A review of light interception in plant stands from leaf to canopy in different plant functional types and in species with varying shade tolerance (2010, background): “…consist of an upper layer with shade-intolerant species, and of a lower layer with shade-tolerant tree species (Niinemets et al. 1998a, 1999), while in mixed forests, deciduous and evergreen species with contrasting ecological potentials can occupy different canopy positions (Ishii and Asano 2009).”
Overyielding in mixed forests decreases with site productivity (2015, background): “…rhythms leading to a spatial or temporal complementarity in resource use (Pretzsch 2005), plasticity in soil or light resource acquisition (Jumpponen et al. 2002; Ishii, Azuma & Nabeshima 2013) or stand vertical structure (Morin et al. 2011) leading to canopy stratification (Ishii & Asano 2010).”
Crown plasticity enables trees to optimize canopy packing in mixed-species forests (2015, background): “1b), and can be favoured by the coexistence of species with contrasting crown architectures (e.g., height, crown width and shape) and physiological adaptations to shade (Ishii & Asano 2009; Vieilledent et al. 2010; Pretzsch 2014).”
Emergent crowns and light-use complementarity lead to global maximum biomass and leaf area in Sequoia sempervirens forests (2016, background): “…Sequoia to undergo a developmental trajectory whereby phenotypic plasticity of leaf form, foliage aggregation at multiple scales, and regrowth of damaged crowns operate together to maximize leaf area within individual crowns (Monsi and Saeki, 1953; Ishii and Asano, 2010, and Ishii et al., 2013).”
Effects of crown architecture and stand structure on light absorption in mixed and monospecific Fagus sylvatica and Pinus sylvestris forests along a productivity and climate gradient through Europe (2018, background): “Seasonal differences in competition for light can result from mixing evergreen and deciduous species, or deciduous species with contrasting phenology (Ishii & Asano, 2010; Sapijanskas et al., 2014).”
