Explaining variation in Brazil nut fruit production (2007, methodology): “Using similar methods, Zuidema and Boot (2002) estimated that 7% of all production was not harvested by collectors in Bolivia.”
Population structure and nut yield of a Bertholletia excelsa stand in Southwestern Amazonia (2005, result): “excelsa (Peres and Baider, 1997; Baider, 2000; Zuidema and Boot, 2002).”
Lifetime growth patterns and ages of Bolivian rain forest trees obtained by tree ring analysis (2006, methodology): “Age determinations of Tachigali and Bertholletia are in accordance with estimates based on matrix models for these species (Zuidema & Boot 2002; Worbes et al. 2003; Poorter et al. 2005b) and with one radiocarbon dated Bertholletia tree in Brazil (440 ± 60 years for a tree of 225 cm diameter,…”
Beyond the regeneration phase: differentiation of height–light trajectories among tropical tree species (2005, background): “Many large-stature species only become reproductive when they attain a position in the canopy and get access to light (e.g. Thomas 1996a; Zuidema & Boot 2002).”
Autocorrelated growth of tropical forest trees: Unraveling patterns and quantifying consequences (2006, background): “Genetic differences are probably of lower importance compared to (exogenous) differences between trees in site conditions (soiland hydrologicalcharacteristics),differencesin competition pressure (roots: Casper and Jackson, 1997; light capture: Clark and Clark, 1992; Zuidema and Boot, 2002 ), differ”
Sustainability of a non-timber forest product: Effects of alternative leaf harvest practices over 6 years on yield and demography of the palm Chamaedorea radicalis (2006, background): “Zuidema and Boot, 2002; Ticktin et al., 2002), others showing dramatic negative impacts (e.g.”
