Linking forest growth with stand structure: Tree size inequality, tree growth or resource partitioning and the asymmetry of competition
DI Forrester - Forest Ecology and Management, 2019 - Elsevier
Stand structure can strongly influence forest growth and other processes, such as the water
balance, carbon partitioning, nutrient cycling and light dynamics. However, individual …

Neighbourhood interactions drive overyielding in mixed-species tree communities
Abstract Theory suggests that plant interactions at the neighbourhood scale play a
fundamental role in regulating biodiversity–productivity relationships (BPRs) in tree …

Tree‐to‐tree competition in mixed European beech–Scots pine forests has different impacts on growth and water‐use efficiency depending on site conditions
Mixed conifer–hardwood forests can be more productive than pure forests and they are
increasingly considered as ecosystems that could provide adaptation strategies in the face …

Effect of forest structure on stand productivity in Central European forests depends on developmental stage and tree species diversity
L Zeller, H Pretzsch - Forest Ecology and Management, 2019 - Elsevier
Recently, many studies have found positive biodiversity–productivity relationships in forests.
In contrast, different types of correlations have been identified in the analyses of tree …

The effect of species diversity on tree growth varies during forest succession in the boreal forest of central Canada
Although major advances have demonstrated that species diversity has a general positive
effect on forest ecosystem productivity, some studies report negligible or even negative …

Inter-specific tolerance to recurrent droughts of pine species revealed in saplings rather than adult trees
Understanding species' tolerance to recurrent extreme droughts is key to predict species'
performance and forest dynamics under ongoing climate change. Inter-specific differences …

Evaluating tree-to-tree competition during stand development in a relict Scots pine forest: how much does climate matter?
Key message Competitive interactions change over time and their influence on tree growth
is intensified during drought events in marginal Scots pine populations. Abstract Competition …

Are pine-oak mixed stands in Mediterranean mountains more resilient to drought than their monospecific counterparts?
Climate change projections point to an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme
drought events with important negative impacts on forest functioning. Predicting these …
