We examined community diversity, structure and carbon footprint of nematode food web along a chronosequence of T. Sinensis reforestation on degraded Karst. In general, after the reforestation: a serious of diversity parameters and community indices (Shannon-Weinier index (H'), structure index (SI), etc.) were elevated; biomass ratio of fungivores to bacterivores (FFC/BFC), and fungi to bacteria...

This paper deals with optimal forest rotation age and silvicultural investment under policy or regulatory uncertainty to which wasteful deforestation and lack of reforestation and afforestation efforts in the developing countries and loss of old growth forests and biodiversity in the developed countries are attributed. Incorporating a stochastic uncertainty factor into the familiar deterministi...

(Species richness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in forests with Araucaria in Southern Brazil). This study aimed to characterize species richness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in three distinct forests with Araucaria angustifolia (native forest, reforestation with A. angustifolia and plantation with Pinus taeda) in the “Floresta Nacional de São Francisco de Paula”, State of Rio Grande ...
