Disentangling the Key Drivers of Ecosystem Water-Use Efficiency in China’s Subtropical Forests Using an Improved Remote-Sensing-Driven Analytical Model

Remote Sensing, 2023
The subtropical forests in China play a pivotal part in the global and regional carbon–water cycle and in regulating the climate. Ecosystem water-use efficiency (WUE) is a crucial index for understanding the trade-off between ecosystem carbon gain and ...

SUBTROPICAL FOREST BIOMASS ESTIMATION USING AIRBORNE LiDAR AND HYPERSPECTRAL DATA [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Forests have complex vertical structure and spatial mosaic pattern. Subtropical forest ecosystem consists of vast vegetation species and these species are always in a dynamic succession stages.

The 2010 spring drought reduced primary productivity in southwestern China [PDF]

, 2012
Many parts of the world experience frequent and severe droughts. Summer drought can significantly reduce primary productivity and carbon sequestration capacity. The impacts of spring droughts, however, have received much less attention.

Tree species richness increases ecosystem carbon storage in subtropical forests [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018
Forest ecosystems are an integral component of the global carbon cycle as they take up and release large amounts of C over short time periods (C flux) or accumulate it over longer time periods (C stock). However, there remains uncertainty about whether and in which direction C fluxes and in particular C stocks may differ between forests of

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

Topography and structural diversity regulate ecosystem multifunctionality in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Forest functionality is generally considered a byproduct of forest diversity. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many researchers associate increasing multi-functionality with increasing diversity.
