Growth responses of neotropical trees to logging gaps (2010, background): “…within subcanopy layers that results from logging gaps will boost tree growth (positive l), given that light is probably the most limiting factor affecting tree growth in tropical rainforests (Chazdon & Fetcher 1984; Denslow 1987; Bloor & Grubb 2003; King et al. 2005; Poorter et al. 2005).”
On the link between functional traits and growth rate: meta‐analysis shows effects change with plant size, as predicted (2016, background): “…1996 LopezIglesias et al 2014 Wright & Westoby 1999 Warren & Adams 2005 Walters & Reich 1996 Paz et al 2005 Osunkoya et al 2010 Kruger Volin 2006 Bloor & Grubb 2003 Baraloto et al 2006 Augspurger 1984 Cai et al 2007 Baraloto et al 2005 Lusk et al 1997 Quero et al 2008 Saverimuttu & Westoby…”
A greater range of shade‐tolerance niches in nutrient‐rich forests: an explanation for positive richness–productivity relationships? (2009, background): “Light is usually considered as the principal resource limiting seedling growth in forest understoreys (Osunkoya et al. 1993; Bloor & Grubb 2003) and our analyses indicate this to be the case in the alluvial forests – average growth rate under typical understorey conditions was reduced to 41% of…”
Seed–seedling allometry in tropical rain forest trees: seed mass‐related patterns of resource allocation and the ‘reserve effect’ (2004, background): “Further, Bloor & Grubb (2003) found that although RGR was negatively correlated with seed mass among Australian rain forest seedlings grown in 0.8% sunlight, there was no relationship between RGR and seedling mortality.”
Colonization, tolerance, competition and seed-size variation within functional groups (2003, background): “Survival of ‘tolerant species’ in shade is not related to seed mass after one year [21, 37 ]”
Community assembly and shifts in plant trait distributions across an environmental gradient in coastal California (2009, background): “Leaf economics traits have been shown to strongly affect plant growth rate in different conditions (Coley 1988, Poorter 1999, Walters and Reich 1999, Bloor and Grubb 2003, Poorter and Bongers 2006), and trade-offs in performance (Sack and Grubb 2001) suggest that different leaf traits are optimal…”
Disentangling above‐ and below‐ground competition between lianas and trees in a tropical forest (2005, background): “Kitajima 1994; Bongers & Sterck 1998; Bloor & Grubb 2003; Poorter et al . 2004a; but see Pearson Correspondence: Stefan A. Schnitzer (tel.”
Sapling size influences shade tolerance ranking among southern boreal tree species (2006, background): “they conserve metabolic structure), higher relative growth rates and higher respiration under all environmental conditions, and lower allocation to roots than more shade-tolerant species (Lei & Lechowicz 1990; Messier et al. 1999; Coomes & Grubb 2000; Bloor & Grubb 2003; Lusk 2004).”
Seed mass, seedling size and neotropical tree seedling establishment (2005, background): “However, smaller-seeded species tend to have higher potential growth rates and thus may outgrow seedlings from larger seeds, especially when resources are not limiting (Grime & Hunt 1974; Gross 1984; Maranon & Grubb 1993; Swanborough & Westoby 1996; Bloor & Grubb 2003).”
The hare, the tortoise and the crocodile: the ecology of angiosperm dominance, conifer persistence and fern filtering (2005, unknown): “The difference in light transmission among vegetation types (from ∼1% of incoming PAR on the alluvial forest floor to ∼5% of incoming PAR in terrace forests) is sufficient to have profound effects on seedling survival (Osunkoya et al. 1993; Kobe et al. 1995; Coomes & Grubb 1996; Bloor & Grubb 2003).”
