Adequate seed provenance is an important guarantee for the restoration of the mixed Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) and broadleaf forest (MKPBF). However, the commercial harvest exclusion in natural forests has led to a sharp decline in economic incom...
Korean pine broadleaf mixed forest is an important ecosystem for maintaining biodiversity in Northeast China. Korean pine is also an important species for the production of timber and nuts in the mountainous areas of Northeast China. In this study, w...
Global climate change is driving profound transformations in forest ecosystems, particularly in monsoon-influenced regions of the Pacific coast of Asia, such as the Sikhote-Alin Mountains. Long-lived conifer species, notably Korean pine (Pinus koraie...
Broad-scale assessments often track forest productivity, yet they rarely quantify how soil conditions determine whether these gains persist as long-lived carbon and generate measurable economic value. This study focused on Northeast China, where fore...
Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc. is an endemic and dominant tree in temperate zone needle broad-leaf mixed forest and has great economic and ecological value. As the barrier, pine bark has many important functions. However, the ecological functions an...
The biodiversity crisis and ecosystem degradation caused by habitat destruction and human activities can be reduced by organizing protected areas. However, many protected areas currently take the form of “green islands,” which has led to...
(1) Background: leaf structure traits are closely related to leaf photosynthesis, reflecting the ability of trees to obtain external resources in the process of growth. (2) Methods: We studied the morphological, chemical, anatomical, stomatal traits...
Global warming has a significant impact on soil carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes in temperate forests. However, due to a lack of field observations, limited information is available about the responses of soil CO2 and CH4 fluxes to chang...
Climate warming has led to more frequent soil freeze–thaw (FT) events in high-latitude and high-altitude regions, leading to significant pulse releases of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) into the at...
Multidimensional trait frameworks are increasingly used to understand how plant functional strategies change across ontogeny. However, whether leaf economic, stomatal, and non-structural carbohydrate traits show consistent or dimension-specific ontog...
