“…Fei et al., 2018; Liang et al., 2016; Mori, 2018). The results of these studies underpin the fundamental importance of tree species diversity for many ecosystem functions and services, from the provision of wood products to the resistance and resilience to climatic extremes, and other disturbances (Mensah et al., 2020; Scherer‐Lorenzen, 2014; Teben’Kova et al., 2020; Yuan et al., 2020).…”

Biodiversity experiments have identified both complementarity and selection as important drivers of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. However, their relative importance in above‐ and below‐ground ecosystem compartments of mature forests remains yet to be explored. We adopted a trait‐based approach to partition biodiversity effects in above‐ and below‐ground complementarity and selection. This approach was based on canopy and root traits measured in single‐ and mixed‐species plots in mature forests across a European latitudinal gradient. We assessed the relative importance of above‐ and below‐ground selection and complementarity in driving the relationship between tree species diversity and above‐ground wood production. We used the expected values (based on the values measured in monocultures) of leaf area index (LAI) and fine root biomass as proxies for above‐ and below‐ground selection, whereas canopy packing and rooting depth variability were used as proxies for above‐ and below‐ground complementarity. Our results showed that tree species richness–wood production relationships were driven by above‐ and below‐ground complementarity (i.e. canopy packing and rooting depth variability), rather than selection. The proxies for selection were found to have a positive effect on wood production but were not affected by tree species richness. We concluded that above‐ground‐ but also the largely neglected below‐ground complementarity drives biodiversity–productivity relationships in mature forests. Our findings suggest that choosing tree species with complementary above‐ and below‐ground traits should be considered in afforestation and forest management to promote tree diversity and productivity in European forests.

“…Forest ecosystems provide multiple services simultaneously and possess intrinsic multifunctionality values (Winkel et al, 2022). The provision of forest ecosystem services and biodiversity (abbreviated to ecosystem services, for simplicity) has long been considered a side effect of traditional productionoriented forestry, but today ecosystem services play a crucial role in meeting the economic and population needs of modern societies (Teben'kova et al, 2020). For instance, climate mitigation demands such as storing carbon or temperature regulation have become increasingly relevant during the last decades (Benz et al, 2020), and recent forest-related policies particularly emphasize the importance of biodiversity conservation (EC, 2021a).…”

“…Meanwhile, the type of economic activity determines the main direction of soil change: many human actions may be similar to natural phenomena (planting of trees, mole drainage, etc. ), but certain actions (soils irrigation) leads to incomparable conditions with the original soil formation conditions [10].

This article presents studies on determining the rate of anthropogenic influences on the gray forest soils sustainability. At present, various pollutants from the atmosphere affect soils. This leads to a decrease in soil fertility, water and air pollution, a decrease in crop yields, and deterioration of product quality. A study of the gray forest soils sustainability to anthropogenic influences incompatible with natural processes is of particular interest to select groups by the degree of anthropogenic transformation. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the rate of anthropogenic influences on the grey forest soils sustainability and the degree of their anthropogenic transformation. This requires determining the change in the agrochemical indicators of the fertility of gray forest soils disturbed by overburdened quarrying. Identifying the nature of changes in the texture and micro-aggregate composition of the disturbed soils. Assess the nature of changes in the heavy metals content in gray forest soils of the areas chemically polluted by unauthorized disposal of industrial wastes. Reveal the nature of technogenic load and ecological hazard of industrial waste on the fertile layer of gray forest soils in the chemically polluted area. The research was conducted on an agricultural land site, where soil samples of gray forest soils were extracted. As a result, the gray forest soils’ sustainability to anthropogenic impact, incompatible with natural processes, was assessed. The rates of organic content reduction due to violation of the humus layer were proved. The decrease level of available phosphorus was proved, significant fluctuations for potassium in the soils were revealed. A significant decrease in soil acidity has been confirmed. The influence of chemical pollution of the soil cover by heavy metals has been found out. The intensity of anthropogenic load of industrial waste on the soil depending on the soil contamination levels of heavy metals was revealed.
