• Lifetime growth patterns and ages of Bolivian rain forest trees obtained by tree ring analysis (2006, methodology): “This method has been successfully applied in the analysis of canopy disturbance in temperate forests (Lorimer & Frelich 1989; Orwig & Abrams 1995; Nowacki & Abrams 1997; Lusk & Smith 1998; Rentch et al. 2003).”
• Fifty years of partial harvesting in a mixed mesophytic forest: composition and productivity (2004, background): “A recent dendroecological study found that oak, using growth strategies appropriate to both large and small openings ( 200 m2), became established in remnant oldgrowth forests in the central Appalachians until recruitment ceased in the early 20th century (Rentch et al., 2003).”
• Survival and growth of upland oak and co-occurring competitor seedlings following single and repeated prescribed fires (2008, background): “Notably, oak’s inflexible growth strategy is a major reason why researchers often report successful oak regeneration following a naturally large canopy opening (Rentch et al., 2003) and why some suggest prescribed fires be conducted following silvicultural canopy manipulations, which can provide lon”
• Historic disturbance regimes promote tree diversity only under low browsing regimes in eastern deciduous forest (2013, background): “Based on long- and short-term studies in both old-growth and secondary forests, canopy diversity is reduced compared to historical records (e.g., Rentch et al. 2003, Rentch and Hicks 2005, Schulte et al. 2007) or may be poised for a serious reduction due to depauperate advance regeneration (e.g.,…”
