Ant community structure during forest succession in a subtropical forest in South-East China

Abstract:
Understanding how communities respond to environmental gradients is critical to predict responses of species to changing habitat conditions such as in regenerating secondary habitats after human land use. In this study, ground-living ants were sam...

Mechanisms promoting tree species co-existence: Experimental evidence with saplings of subtropical forest ecosystems of China

Abstract:
Questions The maintenance of a diverse sapling pool is of particular importance for the regeneration and persistance of species-rich forest ecosystems. However, the mechanisms of co-existence of saplings have rarely been studied experimentally. D...

The influence of leaf litter diversity and soil fauna on initial soil erosion in subtropical forests

Abstract:
Soil erosion is one of the main environmental problems, especially in subtropical regions with monsoon climate. Afforestation is suggested to be an ecological solution for the loss of soil. Litter cover plays a major role in soil erosion processes...

Diversity of root-associated fungi of Vaccinium mandarinorum along a human disturbance gradient in subtropical forests, China

Abstract:
Ericaceous plant species can host diverse fungi in their roots, including ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (ERMF), endophytes, pathogens, and some species with unknown functions. However, how this diversity of symbiotic fungi responds to different human ...

Preservation of nucleic acids by freeze-drying for next generation sequencing analyses of soil microbial communities

Abstract:
Aims Soil sample preservation is a challenging aspect in molecular studies on soil microbial communities. The demands for specialized sample storage equipment, chemicals and standardized protocols for nucleic acid extraction often require sample ...

Site and neighborhood effects on growth of tree saplings in subtropical plantations (China)

Abstract:
Reforestation and afforestation often takes place in the form of monocultures. These have increasingly come under criticism due to their greater susceptibility to adverse environmental conditions and pathogens and because of the negative long-term...
