ABSTRACT As the climax community of karst in southwest China without human disturbance, mechanisms through which biodiversity maintains ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) evergreen and deciduous broad‐leaved mixed forest are still unclear. This study employed structural equation modeling to analyze correlations between EMF three key variables: plant diversity, soil microbial rock exposure ratio within this forest. Plant diversity were main biotic drivers EMF. Within these factors, provided a preferable explanation for compared with fungal co‐occurrence network complexity playing dominant roles. Functional, species, phylogenetic indices explain changes better than community‐weighted mean traits, indicating that niche complementarity hypothesis holds greater relevance explaining biodiversity‐maintenance mechanism Moreover, directly affects as well indirectly diversity. Collectively, account 87% variability Specifically, its exerted positive direct impact on EMF, while bacterial mainly affected by positively contributing complexity. These findings emphasized significance comprehensive protection aboveground underground have strengthened our comprehension forests.

Karst desertification control forests are essential for ecosystem multi functionality, but the trade-offs/synergies unclear forest services. In order to clarify trade-offs/synergies, this study was conducted on eight communities in a karst area and based vegetation surveys structural functional monitoring. It analyzes water holding capacity, species diversity, soil conservation, carbon storage characteristics their trade-off/synergies. The results indicate following: (1) Cladrastis platycarpa + Cotinus coggygria community (H1) had highest capacity diversity with values of 252.21 t·hm-2 2.56, respectively. Soil conservation Zanthoxylum bungeanum Glycine max (H6), an index value 1.56. Carbon greatest Tectona grandis (H8), at 103.93 t·hm-2. these studies have shown that there significant differences different types (2) Water storage, all synergistic relationships, suggesting trend towards enhancement between (3) ecosystems be trade-off which suggests services competition each other. To further improve service ecosystems, trade-offs regulation structure function improvement should optimized.

In recent years, after the implementation of large-scale ecological restoration projects, karst areas in South China Karst have become global “greening” hot spots. However, biodiversity, ecosystem quality, and security patterns are still severely affected. The reason for this is that despite execution desertification control lag mechanism forest functions services unclear. Therefore, we analyze progress research related to improvement regional function through a systematic literature review approach. results show major landmarks achieved so far include following aspects: based on area, elucidated driving factors change, discovered pattern landscape optimization reconstruction, revealed internal system structure stability enhancement, overcome technical constraints water–fertilizer coupling, introduced strategy regulating functional traits improve growth development vegetation, proposed strategies enhance carbon sequestration forests efficiency microbial use, created models paths realize value products. key scientific issues be addressed future mainly comprise following: effects spatial heterogeneity ecosystems, disturbances reconfiguration caused by human activities, work mechanisms combination configuration niche structural optimization, response species water cycle, coupled relationship between biodiversity soil properties, screening construction plant germplasm resource base, trade-offs/synergistic creation policies product terms rights, trading, compensation, extended industrial chain its service potential, on.

Accurate measurements of parameters related to carbon stock are crucial for evaluating the potential regional forest ecosystems sequester and implement enhanced sequestration. This study analysed differences in biomass content (CC) among fourteen types assessed capacity carbon, using karst typical central Guizhou Province as an example. The results showed that: 1) arbor layer was dominant component biomass, accounting more than 66% total biomass; 2) CC branches slightly higher that leaves stems, ranged from 37.79% 48.90%, with having highest average CC; 3) vegetation each type differed significantly default value common research, adoption fixed values may result errors estimation; 4) ecosystem had density 187.78 t/hm2, maintained a level pooling soil.
