Characterization of the structure, dynamics, and productivity of mixed-species stands: review and perspectives (2015, methodology): “…size heterogeneity, such as the size differentiation index proposed by Füldner (1995), the Gini coefficient (de Camino 1976) or the Shannon index applied to tree sizes, have been employed to relate size heterogeneity to stand dynamics (Liang et al. 2007; Lei et al. 2009; Varga et al. 2005).”
Is forest diversity driving ecosystem function and service (2010, methodology): “The following literature was used: biota community property: [14,15 ,16–23,27 ,29], resistance to herbivory [25,26,27 ,28,29], invasion resistance [24], production [30,32 ,33,34 ,35,40,43], survival [32 ,34 ,40] recruitment [25,40], litter production [31,44], root biomass [22,45], soil C [46], eleme”
Relationships between stand growth and structural diversity in spruce-dominated forests in New Brunswick, Canada. (2009, methodology): “Positive relationships between species diversity, production, and growth do not always agreed with each other in studies on forest communities (Caspersen and Pacala 2001; Liang et al. 2007; Vilà et al. 2007).”
