Biodiversity was significantly higher in mixed plantations (such as CWMMH, Shrub.Shannon, Shrub.Richness, Herb.Shannon, Herb.Richness), but environmental factors differed less among the three forest types, and belowground diversity differed significantly only in the Bacterial.Shannon and Fungal.Shannon....
In an ecosystem, biotic factors include all the living parts of the ecosystem. A healthy woodland ecosystem contains producers like grasses and trees, as well as consumers ranging from mice and rabbits to hawks and bears. The biotic components of an ecosystem also encompass decomposers like fungus...

From introduction to the establishment of alien species: bioclimatic differences between presence and reproduction localities in the slider turtle Aim Understanding the factors determining the transition from introduction of aliens to the establishment of invasive populations is a critical issue of th... ...
Woody plants are crucial components of forest ecosystems and play critical roles in regulating community succession and ecosystem function. Studying woody plant diversity and its influencing factors is thus important for understanding and protecting forest ecosystems.Quercus alienavar.acutiserratais an import...
a role in determining the population of particular tree species in a forest. Biotic factors also come into play. The presence of other tree species has an impact. The regeneration density of trees tends to be higher in locations where there are other trees of the same species nearby. In ...
