Over the past several decades, however, global forests are facing unprecedented pressure from climate change and anthropogenic disturbances, resulting in a high rate of biodiversity loss due to deforestation, fragmentation, and degradation. Determining how to maintain biodiversity is extremely urgent if we want to achieve the aims of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The complex structure, species interaction, heterogenic environment, and regional species pool all affect the spatial and temporal patterns of forest species, but it is still unclear how these effects maintain long-term forest biodiversity as forests undergo rapid variations in habitat features under global change. This reprint includes sixteen published articles related to the dynamics of forest spatial structure, community assembly, forest recovery patterns after disturbance, spatial distribution of species diversity, effects of abiotic and biotic variables on understory species diversity, and above- and below-ground biotic interactions. These studies cover different forest types across varied spatial and temporal scales, as well as different biological groups (plants, birds and microbes). We acknowledge all authors who contributed to this reprint "Maintenance of Forest Biodiversity" of Forests. We hope this reprint can improve our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of forest biodiversity maintenance. 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aEcological science, the Biosphere$2bicssc 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aaboveground biomass 610 $aacoustic indices 610 $aaltitude 610 $aarbuscular mycorrhizal fungi 610 $abeta diversity 610 $abiodiversity monitoring 610 $abiogeography 610 $abiomass allocation 610 $abirds 610 $acanonical correlation analysis 610 $acommunity assembly 610 $acompetitive exclusion 610 $adeciduous broad-leaved forests 610 $adynamic changes 610 $aenvironmental variables 610 $aforest management 610 $afunctional richness 610 $afunctional trait 610 $agap size 610 $aGodron stability 610 $ahabitat filtering 610 $aHainan island 610 $ainfluence 610 $ainterspecific association 610 $ainterspecific competition 610 $aintra- and interspecific interactions 610 $aintraspecific competition 610 $alitter decomposition 610 $amicroenvironment 610 $amortality process 610 $amulti-site generalized dissimilarity modeling 610 $anatural mixed forests 610 $anatural regeneration 610 $anet relatedness index 610 $aniche theory 610 $anonstructural carbohydrates 610 $anovel approach 610 $anutrient release 610 $aobject-based image analysis 610 $aphylogenetic signal 610 $aplant diversity 610 $aPLFA analysis 610 $aprecipitation 610 $arecruitment process 610 $aregression dominant species 610 $areplacement 610 $arichness 610 $aroot system characteristics 610 $aroot-soil-microbial interactions 610 $aseedling age 610 $aseedling bank 610 $asoil available phosphorus 610 $asoil chemical elements 610 $asoil chemical property 610 $asoil depth layer 610 $asoil microbe 610 $asoil nutrients 610 $asoil pH 610 $asoil water content 610 $asoundscape ecology 610 $aspatial distribution 610 $aspatial structure parameters 610 $aspecies diversity 610 $aspectrograms 610 $astand structural characteristic 610 $astand structure 610 $asubtropical evergreen broadleaved forest 610 $atemperature 610 $athe Sankey diagram 610 $athe southern Taihang Mountains 610 $atropical monsoonal forest 610 $aunderstory vegetation 610 $aurban forests 610 $a?-diversity 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aEcological science, the Biosphere 615 7$aResearch & information: general 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911053219303321 996 $aMaintenance of Forest Biodiversity$94525342 997 $aUNINA
