TLDR
Coastal conservation managers should shift from their traditional focus on C. equisetifolia afforestation to the recognition of multi-species configuration, and native species have facilitation relationships that differ according to the species.

Tree Biomass Allocation and Its Model Additivity for Casuarina equisetifolia in a Tropical Forest of Hainan Island, China.

TL;DR: A robust estimation of tree biomass components and total biomass over three groups of C. equisetifolia is provided, showing that including the crown radius (CR) into the biomass models greatly improved the model performance and reduced the error.

Wind and salt spray alter tree shape and dry mass density in Casuarina equisetifolia L.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to evaluate the adaptation of Casuarina equisetifolia to coastal stress by modifying its tree shape and dry mass density.
Journal ArticleDOI

Introduced non-native mangroves express better growth performance than co-occurring native mangroves.

TL;DR: It is found that non-native mangrove species performed better than co-occurring native mangroves species in their introduced regions (Log response ratio) and they also expressed higher trait plasticity and they can be potentially invasive owing to their greater competitive advantage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Facilitation by Tree Species in Variable Retention Harvesting for the Restoration of Monoculture Plantations in Southern China

TL;DR: The results imply that managers have considerable flexibility to employ various types of facilitation schemes coupled with different harvesting systems for successful short-term restoration within a monoculture.

Positive interactions in communities.

TL;DR: Evidence for the importance of positive interactions - facilitations - in community organization and dynamics has accrued to the point where it warrants formal inclusion into community ecology theory, as it has been in evolutionary biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive interactions of nonindigenous species: invasional meltdown?

TL;DR: There is little evidence that interference among introduced species at levels currently observed significantly impedes further invasions, and synergistic interactions among invaders may well lead to accelerated impacts on native ecosystems – an invasional ‘meltdown’ process.

The Individualistic Concept of the Plant Association

TL;DR: The units of vegetation, which form the subject of our discussions this week, were just as easily visible to primitive man as they are to us today as discussed by the authors. But they were neglected by scientists, whose thoughts were turned in different directions, but they were recognized by -the laity.
