Within the deciduous forest habitat's food chain, the consumers are organisms that are unable to produce their own food and must eat other organisms to survive. Consumers can be of a primary, secondary or tertiary type.Primary consumersinclude the insects, rodents and larger herbivores that eat ...
leaves each year.They are found in areas with warm,moist summers and mild winters.[1]The three major areas of this forest type occur in the Northern Hemisphere:eastern North America,East Asia,[2]and Europe.Smaller areas occur in Australasia and southern South America.[3]Examples of typical ...
These forest specialists contribute only 10% of the plant species of the total German flora. This fraction is even less (4 to 5%) for Romania which is generally regarded as a region with close to "natural" forest conditions. Also, the forest flora of Germany and Romania contains fewer ...
N levels in the deciduous forest investigated in the present paper. However, as typical for studies in terrestrial ecology, belowground responses to global change agents, such as fertilization effects, are still less well explored. Moreover, it is unclear if fertilization of ...
The most common type of forest community in BF is oak–lime–hornbeam forest of the Tilio-Carpinetum type, which covers over 60% of the area [40]. This type of community develops on various types of eutrophic soils: typical eutrophic brown soils, typical clay-illuvial soils, and stagnogle...
Forests are three-dimensional ecosystems where all organisms are distributed not only along various horizontal ecological gradients, e.g., [1,2,3], but also along the vertical gradient between forest litter and tree crowns [4]. For example, many studies have been conducted on the vertical strat...
