Litter production, leaf litter decomposition and nutrient return in Cunninghamia lanceolata plantations in south China: effect of planting conifers with broadleaved species (2007, background): “The results of Forrester et al. (2005 ) a lso demonstrated that mixing Acacia mearnsii with E. globulus increased the quantity and rates of N and P cycled through aboveground litterfall when compared with E. globules monocultures.”
Dominance of legume trees alters nutrient relations in mixed species forest restoration plantings within seven years (2008, background): “…diversity (Hiremath and Ewel 2001), especially on infertile sites where functionally diverse mixtures may be more likely to attain higher degrees of acquisition and retention of ecosystem nutrients than homogeneous plant communities (Rothe and Binkley 2001; Güsewell 2004; Forrester et al. 2005a).”
Mixed-species plantations of Eucalyptus with nitrogen-fixing trees: A review (2006, background): “On the scale of trees and stands, Binkley et al. (1992) and Forrester et al. (2005b) found that E. saligna and E. globulus were more efficient in their N and P use than F. moluccana and A. mearnsii, respectively (where efficiency was estimated as aboveground biomass increment per unit nutrient in…”
Potential synergies between existing multilateral environmental agreements in the implementation of land use, land-use change and forestry activities (2007, background): “For example, interplanting a nitrogen-fixing species with a non-N-fixing species can increase total biomass, reduce fertiliser requirements, and increase biodiversity compared with a monoculture of the non-N-fixing species (e.g. Forrester et al., 2005a,b).”
