- Tree‐to‐tree competition in mixed European beech–Scots pine forests has different impacts on growth and water‐use efficiency depending on site conditions (2018, background): “The beneficial effects of admixing have been shown to provide an overall 25% increase in productivity across forest types (Zhang et al., 2012) and a 12% increase at European scale in Scots pine–European beech mixtures (Pretzsch et al.”
- The greater resilience of mixed forests to drought mainly depends on their composition: Analysis along a climate gradient across Europe (2021, background): “, 2017) or even increase such productivity (Jucker et al. 2014; Zhang et al. 2012; Forrester 2014; Pretzsch 2017; Jactel et al. 2018).”
- Aboveground carbon storage is driven by functional trait composition and stand structural attributes rather than biodiversity in temperate mixed forests recovering from disturbances (2018, background): “…functional trait diversity can enhance ecosystem functions, and hence biomass productivity increases through resource-use efficiency by component species or interacting individuals due to the niche partitioning and/or facilitation (Tilman et al. 1997; Zhang et al. 2012; Forrester and Bauhus 2016).”
- Mixture reduces climate sensitivity of Douglas-fir stem growth (2016, background): “Mixing effects are not a constant phenomenon but depend on developmental stage of a stand (Binkley and Greene, 1983; Zhang et al., 2012) and on site conditions (Toïgo et al., 2014).”
