Regeneration growth in different light environments of mixed species, multiaged, mountainous forests of Romania (2006, background): “Even though, resource needs are essentially the same for all species (light, water and nutrients, etc.), among the key resources, light plays a major role (Brunner 1993; Finzi and Canham 2000 ).”
The effect of light conditions on herbs, bryophytes and seedlings of temperate mixed forests in Őrség, Western Hungary (2009, unknown): “Although the light compensation point of forest interior bryophytes is generally low, light conditions in shaded forest can limit the growth of both terricolous and epiphytic species (Proctor 1982, Gabriel and Bates 2003). The most influential factors of forest bryophyte diversity and composition on”
Trade-offs in seedling survival, growth, and physiology among hardwood species of contrasting successional status along a light-availability gradient (2001, result): “We point out, however, that our inferences are necessarily restricted to seedling-stage individuals, and there is evidence that growth responses of larger oaks (e.g., saplings) to light availability may differ from those reported here (Pacala et al. 1994; Finzi and Canham 2000; J. Goodburn and C. ”
Community organization of tree species along soil gradients in a north‐eastern USA forest (2002, unknown): “The work by Finzi & Canham (2000) suggests that A. rubrum could have responded to increased NH4 + availability at low pH, but the low correlation between exchangeable NH 4 + and growth in our study (Table 5) argues against this.”
Leaf area and growth of juvenile temperate evergreens in low light: species of contrasting shade tolerance change rank during ontogeny (2004, unknown): “... of this uncertainty about structural vs storage components of the roots of germinants, it is clear that large juveniles of the two species which survive well in low light have only a small fraction of their biomass directly involved in water and nutrient acquisition (Fig. 5). This is consistent ”
Neighbourhood analyses of the allelopathic effects of the invasive tree Ailanthus altissima in temperate forests (2008, background): “The mean DBH of Ailanthus trees was approximately 20 cm in the three sites (19.9 cm in AM, 21.6 cm in DEF and 24.6 cm in NM), and the maximum DBH ranged from 37.9 cm in DEF to 54.8 cm in AM.”
NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSES OF SMALL‐MAMMAL DYNAMICS: IMPACTS ON SEED PREDATION AND SEEDLING ESTABLISHMENT (2004, background): “…seed dispersal and seedling establishment (Ribbens et al. 1994, Clark et al. 1998, LePage et al. 2000), shading and competition for light (Canham 1989, Canham et al. 1994, Finzi and Canham 2000), and tree species effects on soil properties and nutrient availability (e.g., Finzi et al. 1998a, b).”
SEEDLING SURVIVAL AND GROWTH OF THREE FOREST TREE SPECIES: THE ROLE OF SPATIAL HETEROGENEITY (2003, background): “In northeastern hardwood forests, Pacala et al. (1994) and Finzi and Canham (2000) found that sapling growth beneath closed canopies was limited by light but not by moisture or nitrogen.”
A greater range of shade‐tolerance niches in nutrient‐rich forests: an explanation for positive richness–productivity relationships? (2009, methodology): “Digital images were analysed for percentage light transmission over a growing season using GLI/C 2.0 software (Finzi & Canham 2000).”
