- Species mixing reduces drought susceptibility of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and oak (Quercus robur L., Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) – Site water supply and fertility modify the mixing effect (2020, background): “Scots pine and oak have been shown to differ in their drought response in relation to the seasonality of the drought events (Merlin et al., 2015; Toigo et al., 2015; Vanhellemont et al., 2019); Scots pine performs better under spring drought, whereas oak shows a higher resistance under summer…”
- Species interactions increase the temporal stability of community productivity in Pinus sylvestris–Fagus sylvatica mixtures across Europe (2017, unknown): “…mixing may improve different aspects related to the stability of productivity (Jucker et al. 2014; Pretzsch, Schütze & Uhl, 2013; de Dios-García, Pardos & Calama, 2015; Metz et al. 2016), but again, the findings of other research suggest the opposite (Grossiord et al. 2014; Merlin et al. 2015).”
- Mixture reduces climate sensitivity of Douglas-fir stem growth (2016, background): “This interaction of increasing size and increasing sensitivity could also observed for European beech and silver fir (Mérian and Lebourgeois, 2011) and for Scots pine (Merlin et al., 2015).”
- Functional diversity enhances silver fir growth resilience to an extreme drought (2016, background): “However, Merlin et al. (2015) found no differences in the growth responses to climate of sessile oak (Quercus petraea) and Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) forming either mixed or pure stands.”
- The greater resilience of mixed forests to drought mainly depends on their composition: Analysis along a climate gradient across Europe (2021, background): “Results from different authors showed that the benefits of mixture cannot be generalized for all forest types and tree species, noting that the species’ identity could be more important than the number of species in the mixture (Grossiord et al. 2014; Merlin et al. 2015; Pretzsch et al. 2019; Jourda”
