“…The natural evergreen broad-leaved forest on Ailao Mountains has remained relatively undisturbed by human influences due to poor access. Furthermore, it is particularly interesting as it represents a location close to a sequence of forest vegetation from coastal lowlands to high mountains (Wu, 1987;Tagawa, 1997;Qiu et al, 1998). It thereby provided an opportunity to study and understand the changes in nutrient input-output budgets in natural moist evergreen broad-leaved forest on a subtropical mountain.…”

Abstract:Hydrological fluxes and associated nutrient budget were studied during a 2 year period (1998-99) in a montane moist evergreen broad-leaved forest at Ailao Mountain, Yunnan. Water samples of rainfall, throughfall, and stemflow, and of surface runoff, soil water, and stream flow were collected bimonthly to determine the concentration and fluxes of nutrients. Soil budgets were determined from the difference between precipitation input (including nutrient leaching from canopy) and output via runoff and drainage.The forest was characterized by low canopy interception and surface runoff, and high percolation and stream flow. Concentrations of nutrients were increased in throughfall and stemflow compared with precipitation. Surface runoff and drainage water had higher nutrient concentrations than precipitation and stream water. Total nitrogen and NH 4 C -N concentrations were higher in soil water than stream water, whereas K C , Ca 2C , and Mg 2C concentrations were lower in the former than the latter. Annual nutrient fluxes decreased with soil depth following the pattern of water flux. Annual losses of most nutrient elements via stream flow were less than the corresponding inputs via throughfall and stemflow, except for calcium, for which solute loss was greater than the inputs via precipitation. Leaching losses of that element may be compensated by weathering. Losses of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sodium, and sulphur could be replaced through atmospheric inputs.

“…However, cynipid wasps associated with the subgenus Cyclobalanopsis of the genus Quercus and the genera Castanopsis, Chrysolepis, and Lithocarpus, all of which are evergreen trees, have been described from Japan and Taiwan one after another in recent years (Ide et al , 2012Abe et al 2011;Melika et al 2011;Tang et al 2011a,b;current study). The wide distribution of evergreen trees of Fagaceae in evergreen forests of East, South, and Southeast Asia (Tagawa 1997) probably supports a rich fauna of Cynipidae including gall inducers and inquilines.…”

ABSTBACT Two new species of Dryocosmus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Cynipini), D. sefuriensis Ide, Wachi et Abe, sp. nov. and D. sakureiensis Ide, Wachi et Abe, sp. nov., are described from Japan. A key to species of Dryocosmus in East Asia is given. Although the members of Dryocosmus have been known to induce galls on the subgenus Quercus of the genus Quercus and the genera Castanea, Castanopsis, Chrysolepis, and Lithocarpus of Fagaceae, this is the first record of this gall wasp genus from the strictly Asian subgenus Cyclobalanopsis of the genus Quercus. The discovery of two new species of Dryocosmus associated with Q. (C.) acuta suggests the exceptionally diverse host range of Dryocosmus and the species richness of Cynipini on this plant subgenus in Asia.
