Age-Related Changes in Tree Growth and Functional Biology: The Role of Reproduction (2011, background): “Several studies have reported values of a ~ 2 (Studies reporting exponents in the range of 1.7–2.2 include: Peters et al. 1988; Niklas 1993; Hirayama et al. 2004), and this value has been widely assumed in forest simulation models (Pacala et al. 1993), and in analyses of propagule dispersal kernels ”
Regeneration responses to gap size and coarse woody debris within natural disturbance-based silvicultural systems in northeastern Minnesota, USA (2011, background): “Within northern hardwood systems, several genera primarily establish on CWD or exposed mineral soil seedbeds relative to the undisturbed forest floor (e.g., Betula, Picea, and Thuja) (Cornett et al., 2001; Caspersen and Saprunoff, 2005; Shields et al., 2007; Marx and Walters, 2008).”
