Abstract: Tree performance in mixed-species forest plantations is ultimately the net result of positive and negative interactions among species. Despite increasing knowledge of interspecific interactions, relatively little is known about the chemical mechanisms mediating such interactions.… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Conifer plantations generally provide less food for woodland birds such as tit species than do broadleaf or mixed forests. We examined whether small patches of broadleaf (thus, caterpillar-rich) trees in a Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria… read more here.

Abstract: Woody species have evolved carbon (C) storage processes that meet needs for reserves associated with asynchronies between C supply and demand. However, our understanding of storage dynamics is still elusive in mature trees, especially when… read more here.
