Beyond the regeneration phase: differentiation of height–light trajectories among tropical tree species (2005, background): “2b, cf. Lieberman et al. 1995; Bongers & Sterck 1998; Davies et al. 1998; Poorter & Arets 2003).”
Scaling from individual trees to forests in an Earth system modeling framework using a mathematically tractable model of height-structured competition (2015, background): “…in our simulations (which assume homogeneous light conditions within each understory layer) than in real forests, where saplings of shade-intolerant species tend to occur in unusually bright understory locations (Clark and Clark, 1992; Davies, 2001; Poorter and Arets, 2003; Lichstein et al., 2010).”
A calibration method for the crown illumination index for assessing forest light environments (2007, background): “001) and DSF (Poorter and Arets, 2003) where estimates were not available for all CII classes (Table 2).”
Carbohydrate storage enhances seedling shade and stress tolerance in a neotropical forest (2007, background): “Shade tolerance determines not only whether a species can establish in a given light environment (Poorter & Arets 2003), but also its life-history strategy and position along the growth–survival trade-off continuum (Hubbell & Foster 1992; Kobe et al .”
Response of recruitment to light availability across a tropical lowland rain forest community (2009, background): “…by either focusing on a small number of species (e.g. Brown & Whitmore 1992; Clark & Clark 1992; Van der Meer, Sterck & Bongers 1998; Svenning 2000; Poorter & Arets 2003; Uriarte et al. 2005; Queenborough et al. 2007), grouping species into broad growth form classes (Dupuy &Chazdon 2006), or using…”
Ontogenetic variation in light requirements of juvenile rainforest evergreens (2008, result): “The allometry of juvenile trees is often inconsistent with the latter of Givnish’s arguments ( Niklas 1995; Lusk et al. 2006b), and we are not aware of empirical tests of the hypothesized increase in compensation points.”
