Niche and interspecific association of dominant arbor species in Quercus communities in the Qinling Mountains, China by Ruizhi Huang, Qi Wang, Jingyi Sun, Yipei Zhao, Shaowei Yang, Wenfa Xiao, Jianfeng Liu

“…In this study, we conducted a field survey on five types of Quercus communities across six elevation belts ranging from 900 to 2300 m (a.s.l) on the north and south slopes of Qinling Mountains, where the north subtropical and warm temperate zones divide. We analyzed the importance values, niche widths, niche overlaps, competition, interspecific associations of the three dominant Quercus species, as well as community connectivity. …”

Bedrock modulates the elevational patterns of soil microbial communities by Xianjin He, Ruiqi Wang, Daniel S. Goll, Laurent Augusto, Naoise Nunan, M.D. Farnon Ellwood, Quanzhou Gao, Junlong Huang, Shenhua Qian, Yonghua Zhang, Zufei Shu, Buhang Li, Chengjin Chu

“…We therefore investigated soil microbial communities (bacterial and fungal) along two adjacent elevational transects with different bedrocks (granite vs. slate) in a subtropical forest. Our findings reveal that soil microbial communities are shaped by complex interactions between bedrock type and environmental factors along elevational gradients. …”

Latitudinal patterns of tree β-diversity and relevant ecological processes vary across spatial extents in forests of southeastern China by Maochou Liu, Wenxiang Wu, Ke Wang, Xinshuai Ren, Xueqin Zhang, Lei Wang, Jing Geng, Bo Yang

“…Our results reinforce that ecological processes are scale-dependent and collectively contribute to the β-gradient in subtropical forests. We recommend that conservation efforts maintain diverse forests and heterogeneous environments at multiple spatial extents to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change.…”
