• Is the reverse J-shaped diameter distribution universally applicable in European virgin beech forests? (2006, background): “By comparing long-term mortality trends of mature and old-growth hemlock-hardwood forests in Michigan and Wisconsin, it was found that asymmetric U-shaped mortality trends also resulted in rotated sigmoid diameter distributions (Lorimer et al., 2001).”
• Growth, mortality, and morphological response of European beech and downy oak along a light gradient in sub-Mediterranean forest (2005, result): “However, the theory of maximum sustainable height is in contradiction with the general trend of a decrease in the probability of mortality with increasing sapling diameter (Harcombe 1987; Lorimer et al. 2001).”
• Demography of perennial grassland plants: survival, life expectancy and life span (2008, unknown): “While survival and life span are commonly considered predictors of dominance in the forest ecology literature (Grime 2001; Lorimer et al. 2001), explanations for dominance in herbaceous communities rarely mention life span as an explanatory variable (Tilman 1988; Grime 2001).”
• Regeneration responses to gap size and coarse woody debris within natural disturbance-based silvicultural systems in northeastern Minnesota, USA (2011, background): “Lower levels of CWD in managed forest systems result primarily from the removal of larger trees for timber products that otherwise would have served as inputs of CWD (Fridman and Walheim, 2000; Siitonen et al., 2000; Lorimer et al., 2001).”
• Age and size structure of gap-dynamic, old-growth boreal forest stands in Newfoundland (2006, background): “Studies have consistently reported U-shaped mortality rates for old-growth stands (Platt et al. 1988, Runkle 2000, Lorimer et al. 2001).”
• The tree mortality regime in temperate old-growth coniferous forests: the role of physical damage (2010, background): “Mortality determines the upper bounds of tree size and age and influences the form of tree size distributions (Lorimer et al. 2001).”
