Species-specific relationships between net primary productivity and forest age for subtropical China [PDF]

Biogeosciences
The relationship between net primary productivity (NPP) and forest age varies among forest species, yet there were no available NPP–age relationships established for various forest species in subtropical China for use in forest carbon modeling.

Decomposing functional trait associations in a Chinese subtropical forest

PLOS ONE, 2017
Functional traits, properties of organisms correlated with ecological performance, play a central role in plant community assembly and functioning. To some extents, functional traits vary in concert, reflecting fundamental ecological strategies. While “trait syndromes” characteristic of e.g. fast-growing, early-successional vs.

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

High Tree Species Diversity Promotes Thermal Enhancement Response of Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Predicting soil carbon dynamics under warming is constrained by limited understanding of microbial thermal adaptation, particularly whether microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) can adapt to warming and how plant diversity modulates this response. Using soils from a natural tree species diversity gradient in a subtropical forest, we combined a

Lowland-ecotype switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) with moderate nitrogen enhances long-term productivity and ecosystem multifunctionality in acidic soils: A six-year field experiment

Industrial Crops and Products
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a promising bioenergy crop owing to high biomass production and ecological adaptability, but long-term evaluations of different ecotypes and nitrogen (N) rates on productivity and soil ecosystem functions are limited.

Impacts of tropical cyclones on hydrochemistry of a subtropical forest [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Abstract. Tropical cyclones (typhoons/hurricanes) have major impacts on the biogeochemistry of forest ecosystems, but the stochastic nature and the long intervals between storms means that there are limited data on their effects. We characterised the impacts of 14 typhoons over six years on hydrochemistry of a subtropical forest plantation in Taiwan, a

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...
