Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in naturally assembled communities
F van der Plas - Biological Reviews, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Approximately 25 years ago, ecologists became increasingly interested in the question of
whether ongoing biodiversity loss matters for the functioning of ecosystems. As such, a new …

Effects of stand age, richness and density on productivity in subtropical forests in China
Forest productivity may be determined not only by biodiversity but also by environmental
factors and stand structure attributes. However, the relative importance of these factors in …

A novel entropy-based method to quantify forest canopy structural complexity from multiplatform lidar point clouds
Forest canopy structural complexity (CSC) describes the three-dimensional (3D)
arrangement of canopy elements, and has become an emergent forest attribute mediating …

Climate and soils determine aboveground biomass indirectly via species diversity and stand structural complexity in tropical forests
Theoretical and empirical studies have suggested that climate and soils are the main drivers
of biodiversity, stand structure and aboveground biomass in natural forests. Yet, the direct …

Divergent above‐and below‐ground biodiversity pathways mediate disturbance impacts on temperate forest multifunctionality
Biodiversity plays a fundamental role in provisioning and regulating forest ecosystem
functions and services. Above‐ground (plants) and below‐ground (soil microbes) …

Stand structure determines aboveground biomass across temperate forest types and species mixture along a local-scale elevational gradient
Greater variation in stand structure (ie, individual tree size variation and stand density) is
thought to promote aboveground biomass (AGB) better than species richness due to the …

Temporal changes in Mediterranean forest ecosystem services are driven by stand development, rather than by climate-related disturbances
Abstract The Mediterranean Region constitutes a biodiversity hotspot and its forests have
provided multiple ecosystem services (ES) to human societies for millennia. In the last …

Topography and forest diversity facets regulate overstory and understory aboveground biomass in a temperate forest of South Korea
Diversity-biomass studies across (sub-) tropical forest strata have been explored, but our
understanding on how multiple facets of forest diversity and abiotic factors regulate …
