Climate change effects in the Western Himalayan ecosystems of India : evidence and strategies
(SpringerOpen, 2017)
Background: The fragile landscapes of the Himalayan region are highly susceptible to natural hazards, and there
is ongoing concern about current and potential climate change impacts. This study provides background
information ...
Drivers of seedling survival in a temperate forest and their relative importance at three stages of succession
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015-09-10)
Negative density dependence (NDD) and niche partitioning have been perceived as important mechanisms for the maintenance of species diversity. However, little is known about their relative contributions to seedling survival. ...
Comparing Johnson’s SBB, Weibull and Logit-Logistic bivariate distributions for modeling tree diameters and heights using copulas
(Instituto Nacional de Investigacion y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2016-04)
Aim of study: In this study we compare the accuracy of three bivariate distributions: Johnson’s SBB, Weibull-2P and LL-2P functions for characterizing the joint distribution of tree diameters and heights.
Area of study: ...
Analysing taxonomic structures and local ecological processes in temperate forests in North Eastern China
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Background: One of the core issues of forest community ecology is the exploration of how ecological processes
affect community structure. The relative importance of different processes is still under debate. This study ...
How beta diversity and the underlying causes vary with sampling scales in the Changbai mountain forests
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017-10)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study aims to establish a relationship between the sampling scale and tree species
beta diversity temperate forests and to identify the underlying causes of beta diversity
at different sampling ...
Effects of density dependence in a temperate forest in northeastern China
(Springer Nature, 2016-09-08)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Negative density dependence may cause reduced clustering among individuals of the same species, and evidence is accumulating that conspecific density-dependent self-thinning is an important mechanism ...
Stoichiometry patterns in the androdioecious Acer tegmentosum
(Springer Nature, 2016-10-11)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study evaluates stoichiometry patterns in the androdioecious Acer tegmentosum, a species characterized by a rare reproductive system where males and hermaphrodites coexist. Altogether 31 hermaphrodites ...
Soil elements influencing community structure in an old-growth forest in Northeastern China
(MDPI, 2016)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study uses detailed soil and vegetation data collected in a 30-ha old-growth broad-leaved Korean pine forest to study the effect of soil properties on tree community structures. Spatial distribution ...
Assessing biological dissimilarities between five forest communities
(SpringerOpen (part of Springer Nature), 2019-06-06)
Background: Dissimilarity in community composition is one of the most fundamental and conspicuous features by
which different forest ecosystems may be distinguished. Traditional estimates of community dissimilarity are ...
Functional and phylogenetic diversity determine woody productivity in a temperate forest
(Wiley Open Access, 2018)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Understanding the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem productivity has become a central issue in ecology and conservation biology studies, particularly when these relationships are connected ...
