Tree species diversity and ecosystem function: Can tropical multi-species plantations generate greater productivity? (2006, background): “The facilitation hypothesis suggests that plantations which use combinations of species that improve the growing conditions (i.e. nitrogen-fixing trees) for other species may facilitate increases in overall production of a mixed stand (Binkley et al., 2003; Forrester et al., 2006).”
Planted Forests and Biodiversity (2006, background): “Where these conditions are met, as in some (though not all) studies involving two-species mixtures that included nitrogen-fixing trees on N-limited sites, increased biomass yields have been observed (Khanna 1997, Parrotta 1999, Binkley et al. 2003, Forrester et al. 2005).”
Characterization of the structure, dynamics, and productivity of mixed-species stands: review and perspectives (2015, background): “However, mixing can modify both tree allometry (Barbeito et al. 2014; Pretzsch 2014) and between-tree growth partitioning (Binkley et al. 2003; Pretzsch and Schütze 2014).”
Partitioning of net primary production in Eucalyptus and Acacia stands and in mixed-species plantations: Two case-studies in contrasting tropical environments (2013, background): “The introduced NFS is thought to provide N to the stand maintaining soil fertility that would stimulate growth of the non-fixing – target – species and wood production at the stand level (DeBell et al., 1997; Khanna, 1997b; Parrotta, 1999; Binkley et al., 2003; Bristow et al., 2006; Sayyad et al., 2”
Seven decades of stand development in mixed and pure stands of conifers and nitrogen-fixing red alder (2003, background): “A variety of more recent studies have examined the influence of N2fixing trees in mixtures with other species in tropical forests, and some of these fast-growing forests have now covered a full rotation (cf. DeBell et al. 1997; Parrotta 1999; Binkley et al. 2003).”
Age‐related decline of stand biomass accumulation is primarily due to mortality and not to reduction in NPP associated with individual tree physiology, tree growth or stand structure in a Quercus‐dominated forest (2012, background): “In Eucalyptus saligna monoculture plantations, the occurrence, peak and offset of growth dominance were observed at 2, 10 and 20 years, respectively (Binkley et al. 2003); in contrast, a reversal of growth dominance was not observed until >150 years for Pinus contorta stands (Binkley et al. 2006).”
The greater resilience of mixed forests to drought mainly depends on their composition: Analysis along a climate gradient across Europe (2021, background): “…of multi-layered canopies in mixed stands, with different crown architecture and phenology, where shade tolerant species can establish below taller, light demanding species, may enable an efficient complementary light use (Binkley et al., 2003; Sapijanskas et al., 2014 and Forrester et al., 2018).”
