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 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.

Comparative Proteomic Analysis of the Graft Unions in Hickory (Carya cathayensis) Provides Insights into Response Mechanisms to Grafting Process

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Hickory (Carya cathayensis), a tree with high nutritional and economic value, is widely cultivated in China. Grafting greatly reduces the juvenile phase length and makes the large scale cultivation of hickory possible.

Feeding spectra and activity of the freshwater crab Trichodactylus kensleyi (Decapoda: Brachyura: Trichodactylidae) at La Plata basin [PDF]

, 2014
Background: In inland water systems, it is important to characterize the trophic links in order to identify the ‘trophic species’ and, from the studies of functional diversity, understand the dynamics of matter and energy in these environments.

Subtropical high-montane forest climate refuges in Brazil

Scientia Agricola, 2023
ABSTRACT Climate change represents one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity. We investigate how climate change will affect the future potential distribution of tree species in subtropical high montane habitats in the Atlantic Forest and identify potential climate refuges for these species.

Nest niche overlap among the endangered Vinaceous-breasted Parrot (Amazona vinacea) and sympatric cavity-using birds, mammals, and social insects in the subtropical Atlantic Forest, Argentina [PDF]

, 2017
Many forest bird species require tree cavities for nesting, and share this resource with a diverse community of animals. When cavities are limited, niche overlap can result in interspecific competition, with negative consequences for threatened ...

Comparative Biology of Temperate and Subtropical Bark and Ambrosia Beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae, Platypodidae) in Indiana and Florida [PDF]

, 2017
Bark and ambrosia beetles were compared from two intensively studied sites. The Indiana site produced 58 species, the Florida site 57 species; 17 species occurred at both sites. Much greater plant host diversity at the Indiana site seems balanced by more

Infection mechanism of Botryosphaeria dothidea and the disease resistance strategies of Chinese hickory (Carya cathayensis)

BMC Plant Biology
Botryosphaeria dothidea is the main fungal pathogen responsible for causing Chinese hickory (Carya cathayensis) dry rot disease, posing a serious threat to the Chinese hickory industry. Understanding the molecular basis of B.

Host plant diversity and potential habitat prediction of Korthalsella japonica (Thunb.) Engl. in Jeju Island, South Korea

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Background: Parasitic mistletoes infect a wide range of host plants, and when infestation density is high, they alter host resource allocation and canopy structure, thereby affecting ecosystem components including light regimes and understory vegetation.

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.
