- Plasticity of morphological and physiological traits in response to different levels of irradiance in seedlings of silver fir (Abies alba Mill) (2003, background): “LAR usually decreases with height, and increases with irradiance (Claveau et al. 2002).”
- Sapling size influences shade tolerance ranking among southern boreal tree species (2006, background): “…costs) as tree size increases (Waring 1987; Givnish 1988), with responses including greater allocation to fine roots (Cheng et al. 2005), increased mechanical support (Givnish 1988; Enquist & Niklas 2001) and more complex branch architecture (Cao 2001; Farque et al. 2001; Claveau et al. 2002).”
- Influence of light availability on growth, leaf morphology and plant architecture of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) and ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) saplings (2008, result): “We have to assume that both size and competition affected growth and morphology of our sample trees as we know from some investigations (Messier and Nikinmaa 2000; Claveau et al. 2002; Delagranges et al. 2004).”
- Age and size structure of gap-dynamic, old-growth boreal forest stands in Newfoundland (2006, background): “…plasticity of Abies and Picea species permits maximum possible photosynthetic rates in reduced light conditions (Greis and Kellomäki 1981, Claveau et al. 2002); 3) vegetative reproduction of all three species, especially in continuously moist, moss-rich boreal forests (Bannan 1942,…”
- Overstory influences on light attenuation patterns and understory plant community diversity and composition in southern boreal forests of Quebec (2006, background): “Juvenile survival may depend on whether the gains in growth rates due to higher light availability outweigh the increased costs of being a taller sapling (Claveau et al. 2002).”
