Differences in soil microbial communities with successional stage depend on vegetation coverage and soil substrates in alpine desert shrublands
Background and aimsIn semiarid ecosystems, changes in plant communities are promoted under shrub canopies during restoration, but the link between...
-
Community assembly along a successional chronosequence in the northern tropical karst mountains, South China
Background and aimsInsight for vegetation restoration in karst mountains could come from understanding the methods by which communities are built...
-
Xylem adjustment and growth response of early- and late-successional tree species to rapid warming
Climate changes have dramatically affected forest succession. However, how trees at different successional stages respond to climate warming is...

Changes in Soil Aggregates and Glomalin-Related Soil Protein Stability During the Successional Process of Boreal Forests
Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) is a widely distributed glycoprotein produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), plays a crucial role in...

Acadian forest resilience to clearcutting: implications for even-aged management in late-successional northern temperate forests
This study examines the recovery of late-successional forests in the Acadian Forest Region of northeastern North America after anthropogenic canopy...

Long-term monitoring confirms limitations of recruitment and facilitation and reveals unexpected changes of the successional pathways in a glacier foreland of the Central Austrian Alps
On a glacier foreland of the Central Austrian Alps, a permanent plot study was performed to investigate the successional pathway on two moraines. We...

Plant effects on microbiome composition are constrained by environmental conditions in a successional grassland
BackgroundBelow-ground microbes mediate key ecosystem processes and play a vital role in plant nutrition and health. Understanding the composition of...

Indigenous Successional Agroforestry: Integrating the Old and New to Address Food Insecurity and Deforestation
An interest in develo** successional agroforestry systems has emerged in response to a need for agricultural systems that conserve forests, offer...

Low temperature-mediated changes in soil free-living nitrogen fixation functional groups in tree species at different successional stages in subtropical forests
AimsLate-successional trees have a relatively high growth rate at low temperature, which is important for their competitive advantage over...

Effects of successional age, plot size, and tree size on the relationship between diversity and aboveground biomass in tropical dry forests
Depending on the strength of the relationship between biodiversity and aboveground biomass (AGB), diversity loss could lead to varied declines in...
-
The contribution of the phototrophic fraction in the fertility of different successional stages of induced biological soil crusts
Inoculation of cyanobacteria has been studied as a valuable approach to promote soil stabilization and fertilization and counteract the erosion of...
-
Conservation status of birds in habitats along a successional gradient from bare ground to forest
Ecological succession creates a sequence of habitat types after an initial disturbance. In Central Europe, these types typically include a gradient...
-
Leaving windthrown stands unsalvaged as a management practice for facilitating late-successional carabid assemblages
The usual practice following a windthrow event is salvage logging of all damaged trees. This study was carried out in a pine stand affected by storms...
-
Differences in the effects of broadleaf and coniferous trees on soil nematode communities and soil fertility across successional stages
PurposeSoil nematodes are among the most important fauna in soils and participate actively in soil ecological processes. However, whether and how...
-
Clear-cutting without additional regeneration treatments can trigger successional setbacks prolonging the expected time to compositional recovery in boreal forests
Clear-cutting is one of the most widespread forestry practices used in boreal forests. Clear-cutting of boreal forests in late successional stages...
-
Viral but not bacterial community successional patterns reflect extreme turnover shortly after rewetting dry soils
As central members of soil trophic networks, viruses have the potential to drive substantial microbial mortality and nutrient turnover. Pinpointing...
-
Canopy development influences early successional stream ecosystem function but not biotic assemblages
Determining how streams develop naturally, particularly the ecological role of newly developed riparian canopy cover, is essential to understanding...
-
Quantifying functional trait assembly along a temperate successional gradient with consideration of intraspecific variations and functional groups
Advances in functional trait ecology allow us to evaluate community structure and community assembly in a more quantitative and generalised manner....
-
Allometric relationships of tropical trees along a successional gradient
Key messageThe allometric relationships of tropical trees change along ontogeny and ecological succession at the level of populations and...

Non-structural carbohydrate concentrations in contrasting dry and wet years in early- and late-successional boreal forest trees
Key messagePatterns of non-structural carbohydrate allocation in dry and wet differ between birch and larch in southern boreal forest.
