A greater range of shade‐tolerance niches in nutrient‐rich forests: an explanation for positive richness–productivity relationships? (2009, background): “This equation assumes that our light measurements are representative of growing conditions over the previous 5 years, which is not unreasonable given the slow turnover of trees in the Waitutu forests (Kunstler et al. 2009) and a sampling strategy that avoided recent tree fall gaps.”
Elegance versus Speed: Examining the Competition between Conifer and Angiosperm Trees (2012, background): “Indeed, many podocarps on poor soil have tiny, imbricated leaves and yet regenerate un- der the forest canopy because it is so open (Coomes et al. 2009; Kunstler et al. 2009).”
Impacts of introduced deer and extinct moa on New Zealand ecosystems (2010, background): “Importantly, adult New Zealand trees have low annual mortality rates (e.g. Kunstler et al. 2009) and, even in the case of preferred subcanopy tree species like Griselinia littoralis, it is expected that populations will take several centuries to diminish (Nugent & Challies 1988; Nugent 1990).”
