Tree and stand light use efficiencies over a full rotation of single- and mixed-species Eucalyptus grandis and Acacia mangium plantations (2013, background): “…of tree diversity on forest productivity, especially with N-fixing species, the advantages gained through complementarity or facilitation processes are sometimes counterbalanced by competition for light, water, or nutrient resources (Khanna, 1998; Forrester et al., 2005; Cardinale et al., 2007).”
Mixed-species plantations of Eucalyptus with nitrogen-fixing trees: A review (2006, background): “On the scale of trees and stands, Binkley et al. (1992) and Forrester et al. (2005b) found that E. saligna and E. globulus were more efficient in their N and P use than F. moluccana and A. mearnsii, respectively (where efficiency was estimated as aboveground biomass increment per unit nutrient in…”
Dominance of legume trees alters nutrient relations in mixed species forest restoration plantings within seven years (2008, background): “…diversity (Hiremath and Ewel 2001), especially on infertile sites where functionally diverse mixtures may be more likely to attain higher degrees of acquisition and retention of ecosystem nutrients than homogeneous plant communities (Rothe and Binkley 2001; Güsewell 2004; Forrester et al. 2005a).”
Growth, productivity, aboveground biomass, and carbon sequestration of pure and mixed native tree plantations in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica (2006, background): “Due to a limitation in the number of studies on mixtures, it is difficult to accurately predict success of mixed-species combinations and sites, especially with regards to growth dynamics (Forrester et al., 2005).”
Planted Forests and Biodiversity (2006, background): “Where these conditions are met, as in some (though not all) studies involving two-species mixtures that included nitrogen-fixing trees on N-limited sites, increased biomass yields have been observed (Khanna 1997, Parrotta 1999, Binkley et al. 2003, Forrester et al. 2005).”
Potential synergies between existing multilateral environmental agreements in the implementation of land use, land-use change and forestry activities (2007, background): “For example, interplanting a nitrogen-fixing species with a non-N-fixing species can increase total biomass, reduce fertiliser requirements, and increase biodiversity compared with a monoculture of the non-N-fixing species (e.g. Forrester et al., 2005a,b).”
Establishment of native tropical timber trees in monoculture and mixed-species plantations: Small-scale effects on tree performance and insect herbivory (2011, background): “…evels may occur as a consequence of individual responses to nvironmental conditions, and complementary and competitive nteractions in both intra- and interspecific terms may depend n the interactions of several growth resources and site variables Forrester et al., 2005; Rothe and Binkley, 2001).”
