Hydraulic diversity stabilizes productivity in a large-scale subtropical tree biodiversity experiment
Florian Schnabel,Xiaojuan Liu,Matthias Kunz,Kathryn E. Barry,Franca J. Bongers,Helge Bruelheide,Andreas Fichtner,Werner Härdtle,Shan Li,Claas-Thido Pfaff,Bernhard Schmid,Julia Schwarz,Zhiyao Tang,Bo Yang,Jürgen Bauhus,Goddert von Oheimb,Keping Ma,Christian Wirth +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, structural equation models were used to explain how tree species richness, asynchronous species dynamics and diversity in hydraulic traits affect the stability of forest productivity along an experimentally manipulated biodiversity gradient ranging from 1 to 24 tree species.

Neighbourhood species richness and drought-tolerance traits modulate tree growth and δ13C responses to drought
Florian Schnabel,Kathryn E. Barry,Susanne Eckhardt,Joannès Guillemot,Heike Geilmann,Anja Kahl,Heiko Moossen,Jürgen Bauhus,Christian Wirth +8 more
TL;DR: The authors investigated tree growth and physiological stress responses (i.e., increase in wood carbon isotopic ratio; δ13C) to changes in climate-induced water availability (wet-to-dry years) along gradients in neighbourhood tree species richness and drought tolerance traits.

Jakovac,Natalia Norden,Lourens Poorter,Masha T. van der Sande,Christian Wirth,Diego Delgado,Daisy H. Dent,Saara J. DeWalt,Juan Manuel Dupuy,Bryan Finegan,Jefferson S. Hall,José Luis Hernández-Stefanoni,Omar R. Lopez,Nadja Rüger +23 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors collected demographic information from repeated forest inventories along chronosequences in two wet (Costa Rica, Panama) and two dry (Mexico) Neotropical forests to assess whether the range of demographic strategies present in a community shifts across succession.
