• Principles of Natural Regeneration of Tropical Dry Forests for Restoration (2006, methodology): “McLaren and McDonald (2003c) cut stems 2 cm (diameter at breast height [dbh]) at 50 cm in height, and 14 months later they verified coppice shoots in 48 of the 51 sampled species (81% average).”
• Comparative resprouting response of Savanna woody plant species following harvesting: the value of persistence (2006, result): “Our results support previous findings (Shackleton, 2000, 2001; McLaren and McDonald, 2003; Kaschula et al., 2005) that Savanna woody plants are vigorous resprouters and that well-managed resprout production represents a valuable fuelwood resource.”
• Forest Regeneration from Pasture in the Dry Tropics of Panama: Effects of Cattle, Exotic Grass, and Forested Riparia (2009, background): “Coppicing is the primary mechanism of regeneration within abandoned pasturelands of dry forest regions (Ewel 1980; Murphy & Lugo 1986; Russell-Smith 1996; Kennard 2002; McLaren & McDonald 2003; Vieira & Scariot 2006).”
