Species evenness declines but specific functional strategy enhances aboveground biomass across strata in subtropical-Warm-temperate forests of South Korea

Hae-In Lee et al.

Summary: The study reveals that aboveground biomass in different forest strata is influenced by tree environmental conditions, stand age, tree diversity, and trait identification. Low species evenness and different species' functional strategies impact aboveground biomass across forest strata. Therefore, considering the functional strategies of different species is essential for sustainable forest management to achieve biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration.

Nuray Cicek et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of vermicompost leachate on the growth, quality, and nutrients of Sedum album seedlings under salt stress. The results showed that the addition of vermicompost leachate can mitigate the detrimental effects of salt stress on Sedum album.

Salinity reduces site quality and mangrove forest functions. From monitoring to understanding

Shamim Ahmed et al.

Summary: Mangroves are facing threats from anthropogenic activities and climate change, particularly rising salinity levels. A study conducted in the Bangladesh Sundarbans examined how increasing salinity affects forest structure, functions, and productivity. The results showed that higher salinity impedes forest growth, reduces soil nutrients, and alters the dominance of plant species. The study also highlighted the negative impact of salinity on functional variables and the importance of nutrient availability and leaf area index in maintaining the resilience of less salt-tolerant species.

Towards a unified theory of plant photosynthesis and hydraulics

Jaideep Joshi et al.

Summary: Using trait-based optimality theory, this study successfully predicts the simultaneous decline in carbon assimilation, stomatal conductance, and photosynthetic capacity during progressive droughts. The model also accurately predicts the dependencies of gas exchange on atmospheric conditions and aligns with widely observed patterns. This unified theory opens new avenues for modeling the effects of drying soil and rising atmospheric CO2 on global photosynthesis and transpiration.

Impact of soil salinity on mangrove restoration in a semiarid region: a case study from the Saloum Delta, Senegal

John L. Devaney et al.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of soil salinity on the early establishment success of monospecific red mangrove reforestation projects in the Saloum Delta, Senegal. Findings showed that at higher soil salinities, stomatal conductance, photosystem II operating efficiency, and growth of planted mangrove seedlings were severely reduced.

Coastal soil texture controls soil organic carbon distribution and storage of mangroves in China

Qiang Wang et al.

Summary: The study proposed a new framework based on coastal soil textures and found regional-scale variations in mangrove soil C:N:P stoichiometry and SOC storage. Results showed the underestimated role of mud-sand mixed soil as a blue carbon hotspot and highlighted the contribution of microbial-derived C to stable SOC pool. Additionally, the research revealed the importance of GRSP in regulating SOC stabilization mechanisms and capturing variations in mangrove SOC storage linked to coastal soil textures.

Summary: The study found that the establishment of wind farms in the Karaburun Peninsula resulted in a total decrease of 18,330.57 tons of soil organic carbon in the study area between 2000 and 2019. The findings highlight the potential environmental issues caused by wind farms, such as climate change, and emphasize the need for a comprehensive reevaluation of investments in renewable energy sources.

Utilising forest inventory data for biodiversity assessment

Michael Heym et al.

Summary: The paradigm of sustainable forest management has expanded to include ecological, economic, and social forest functions and services, with a particular emphasis on biodiversity. Quantifying, monitoring, and assessing biodiversity in forest planning processes remains complex and challenging, despite the potential value of data from regional or national forest inventories. This study demonstrates how such data can be aggregated and utilized to support biodiversity assessment and monitoring at different spatial and temporal scales, focusing on tree species and structural indices.

Mangrove diversity enhances plant biomass production and carbon storage in Hainan island, China

Jiankun Bai et al.

Summary: The study found that mangrove species diversity has a positive effect on both mangrove biomass production and soil carbon storage. This effect is more evident in forest communities, and is influenced by structural characteristics such as tree stem diameter and tree density. Additionally, areas with high soil nitrogen content and mean annual precipitation show higher mangrove biomass and carbon storage, indicating a relation between climate factors and soil fertility in driving mangrove carbon storage and diversity patterns.

Fine root biomass and its contribution to the mangrove communities in three saline zones of Sundarbans, Bangladesh

Shamim Ahmed et al.

Summary: The study focused on the influence of salinity and differences in forest structure on fine root biomass (FRB) and carbon stocks in the Sundarbans mangrove forest in Bangladesh. Results showed variations in forest structural parameters and diversity indices with salinity changes, with carbon stocks decreasing with increasing salinity in different zones. Fine root biomass also decreased with soil depth, but not significantly among layers.

Solving the fourth-corner problem: forecasting ecosystem primary production from spatial multispecies trait-based models

Swapan Kumar Sarker et al.

Summary: The study proposes a novel synthesis by integrating a Bayesian hierarchical model to forecast productivity and stress in an ecosystem, applied in the world's largest mangrove forest. It reveals that tree species under stress show typical functional responses to environmental drivers, with reduced traits related to resource acquisition and enhanced traits related to resource conservation.

Mangrove carbon stocks in Pongara National Park, Gabon

Carl C. Trettin et al.

Summary: Mangroves in Pongara National Park, Gabon were inventoried for carbon stocks using remote sensing data to stratify the area based on canopy height, revealing significant differences in biomass among height classes but not in soil carbon density. Soils accounted for over 84% of the ecosystem carbon stock, with a total estimated carbon stock of 40,588 Gg C within the park. This study demonstrates the importance of using remote sensing data and spatial decision support systems for large-scale field inventories of mangrove carbon stocks to support national reporting and sustainable management practices.

Summary: This study developed a quantitative classification model of mangrove ecosystem degradation using freely available earth observation data and applied it to two case studies, showing degradation extents of 40% and 97.4%. The use of an ecological conceptual model as a basis for building quantitative classification models ensures ecological relevance and supports ecosystem risk assessments, natural capital accounting, and restoration planning.
