Is forest diversity driving ecosystem function and service (2010, methodology): “The following literature was used: biota community property: [14,15 ,16–23,27 ,29], resistance to herbivory [25,26,27 ,28,29], invasion resistance [24], production [30,32 ,33,34 ,35,40,43], survival [32 ,34 ,40] recruitment [25,40], litter production [31,44], root biomass [22,45], soil C [46], eleme”
Ash dieback in the UK: A review of the ecological and conservation implications and potential management options (2014, background): “These dynamics result in more rapid nutrient flows and rates of recycling through the tree-soil system than occurs with other tree species (Oostra et al., 2006; Vesterdal et al., 2008; Jacob et al., 2009).”
Driving factors behind the eutrophication signal in understorey plant communities of deciduous temperate forests (2012, background): “…canopy cover and change inmanagement system, the litter generally also became more decomposable over the years due to the increasing importance of species with good lit- ter quality such as Fraxinus excelsior, A. pseudoplatanus and C. betulus (cf. Jacob et al. 2009) in the studied forests.”
Seasonal differences in tree species influence on soil microbial communities (2013, background): “The leaf litter of Fagus comprises lower initial nutrient concentrations of Ca, Mg, N and P than the leaf litter of Fraxinus, Tilia, Carpinus and Acer (Jacob et al., 2009).”
