Multiple factors modulate tree growth complementarity in Central European mixed forests (2018, background): “The use of large- scale forest inventory data provides suitable alternatives for investigating patterns of complementarity on many mixture types (Condes et al., 2017; Toigo et al., 2015).”
Species mixing reduces drought susceptibility of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and oak (Quercus robur L., Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) – Site water supply and fertility modify the mixing effect (2020, background): “Empirical studies suggest productivity gains resulting from the mixture of Scots pine and oak (Brown, 1992; Toïgo et al., 2015; Lu et al., 2016; Lu et al., 2018; Pretzsch et al., 2019; Steckel et al., 2019), providing additional incentive for forest owners to establish and manage such forests.”
Species interactions increase the temporal stability of community productivity in Pinus sylvestris–Fagus sylvatica mixtures across Europe (2017, unknown): “However, it is well known that such calculations could lead to additional uncertainty at least in mixed stands (Toïgo et al. 2015) as the respective functions were derived from data of monospecific stands.”
Improved productivity and modified tree morphology of mixed versus pure stands of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) with increasing precipitation and age (2016, background): “1997) leads to overyielding on poorer sites in some studies (Pretzsch et al. 2010; Binkley 2003; Toïgo et al. 2014).”
Synthesis and future research directions linking tree diversity to growth, survival, and damage in a global network of tree diversity experiments (2018, background): “, 2017) and had a more pronounced positive effect on tree growth in less productive sites (Jucker et al., 2016; Toïgo et al., 2015).”
Characterization of the structure, dynamics, and productivity of mixed-species stands: review and perspectives (2015, methodology): “Comparison of productivity in mixed versus monospecific stands on tree species and stand level Many studies have found that mixing forest species results in over-or underyielding in comparison with monospecific stands due to interactions between species (Toı¨go et al. 2015).”
