Abstract

Abstract

Rare species is an important group that ensuring species co-existence and biodiversity maintenance in tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems. However, the roles of rare species in regulating biodiversity maintenance and their applications on ecological restoration have been rarely addressed. Based on a thorough literature review in combination with long-term monitoring and observation in Jianfengling National Key Field Research Station, it was proposed that a framework of “rare species regulation mechanism” of natural recovery in tropical and subtropical forests. Moreover, it was also discussed that the application principles of the proposed mechanism on ecological restoration of tropical and subtropical forests in China.
- rare species,
- regulation mechanism,
- nonrandom competition,
- plant-soil tradeoff,
- functional microorganism,
- forest ecological restoration
