Long-Term Forest Conversion Affects Soil Stability and Humic Substances in Aggregate Fractions in Subtropical China

, 2022
Soil aggregates are the basic structural components of soil, which are important factors that can predict erosion resistance. However, few researchers have investigated the effects of forest conversion on the stability of soil aggregates, particularly in

Habitat Conditions and Tree Species Shape Liana Distribution in a Subtropical Forest

, 2022
Lianas are woody plants that require external support to reach the canopy. They are expanding in forests worldwide, possibly due to climate change and forest disturbance. Most studies on lianas have been conducted in tropical forests.

Forest Type and Tree Characteristics Determine the Vertical Distribution of Epiphytic Lichen Biomass in Subtropical Forests

, 2017
Epiphytic lichens are an important component in subtropical forests and contribute greatly to forest biodiversity and biomass. However, information on epiphytic lichens still remains scarce in forest conservation owing to the difficulty of accessing all ...

Comparative analysis of spatial variation in forest fire drivers between boreal and subtropical ecosystems in China

, 2019
Drivers of forest fire are complex and may spatially vary between different ecosystems; thus their identification is critical for the development of effective fire management strategies.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Control Soil Methane Uptake in Tropical Montane Forests

, 2021
Tropical forests contribute about one third to global annual CH4 uptake by soils. Understanding the factors that control the soil‐atmosphere exchange of CH4 at a large scale is a critical step to improve the CH4 flux estimate for tropical soils, which is

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.

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 ...
