- Functional traits shape ontogenetic growth trajectories of rain forest tree species (2011, background): “In contrast, SLA is weakly or not related to the growth of larger-sized trees (Poorter et al. 2008), possibly because total tree leaf area is more determined by the number of active meristems than by variation in SLA (Sterck & Bongers 2001).”
- A review of light interception in plant stands from leaf to canopy in different plant functional types and in species with varying shade tolerance (2010, background): “…size but, beyond a certain critical tree size, relative crown depth decreases in many species, implying a shift of foliage to higher irradiances in the upper canopy (Hashimoto 1991; Niinemets 1996; Osunkoya et al. 2007; Sterck and Bongers 2001; Sumida and Komiyama 1997; Xu and Harrington 1998).”
- Alternative height strategies among 45 dicot rain forest species from tropical Queensland, Australia (2005, result): “Traits such as LMA, Narea, lateral spread and wood density are known to vary with light level up to two- or threefold within species, in a manner consistent with the relationships reported here (Ellsworth & Reich 1993; Poorter et al. 1995; Sterck & Bongers 2001; Osada et al. 2002).”
- Tropical tree diversity enhances light capture through crown plasticity and spatial and temporal niche differences (2014, background): “Finally, crown development and its response to light are likely to be size dependent for many species (Sterck and Bongers 2001).”
- Allometry, adult stature and regeneration requirement of 65 tree species on Barro Colorado Island, Panama (2006, background): “(King 1996, Sterck & Bongers 2001).”
