Field work had been conducted for 2 years (2008-2009) to investigate the impacts of neighbouring plants on Manchurian Ash (Fraxinus mandshurica) seedling growth under the canopy of an old secondary forest and on the abandoned land exposed to full solar radiation in North-eastern China. Four different interaction treatments were designed for the study: neither shoot nor root interaction, shoot interaction only, root interaction only, and both shoot and root interaction. The presence of either the shoots or roots of neighbours had a competitive effect, reducing the growth of the target seedlings at each site. The total competitive effect of roots and shoots of neighbouring plants was significantly less than the sum of root and shoot competition separately on the abandoned land, but this difference was not significant beneath the forest canopy. Root competition was more restraining than shoot competition on the abandoned land. Target seedlings adjusted their root morphology and growth rates in response to the competitive effects from different parts of the neighbouring plants. Our results indicated that the root:shoot ratios of the target seedlings at the end of the experiment were affected by neither initial tree size nor the competition from either above- or belowground at either site. The results also highlight the importance of reducing root competition in boosting seedling regeneration and forest rehabilitation on the abandoned land."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10342-012-0676-8"],["dc.identifier.isi","000316020800010"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/30544"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","1612-4669"],["dc.title","Influence of ground flora on Fraxinus mandshurica seedling growth on abandoned land and beneath forest canopy"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI WOS2014Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","100"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Forest Ecology and Management"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","109"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","316"],["dc.contributor.author","Zhang, C."],["dc.contributor.author","Zhao, X."],["dc.contributor.author","von Gadow, Klaus"],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T09:42:33Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T09:42:33Z"],["dc.date.issued","2014"],["dc.description.abstract","This study presents an analysis of selective harvest events in three 10-ha field plots with mapped trees, representing different forest successional stages in the temperate multi-species forests of North-Eastern China. Non-spatial methods of analyzing the harvest events include species and size selection preference and an assessment of harvest intensities for four species groups (identified using bivariate mixed dbh/ height distributions). Spatial aggregation increased very slightly after the harvest event, but in most cases, the change was hardly noticeable. In addition, tree selection preferences involving nearest neighbor structure units are presented, using the attributes \"species mingling\" and \"dominance\". The removals occurred within a broad array of neighborhood constellations, involving suppressed as well as dominant individuals. Previous approaches involving harvest event analysis in multi-species forests were limited to assessing size and species selection preferences. This study uses more advanced methods and presents more detailed interpretations, due to the large and detailed observational datasets and improved analytical tools that have become available recently. Models of tree growth and survival, which represent the overwhelming result of traditional observational studies, only describe a part of forest dynamics. Equally important are the modifications caused by regular human disturbance. There is thus increasing motivation for analyzing selective harvesting activities as presented in this contribution.

This study aims to present a finding about the gender-based cost of reproductive allocation. The trade-off between reproduction and foliage biomass allocation was examined in Rhamnus davurica and Rhamnus schneideri at different modular levels (shoot/sub-branch, branch, and shrub/tree level).

Inter-annual trade-offs existed at all three different modular levels in R. schneideri females, while the evidence of inter-annual trade-offs was only detected at branch level in R. davurica females. At the population level, the sex ratio was female-biased in 2010, and it did not significantly deviate from 1: 1 in 2011 in R. davurica. However, the sex ratios were significantly female-biased in both 2010 and 2011 in R. schneideri.

This study presents vegetative and reproductive allometries for two dioecious tree species of the genus Rhamnus in north-eastern China. A power function and a linear model were found suitable for describing different components of the vegetative allometry. In addition, a linear regression was used to estimate the number of flowers and/or fruits based on observed stem size. R. davurica being the taller species of the two shows highly significant correlations for all selected combinations of different vegetative components. These correlations are much less pronounced and sometimes even nonsignificant in R. schneideri, which occupies a great variety of niches at the understory with diverse crown shapes. Component biomass was highly correlated with tree diameter for both sexes, but the allometries changed with sex and species. Both females and males show consistent patterns of reproductive size dependency. However, the slope of the linear relations differs between the sexes again indicating gender-related differences in reproductive size. According to theory, females allocate more biomass to reproduction than males, which negatively affects their vegetative growth.

The focus of this study is to test an environmental control hypothesis. The spatial variations of community structure (species diversity, forest density and size differentiation) were partitioned into pure environment, pure space, and spatially-structured environmental processes in the three research plots. The principal coordinates of neighbor matrices (PCNMs) method was included in the procedure of variation decomposition with respect to spatial and environmental components. The significant PCNM variables could be directly interpreted in terms of spatial scales. The results indicate that the explanatory power of the soil data was much greater in the secondary forests (YSF and/or OSF) than in the old-growth forest regarding species diversity, forest density and size differentiation. Nearly half (48.35% and 44.86%) of the variation of species richness was explained by soil properties in the young secondary forest and the old secondary forest, respectively. However, only 4.87% of that variation was explained by soil properties in the old-growth forest. Over 14% of the variation of the tree size differentiation was explained by soil properties in two secondary forests, and only 4.23% in the old-growth forest. In this study, the spatial variation of species richness and size differentiation was related to environmental variables at multiple scales. Soil variables had a significant effect on species richness and size differentiation at broader scales in the secondary forests, but mainly at medium and fine scales in the old-growth forest.

Our knowledge regarding density patterns and maximum densities in uneven-aged natural forests, and the ecological mechanisms that produce such patterns, is still very limited. This study analyses the density patterns in two species-rich forests in North-Eastern China. Each of the two 28 hectare field plots with mapped trees was subdivided into (320 and 312) cells, each cell measuring 30 m x 30 m. The limiting relationships for the two study areas were estimated using exponential models and percentile regression. The allometric exponents between tree size and tree density are surprisingly similar for Jiaohe (-1.17) and Liangshui (-1.14), and considerably lower than those found in even-aged plantations. Another objective of the study was to study the relationship between cell density and forest structure. High density cells with a basal area mean value of 45 m(2)/ha were compared with low density cells with a basal area mean value of 18 m(2)/ha. High density cells had a significantly higher species richness and higher diameter coefficient of variation than cells with low density. The density patterns in the canopy and understory layers were also found to be different, understory trees showing higher mortality rates with increasing tree size than canopy trees. Finally, either habitat heterogeneity or dispersal limitations are insufficient to explain maximum density patterns on their own. Our results show, however, that their joint effect may determine the formation of maximum density patterns in the two forests. Further studies in species-rich natural forests ecosystems are needed to explain density patterns in different ecosystems. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

To evaluate the effects of tree size, as well as biotic and abiotic factors on tree mortality, we compared species-specific mortality rates in a 21-ha temperate multi-species natural forest in northeastern China, where all trees had been mapped. Our study shows that the mortality rates are highly variable among the different tree species and the influence of habitat preference on the mortality rate of a species across habitats was insignificant. Using generalized linear mixed-effects models, we further found that among the drivers of tree survival, tree size had the strongest effect across different species. There are significant negative relationships between the basal area of conspecific neighbors and tree survival at the community level across almost all the guilds. Regarding abiotic factors, elevation had a greater effect on tree survival than other topographic variables did. Abiotic factors affected shrubs more than tall canopy species in terms of survival rate. Our study suggests that tree size, density-dependent effects and niche partitioning contribute to the regulation of survival pattern of temperate forest communities, but the relative importance of these factors varies greatly among guilds and species.

For the females of the species, inter-annual trade-offs were only found at branch and shrub levels. Slightly negative correlations in females were detected between the reproduction in 2012 and the reproduction in the two previous years. The gender ratio was significantly male biased during the three successive years of our investigation. Females had higher mortality rates in the larger diameter classes, both in 2011 and 2012.
