Abstract The Janzen–Connell (J‐C) hypothesis suggests that specialised natural enemies
cause distance‐or density‐dependent mortality among host plants and is regarded as an …

**森林生物多样性监测网络(CForBio) 目前已经沿纬度梯度从寒温带到热带布设23
个大型森林动态样地, 监测1,893 种木本植物, 代表我国木本植物种类的**1/6. CForBio …

Tree seedling dynamics underpin subsequent forest structure and diversity as different
species/guilds respond variously to abiotic and biotic stresses. Thus, understanding …

Many aggressive plants possess high tolerance to heavy metals, but little is known about
their invasiveness at heavy metal polluted sites. We performed a greenhouse experiment to …

Tree mortality is an important process in forest dynamics, and potentially affects species
coexistence and community assembly. Detecting spatial pattern of tree mortality and …

Background & Aim: Since 2004, the Chinese Forest Biodiversity Monitoring Network
(CForBio) has established 23 large forest dynamics plots along a latitude gradient ranging …

Survival and growth of forest tree seedlings are influenced by many abiotic and biotic forces
that may vary across space and time. The simultaneous influences of habitat heterogeneity …

Anthropogenic-induced environmental changes threaten forest ecosystems by reducing
their biodiversity and adaptive capacity. Understanding the sensitivity of ecosystem function …

The tree growth and mortality trade-off is well documented and plays a key role in forests by
forming the basis of many ecosystem processes and contributing to tree species …

Factors that control individual survival dynamics are pivotal determinants of forest diversity.
Numerous studies have examined the relative importance of habitat variables and …
