Differences in pteridophyte diversity between limestone forests and non-limestone forests in the monsoonal tropics of southwestern China

open access: yesPlant Ecology, 2019
Compared with non-limestone forests, limestone forests tend to show lower pteridophyte diversity, yet they are known to harbor a unique set of species due to their substrate conditions and naturally fragmented habitat areas. Pteridophyte assemblage composition, however, has not been quantitatively investigated in Xishuangbanna, southwestern China ...

Reclamation of a limestone quarry: effect of poultry manure and humic acid on the soil improvement

open access: yesJournal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2022
Limestone processing produces dust covering the soil around the quarry site and may affect soil fertility. Post-mining activities in a forest area are mandatory to restore biodiversity, such as tree species of non-wood products.
