Response of sugar maple (Acer saccharum, Marsh.) tree crown structure to competition in pure versus mixed stands (2016, result): “(Thorpe et al., 2010).”
Influence of competition and age on tree growth in structurally complex old-growth forests in northern Minnesota, USA (2013, methodology): “To evaluate the optimum search radius, we analyzed radii at every 1 m from 5 m to the 10 m maximum (the width of the buffer area around the core plot), which is a commonly assumed neighborhood size for north temperate and boreal Pinus species (e.g., Thorpe et al., 2010).”
Crown plasticity enables trees to optimize canopy packing in mixed-species forests (2015, background): “Crown architecture is a highly plastic trait, and trees are known to adjust the shape and size of their crowns in response to competition with neighbours (Thorpe et al. 2010; Vieilledent et al. 2010; Seidel et al. 2011a).”
Diversity and competition influence tree allometric relationships – developing functions for mixed‐species forests (2017, background): “Therefore, interspecific interactions can modify tree allometric relationships and in some cases the predicted variable can differ by more than 100%, for a given diameter (Getzin & Wiegand 2007; Laclau et al. 2008; Thorpe et al. 2010; Bayer, Seifert & Pretzsch 2013; Metz et al. 2013; Barbeito, Colle”
