Functional traits and tree demographic properties: a case study in subtropical monsoon forests

Influencing species fitness , species diversity and carbon sequestration .Ability to avoid wilting during drought ) was unrelated to plant demography .Plant functional traits and plant demographic properties .Forest gaps and defoliation caused by Typhoon Mangkhut in Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve ( credit ： Qianmei Zhang ). Functional traits are plant attributes that can reflect plant life-history processes such as carbon acquisition, water transport and nutrient cycling, and include features associated with plant physiology, morphology and phenology. Plant demographic properties such as growth, mortality and recruitment are fundamental processes influencing specie...

New research progress on the genomic consequences of mating system shifts in Primulina

The evolution of selfing from outcrossing has occurred frequently and has been recognized as one of the most common evolutionary transitions in flowering plants .And highlight the importance of distinguishing the relative contribution of mating system and demography on the genomic consequences associated with mating system evolution .Relaxed pur... The evolution of selfing from outcrossing has occurred frequently and has been recognized as one of the most common evolutionary transitions in flowering plants. Shifts to selfing from outcrossing are expected to produce a series of predictable genomic changes, but empirical evidence of genome selfing syndrome is very few explored.
　　The genus...

Carbon flux variation and associated biomass energy storage economic value implications in the Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve

Carbon as possible while keeping with its economic growth targets .The Dinghushan Forest Ecosystem Research Station , South China Botanical Garden , Chinese Academy of Sciences , Guangzhou , conducted a 3 - year study at the.This diagram shows the subtropical forests and the Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve as our main study site .
　　In September 2020, China’s president, Xi Jinping, announced the nation’s CO2 emissions would peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality would be achieved by 2060, in what has been termed a “double carbon policy.” In order to achieve this ambitious goal, China will have to use all the resources at its disposal to reduce and sequester as much...

Fig. 2 Structure of emergy-based inputs, emissions, and biotic impacts of the four telecoupling scenarios.

Because ammonia is a renewable energy medium appropriate for distant trading , many countries/regions and companies have already formulated ambitious strategies in developing green ammonia for energy transitions .An life cycle assessment and emergy evaluation ( LCA-EME ) method was brought up , and applied to quantify the resource depletion , pr... Because ammonia is a renewable energy medium appropriate for distant trading, many countries/regions and companies have already formulated ambitious strategies in developing green ammonia for energy transitions. However, the associated social, economic and environmental impacts of such energy transitions are still a mystery, due to the lack of i...

Nitrogen budgets of a lower subtropical forest as affected by 6 years of over-canopy and understory nitrogen additions

Although tropical and subtropical regions have replaced temperate regions as the global-change hotspots for increased atmosphere nitrogen ( N ) deposition , whether the regional forests reach N saturation is still unclear .The research group of Vegetation and Landscape Ecology from South China Botanical Garden conducted a field experiment to qua... Although tropical and subtropical regions have replaced temperate regions as the global-change hotspots for increased atmosphere nitrogen (N) deposition, whether the regional forests reach N saturation is still unclear. Understory or floor N addition has been commonly used in N-deposition studies, but the results of such studies have recently be...
