Relationships between Soil Properties and Plant Species Diversity in Natural and Disturbed Ecosystems (Case Study: Jamilabad Region, Kerman Province, Iran)
Reduction of species diversity which is a significant threat to the earth has been found more important and has attracted attention among ecologists over recent years. This research was carried out to determine the relationships between plant species diversity indices and soil properties by multivariate regression methods in Jamilabad region, Baft, Kerman province, Iran in 2016. Different sites...
متن کاملTree Species Effects on Soil Properties in Experimental Plantations in Tropical Moist Forest
We resampled one of the earliest replicated experimental sites used to investigate the impacts of native tropical tree species on soil properties, to examine longer term effects to 1-m depth. The monodominant stands, established in abandoned pasture in 1988 at La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica, contained six species, including one exotic, Pinus patula ssp. tecunumanii (Eguiluz & J.P. Perr...
متن کاملThe inXuence of life form on carbon and nitrogen relationships in tropical rainforest ferns
Tropical ferns are characterized by a high diversity of plant life forms, yet there have been few largescale studies on the functional ecology of these diVerent forms. We examined epiphytic, hemiepiphytic, and terrestrial ferns, and asked whether there are diVerences in the mineral nutrition and water relations across diVerent growth forms of a diverse assemblage of species. We measured speciWc...
متن کاملLinks between tree species, symbiotic fungal diversity and ecosystem functioning in simplified tropical ecosystems.
We studied the relationships among plant and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal diversity, and their effects on ecosystem function, in a series of replicate tropical forestry plots in the La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. Forestry plots were 12 yr old and were either monocultures of three tree species, or polycultures of the tree species with two additional understory species. Relationsh...
متن کاملCarbon Exchange Among Tropical Coastal Ecosystems
Tropical rivers provide about 60% of the global transport of organic and inorganic carbon from continents to the coastal zone. These inputs combine with organic material from productive mangrove forests, seagrass beds, and coral reefs to make tropical coastal ecosystems important components in the global carbon cycle. Carbon exchange has been measured over multiple spatial scales, ranging from ...
