Towards quantification of the water fooptprint of paper: a first estimate of its consumptive component [PDF]
For a hardcopy of this article, printed in the Netherlands, an estimated 100 l of water have been used. Most of the water is required in the forestry stage, due to evapotranspiration (green and blue water).

Novosphingobium silvae sp. nov., isolated from subtropical forest soil
A novel bacterial strain, designated FGD1T, was isolated from subtropical forest soil of the Nanling National Forest Park located in Guangdong Province, P.R. China. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain FGD1T was most closely related to Novosphingobium lindaniclasticum

Elevational variation in density dependence in a subtropical forest [PDF]
AbstractDensity‐dependent mortality has been recognized as an important mechanism that underpins tree species diversity, especially in tropical forests. However, few studies have attempted to explore how density dependence varies with spatial scale and even fewer have attempted to identify why there is scale‐dependent differentiation. In this study, we

Community assembly during secondary forest succession in a Chinese subtropical forest [PDF]
Subtropical broad-leaved forests in southeastern China support a high diversity of woody plants. Using a comparative study design with 30 × 30 m plots (n = 27) from five successional stages ( 1 m in height in each plot and counted all woody recruits (bank of all seedlings ≤1 m in height) in each central 10 × 10 m quadrant of each plot.
