A standardized rapid inventory method providing information on both tree species diversity
and aboveground carbon stocks in tropical forests will be an important tool for evaluating …

A trade‐off between growth and mortality rates characterizes tree species in closed canopy
forests. This trade‐off is maintained by inherent differences among species and spatial …

Carbon storage in vegetation and soil underpins climate regulation through carbon
sequestration. Because plant species differ in their ability to capture, store and release …

Elevation gradients in tropical forests have been studied but the analysis of patterns
displayed by species richness and elevation have received little attention. We examined …

There is increasing evidence that mixed‐species forests can provide multiple ecosystem
services at a higher level than their monospecific counterparts. However, most studies …

Subtropical forests certainly contribute to terrestrial global carbon storage, but we have
limited understanding about the relative amounts and of the drivers of above-ground …

Understanding the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem productivity has
become a central issue in ecology and conservation biology studies, particularly when these …

Understanding the effects of tree species diversity on biomass and production of forests is
fundamental for carbon sequestration strategies, particularly in the perspective of the current …

Subtropical forests across south China have been extensively affected by anthropogenic
disturbances with potential profound effects on plant biodiversity and ecosystem function …

Recent debate about the fate of tropical forests has focused attention on the consequences
of forest degradation and fragmentation for their diversity and composition, and the likely …
