Abstract:
... Forest trees of many species are able to recover from logging and other severe disturbances by resprouting. Due to rapid growth, sprouts often form a significant part of forest regeneration and are also a key component of coppice forests. However, there is a large variation in both resprouting success and sprout growth whose drivers are still poorly understood in forest trees. Here, we test the hy ...

The results show that the C contents, C:N and C:P ratios of dominant species in the karst forest were lower than those in the non-karst forest, but the N and P and the N:P ratio were higher; C:N:P ratios in pla ...

Abstract:
... Climate is widely recognised as an important determinant of the latitudinal diversity gradient. However, most existing studies make no distinction between direct and indirect effects of climate, which substantially hinders our understanding of how climate constrains biodiversity globally. Using data from 35 large forest plots, we test hypothesised relationships amongst climate, topography, forest ...

Abstract:
... Reproduction, one of the main components of plant fitness, is highly variable in response to environmental cues, but little is known about the genetic determinism underlying reproduction-related traits in forest tree species. There is therefore an urgent need to characterize the genetic architecture of those traits if we are to predict the evolutionary trajectories of forest populations facing rap ...

Abstract:
... The emergent properties of the collection of species in a natural community, such as diversity and the distribution of relative abundances, are influenced by both niche‐based and neutral (stochastic) processes. This pluralistic view of the natural world reconciles theory with empirical observations better than does either a strictly niche‐ or neutrality‐based perspective. Even so, rules (or rules ...

Environmental filtering and dispersal limitation can both maintain diversity in plant communities by aggregating conspecifics, but parsing the contribution of each process has proven difficult empirically.

Abstract:
... Adventitious root formation is a process in which roots are induced, from determined or differentiated cells that have not been specified to develop a root, at positions where they do not normally occur during development. In forest tree species, a decline in the capacity to form adventitious roots from similar cell types in stem cuttings is associated with tree age and maturity. This decline limi ...

Yet, while previous studies clearly showed a high drought sensitivity of different temperate tree species, the vulnerability of the physiological integrity of these trees remains unclear. Here, we assessed the sensitivity of six temperate t ...

Abstract:
... Understanding intraspecific variation in the vulnerability of the xylem to hydraulic failure during drought is critical in predicting the response of forest tree species to climate change. However, few studies have assessed intraspecific variation in this trait, and a likely limitation is the large number of measurements required to generate the standard ‘vulnerability curve’ used to assess hydrau ...
