Herbaceous Understorey: An Overlooked Player in Forest Landscape Dynamics? (2016, background): “Including herbaceous understorey in the simulations slightly enhanced the understorey effect on the tree overstorey, although it was relatively small (Figure 6, difference between ‘tree biomass—no herb layer’ and ‘tree biomass—with herb layer’).”
High solar radiation hinders tree regeneration above the alpine treeline in northern Ecuador (2007, unknown): “So according to our results excess solar radiation indeed hinders tree regeneration above this tropical treeline, similar to what has been found at several temperate treelines (Ball et al. 1991; Germino and Smith 1999; Germino et al. 2002; Kitzberger et al. 2000; Maher et al. 2005; Wardle 1985).”
