2016-08-18Dinghushan Displacement Experiment Platforms Make ProgressSubtropical ecosystems are receiving unprecedented changes in temperature as consequence of anthropogenic activities, which potentially affects soil respiration (Rs) and carbon (C) sequestration. Due to the large amounts of C store and cycle in subtropical forests, investigations about how Rs and C sequestration respond to warming will be critic...Read More

2016-07-20Significant drought trends were detected in eastern ChinaOver the past few decades, several national-scale agricultural droughts have occurred in China. Research suggests that this kind of extreme droughts is expected to become more frequent and more severe in the future as a result of anthropogenic climate change. However, the causes of drought at the regional scale are not well understood and deserv...Read More

2016-07-14The Contribution of Carbon and Water in Modulating Wood Formation in Black Spruce SaplingsNonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) play a crucial role in xylem formation and represent, with water, the main constraint toplant growth.Read More
Prof. HUANG Jianguo and his cooperators assessed the relationships between xylogenesis and NSCs in order to verify the variance explained by NSCs and determine the influence of intrinsic (tissue supplying c... -
2016-06-22Soil buffering capacity to acid deposition in subtropical forestsElevated anthropogenic acid deposition can significantly affect forest ecosystem functioning by changing soil pH, nutrient balance, and chemical leaching and so on. These effects generally differ among different forests, and the mechanisms for those observed responses often vary, depending on climate, soil conditions and vegetation types. Howeve...Read More

2015-12-25Plant Physiological Ecology of Ferns in Subtropical ForestsAs important components of tropical and subtropical forests, ferns play crucial roles in nutrient cycling, microclimate maintenance, and forest regeneration. It is a general point of view that ferns distribute commonly in shady understory, with some species on the brink of extinction, while others thrive in disturbed open habitats, forming monos...Read More
