Characterization of the structure, dynamics, and productivity of mixed-species stands: review and perspectives (2015, background): “However, studies on this topic based on experimental data are still scarce (Scherer-Lorenzen et al. 2007; Drössler et al. 2015).”
Competition for light and water play contrasting roles in driving diversity–productivity relationships in Iberian forests (2014, background): “However, the fact that species compete for multiple resources complicates matters, as they might exhibit complementary use of one resource but not another (Scherer-Lorenzen et al. 2007; Forrester 2014).”
No evidence of spatial root system segregation and elevated fine root biomass in multi-species temperate broad-leaved forests (2009, background): “This is especially true for temperate forests, which only recently have been included in the search for the ecological functions of biodiversity ( Scherer-Lorenzen et al. 2007 ).”
TRIAD zoning in Quebec: Experiences and results after 5 years (2009, background): “While very few biodiversity experiments using trees exist in the world (Caspersen et Pacala 2001, Balvanera et al. 2006, Scherer-Lorenzen et al. 2007), the “Lac-aux-Brochets” experiment is the only one in the mixed-wood boreal forest of north America, and the only one using fast-growing,…”
Synthesis and future research directions linking tree diversity to growth, survival, and damage in a global network of tree diversity experiments (2018, unknown): “, 2017) or functional (Hantsch et al., 2014b; Scherer-Lorenzen et al., 2007; Tobner et al., 2014) diversity, is manipulated.”
Is Tree Species Diversity or Species Identity the More Important Driver of Soil Carbon Stocks, C/N Ratio, and pH? (2016, background): “…provide higher soil 51 carbon stocks and soil nutrient status (Scherer-Lorenzen et al., 2007b; Nadrowski et al., 2010) and whether 52 these functions increase with diversity or just level off within mixtures of two or three tree species (Schwartz 53 et al., 2000; Scherer-Lorenzen et al., 2007b).”
