Snags are highly important for many wildlife species and ecological processes. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between snags topographic factors in a secondary forest plot South China. Data on 544 were collected recorded from 236 subplots permanent (400 subplots). The frequency of Castanopsis carlesii Schima superba was higher than that other species. derived mostly saplings small t...

Pollen grains are regularly used as markers to determine an insect's movement patterns or host (plant) feeding behavior, yet conventional morphology-based pollen grain analysis (or palynology) encounters a number of important limitations. In the present study, we combine conventional analytical approaches with DNA meta-barcoding to identify pollen grains attached to migrating adults of the turn...

The genus Montenegrina is revised on the basis of material available at the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest), Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (Vienna), and the Naturmuseum Senckenberg (Frankfurt am Main), as well as newly discovered populations. The following new taxa are described: Montenegrina haringae sp. n., Montenegrina lillae sp. n., Montenegrina prokletiana sp. n., Montenegrina ...

Coarse wood debris (CWD) plays a critical role in forest productivity, nutrient cycling, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, shapes the pool ecosystem. However, elemental composition of CWD varies among different types decay classes for same dominant tree species (Pinus koraiensis, PK). We compared across (Picea koraiensis-Abies nephrolepis-Pinus koraiensis (PAPF), Betula costata-Pinus (BP...

We selected six tree species, Pinus massoniana Lamb., Cryptomeria fortunei Hooibr. ex Otto et Dietr., Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook., Liquidambar formosana Hance, Pinus armandii Franch. and Castanopsis chinensis Hance, which are widely distributed as dominant species in the forest of southern China where acid deposition is becoming more and more serious in recent years. We investigated t...
