Forest edges, tree diversity and tree identity change leaf miner diversity in a temperate forest Universiteit Gent
Tree species diversity impacts average radial growth of beech and oak trees in Belgium, not their long-term growth trend Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
BackgroundEnvironmental change has resulted in changes in forest growth in Europe during the last century. This has consequences for the products and services delivered by forest. Mixing tree species is often proposed as a strategy to deal with the consequences of climate change. Diversifying forests is believed to result in higher productivity and increased growth stability. Tree species diversity is therefore expected to affect long-term ...
Impacts of the diversity of traditional uses and potential economic value on food tree species conservationstatus: case study of African bush mango trees (Irvingiaceae) in the Dahomey Gap (West Africa) Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
Background and aims - Bitter and sweet African bush mango trees belong to the family Irvingiaceae and produce valuable non-timber forest products in humid lowland areas of West and Central Africa. The bitter and sweet types are treated as distinct taxa at the variety or species level. They have not been studied in the western part of their distribution range, and many aspects of their large-scale utilization remain unknown. In this study, we ...
Synthesis and future research directions linking tree diversity to growth, survival, and damage in a global network of tree diversity experiments KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
Disentangling tree diversity, tree identity and edge effects : arthropod diversity and functioning Universiteit Gent
Tree diversity effects on soil microbial biomass and respiration are context dependent across forest diversity experiments Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Tree identity rather than tree diversity drives earthworm communities in European forests KU Leuven
© 2018 Elsevier GmbH Given the key role of belowground biota on forest ecosystem functioning, it is important to identify the factors that influence their abundance and composition. However, the understanding of the ecological linkage between tree diversity and belowground biota is still insufficient. Here we investigated the influence of tree diversity (richness, True Shannon diversity index, functional diversity) and identity (proportion of ...
