Tree species traits but not diversity mitigate stem breakage in a subtropical forest following a rare and extreme ice storm.
Future climates are likely to include extreme events, which in turn have great impacts on ecological systems. In this study, we investigated possible effects that could mitigate stem breakage caused by a rare and extreme ice storm in a Chinese subtropical forest across a gradient of forest diversity...
