Growth and mortality are related to adult tree size in a Malaysian mixed dipterocarp forest (2006, background): “As growth is strongly limited by light over this range (e.g. King, 1994; Poorter, 2001), the above pattern would explain the large size-related increase in growth rate among species of similar adult size (Fig.”
Light environment and tree strategies in a Bolivian tropical moist forest: an evaluation of the light partitioning hypothesis (2003, background): “Sapling growth was positively related with leaf area for 40% of the species evaluated (Table 4, cf. Oberbauer et al. (1988); Poorter (2001) and Zagt (1997)).”
Changes in Forest Structure and Species Composition during Secondary Forest Succession in the Bolivian Amazon1 (2003, background): “Interestingly, among the 18 species that showed this type of response, 7 species were previously classified as intermediate or as long-lived pioneer species based on experimental studies, species distributions, and field observations (van Ulft 1998; Poorter 1999, 2001; N. Divico, pers. comm.).”
Growth, biomass allocation, morphology, and photosynthesis of invasive Eupatoriumadenophorum and its native congeners grown at four irradiances (2009, background): “Irradiance is the most important resource for plants, which influences both vegetative and reproductive growth (Chazdon and Pearcy 1986; Poorter 2001; Feng et al. 2007b; Feng 2008).”
Seedling growth and morphology of three oak species along field resource gradients and seed mass variation: a seedling age-dependent response (2010, unknown): “In natural conditions, the amount of light intercepted for photosynthesis is one of the most important environmental factors affecting seedling growth in the understorey, and plants acclimate to this resource through morphological and physiological changes (Poorter 2001; Quero et al. 2008).”
Spatial and temporal variation of biomass in a tropical forest: results from a large census plot in Panama (2003, background): “An obvious shortcoming of most regression methods is that all species from these highly diverse forests are lumped together, ignoring differences in architecture (King 1991), carbon allocation (Poorter 2001), and the number of hollow trees (Fearnside 1996).”
