Scaling from Traits to Ecosystems: Developing a General Trait Driver Theory via Integrating Trait-Based and Metabolic Scaling Theories (2015, unknown): “In the case of a single-trait optimum, we approximate this as a symmetric function such as a Gaussian or quadratic trade-off f zð Þ∝ 1& z&zoptσ2 & '2h i , where σ2 is the trait breadth of the trade-off function.”
Climate and competition effects on tree growth in Rocky Mountain forests (2017, methodology): “However, a growing body of evidence indicates that biotic interactions, by substantially moderating tree growth, may influence associated responses to climate variation in important ways (Kunstler et al. 2011; Coomes et al. 2014; Rollinson, Kaye & Canham 2016).”
Influence of competition and age on tree growth in structurally complex old-growth forests in northern Minnesota, USA (2013, background): “Indices differ in the various aspects of competition they intend to express, and as such, their performance in predicting tree growth has varied among studies (e.g., D’Amato and Puettmann, 2004; Kunstler et al., 2011).”
