    Climate change effects in the Western Himalayan ecosystems of India : evidence and strategies 

    Tewari, Vindhya Prasad; Verma, Raj Kumar; Von Gadow, Klaus (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 

    Yan, Yan; Zhang, Chunyu; Wang, Yuxi; Zhao, Xiuhai; Von Gadow, Klaus (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 

    Gorgoso-Varela, Jose J.; Garcia-Villabrille, Juan Daniel; Rojo-Alboreca, Alberto; Von Gadow, Klaus; Alvarez-Gonzalez, Juan Gabriel (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 

    Fan, Chunyu; Tan, Lingzhao; Zhang, Chunyu; Von Gadow, Klaus (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 

    Tan, Lingzhao; Fan, Chunyu; Zhang, Chunyu; Von Gadow, Klaus; Fan, Xiuhua (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 

    Yao, Jie; Zhang, Xinna; Zhang, Chunyu; Zhao, Xiuhai; Von Gadow, Klaus (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 ...

    Soil elements influencing community structure in an old-growth forest in Northeastern China 

    Xu, Wei; Hao, Minhui; Wang, Juan; Zhang, Chunyu; Zhao, Xiuhai; Von Gadow, Klaus (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 

    Hao, Minhui; Corral-Rivas, J. J.; Gonzalez-Elizondo, M. S.; Ganeshaiah, K. N.; Nava-Miranda, M. G.; Zhang, Chunyu; Zhao, Xiuhai; Von Gadow, Klaus (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 

    Hao, MinHui; Zhang, Chunyu; Zhao, Xiuhai; Von Gadow, Klaus (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 ...
