Through complementarity interactions, mixed-species forests can be more productive than
monocultures, and this effect can increase with tree-species richness. However, this is not …

Stand structure can strongly influence forest growth and other processes, such as the water
balance, carbon partitioning, nutrient cycling and light dynamics. However, individual …

Forests are critical habitats for biodiversity and they are also essential for the provision of a
wide range of ecosystem services that are important to human well-being. There is …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Intensively managed plantations account for 1.5% of the world's forests, but they meet one-
third of the demand for wood products. Eucalyptus plantations are among the most …

Forest diversity-productivity relationships have been intensively investigated in recent
decades. However, few studies have considered the interplay between species and …

Species diversity is a part of (forest) stand structure but tree diameter diversity and height
diversity alone or combined are typically defined as stand structural diversity or complexity …

We examined the potential growth of clonal Eucalyptus plantations at eight locations across
a 1000+ km gradient in Brazil by manipulating the supplies of nutrients and water, and …

Climate models predict that the frequency, intensity and duration of drought events will
increase in tropical regions. Although water withdrawal from deep soil layers is generally …

There is increasing evidence that mixed‐species forests can provide multiple ecosystem
services at a higher level than their monospecific counterparts. However, most studies …
