Ecology of Central European Forests: Vegetation Ecology of Central Europe, Volume I (2017, background): “In any case, forest productivity appears to depend more on the identity of the tree species present and their characteristics than on the number of tree species (Szwagrzyk and Gazda 2007; Jacob et al. 2010a).”
The relationship between tree species richness, canopy space exploration and productivity in a temperate broad-leaf mixed forest (2013, background): “Furthermore, negative relationships between tree species richness and standing biomass have also been reported (e.g. Chen and Klinka, 2003; DeClerck et al., 2005; Szwagrzyk and Gazda, 2007; Ruiz-Jaen and Potvin, 2011).”
Relationships between tree species diversity and above-ground biomass in Central African rainforests: implications for REDD (2013, background): “However, it is difficult to examine these relationships in complex ecosystems such as tropical forests, and there is still considerable debate regarding the extent of the relationship between biomass and diversity within forest ecosystems (Szwagrzyk & Gazda 2007; Talbot 2010; Thompson et al. 2012).”
Characterization of the structure, dynamics, and productivity of mixed-species stands: review and perspectives (2015, background): “However, only a few other studies have analysed the influence of species evenness and richness on stand growth or productivity (Liang et al. 2007; Szwagrzyk and Gazda 2007; Lei et al. 2009).”
Stand structural diversity rather than species diversity enhancesaboveground carbon storage in secondary subtropical forests in Eastern China (2016, background): “On the other hand, the direct relationships between species diversity and aboveground biomass or C, have been reported to be either positive (Dayamba et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2011), negative (Szwagrzyk and Gazda, 2007), or insignificant (Vilà et al., 2003).”
Above‐ground biomass is driven by mass‐ratio effects and stand structural attributes in a temperate deciduous forest (2018, background): “Two additional studies conducted in temperate forests showed higher productivity in near- monocultures of A. saccharum (Fahey et al., 2015) and pure stands of Fagus sylvatica (Szwagrzyk & Gazda, 2007), further supporting our finding of higher AGB in these uneven communities.”
