Forests play an important role in regional and global carbon (C) cycles. With extensive
afforestation and reforestation efforts over the last several decades, forests in E ast A sia …

With the rapid urbanization, many cities are facing various environmental issues, resulting in
local ecological degradation. It is critical to conduct a scientific assessment so that …

Forest plantations represent an important carbon sink. In the Pearl River Delta (PRD) in
Southern China, fast-growing Eucalyptus and Acacia are favoured plantation species, but …

Forest ecosystems act as a carbon sink and contribute to climate change mitigation.
Research on the spatiotemporal patterns of C storage and density in forest ecosystems is …

An accurate estimate of total forest carbon (C) stock and C uptake is crucial for predicting
global warming scenarios and planning CO2 emission reductions. Forest inventory, based …

Research about biodiversity–productivity relationships has focused on herbaceous
ecosystems, with results from tree field studies only recently beginning to emerge. Also, the …

Accurate prediction of net primary production (NPP) is very important to understanding
cycling of carbon, water, and nutrients as influenced by climate change. However, the …

Belowground carbon inputs, in particular rhizodeposition, are a key component of the global
carbon cycle and yet their accurate quantification remains a major challenge. In the present …

Water-soil-vegetation dynamic nexuses affect, and are affected by, both human activity and
climate change. Inappropriate land management practices can result in soil and vegetation …

Net primary production (NPP) is commonly used to measure productivity of steppe grasses
and has been extensively studied. However, NPP variations within an enclosed watershed …
