Species patterns and diversity in the subtropical rain forest [PDF]

, 2023
Rain forest is characterized by its structural complexity floristic richness, and the equity of distribution of the available resources amongst the species. It is suggested that our understanding of the dynamics of rain forest and the success or otherwise of our attempts to utilize, manage, and even reconstruct the resources which rain forests offer ...

Drivers of tree carbon storage in subtropical forests

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
Tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems play an important role in the global carbon regulation. Despite increasing evidence for effects of biodiversity (species diversity, functional diversity and functional dominance), stand structural attributes, stand age and environmental conditions (climate and topography) on tree carbon storage, the relative ...

Subtropical Dry Forests: The Main Forest Ecoregion of Argentina

2020
The Chaco is a sparsely populated, wooded grassland natural region of the Rio de la Plata basin, where four physiognomic regions can be identified: Humid Chaco, Semi-arid Chaco, Arid Chaco, and Chaco Serrano. In this introduction to the section of subtropical dry forests, the most relevant tree genera and species are presented. A severe degradation and

Carbon Economy of Subtropical Forests

2016
Compared to tropical and temperate forests, subtropical forests have received little attention in physiological and ecological studies until now, and the contribution of this ecosystem type to the global carbon cycle has not been fully assessed. In this chapter we discuss results on the carbon balance of subtropical forests at different spatial and ...

Secondary succession in two subtropical forests

Plant Ecology, 1999
We studied secondary succession in two subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests near Shanghai, China that had been harvested 2–60 years earlier. Shrubs were thinned in one of the forests to about 60% of their original density for the first 20 years after harvesting. The other was not disturbed after harvesting. Five stands were sampled in each forest.

Typhoon effects on litterfall in a subtropical forest

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2003
The litterfall in a subtropical broadleaf forest within the Fushan Experimental Forest in northeastern Taiwan was monitored for 9 years. Mean annual litterfall was very sensitive to typhoon frequency and intensity, ranging from 3 to 11 Mg·ha–1·year–1. Litterfall was significantly higher in years with strong typhoons than in years without typhoons, and

Carbon dynamics in three subtropical forest ecosystems in China

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020
The carbon sequestration capacity of the forest ecosystem normally increases overage due to the carbon dynamic in below canopy and soil. The carbon dynamic is reflective of the forest characteristics and their interactions with climate, topographic, and soil conditions.

Ecosystem Dynamics of a Subtropical Floodplain Forest

Ecological Monographs, 1985
The carbon, phosphorus, and water cycles of a subtropical floodplain forest, and related ecosystem characteristics, were studied. Located at 750 m elevation in Puerto Rico (latitude 18°N) the forest had 27 tree species, 3059 stems/ha, a basal area of 42.4 m2/ha, maximum height of 17 m, and a leaf area index of 3.3. Palm (Prestoea montana) dominated the

Tropical and subtropical forests

1985
A significant amount of information has accumulated over the last century on the ecology of tropical and subtropical forests (Golley, 1983a; Golley and Medina,1975; Richards,1952; Walter, 1971). However, as pointed out recently by Mooney et al. (1980), very little information is available on the physiological ecology of tropical and subtropical plants.

Proximate cues of flowering in a subtropical rain forest

Biotropica, 2023
AbstractPlants have evolved mechanisms to track seasonal variation in environmental resources, enabling them to time key life‐history events to appropriate seasons. While the proximate cues for flowering initiation are well documented in the temperate region, it is still unclear what the flowering cues are in the tropics, especially in the subtropics ...
