Alternative height strategies among 45 dicot rain forest species from tropical Queensland, Australia (2005, background): “Other work has indicated increased lateral spread of similar sized saplings for shorter species in a light gradient (Sterck et al. 2001; Poorter et al. 2003).”
Capturing diversity and interspecific variability in allometries: A hierarchical approach (2008, background): “The effects of the across-species covariates were generally intuitive and consistent with the literature (Aiba and Kohyama, 1997; Ackerly and Donoghue, 1998; Kohyama et al., 2003; Poorter et al., 2006; Sterck et al., 2001)—shade-tolerant species are generally shorter with broad and deep crowns.”
Secondary succession and dipterocarp recruitment in Bornean rain forest after logging (2005, background): “Their growth is usually stimulated in the short-term, i.e. first 3 years (Nicholson, 1979; Silva et al., 1995; Sterck et al., 2001).”
Beyond the regeneration phase: differentiation of height–light trajectories among tropical tree species (2005, background): “They gamble on reaping the future benefits (achieving a higher crown exposure and attaining reproductive size), instead of trying to enhance current light interception (King 1990; Kohyama & Hotta 1990; Sterck et al. 2001; Kohyama et al. 2003).”
Growth and mortality are related to adult tree size in a Malaysian mixed dipterocarp forest (2006, background): “Large-statured species typically have higher growth rates than small species (Vanclay, 1991; Gourlet-Fleury and Houllier, 2000) and higher growth rates have been reported for canopy tree juveniles than for understorey trees (Thomas, 1996a; Sterck et al., 2001), although the latter observations are r”
The role of wood density and stem support costs in the growth and mortality of tropical trees (2006, background): “…height, both within and among species, suggesting that stem diameter growth and crown expansion are co-ordinated to maintain stability (King 1996; Sterck et al. 2001), possibly by means of increased cambial growth along the parts of the trunk periphery experiencing greater stresses during tree…”
