The main species composition drivers in temperate deciduous forests are environmental conditions, a stand?s age and the site history, e.g., the succession stage and past land use, as well as disturbance regime and cur...

Aims Positive biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships have been widely reported,predominately from grassland ecosystems.However,this does not necessarily have to apply accordingly in more complex situations s...

Aims Given the key functional role of understorey plant communities and the substantial extent of forest cover at the global scale,investigating understorey community responses to elevated CO_(2)(eCO_(2))concentration...
the framework of the FunDivEUROPE project and has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme(FP7/2007–2013)under grant agreement n°265171.Dries Landuyt was supported by a postdoctoral fellowship of the Research Foundation-Flanders(FWO).Kris Verheyen was supported by the ERC Consolidator Grant 614839 that is linked with the project PASTFORWARD.
Background:In contrast with the negligible contribution of the forest understorey to the total aboveground phytobiomass of a forest,its share in annual litter production and nutrient cycling may be more important.Whet...

Aims Plants control leaf phenology to maximize annual photosynthetic product.Although ferns play an important ecological role in many habitats,especially forests,their phenology traits have been poorly studied.Here,we...
Aims Habitat loss and fragmentation are the leading causes of global biodiversity decline.How fragmentation(leading to edge effects,increased isolation and declining habitat size)interacts with top-down processes like...
Identifying the factor causing species decline from a multitude of potential disturbances is essential for successful management. Invasive species are often drivers of decline, either through direct effects such as re...
Background:Stands having advance regeneration of spruce are logical places to start continuous cover forestry(CCF) in fertile and mesic boreal forests.However,the development of advance regeneration is poorly known.Me...
