In this post, Yongqiang Zhang—a PhD student at Peking University—shares his recently published paper: “Functional diversity of neighbors mediates sap flow density and radial growth of focal trees, but in different ways between evergreen and deciduous broadleaved species”. He underscores the importance of this research in advancing forest management practices by regulating species composition in the neighborhood, which can reduce water consumption by trees while … Continue reading Yongqiang Zhang: Functional diversity of neighbors mediates sap flow density and radial growth of focal trees, but in different ways between evergreen and deciduous broadleaved species
