• Influence of light availability on growth, leaf morphology and plant architecture of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) and ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) saplings (2008, background): “Higher specific leaf area under shadier conditions increases the efficiency of light interception by maximizing the leaf area per unit leaf biomass (Walters et al. 1993; Minotta and Pinzauti 1996; Niinemets 1996; Bartelink 1997; Beaudet and Messier 1998; Niinemets and Kull 1998; Messier and Nikinmaa”
• Effects of shade on growth and mortality of maple (Acer pseudoplatanus), ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) saplings (2007, methodology): “…the last 15 years ( Kobe et al. , 1995 ; Pacala et al. , 1996 ; Kobe and Coates, 1997 ; Lin et al. , 2001 , 2002 , 2004 ; Delagrange et al. , 2004 ; Kunstler et al. , 2005 ; Kneeshaw et al. , 2006 ), we used low-light survival and high-light length growth to determine shade tolerance of young…”
• Height competition between Quercus petraea and Fagus sylvatica natural regeneration in mixed and uneven-aged stands (2013, background): “Similarly to other studies (Kunstler et al., 2005; Pacala et al., 1994; Petritan et al., 2007; Stancioiu and O’Hara, 2006; Wagner et al., 2010), height growth of saplings (iH) was modelled with a non-linear saturated relationship with PACL, which meant that growth increased at an increasing rate…”
• Shedding light on shade: ecological perspectives of understorey plant life (2016, background): “…al. 2006) and by many other factors, so that niche partitioning for light cannot by itself explain the coexistence of many species (see, for example, the case of the common European deciduous trees Fagus sylvatica and Quercus pubescens in sub-Mediterranean forests (Kunstler et al. 2005)).”
