Tree diversity reduces pest damage in mature forests across Europe
Forest pest damage is expected to increase with global change. Tree diversity could mitigate this impact, but unambiguous demonstration of the diversity-resistance relationship is lacking in semi-natural mature forests. We used a network of 208 forest plots sampled along two orthogonal gradients of increasing tree species richness and latitudes to assess total tree defoliation in Europe. We fou...
متن کاملAltitudinal Patterns of Species Diversity and Phylogenetic Diversity across Temperate Mountain Forests of Northern China
The spatial patterns of biodiversity and their underlying mechanisms have been an active area of research for a long time. In this study, a total of 63 samples (20m × 30m) were systematically established along elevation gradients on Mount Tai and Mount Lao, China. We explored altitudinal patterns of plant diversity in the two mountain systems. In order to understand the mechanisms driving curre...
متن کاملInference of Pathway Decomposition Across Multiple Species Through Gene Clustering
In the wake of gene-oriented data analysis in large-scale bioinformatics studies, focus in research is currently shifting towards the analysis of the functional association of genes, namely the metabolic pathways in which genes participate. The goal of this paper is to attempt to identify the core genes in a specific pathway, based on a user-defined selection of genomes. To this end, a novel al...
متن کاملDoes biodiversity make a difference? Relationships between species richness, evolutionary diversity, and aboveground live tree biomass across U.S. forests
Biodiversity conveys numerous functional benefits to forested ecosystems, including community stability and resilience. In the context of managing forests for climate change mitigation/adaptation, maximizing and/or maintaining aboveground biomass will require understanding the interactions between tree biodiversity , site productivity, and the stocking of live trees. Species richness may not be...
متن کاملfrequencies evaluation in estimation of tree species diversity in degraded forests case study: kouhmian forests, azadshahr, golestan province
aim of this research was evaluated and compared of density (number tree per hectare), basal area and volume characteristics for estimation of tree species diversity in degraded forests. in order to, 73 hectares of kouhmian forests was inventory based on random systematic pattern with circular plots (10r and 26 plots). in each plot species, dbh and number of tree were measured and recorded. to e...
