Diversity patterns of ground beetles and understorey vegetation in mature, secondary and plantation forest regions of temperate Northern China [PDF]

, 2015
Plantation and secondary forests form increasingly important components of the global forest cover, but our current knowledge about their potential contribution to biodiversity conservation is limited.

How a measure of tree structural complexity relates to architectural benefit‐to‐cost ratio, light availability, and growth of trees

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Aboveground tree architecture is neither fully deterministic nor random. It is likely the result of mechanisms that balance static requirements and light‐capturing efficiency.

Urbanization and fragmentation mediate temperate forest carbon cycle response to climate

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Forest fragmentation is ubiquitous across urban and rural areas. While there is mounting evidence that forest fragmentation alters the terrestrial carbon cycle, the extent to which differences in ambient growing conditions between urban and rural ...

Global patterns and climatic controls of forest structural complexity

Nature Communications, 2021
Forest structure depends both on extrinsic factors such as climate and on intrinsic properties such as community composition and diversity. Here, the authors use a dataset of stand structural complexity based on LiDAR measurements to build a global map ...

The functional role of temperate forest understorey vegetation in a changing world

Global Change Biology, 2019
Temperate forests cover 16% of the global forest area. Within these forests, the understorey is an important biodiversity reservoir that can influence ecosystem processes and functions in multiple ways.

Long-term effects of gap creation and liming on understory vegetation with a focus on tree regeneration in a European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest

Annals of Forest Research, 2014
The long-term effects of gap creation and liming on tree regeneration and understory competition were examined in a mature European beech (Fagus sylvatica) stand on a nutrient-poor site.

What does literature tell us about the relationship between forest structural attributes and species richness in temperate forests? – A review

Ecological Indicators, 2023
The effects of forest management on species richness and diversity have become important research interests. The need to maintain biodiversity for forest ecosystem functioning has led to the question of how strongly and in what ways forest management ...

Interactions between carbon and nitrogen dynamics in estimating net primary productivity for potential vegetation in North America [PDF]

, 1992
We use the terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM), a process-based model, to investigate how interactions between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics affect predictions of net primary productivity (NPP) for potential vegetation in North America. Data on pool

Growth, morphology, and biomass allocation of recently planted seedlings of seven European tree species along a light gradient

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020
Light is one of the most critical factors controlling tree survival and growth. Limited light availability induces phenotypic plasticity, thus enabling plants to adapt to suboptimal conditions.

Erysiphe magnoliicola Comprises the Powdery Mildew Found on Magnolia kobus in Korea

한국균학회지, 2022
The powdery mildew found on Magnolia kobus was recorded as Microsphaera alni for the first time in Korea in 1975. After splitting M. alni into several distinct species, this mildew was regarded as Microsphaera magnifica, now Erysiphe magnifica.
