Forest productivity increases with evenness, species richness and trait variation: a global meta‐analysis (2012, background): “Furthermore, these mechanisms may change and grow in number with stand development and site environments (Maestre et al. 2009; Cavard et al. 2011; Chen & Taylor 2011), as comprehensively documented for herbaceous communities (Isbell et al. 2011).”
Competition, species interaction and ageing control tree mortality in boreal forests (2011, background): “It is intuitive that when stands age, larger trees die (Coomes & Allen 2007b), contributing to coarse woody debris (Brassard & Chen 2008) and facilitating canopy succession (Chen & Taylor 2011; Taylor & Chen 2011).”
Linking resource availability and heterogeneity to understorey species diversity through succession in boreal forest of Canada (2018, background): “At any given stand development stage on mesic sites in the region; stands originated from fire can be dominated by conifer, broadleaf or mixed- wood in the overstorey (Chen & Popadiouk, 2002; Ilisson & Chen, 2009; Taylor & Chen, 2011).”
