• Plant CO2 responses: an issue of definition, time and resource supply. (2006, background): “(c) The Swiss treeline FACE, where isolated trees (expanding canopy) are growing under strong below ground competition with a steady state dwarf shrub heath (Handa et al., 2005).”
• Fast replenishment of initial carbon stores after defoliation by the pine processionary moth and its relationship to the re-growth ability of trees (2012, unknown): “For pine trees, removal of up to 80 % of leaves has been shown to have no significant impact on the lateral branch growth of trees (Handa et al. 2005).”
• Species‐specific tree growth responses to 9 years of CO2 enrichment at the alpine treeline (2010, background): “…responsiveness for the two species could not be explained by the photosynthetic response, as both Larix andPinus experienced strong photosynthetic stimulation in the first 3-treatment years (Handa et al. 2005) that persisted in the final year of CO2 enrichment (K. Streit, personal communication).”
• A test of the growth-limitation theory for alpine tree line formation in evergreen and deciduous taxa of the eastern Himalayas (2008, unknown): “This contrasts responses of (c. 35-years-old) L. decidua in the European Alps which showed enhanced radial stem growth and annual shoot increment in response to 4 years of free air CO2 enrichment at tree line (Handa et al. 2005, 2006).”
• Growth and phenology of mature temperate forest trees in elevated CO2 (2006, background): “…arise from pronounced interspecific variation (i.e. species responded very differently to elevated CO2 for unknown reasons (Norby, 1996; Körner, 2000; Tangley, 2001; Craine et al., 2003; Handa et al., 2005, Körner, 2005)), and even genotypic differences are possible (Wang et al., 2000).”
• Tree species diversity affects canopy leaf temperatures in a mature temperate forest (2007, background): “2, Table 1 and Keel et al., 2007; Sellin and Kupper, 2004; Handa et al., 2005; Willert et al., 1995).”
