NEIGHBORHOOD MODELS OF THE EFFECTS OF INVASIVE TREE SPECIES ON ECOSYSTEM PROCESSES (2008, background): “Among the late-successional dominant species, sugar maple is characteristic of richer soils and has a higher quality litter than beech and hemlock (Van Breemen et al. 1997, Bigelow and Canham 2002).”
Specific leaf area explains differences in leaf traits between congeneric savanna and forest trees (2005, background): “Soil pH is known to have large effects on N cycling in ecosystems, with nitrification being inhibited by acidic conditions (Ste-Marie & Pare 1999), and soil concentration sometimes becoming particularly high at low pH, relative to ( Bigelow & Canham 2002 ).”
A neighborhood analysis of canopy tree competition : effects of shading versus crowding (2004, background): “Forests often exhibit patchiness in species composition because of a combination of dynamic processes (e.g., limited dispersal, local competitive interactions; Pacala et al. 1996) and niche differentiation of tree species along soil nutrient gradients (e.g., Bigelow and Canham 2002 ).”
Generality and specificity in light harvesting, carbon gain capacity and shade tolerance among plant functional groups (2009, background): “…have only a limited ability to modify leaf anatomy, however, these leaves have a significant capacity to adjust leaf chlorophyll content and the fraction of leaf nitrogen involved in light harvesting (Chl/N ratio) in response to changed light conditions (Brooks et al., 1996; Oguchi et al., 2003).”
NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSES OF SMALL‐MAMMAL DYNAMICS: IMPACTS ON SEED PREDATION AND SEEDLING ESTABLISHMENT (2004, background): “…consistently displayed significant relationships between variables, whereas the analyses involving factors 2 and 3 had many nonsignificant regressions; and (3) this factor displayed variation shown to be important for other forest processes at GMF (van Breemen et al. 1997, Bigelow and Canham 2002).”
Mycorrhizal networks mediate overstorey‐understorey competition in a temperate forest (2004, background): “But a growing number of fertilization and trenching experiments (reviewed in Coomes & Grubb 2000) and studies of juvenile tree performance across natural fertility gradients (Kobe et al. 1995; Walters & Reich 1997; Bigelow & Canham 2002 ) confirm that many temperate and tropical species respond pos”
