Two new species of Micropsalliota (Agaricales, Agaricaceae) from subtropical regions of China by Jun-Qing Yan, Zhi-Heng Zeng, Ya-Ping Hu, Cheng-Feng Nie, Bin-Rong Ke, Sheng-Nan Wang, Hui Zeng

“…In this study, two new species of Micropsalliota, M. bispora and M. vulgaris, have been identified based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence from subtropical regions of China. Morphologically, M. bispora is characterized by very small basidiomata, cymbiform basidiospores up to 9.0 μm long, white to cream pileus with fawn to dull red center, and tibiiform cheilocystidia; M. vulgaris is recognized by small basidiomata, medium-sized spores, white to cream pileus, covered with reddish brown to dark brown fibrils, various cheilocystidia that are up to 60 μm long, and hyphae of fibrils exhibiting pale brown vacuolar pigmentation. …”

Zooplankton Structure and Potential Food Web Interactions in the Plankton of a Subtropical Chain-of-Lakes by Karl E. Havens

“…These results, when considered in the context of nutrient-addition, zooplankton-exclosure studies on Lake Okeechobee, support the hypothesis that phytoplankton biomass in subtropical lakes is regulated by —bottom-up,“ rather than —top-down“ forces.…”

Characterization of soundscapes with acoustic indices and clustering reveals phenology patterns in a subtropical rainforest by Yan-Tin Lai, Sheng-Shan Lu, Ming-Tang Shiao

“…The clustering results enabled the description of dynamic changes in the soundscape throughout the year. In the subtropical rainforest, rain and wind affected the soundscape from October to March, whereas bird songs were prominent only in the early mornings from February to May, which were subsequently replaced by cicada calls that continued until late August. …”

Temporal and habitat-specific variations in drivers of aboveground biomass dynamics in a Chinese subtropical forest by Yuxuan Bian, Qi Wu, Rong Zheng, Jiaqin Fu, Jianhua Chen, Xiangcheng Mi, Mingjian Yu, Yunquan Wang, Yunquan Wang, Yunquan Wang

“…To address this gap, we evaluated changes in aboveground biomass across a decade and various habitats, disentangling the relative influences of topography and multidimensional diversity on ΔAGB through datasets from forest inventories conducted between 2007 and 2017, along with phylogenetic relatedness, functional traits, and environmental variables from a subtropical forest in China. Our findings indicate that aboveground biomass at community level experienced a significant decline followed by an increase over the decade, predominantly driven by changes in the low-valley habitat. …”
