Neighbourhood diversity mitigates drought impacts on tree growth
Andreas Fichtner,Florian Schnabel,Helge Bruelheide,Matthias Kunz,Katharina Mausolf,Andreas Schuldt,Werner Härdtle,Goddert von Oheimb +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that neighbourhood tree species richness can mitigate for drought‐induced growth decline of young trees, and drought‐sensitive species benefitted the most from growing in diverse neighbourhoods, suggesting that soil water partitioning among local neighbours during drought particularly facilitated most vulnerable individuals.

Species-Specific Effects on Throughfall Kinetic Energy in Subtropical Forest Plantations Are Related to Leaf Traits and Tree Architecture.
Philipp Goebes,Helge Bruelheide,Werner Härdtle,Wenzel Kröber,Peter Kühn,Ying Li,Steffen Seitz,Goddert von Oheimb,Thomas Scholten +8 more
TL;DR: The results clearly showed that soil erosion in forest plantations can be mitigated by the appropriate choice of tree species and the role of species identity in mono-specific stands on TKE was highly species-specific.

Root exudate composition of grass and forb species in natural grasslands
TL;DR: This study demonstrated the feasibility of investigating exudates under field conditions and to identify the driving factors of exudate composition, including polar and semi-polar metabolites.
Predicting the spread of an invasive plant: combining experiments and ecological niche model
TL;DR: The results indicate that climatic conditions are currently not limiting the further spread of the species in Europe and North America, and that the potential invasive range of B. davidii is still not completely occupied.

Positive effects of tree species richness on fine-root production in a subtropical forest in SE-China
Zhenkai Sun,Xiaojuan Liu,Xiaojuan Liu,Bernhard Schmid,Helge Bruelheide,Wensheng Bu,Keping Ma +6 more
TL;DR: Positive effects of species richness on the filling of soil volume by fine roots in the studied experimental forest communities has positive effects on fine-root standing biomass and may also lead to increased aboveground biomass.
