Influence of competition and age on tree growth in structurally complex old-growth forests in northern Minnesota, USA (2013, background): “Other studies in mixed-species conifer forests have noted a lower sensitivity to competition within more shade-tolerant species (Contreras et al., 2011; Das, 2012), and these relationships may also explain the relatively poor performance of indices approximating competitive conditions for…”
