Long-term ecological monitoring has contributed substantially towards advancements in
theoretical and applied ecology. However, the costs to maintain a long-term monitoring site …

Aims With the aim of understanding why some of the world's forests exhibit higher tree beta
diversity values than others, we asked:(1) what is the contribution of environmentally related …

China harbors a rich variety of forest types and forest-associated biodiversity, linked to both
historical and contemporary environmental factors. However, being a country with a large …

Accurate classification of tree-species is essential for sustainably managing forest resources
and effectively monitoring species diversity. In this study, we used simultaneously acquired …

Global patterns of biodiversity reflect both regional and local processes, but the relative
importance of local ecological limits to species coexistence, as influenced by the physical …

Background Phyllosphere microbes play important roles in host plant performance and
fitness. Recent studies have suggested that tropical and temperate forests harbor diverse …

Understanding processes underlying spatial distribution of tree species is fundamental to
studying species coexistence and diversity. This study modeled point patterns of tree …

Understanding the spatial distribution of tree species in subtropical evergreen-deciduous
broadleaf karst forest is fundamental to studying species coexistence and karst species …

Abstract The potential of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) on expanding the horizon of
forest ecology has been realized, but this does not mean that the related interdisciplinary …

Studying spatial distributions of species can provide important insights into processes and
mechanisms that maintain species richness. We used the relative neighborhood density Ω …
