摘要 Forest structural complexity can mediate the light and water distribution within forest canopies,and has a direct impact on forest biodiversity and carbon storage capability.It is believed that increases in forest structural complexity can enhance tree species diversity and forest productivity,but inconsistent relationships among them have been reported.Here,we quantified forest structural complexity in three aspects(i.e.,horizontal,vertical,and internal structural complexity)from unmanned aerial vehicle light detection and ranging data,and investigated their correlations with tree species diversity and forest productivity by incorporating field measurements in three forest biomes with large latitude gradients in China.Our results show that internal structural complexity had a stronger correlation(correlation coefficient=0.85)with tree species richness than horizontal structural complexity(correlation coefficient=-0.16)and vertical structural complexity(correlation coefficient=0.61),and it was the only forest structural complexity attribute having significant correlations with both tree species richness and tree species evenness.A strong scale effect was observed in the correlations among forest structural complexity,tree species diversity,and forest productivity.Moreover,forest internal structural complexity had a tight positive coordinated contribution with tree species diversity to forest productivity through structure equation model analysis,while horizontal and vertical structural complexity attributes have insignificant or weaker coordinated effects than internal structural complexity,which indicated that the neglect of forest internal structural complexity might partially lead to the current inconsistent observations among forest structural complexity,tree species diversity,and forest productivity.The results of this study can provide a new angle to understand the observed inconsistent correlations among forest structural complexity,tree species diversity,and forest productivity.
