- Tamm Review: On the strength of evidence when comparing ecosystem functions of mixtures with monocultures (2015, methodology): “…the transpiration peak of a given species can change depending on whether it is in a monoculture or mixture, and in some cases the ranking of mixtures and monocultures or of different species in the mixture can actually reverse depending on the season (Forrester et al., 2010b; Kunert et al., 2012).”
- Species mixing reduces drought susceptibility of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and oak (Quercus robur L., Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) – Site water supply and fertility modify the mixing effect (2020, background): “Furthermore, spatial stratification of mixed tree species, due to differences in root distribution, architecture or activity, have been shown to improve the exploitation of underground water resources (Schume et al., 2004; Forrester et al., 2010; Schwendenmann et al., 2014).”
- Growing Plantation Forests (2010, background): “Forrester et al. (2010a) have reviewed the relationships between plantation growth and silvicultural practice, with particular reference to eucalypt plantations; much of what they say will apply equally to other plantation species.”
- Drought responses by individual tree species are not often correlated with tree species diversity in European forests (2016, unknown): “…mixing effect for any species (Moore, Bond & Jones 2011; Grossiord et al. 2013), in others each species may have greater transpiration per tree (Forrester et al. 2010; Kunert et al. 2012), and in others some species may have greater transpiration or interception of precipitation at the expense…”
- Contrasting growth and water use strategies in four co-occurring Mediterranean tree species revealed by concurrent measurements of sap flow and stem diameter variations (2015, background): “…relative variability is 85 conveniently encapsulated in water use efficiency (WUE), the ratio between 86 productivity and water use (Jones 1992), where productivity can be expressed in terms 87 of basal area increment (BAI) (Bréda and Granier 1996) or biomass production 88 (Forrester et al. 2010).”
- Species interactions increase the temporal stability of community productivity in Pinus sylvestris–Fagus sylvatica mixtures across Europe (2017, unknown): “The seasonality of resource-use by a given species can also be modified by mixing, as shown for transpiration and light (Forrester et al. 2010; Sapijanskas et al. 2014).”
- Tree diversity enhances tree transpiration in a Panamanian forest plantation (2012, background): “However, whether the increase in water consumption is proportional to biomass increase and whether this relationship changes with increasing tree diversity is unclear (Forrester et al. 2010).”
- Suitability of close-to-nature silviculture for adapting temperate European forests to climate change (2014, background): “Several studies have found higher water use of the tree layer in mixture when compared with monocultures of the same species (Schume et al., 2004; Anders et al., 2006; Forrester et al., 2010).”
- Partitioning of net primary production in Eucalyptus and Acacia stands and in mixed-species plantations: Two case-studies in contrasting tropical environments (2013, background): “, 2012) that may enhance gross primary production but also water use (Forrester et al., 2010).”
