Growth responses of neotropical trees to logging gaps (2010, background): “…has examined juvenile stages (Poorter 1999; Baraloto, Goldberg & Bonal 2005), both because assembling sufficient data for adults of many species requires plots of tens of hectares and multiple censuses due to slow diameter growth (Clark & Clark 2001; Wagner et al. in *Corresponding author.”
When family matters: an analysis of Thelotremataceae (Lichenized Ascomycota: Ostropales) as bioindicators of ecological continuity in tropical forests (2008, background): “…et al. 1998), while examples such as the recovery of the Petén after the Mayan deforestation (Rosenmeier et al. 2002), as well as age estimates based on tree growth studies (Clark and Clark 2001; Laurance et al. 2004; Brienen 2005) indicate shorter time spans of 100–500 years for tropical forests.”
Interactive Effects of Water Temperature and Salinity on Growth and Mortality of Eastern Oysters, Crassostrea virginica: A Meta-Analysis Using 40 Years of Monitoring Data (2017, background): “Environmental variation and change make predicting species growth and mortality rates challenging for ecologists and managers (Clark & Clark 2001, Rondinini et al. 2006, Petchey et al. 2015).”
Autocorrelated growth of tropical forest trees: Unraveling patterns and quantifying consequences (2006, background): “Very few studies (Clark and Clark, 2001) separated effects of size and species.”
Measuring tree height: a quantitative comparison of two common field methods in a moist tropical forest (2013, methodology): “A number of different methods are used to measure tree heights from the ground (Clark & Clark 2001; Chave 2005; CTFS 2007).”
Lifetime growth patterns and ages of Bolivian rain forest trees obtained by tree ring analysis (2006, methodology): “In tropical forests, most growth data are obtained in permanent sample plots and cover less than 20 years (Clark & Clark 1992, 2001; Condit 1995) and, as a result, long-term growth patterns have been evaluated using short-term data (Lieberman et al .”
Impacts of human disturbance in tropical dry forests increase with soil moisture stress (2017, methodology): “To measure H, we used a 15 m graduated measuring pole (Clark & Clark 2001) – one person holding the pole, a second acting as “spotter” to assess the mark on the pole which reached the level of the top of the crown.”
Light Heterogeneity and Plants: from Ecophysiology to Species Coexistence and Biodiversity (2003, background): “Or, selection in trees for a fast increase in height to attain a position in the canopy can be at the cost of a narrow crown far from optimal in terms of light capture during the understory phase (King 1990; Clark and Clark 2001).”
