• Dendroecological investigations on Swietenia macrophylla King and Cedrela odorata L. (Meliaceae) in the central Amazon (2003, background): “Moreover, the intrinsic regulation of cambial growth has also to be taken into account ( Savidge 2000 ).”
• Sapling communities in Amazonian white‐water forests (2003, background): “For low-várzea trees, many physiological, morphological and anatomical adaptations to flooding were described, such as phenological responses (Wittmann & Parolin, 1999; Parolin et al., 2002b; Schöngart et al., 2002), reductions of the photosynthetic activity during the aquatic phase (Parolin, 1998, ”
• Tree growth rates in north Australian savanna habitats: seasonal patterns and correlations with leaf attributes (2004, background): “By contrast, Schöngart et al. (2002) reported that in a Venezuelan semi-deciduous forest, diameter growth occurred during 9-10 months of the year, and this may reflect the shorter, less severe dry season experienced in Venezuela.”
• Tree species composition and diversity gradients in white‐water forests across the Amazon Basin (2006, background): “…mechanism is a reduced metabolism during the aquatic phase, which often triggers tree phenology and leads to periodic reduced wood increment in many floodplain trees, resulting in the formation of annual growth rings in the wood (Worbes, 1989, 1997; Schöngart et al., 2002; Schöngart, 2003).”
• Flooding tolerance of Calophyllum brasiliense Camb. (Clusiaceae): morphological, physiological and growth responses (2010, background): “Despite unfavorable conditions, several studies show that flooding does not completely impede physiological processes, as some evergreen tree species are photosynthetically active while others flush new leaves during the flood period or produce flowers and fruits (Worbes 1997; Schöngart et al. 2002)”
• Cambial growth dynamics and climatic control of different tree life forms in tropical mountain forest in Ethiopia (2011, background): “During recent years, a number of studies from different regions successfully detected annual growth cyclicity in tropical tree species (Worbes 1999; Biondi 2001; Schöngart et al. 2002; Brienen and Zuidema 2006; Bräuning et al. 2008).”
• Slow‐growing species cope best with drought: evidence from long‐term measurements in a tropical semi‐deciduous moist forest of Central Africa (2013, background): “The fast-growing species in group G7 are mostly deciduous and large, leaf fall being a drought avoidance strategy during the dry season (Worbes 1999; Sch€ongart et al. 2002) that offsets the increased drought sensitivity due to their size (Condit, Hubbell & Foster 1995; Van Nieuwstadt & Sheil 2005;…”
