Variations and influencing factors of soil organic carbon during the tropical forest succession from plantation to secondary and old–growth forest

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionSoil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation changed with forest succession and hence impacted the SOC storage. However, the variation and underlying mechanisms about SOC during tropical forest succession are not fully understood.MethodsSoil ...

Alterations of ecosystem nitrogen status following agricultural land abandonment in the Karst Critical Zone Observatory (KCZO), Southwest China [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Background Secondary succession after agricultural land abandonment generally affects nitrogen (N) cycle processes and ecosystem N status. However, changes in soil N availability and NO3– loss potential following secondary succession are not well ...

Characteristics of the soil arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community along succession stages in tropical forest and its driving factors

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi play an important role in mediating plant-soil interactions across succession stages. However, AMF community dynamics which about the change of community composition and member activity remain unclear.

Changes in nitrogen and phosphorus availability driven by secondary succession in temperate forests shape soil fungal communities and function

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The soil fungal community plays an important role in forest ecosystems and is crucially influenced by forest secondary succession. However, the driving factors of fungal community and function during temperate forest succession and their potential impact

Characterizing Transitions between Successional Stages in a Tropical Dry Forest Using LiDAR Techniques

Remote Sensing, 2023
Secondary succession is defined as natural regeneration following complete forest clearance from anthropogenic or natural disturbances. Traditional strategies aimed to map and characterize secondary succession using remote sensing are usually based on ...

Trajectories in nitrogen availability during forest secondary succession: illustrated by foliar δ15N

Ecological Processes, 2022
Background Forest succession is an important ecological process and has been studied for more than a century. However, changes in nitrogen (N) availability during succession remain unclear as they may lead to either N saturation or N limitation. Here, we

Community assembly during secondary forest succession in a Chinese subtropical forest [PDF]

Ecological Monographs, 2011
Subtropical broad-leaved forests in southeastern China support a high diversity of woody plants. Using a comparative study design with 30330 m plots (n=27) from five successional stages (<20, <40, <60, <80, and ≤80 yr), we investigated how the gradient in species composition reflects underlying processes of community assembly. In particular,

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]

, 2011
Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and

Changes in rainfall interception along a secondary forest succession gradient in lowland Panama [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Secondary forests are rapidly expanding in tropical regions. Yet, despite the importance of understanding the hydrological consequences of land-cover dynamics, the relationship between forest succession and canopy interception is poorly understood.

Start, speed, and direction of secondary forest succession. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Succession is a foundational concept in ecology, describing changes in populations, communities, and ecosystems over time following a disturbance. Predicting successional pathways is challenging because of high spatiotemporal variability.
