Climate Variability's Impact on Forest Seedling Survival Uncovered

Chinese Academy of Sciences

Two new studies by researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed the relative effects of interannual climate variability and density-dependent species interactions on seedling survival in temperate forests.

The studies, published in Ecology and Fundamental Research, use 15 years of data from more than 53,000 seedlings in the Changbai Mountain forest in northeast China.
