Can plantations develop understory biological and physical attributes of naturally regenerated forests (2008, methodology): “Information on species ecological traits was obtained from the TOPIQ data base (Traits Of Plants In Quebec, see Aubin et al., 2007).”
Conserving Pollinators in North American Forests: A Review (2016, background): “…and spread of these species may be facilitated by reductions in tree and shrub cover (Jenkins and Parker 2000; Dodson and Fiedler 2006; Aubin et al. 2007; Shields and Webster 2007; Burke et al. 2008; Hausman et al. 2010) as a result of increased resource availability (e.g., light) and…”
Understory abundance, species diversity and functional attribute response to thinning in coniferous stands (2010, background): “, the value and range of functional traits of the rganisms present in an ecosystem—may be more relevant than pecies richness for ecosystem functioning (Diaz and Cabido, 001; Aubin et al., 2007; Voigt et al., 2007).”
