Allometric equations for tree species and carbon stocks for forests of northwestern Mexico (2009, methodology): “…estimates are similar for trees with diameter of less than 25 cm for equations developed in this study, by Brown (1997) for tropical dry forests worldwide; by Litton et al. (2006) for Psydrax odorata of Hawaii, and by Martı́nez-Yrı́zar et al. (1996) for tropical dry forests of Jalisco, Mexico.”
Allometric equations for aboveground biomass estimation of Olea europaea L. subsp. cuspidata in Mana Angetu Forest (2018, background): “…generalized equations can lead to a bias in estimating biomass for a particular species (Clark et al. 2001; Cairns et al. 2003; Chave et al. 2004; Litton, Sandquist, and Cordell 2006; Pilli, Anfodillo, and Carrer 2006) although recent approaches incorporating data on wood density hold more…”
Minimizing Bias in Biomass Allometry: Model Selection and Log‐Transformation of Data (2011, methodology): “Traditionally, linear models have been fit to log-transformed diameter and biomass data, but the increasing availability of advanced statistical packages has lead to greater use of nonlinear models fit directly to untransformed diameter and biomass data (e.g., Litton et al. 2006).”
Ecosystem Consequences of Biological Invasions (2010, background): “Invasive insect her bivores directly increase litter fluxes and alter the timing of their inputs to soil (Lovett et al. 2002, Stadler et al. 2006).”
Allometric Models for Predicting Aboveground Biomass in Two Widespread Woody Plants in Hawaii (2008, methodology): “A variety of models are purported to provide superior fit for constructing dbh-height curves (e.g., Huang et al. 1992, Fang & Bailey 1998), including the exponential model used here (Meyer 1940).”
Grass invasion of a hardwood forest is associated with declines in belowground carbon pools (2010, background): “…and quantity on belowground processes and properties, and specifically soil C, is an area of debate in soil theory (Bradford et al., 2008c) and are receiving little attention in the context of plant invasions (Hook et al., 2004; Valery et al., 2004; Batten et al., 2005; Litton et al., 2006, 2008).”
Sonoran Desert Ecosystem transformation by a C4 grass without the grass/fire cycle (2012, background): “, 2006, 2008) and ecosystem structure (Litton et al., 2006; Lambrinos, 2000).”
Effects of biological invasions on forest carbon sequestration (2010, background): “Recent studies suggest that ecosystem C stocks are altered by a wide range of invasive organisms including plants (Jackson et al., 2002; Bradley et al., 2006; Litton et al., 2006), earthworms (Frelich et al., 2006), rats (Wardle et al., 2007) and deer (Wardle et al., 2001).”
