“…To ensure sustainable development of planted forest stands and overcome the limitations of the pure-species afforestation method, the mixed-species afforestation method is an inevitable solution (Drössler et al 2015;Zhao et al 2017;Semenyutina et al 2018;Liu et al 2018).…”

Abstract. Huong PV, Cuong LV. 2022. The ecological interaction between endangered, precious and rare woody species in rich forest community: A case study in Tanphu protection forest, Vietnam. Biodiversitas 23: 6119-6127. The present study was conducted to explore the ecological relationship between endangered, precious, and rare tree species and other woody tree species in the rich forest in Tanphu protection forest, Southeastern region, Vietnam. Thirty 2500 m2 study plots (50 × 50 m) were established in the rich forest in Tanphu protection forest. The results revealed that: the rich forest comprised 38 species of woody trees, in which Dipterocarpus alatus Roxb was the dominant species, Shorea guiso Blume, Shorea roxburghii G.Don and Vitex ajugiflora Dop were co-dominant species; Afzelia xylocarpa (Kurz) Craib, Dalbergia oliveri Gamble ex Prain, Pterocarpus macrocarpus Kurz and Dalbergia cochinchinensis Pierre were four endangered, precious and rare species. In the study area, the eight pairs of species viz. D. oliveri - D. alatus; A. xylocarpa - D. alatus; A. xylocarpa - S. guiso; D. cochinchinensis - D. alatus; D. cochinchinensis - S. roxburghii; P. macrocarpus - D. alatus; P. macrocarpus - V. ajugiflora and P. macrocarpus - S. guiso were positively correlated; while two pairs of species were negatively correlated viz. S. guiso - D. oliveri; S. guiso - D. cochinchinensis. Hence, the findings from this study suggested that when choosing plant combinations, the first priority has to be the species that were positively correlated with endangered, precious, and, rare species, and to avoid the selection of negatively associated species.

“…Cryptomeria fortunei and Cunninghamia lanceolata are fastgrowing conifer species inhabiting subtropical China and are widely planted because of their high-economic value. In addition, these two species provide important ecological benefits, including carbon sequestration, soil erosion conservation, and diminishing atmospheric pollutants (Tian et al, 2011;Zhao et al, 2017). We aimed to compare the onset and end of xylogenesis as well as the growth rate between C. fortunei and C. lanceolata in relation to climate variables during the two sampling years.…”

Monitoring cambial activity is important for a better understanding of the mechanisms governing xylem growth responses to climate change, providing a scientific basis for tree-ring-based climate reconstructions and projections about tree growth under future climate scenarios. It plays an even more important role in investigating evergreen tree growth in regions with less distinct seasonal cycles. Subtropical evergreen forests have been studied in recent years for their sensitivity to climate change, but it remains unclear how xylem growth is driven by subtropical climates. To further understand the climate-growth response strategies of subtropical conifers, we micro-cored Cryptomeria fortunei and Cunninghamia lanceolata weekly in 2016 and 2017 at the humid subtropical Gushan Mountain in southeastern China. Our weekly growth monitoring showed that the vegetation periods of these two species were both approximately 2–3 months longer than trees in temperate and boreal forests. The growth of C. fortunei in 2016 and 2017 and C. lanceolata in 2017 showed a bimodal pattern of xylogenesis, which was induced by summer drought. The results also indicated that the earlier end of the xylem formation was related to the yearly drought stress. These findings provide more specific information about tree growth and evidence of how climate influences wood production at the cellular level in subtropical regions.

“…The forest canopy can be subject to higher rates of dry deposition than non-forest areas 13 . In addition, the contents of elements such as K and N from precipitation can increase through the canopy, and the canopy can absorb pollution gasses such as SO 2 and Cl 2 ; hence, the presence or absence of vegetation is more important than the type of vegetation in a plantation forest 14 . The transfer of elements to the forest land is primarily via precipitation and is more influenced by the canopy 15 .…”

Canopy exchange is one of the most important processes involved in the internal transfer of elements in forest ecosystems. However, little information is available on how canopy exchange influences the input of base cations in subalpine forests. Therefore, the concentrations and fluxes of base cations in throughfall and stemflow were investigated from August 2015 to July 2016 (except for the frozen season) in a representative subalpine spruce plantation in the eastern Tibet Plateau. Our results showed that the mean concentrations of K, Ca, Na and Mg were higher in the stemflow than in the throughfall and precipitation. The total input fluxes of K, Ca, Na and Mg in the internal forest were lower than those in the non-forest. Moreover, the results from the canopy budget model indicated that the canopy exchange fluxes of K, Ca and Mg were higher than the dry deposition fluxes, and Ca and Mg were uptaken, whereas K was leached when precipitation passed through the canopy. Therefore, the results suggested that the input of base cations is mainly controlled by canopy exchange during precipitation in subalpine forest ecosystems, and the canopy could alter the sinks and sources of base cations from precipitation.
