Masting behaviour and dendrochronology of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in southern Sweden (2010, result): “Our results are in line with observation of 40% reduction of diameter increment during mast years in beech (Holmsgaard, 1955) and similar reductions in other tree species during mast years (Eis et al., 1965; Monks and Kelly, 2006; Selås et al., 2002).”
Bioclimatology of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in the Eastern Alps: spatial and altitudinal climatic signals identified through a tree‐ring network (2007, background): “Studies that have employed a long-term data set have usually found trade-offs between radial growth, masting and climate (Woodward et al., 1994; Piovesan & Bernabei, 1997; Selås et al., 2002; Monks & Kelly, 2006).”
Fitness and evolution of resprouters in relation to fire (2011, background): “In addition, many resprouters show fire-stimulated flowering when resources are at a maximum for both sexual reproduction and vegetative recovery (Lamont and Downes 2011), a case of resource matching rather than resource switching (Monks and Kelly 2006).”
