Plant diversity and soil stoichiometry regulates the changes in multifunctionality during pine temperate forest secondary succession
ME Lucas-Borja, M Delgado-Baquerizo - Science of the Total Environment, 2019 - Elsevier
The shift in ecosystem multifunctionality during ecosystem succession (years to decades)
remains largely unexplored. In this study, we used a 120-year-old pine temperate forest …

Complementarity in nurse plant systems: soil drives community composition while microclimate enhances productivity and diversity
Aims Nurse plants facilitate the establishment of other species under their canopies through
improvement of microclimate and soil conditions beneath their canopies. We aimed to test …

Early emergence increases survival of tree seedlings in Central European temperate forests despite severe late frost
Global warming is expected to result in earlier emergence of tree seedlings that may
experience higher damages and mortality due to late frost in spring. We monitored …
