Radial Variation in Wood Structure and Function in Woody Plants, and Hypotheses for Its Occurrence (2011, background): “Bertram 1989; Woodcock and Shier 2002, 2003 ).”
Wood density, phytomass variations within and among trees, and allometric equations in a tropical rainforest of Africa (2010, background): “Moreover, increase in wood density for the pioneer’s tree was not observed as Woodcock and Shier (2002) did.”
The role of wood density and stem support costs in the growth and mortality of tropical trees (2006, background): “the density of new wood increases as the wood-producing cambium expands outward (Wiemann & Williamson 1988, 1989; Woodcock & Shier 2002 ).”
Error propagation in biomass estimation in tropical forests (2013, background): “It seems difficult to argue that one definition is better than another, but because there is evidence for large within-individual variations (Parolin 2002; Woodcock & Shier 2002; Williamson & Wiemann 2010), it seems a bad idea to mix different sampling methods.”
Growing Plantation Forests (2010, background): “Woodcock and Shier (2002) have advanced the interesting hypothesis that increases in wood density across stem sections tend to occur in the species that grow rapidly in full sunlight.”
