Within-canopy variation in photosynthetic capacity, SLA and foliar N in temperate broad-leaved trees with contrasting shade tolerance (2014, background): “The shade tolerance scores given by Niinemets and Valladares (2006) rank the five species in a similar manner as was already postulated by Liburnau (1918), with F. sylvatica as the most shade-tolerant species (score 4.56), followed by T. cordata (4.18), C. betulus (3.97) and A. pseudoplatanus…”
Urban forest resilience through tree selection—Variation in drought tolerance in Acer (2015, background): “Intermediate values for these criteria were given or the other points on the scale (Niinemets and Valladares, 2006).”
Effects of shade on growth and mortality of maple (Acer pseudoplatanus), ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) saplings (2007, result): “In contrast, by performing a meta-analysis of the published results, Niinemets and Valladares (2006) found a signifi cant negative correlation between shade tolerance and drought tolerance.”
Soil water content and emergence time control seedling establishment in three co-occurring Mediterranean oak species (2008, background): “Thus, with a better phenological match to resource availability and avoidance of waterlogging, seedlings that emerged earlier likely developed root systems more fully, which enabled greater seedling survival during the dry period ( Nicotra et al. 2002 ).”
Seedling root morphology and biomass allocation of 62 tropical tree species in relation to drought‐ and shade‐tolerance (2009, background): “A meta-analysis on 806 woody species from the Northern Hemisphere indeed confirmed this negative relation between drought- and shade-tolerance (Niinemets & Valladares 2006) although it only explained 8% of the variation.”
Seedling Traits Determine Drought Tolerance of Tropical Tree Species (2008, background): “Similar trade-offs have been found for a large set of temperate tree species (Niinemets & Valladares 2006).”
Slow‐growing species cope best with drought: evidence from long‐term measurements in a tropical semi‐deciduous moist forest of Central Africa (2013, background): “However, this latter mechanism remains more theoretical than based on field evidence (Niinemets & Valladares 2006; Engelbrecht et al. 2007; Markesteijn & Poorter 2009), and we concur with Reich et al. (2003) to argue that shade tolerance is a whole-plant strategy with associated traits that enhance…”
Forest structure and species traits mediate projected recruitment declines in western US tree species (2015, methodology): “Niinemets & Valladares (2006) identify five of the species we examined as tolerant to both drought and shade (Arbutus menziesii, Calocedrus decurrens, Lithocarpus densiflorus, Chrysolepis chrysophylla, Quercus emoryi), four of which are found in mixed evergreen forests of CA. Tolerance to both…”
Biological and environmental controls on tree transpiration in a suburban landscape (2010, methodology): “Shade tolerance was assigned according to species rankings in the work of Niinemets and Valladares [2006] .”
Disturbances amplify tree community responses to climate change in the temperate–boreal ecotone (2019, methodology): “As for CTI, a community shade index (CSI) was computed for each plot as the mean of the SSI values weighted by the abundances of the species present in that plot.”
Many ways to die – partitioning tree mortality dynamics in a near‐natural mixed deciduous forest (2013, background): “Of the other species, ash is the least tolerant and hornbeam is intermediately tolerant (Niinemets & Valladares 2006).”
Rapid mortality of Populus tremuloides in southwestern Colorado, USA (2008, background): “77, between very intolerant (1) and intolerant (2) (Niinemets and Valladares, 2006).”
