- Emergent crowns and light-use complementarity lead to global maximum biomass and leaf area in Sequoia sempervirens forests (2016, methodology): “Our approach to quantifying aboveground attributes of standing trees via crown mapping, hierarchical sampling, and subsequent dissections for biomass was developed during studies of several tall species (Van Pelt et al., 2004; Van Pelt and Sillett, 2008; Sillett et al., 2010, 2015a,b).”
- Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “8 m, with a plausible historic record of 114 m; Koch, Sillett, Antoine, & Williams, 2015; Mifsud, 2003) and the world’s tallest living tree, a Sequoia sempervirens (115.6 m; Sillett et al., 2010).”
- Age‐related decline of stand biomass accumulation is primarily due to mortality and not to reduction in NPP associated with individual tree physiology, tree growth or stand structure in a Quercus‐dominated forest (2012, background): “nutrient, water) physiological constraints on photosynthesis, which can reduce tree growth (see reviews of (Bond 2000; Niinemets 2002), appeared common, but increasing AGB growth in older trees has also been observed (Johnson &Abrams 2009; Sillett et al. 2010).”
- Manual for building tree volume and biomass allometric equations: from field measurement to prediction (2012, unknown): “It should be noted that when dealing with very large trees, for which it is almost impossible to measure biomass directly, the stem profile approach is a relevant alternative (Van Pelt, 2001; Dean et al., 2003; Dean, 2003; Dean & Roxburgh, 2006; Sillett et al., 2010).”
