Woody species diversity in forest plantations in a mountainous region of Beijing, China: effects of sampling scale and species selection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The role of forest plantations in biodiversity conservation has gained more attention in recent years. However, most work on evaluating the diversity of forest plantations focuses only on one spatial scale; thus, we examined the effects of sampling scale

Mitigation strategies for conserving bird diversity under climate change scenarios in Europe: The role of forest naturalization. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
There are many possible strategies to promote naturalization in anthropogenic landscapes to mitigate global change effects. We combined large-scale databases available for continental Spain on: (1) distribution of breeding birds, (2) forest inventory ...

Climate factors dominate the spatial variation of forest soil nutrients: a meta analysis

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
The management mode of forests has significant impacts on soil nutrients. However, with global changes, there is scant evidence to suggest whether the soil nutrients in planted and natural forests have a consistent response mechanism to environmental ...

Forest Insect—Plant Interactions

, 2023
AbstractInsects and plants dominate terrestrial ecosystems in terms of both species numbers and biomass. Ecological relationships between insects and plants are ubiquitous and insect-plant interactions are important for ecosystem structuring and functioning.
