Biodiversity and climate determine the functioning of neotropical forests. (2017, background): “…diversity on productivity (Barrufol et al., 2013; van der Sande, Pe~na-Claros et al., 2017, during succession), whereas other studies did not (Prado-Junior et al., 2016; van der Sande, Arets et al., 2017), perhaps because the range in diversity is smaller within forest sites (van der Sande,…”
Above‐ and below‐ground biodiversity jointly regulate temperate forest multifunctionality along a local‐scale environmental gradient (2020, background): “For example, in alluvial valleys or nutrient-rich soils, forests are structured by strong competition for light, and hence, develop more structurally complex and dense canopies while also leading to higher productivity and turnover rates (Coomes et al., 2009; Prado-Junior et al., 2016).”
Stand structural diversity rather than species diversity enhancesaboveground carbon storage in secondary subtropical forests in Eastern China (2016, methodology): “Alternatively, the dominance of productive species has a potent effect on aboveground biomass or C storage (Cardinale et al., 2011; Lasky et al., 2014; Prado-Junior et al., 2016; Tobner et al., 2016).”
Aboveground carbon storage is driven by functional trait composition and stand structural attributes rather than biodiversity in temperate mixed forests recovering from disturbances (2018, background): “The strong positive effect of functional composition on aboveground C storage is consistent with recent several findings that aboveground biomass or productivity is driven by the trait(s) of dominant species in early successional stages of forests or young forests (Kröber et al. 2015; Lin et al. 201”
