Converting Chinese fir plantations into mixed stands: Effects of density on soil organic carbon mineralization and its temperature sensitivity

Trees, Forests and People
Converting monoculture plantations into mixed stands is a key strategy for enhancing soil carbon sequestration. The mechanisms behind soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover and its temperature response at different mixed densities are unclear.

Pollination ecology of the invasive tree tobacco Nicotiana glauca: comparisons across native and non-native ranges [PDF]

, 2012
Interactions with pollinators are thought to play a significant role in determining whether plant species become invasive, and ecologically generalised species are predicted to be more likely to invade than more specialised species.

Integrative analysis of small RNA and degradome sequencing reveals the role of miRNAs in monoterpene biosynthesis in linalool-type Cinnamomum camphora

BMC Plant Biology
Background Cinnamomum camphora is a valuable aromatic oil-producing species with significant economic and industrial importance. Linalool, a monoterpenoid compound and a major component of camphor leaf essential oil, is widely used in cosmetics, food ...

Environmental effects related to the local absence of exotic fish [PDF]

, 2009
Given the extent of biological invasions in industrialized countries, our understanding of the determinants of overall patterns of biological invasions could gain most from consideration of why exotic species are absent from some areas, rather than from ...

Impact scores of invasive plants are biased by disregard of environmental co-variation and non-linearity [PDF]

, 2011
Prioritisation of high-impact species is becoming increasingly important for management of introduced species (‘neobiota’) because of their growing number of which, however, only a small fraction has substantial impacts.

Increased stability of a subtropic bamboo forest soil bacterial communities through integration of water and fertilizer management compared to conventional management

BMC Plant Biology
Background Conventional management (CM), substantial fertilization and flooding irrigation, has led to soil acidification, the decrease in soil bacterial diversity in bamboo forests.

Integrated physiological unit (IPU) traits of Phyllostachys glauca McClure and their responses to habitat heterogeneity: Insights from 15N tracing

Advances in Bamboo Science
Running bamboo is a clonal plant group known for high utilization value and rapid range expansion. However, the integrated physiological unit (IPU), a fundamental physiological functional unit, remains poorly understood in running bamboo.
