Mixture reduces climate sensitivity of Douglas-fir stem growth (2016, background): “This may result from a higher variation in diameter and tree heights for European beech compared to Douglas-fir (Pretzsch and Schütze, 2016).”
Above‐ground biomass is driven by mass‐ratio effects and stand structural attributes in a temperate deciduous forest (2018, methodology): “We also added an interaction term between stem density and standard deviation of DBH as a proxy for the degree of canopy packing and vertical stratification (Pretzsch & Schütze, 2016).”
Toward managing mixed-species stands: from parametrization to prescription (2017, background): “…were higher and the size distributions more left-steep (skewness> > 0) and more peaked (kurtosis> > 0) than in monocultures where the size distributions were more symmetrical and flatter (Pretzsch and Schütze 2015) Tree species mixing and structural heterogeneity may modify tree morphology (Fig.”
Characterization of the structure, dynamics, and productivity of mixed-species stands: review and perspectives (2015, methodology): “As mixing can modify above-ground and below-ground resource use, it can have an important effect on the distribution of growth between the trees in a stand and therefore on the mode of competition (Hara 1992, 1993; Pretzsch and Schütze 2014, 2015; Río et al. 2014).”
