mitochondrial (“dark”) respiration ( R d ) measured at a standardized temperature such as 20°C 20 downward after experiencing warmer temperatures and upward cooler temperatures. These responses may help leaves maintain advantageous photosynthetic capacity and/or be response to recent photosynthate accumulation, can occur within days change in thermal regime. It is not clear, however, how the sensitivity magnitude of this over time, or which time period...
World Natural Heritage site is recognized globally as the pinnacle of natural protected areas that are cornerstones biodiversity conservation.The Shennongjia represents one worldwide hotspots.But, until now, it has not been clear how outstanding universal value worldwide, and this study presents most compelling challenges to conservation efforts.Here, we compiled literature conducted additional field surveys in region illustrate Site using criteria (ix) (x), following operational guidelines...
Carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems can be significantly increased by afforestation, which will slow global warming. However, it is still unclear how different plantations influence the carbon sink and they respond to environmental factors, especially drylands. In this study, eddy correlation method (EC) was used measure water fluxes factors of two artificial forests (Larix principis-rupprechtii Pinus tabulaeformis) dryland Northwest China, responses evapotranspiration (ET), net ecosystem...
